100%. He had the talent and the showmanship to do his goofy dance and perform perfectly in front of 33k people. It makes me wonder where are the bands that have the talent but can't perform under the pressure of such a huge crowd?
I feel Eric Kretz doesn't get enough credit. He plays for the song not for himself. Clean & uncomplicated. Gives the guitar and vocals plenty of space to play around in but is powerful and classy when it comes to fills and changing into the different parts of the song. I like his style of drumming.
STP's rhythm section is badass. Robert DeLeo's bass lines are so thoughtful and melodic, and then you have Kretz keeping the beat and adding tasteful fills in the perfect spots. These two are brilliant.
THANK YOU! lol i've never seen anything like this with a band. I think it's also the appeal of it being live and the time period it was in. I feel like im back in 2001 listening to this. Pre 9/11 America
I was this concert. It was so amazing I can't even tell you. But every time I think about this day, it gives me chills that we had no idea the whole world would change in 2 months. For me, this was the end of the era for anyone that was in college around this time.
The sound of this song mesmerized and floored me the first time I heard it. I’d never heard a rock song like it before, so creative - the way it builds and crescendos is just jaw dropping. This song is powerful and a testament to Scott’s gifting and this band’s greatness. It’s just a perfect sound.
@@acaldwe1174 I think he eventually would have dipped into Country music. He signed country artists to his label and would always comment how country fans were the only ones who still went out and bought physical copies of albums. Not to mention he did some very country sounding songs in his own career, most notably the song ‘The Man I Didn’t Know’ from his second solo album.
This is the 1st song i heard all those years ago............Too much trippin and my soul's worn thin........Fuck'n ACE....thanks for the wild ride Scott. Rest deeply in the Big Sleep X
This could possibly be the greatest live performance in music history. Seriously. 3:20-3:55 when Eric reaches his crescendo is just phenomenal. They don’t make em like these boys anymore, sadly.
I was going to comment exactly this, well said. The crowd and band each fueling that building energy; fantastic segment and what live music is all about in my opinion.
I was at this amazing show. The 2nd of the awesome RR Town Fairs I attended. Nearly 100 Degrees of East Coast US humidity in that sea of a crowd up front. I can still feel and sense where I was as STP kicked major A and left it all out there. It is like this concert became part of my soul. Thanks STP
STP was one of the favourite bands of my best friend, everytime I hear a STP song I have to think of him, unfortunately he drowned..may he rest in peace.
The. Greatest. Rock. Performance. They are so on fire here...and so are the band! I've never seen a show where the crowd knocked me out more than a knockout band...wow...just, wow.
STP is so damm good it's not even fair. one of the best bands ever, imo. I kinda love how the critics bash them but now since they reunited there scratching their heads at the live shows saying "damm these guys really are amazing..."
Summer 1993. What an amazing time to be alive. Youth, fast motorcycles, love and rock and roll!! Not to mention the government didn't have a camera up your ass back then either.
no someone said he wasnt an amazing frontman and i said he was. he is most certainly amazing. i have seen velvet revolver live and was thoroughly impressed with his showmanship.
Thank god my dad liked good music. I’m almost 36 but my dad was a die hard stp, Alice In Chains and soundgarden fan. We’d drive around and he’d blast this stuff. Growing up on Long Island in the 90s was such an epic time. If only I was a little older it would have been so cool to experience the mid 90s as a teenager as opposed to an elementary school kid
I grew up in the 80s-90s. It was great but I would have enjoyed the freedom of the 60's-70's too. Hell I'd like to visit every decade. Unfortunately I don't see anything great about the last 20 years.. But in another 20 years things will be so bad that people will be nostalgic about this current era. A time when the government couldn't shut your car off..A time just before social credit scores and Globalism enslaved the world.
This is classic! Scott's performance here was flawless! This is the kind of shamanic energy a front man of a high powered rock and band should have. As others have asked, where is this magic today? I miss soulful rock and roll! Ok, I'll retire to my porch now! LOL! Great video! Thanks for posting.
