Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots meet up for one night in Camden NJ as headliners for the WMMR’s BBQ. Both bands blew away the near capacity crowd at the Susquehanna Bank Center.

For all those doubters out there who where wondering whether or not William Duvall could compare the late great Layne Stanley, I have good news. Mr. Duvall does indeed hold up to the great expectations, even breathing new life and energy into this classic act.

Stone Temple Pilots rocked the New Jersey stadium with their energy and charisma which was assisted by the psychedelic video big screen backdrop. When the San Diego alt/grung/rock band took the stage, a roaring, deafening cheer arose from the crowd.

They kicked off the set with “Vasoline” and went straight into “Wicked Garden” and continued on to rock the night away with hit after hit. Alice in Chain’s Jerry Cantrell returned to the stage to join Stone Temple Pilots for “Sex Type Thing” to close out the set. For an amazing encore performance, STP invited a lucky fan up on stage to sing the intro to “Dead and Bloated” with Weiland’s megaphone; they ended the show with “Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart”.

Whatever setbacks this band has experienced during the past decade, it clearly has not affected their adoring fans and after all, why should it? When life gives you lemons, make some hard lemonade! It was great to see that none of the band members had lost any of their rock star mojo.

The new Stone Temple Pilots self titled album hit stores May 25, 2010. Watch for STP to continue tour, heading to Europe in June and returning to North America in August and September. (See dates below)
