Stone Temple Pilots “Live in New Haven 1994” was recorded at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on August 23rd, 1994, only a month after their sophomore album “Purple”, released July 1994. The set list features live versions of hits such as “Vasoline”, “Plush”, “Interstate Love Song“, and more.
For sheer enjoyability, Stone Temple Pilots’ “Purple” is among the favourite albums ever recorded, not to mention proof that 1994 was one of the best years for music. It’s one of the albums I had on repeat in my car back in the grunge days, enjoying heavy rotation alongside the likes of Radiohead’s The Bends and a Feeder Greatest Hits album. Hey, it was a different time.
“Live in New Haven 1994” was actually released on August 23rd, 1994, a month after “Purple” had hit shelves, so it’s not surprising to see the setlist packed with fan favourites from the band’s sophomore effort. “Interstate Love Song”, “Meatplow”, “Still Remains”, “Vasoline”, “Silvergun Superman” – they’re all there, while heavy-hitters from the group’s debut “Core” also feature.