I had to get a Scottie Fix. Love to watch you move. Hear your voice live. This is as alive as you will ever be. And with this, you will be alive as long as I am. 💗
Wow! Im in my late 40's Gotta say these guys are great.What the hell did I miss out on. Scott is a throw back to Bowie, hes awesome, the guitarist I will say I never heard of and thats a shame, I would say very underrated. Excellent Live Performers and versatile! Thank God for UA-cam...
Where in the actual literal world were you during the early to mid 90’s to have totally no knowledge of STP? They had so many great song’s especially from their first two albums that I’m definitely quite surprised that there would be a 40 something year old alternative and rock music fan alive in 2021 but to not have heard or experienced STP songs in 90’s. Be that-as-it-may, I’ll just quote the “surf shop kid” from another early 90’s classic, Point Break, (lemme guess, you never watched it😴) where the kid wisely gives some encouraging advice saying, “That's what I'm saying. It's never too late. Hope you stick with it.”
This live version has so many cool things going for it. One of my favorite things is the way he says “her dizzy head” in this version. It’s just different enough from the way he says it on the studio version to be noticeable, but not different to be distracting. I dig it.
Wow man.. this was alot different from the mtv unplugged rocking chair phase wasn't it. Still just as amzing. 5 mother f'in gold stars! Artist nowadays need more drugs I swear.
Just pulled the acoustic out and learned the bassline to this 🔥🔥🔥 One of the sickest basslines ever this whole show is nuts but this version of Big Empty sounds incredible notsure if it could be topped
@jsanabria totally ..he did a track on chris Robinsons New Earth Mud album which has an absolutely sick bassline...its worth checking out tho the title escapes me ATM cheers
He was born for the stage. Period.
100%. He had the talent and the showmanship to do his goofy dance and perform perfectly in front of 33k people. It makes me wonder where are the bands that have the talent but can't perform under the pressure of such a huge crowd?
@@namrog7971 He was most likely higher than F#ck then
I feel Eric Kretz doesn't get enough credit. He plays for the song not for himself. Clean & uncomplicated. Gives the guitar and vocals plenty of space to play around in but is powerful and classy when it comes to fills and changing into the different parts of the song. I like his style of drumming.
3:52 the crowd just go nuts when Eric throws everything into that fill before the final chorus
@@ChrisGorski The guy is fucking amazing! Pure soul and groove and that´s all that the drums are about.
@@ChrisGorski well said brother
STP's rhythm section is badass. Robert DeLeo's bass lines are so thoughtful and melodic, and then you have Kretz keeping the beat and adding tasteful fills in the perfect spots. These two are brilliant.
@@mmoonnchildd killin bass line
"Time to take her home..." Rest in peace, Scott. We will miss you!
Miss him so much 🤘🤘
Like # 200
The guy was epic in so many ways
Seven years already, damn. Gone but never forgotten.
The brightest stars burn twice as bright and half as long..
I so love that BR reference...
This is one of my favorite live performances I've ever seen of a song.
I'd hate be the band following this performance.
He's wiggly!
Isn’t it NUTS lol
Like most of there taped shows. Great live band. Put it all out there as they should.
It's up there
The only song I like better than Big Empty is Big Empty live
so fucking true!!!!!
You realize only 3 instruments are playing well 4 if you include Scott's voice.
@@acaldwe1174 so?
That's my point how big the sound is with just that set up. It sounds great.
THANK YOU! lol i've never seen anything like this with a band. I think it's also the appeal of it being live and the time period it was in. I feel like im back in 2001 listening to this. Pre 9/11 America
Ok ..I'm 55 and I just shed a tear watching this..Damn it Scott wtf?..just rest in peace bro.
