On August 30, 2024, LIVE and Stone Temple Pilots, along with Soul Asylum, performed at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL. It was an unforgettable night of 90s rock, and it lived up to every expectation.

Soul Asylum

Kicking off the evening was Soul Asylum, who brought their signature alternative rock sound to the stage. Their performance was full of energy. They knew exactly how to engage with the crowd, creating a connection that made the night feel personal and electric.

Stone Temple Pilots

Next up was Stone Temple Pilots, who absolutely electrified the venue. From the moment they hit the stage, it was clear they were ready to deliver an unforgettable performance. Their interaction with the crowd was nothing short of amazing. Frontman Jeff Gutt engaged with the audience at every turn. It made the massive venue feel intimate and connected with Dean DeLeo’s guitar riffs, Robert DeLeo’s bass lines and Eric Kretz’s drumming.

The setlist was a well-curated mix of their greatest hits and some deeper tracks that thrilled die-hard fans. “Plush” and “Interstate Love Song” were, of course, the highlights, with the entire crowd singing along, but tracks like “Vasoline” and “Big Empty” brought a wave of energy that swept through the audience. The band’s energy was infectious, and they knew exactly how to play off the crowd. Every song was delivered with a level of passion that showed Stone Temple Pilots are still very much at the top of their game.

The interaction between the band members was just as engaging as their connection with the crowd. You could see the connection and the joy they took in performing together, which only showed with the energy in the venue. By the time they wrapped up their set, the audience was left amazed, perfectly primed for LIVE’s headlining performance. Stone Temple Pilots did not just warm up the crowd—they lit the place on fire and set the bar incredibly high for the rest of the night.
