The audio is good. The video is good.
The band plays a solid, non-stop show with a good mix of their hits and "new" stuff.

Unlike many other concert BDs, there is no fluff here. No monologues. No interviews breaking up the action.
You're here to rock, and STP delivers uninterrupted. You sit down, crank your system, and pretend you're in the audience watching Weiland prance about the stage.

I wish I had a recording of the version of Trippin' On A Hole. The tempo changes are magic.

Overall, this is a great watch for fans of a great 90's band which was just getting ready to break apart.

I come from Paris and I will try to explain how I feel about this DVD.

First of all I was waiting for a Stone Temple Pilot DVD to be released a long time ago, they are the last "grunge" band (are they really?) of our time, they survived the 2000's.

Why Scott Weiland always surprises me? I mean you could swear that his voice and performance will suck big time after all he went trough but like always he surprises me again and again:

Very nice intro, nice lights and background. They did make lots of effort on that point and results are beautiful. A big screen with waves during Creep, Circles during Plush...beautiful set up and different in EVERY single song.

Apparently Dean DeLeo added some effect on his guitar that really shines his playing. It does some amazing solos to end the songs, lots of personality in his playing and more depth than before. A guitar player will learn a thing or two.

Robert has a nice voice that you will have a chance to ear! Excellent backing, the DVD sounds very good in general.

Then Scott climbs his podium and it's on you know that's going to get crazy, he is on fire threw the whole concert. What a voice !!! He is a lot more mature then before in his voice and his performance at 44 years old don't except him to jump and bend like before and that's a good thing. My gosh what a style he has! It will inspire your dancing, I dare you not to dance above your bed during Crackerman. Make no mistake Scott might speak slowly and so on but on stage he is ELECTRIC.

If you want to see a stylish, mature and tight rock band live, buy this it will be your best purchase in a long long long time!

I admit that I purchased this Stone Temple pilots dvd of Stone Temple Pilots Alive In The Windy City on April 9, 2015. However, I have previously been familiar with the music of Stone Temple Pilots for quite some time due to the fact that a family member generously gifted me with the Tiny Music Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop by Stone Temple Pilots around the time I was 16 years old. Additionally, the alternative rock station I frequently listened to from the time I was around 14 until I was 19 (radio station Q101 that was based out of Chicago, Illinois until I moved away after enlisting in the U.S. navy in 2000)often played various songs by Stone Temple Pilots. I even purchased and reviewed the Thank You cd on September 13, 2009 after coming across STP greatest hits compilation in a local Orlando Florida library a couple miles from the University of Central Florida (I left the review on the Amazon UK website). Purchasing this dvd is well worth is because the band's music harmonizes well with Scot Weiland's vocals in the concert performance. With this said, I also enjoy music by Linkin Park and have even purchased their recent Hunting Party cd at my job over six months ago. I'm well aware I may get some unhelpful votes for this because it is not a popular sentiment. However, using the name of Stone Temple Pilots without Scott Weiland's powerful music vocals is akin to taking Mike Shinoda or Chester Bennington out of Linkin Park and still calling them Linkin Park. Back to the dvd set, many of the classic hits by Stone Temple Pilots are included on this dvd; Vasoline, Wicked Garden, Big Empty, Sour Girl, Creep, Plush, Interstate Love Song etc. (18 songs). My favorite songs cd wise from Stone Temple Pilots are Wicked Garden, Plush, and Vaseline. The band gave their best unified performance in this dvd concert edition and I would have to say that these were some of my favorite performances concert wise even though the songs have a melancholy tune; Sour Girl, Interstate Love Song, Dead and Bloated, and Trippin On A Hole In a Paper Heart (which is also the closing song on the concert dvd). There is also a bonus feature of an interview with STP.

I'm going to start by saying I really wanted to give this 5 stars. Because this is the only STP DVD there is, I'd say go buy it if you want to see the band live. My only problem with this is the obvious over dubbing of the vocals and I'm not sure why. We all know that most things sound better in the studio than they do live but the energy is here. The band sounds great, the set list is fanstastic. Scott is flamboyant like a cross between Jagger and Bowie. So my problem is.....If you look really closely, there are times when the audio and video are not in sync and it drives me nuts. Why bother to show close up shots of Scott singing if it's not perfectly in sync with the music? The DVD does get better with this issue on the second half. All in all, go get it because it's the only one out there.

Let me first say that I am not much of a fan of STP after "Core" but I liked the concert overall. Not surprised about the performance considering the set list contained some pretty bad songs that they had to promote and play anyway, I guess, though the songs that they chose that were bad were REALLY BAD in my opinion. Some camera views are not in HD, mainly the vews behind Eric Kretz. I did enjoy some songs from "Purple" and liked the songs they chose from that album, but other than that the only songs that I liked were from their debut, Now that I've gotten to the worst parts of the concert let's look at the positives other than song choices:

-The video doesn't really skip too much from one camera to another and the sequences are longer than some other concert videos I've seen in the past.where they try to show you too much of what's going on (split screens; short flashes of the band members when the video doesn't seem to fit how the beat is going or not showing the band members at the appropriate times for solos, etc.).

-Their best songs were great for the most part. The performances of "Crackerman", "Wicked Garden", "Creep", "Plush", "Sex Type Thing", and "Dead and Bloated",were the best of the concert, although "Lounge Fly" and "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart" were great too.

4 is a little high for a rating for this Blu-ray concert even though I gave it a four. I give it a 3.5 overall.