When Scott was on fire, he was really on fire. 🔥
He burned like a holy motherfucker!!!!!!!! 🔥
God!!! I really do miss the 90's!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick Trussell they were amazing!!!!!
pretty sure it's the 00's
@@cornfucker6662 I guess he means when the song came out
We all do mate!
Meeeee toooo
That's what exactly I feel... A Big Empty so long Scotie.
Rock and roll peaked in the "90S. It will never be better than this...I hope I'm wrong.
Sup bro. 13 years later, hasn’t gotten much better
I was this concert. It was so amazing I can't even tell you. But every time I think about this day, it gives me chills that we had no idea the whole world would change in 2 months. For me, this was the end of the era for anyone that was in college around this time.
What year??
@@oneandonlywoody65 this was 2001
I’m actually in this video!
agreed...I too was in college and things def changed on that day and looking back it does feel like an era ended for us 80s and 90s kids.

Oh man what happened to this rock? Am I missing something modern?
Dean and Robert were massive jazzheads. They incorporated a lot jazz and bossa nova concepts into their rock songs. Thats why it sounds unique
God, what happened to music? So good.
it got consumed by utilized entertainment for means of manipulation. dumb the senses, dumb the people. stimulation deprivation.
Hahahaha reading this comment on 02/06/24 and I'm thinking the same as you lol
REST IN PEACE SMOKING A THOUSAND BONG RIPS IN YOUR MEMORY.. HOPE YOU'RE JAMMING WITH THE GREATEST MUSICIANS IN THE ASTRAL PLANES.
Love the Charles B thumbnail
Probably the best live performance of big empty purely ecstatic
God Damn i miss this guy, total frontman
unbelieveable listen to the crowd when they start playing that hook
R.I.P. Scott
+Amanda Murphy altisimoooo cantanteeeee!!
Amanda Moon wow u really hot
Wish he could have held on. He have easily blended into today's Country Music climate.

Video starts at 00:00
wow really
Tim Bruse Thank you for this information lol
Correct.
Good service
Thanks bro
I wish I could like this 50,000 times.
one of the best vocalists ever!
Beautiful to see an artist enjoying their own music, like every member of this band.
One of the best songs of the best soundtrack of all time. Bought it twice, cause the first one rotated too often in my portable cd player.
Scott had some nice dance moves 😂
Naomi.. up to?
Seriously!! 😂😂😂😂
I think Axl Rose did
The man was a legend. Interestingly, he said his daughter went on to study musical theater. The fusion of song, dance and performance art.
Unfortunately I think it’s the drugs more than anything
This is the 1st song i heard all those years ago............Too much trippin and my soul's worn thin........Fuck'n ACE....thanks for the wild ride Scott. Rest deeply in the Big Sleep X
He moves like Bowie. Rip Bowie & Weiland
Yes he learned from the master.
This could possibly be the greatest live performance in music history. Seriously. 3:20-3:55 when Eric reaches his crescendo is just phenomenal. They don’t make em like these boys anymore, sadly.
I was going to comment exactly this, well said. The crowd and band each fueling that building energy; fantastic segment and what live music is all about in my opinion.
All i can think of is The Crow
Song matched well with the movie's mood.
Same
Same
One of the greatest songs ever. And I do mean ever
What a banger! This should have way more views
I was at Spring Break Rocks in Panama City, Florida, March 16, 1997. The show was EPIC!!!
The energy is incredible scott weiland will always be my favorite singer
30 years ago, this song was featured in The Crow. 30 years later, I'm back here again in 2024. Rip Scott & Brandon Lee.
One of the best STP songs, and perhaps one of the best songs I've ever heard in my lifetime.
*Out of Eddie, Layne, and Chris, Scott had way more stage presence. This guy just destroyed anything in his path and looked cool doing it.*
I was at this amazing show. The 2nd of the awesome RR Town Fairs I attended. Nearly 100 Degrees of East Coast US humidity in that sea of a crowd up front. I can still feel and sense where I was as STP kicked major A and left it all out there. It is like this concert became part of my soul. Thanks STP
SAw them and Godsmack. They were great. It was also a amazing show. Scott was great throughout the entire show.
Let me guess, you went on to become a meteorologist..
I’ve watched a lot of live performances of a lot of songs. I’m not sure if anything tops this one. This was special in every facet
Rest in peace weiland. You're the man.
Best live version out there. Song and performance are just perfect.
This song will rock for generations to come...a true classic.
STP was one of the favourite bands of my best friend, everytime I hear a STP song I have to think of him, unfortunately he drowned..may he rest in peace.
Dean is indeed underrated those solos on Down Vasoline Coma and Trippin on a hole are deadly!!
this whole concert is one of the best ive ever seen
This song is insanely good. Prob my favourite STP track . What a performance Live
One of my favs ....great song! You rock Scott! RIP
This song is beautiful, the mind, body and spirit. It's beautiful.
The. Greatest. Rock. Performance. They are so on fire here...and so are the band! I've never seen a show where the crowd knocked me out more than a knockout band...wow...just, wow.
He was an amazing lyricist.
I'll never get tired of listening to STP stuff
Rest easy Scott. Thank you for making the soundtrack of our lives. I will always love you and STP!!!
STP is so damm good it's not even fair. one of the best bands ever, imo. I kinda love how the critics bash them but now since they reunited there scratching their heads at the live shows saying "damm these guys really are amazing..."
Happy birthday wherever you are out there Scott
Choeus is giving me goosebumps
best video on the internet. period.
R.i.p Rock God
miss you..... Rock God and Legend.....Fallen Angel...so to speak......
who's favorite??? MY child's favorite of their's......she has good taste....trust me I KNOW....asswipes...hahaha
A masterpiece
Still can't believe Scott is gone. RIP !!
I love this song very much
Summer 1993. What an amazing time to be alive. Youth, fast motorcycles, love and rock and roll!!
Not to mention the government didn't have a camera up your ass back then either.
Ethan Peterson LOL LOL HAHAHA i bet he wouldnt mind one up his ass!!
yea
Graduated HS summer 93. What a. year indeed.
@@billrobertjoe A little salty I would say.
Well Said !
I had the pleasure of seeing STP in concert
The 90’s was where it hit a pinnacle of rock music! Loved being a teen those years!

Jan Marc Ponce it’s a hell of a concert up there ☝🏼
The last era of great bands. Been since the 90's that any great bands started.
love at first sight with this song! 4 ever
This was top 10 performances of a song I have ever seen !
I had to get a Scottie Fix.
Love to watch you move. Hear your voice live.
This is as alive as you will ever be. And with this, you will be alive as long as I am. 💗
22 years old when this came out, world by the balls, hot summer nights!

Great !!!!!
what! you're all crazy! scotts dancing is amazing!! STP rocks, nuff said

One of the reasons why I love this performance
I feel you. the same happens to me with interstate love song from this live presentation. it sounds so much heartfelt
They way he hits that last conversations kill in the second hook is something else. Pure artistry
Mtv unplugged was awesome big empty
Excellent song in so many ways, Vocals, lyrics, Guitar, and that epic Bassline.
Top band of the 90's by far. R.I.P Scott.
The singer that I liked the most and to this day I am sad for his death!
Descanse em paz e obrigado por tudo! Scott forever!
Wow man.. this was alot different from the mtv unplugged rocking chair phase wasn't it. Still just as amzing. 5 mother f'in gold stars! Artist nowadays need more drugs I swear.
A lot*
Thank you God for Stone Temple Pilots

Essa música tão linda...toca meu coração ❤ ❤ ❤.
This song is about making the decision of buying heroine and taking it home to get high. There’s nothing beautiful about that ;)
Cheers!
Pretty much my favorite part about "The Crow" movie. Aside from everything else. lol
The way he’s dancing ❤
Voice of an angel.
I love how each member gets a chance to kickAss!! They worked so well together.
