SCOTT WEILAND Covers NIRVANA, THE DOORS, ROLLING STONES At New York City Concert

May 20, 2011

On May 17, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/ex-VELVET REVOLVER vocalist Scott Weiland published his memoir, "Not Dead & Not For Sale", and held a book-release signing at Barnes & Noble in Union Square in New York City which was to be followed by a concert presented by 101.9 RXP at the Gramercy Theater. Scott reportedly showed up to the book signing/interview session about 45 minutes late due to the fact that he was "soundchecking at the Gramercy." Scott and Matt Pinfield then had a discussion about the book, announced a Williamsburg Waterfront show for New York City this summer and Scott signed copies of the book for everyone in attendance.

Weiland's show at the Gramercy reportedly didn't begin until 11:30 p.m. and featured a setlist that consisted entirely of covers:

01. [Jam]
02. Waiting for a Superman (FLAMING LIPS cover)
03. Into Your Arms (LEMONHEADS cover)
04. But Not Tonight (DEPECHE MODE cover)
05. I Am the Resurrection (STONE ROSES cover)
06. Let Down (RADIOHEAD cover)
07. Jean Genie (DAVID BOWIE cover)
08. Dead Flowers (THE ROLLING STONES cover)
09. Roadhouse Blues (THE DOORS cover)
10. Fame (DAVID BOWIE cover)
11. Frances Farmer Will Get Her Revenge On Seattle (NIRVANA cover)

Encore:

12. Unglued (STONE TEMPLE PILOTS cover)

Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be viewed below.

"Not Dead & Not For Sale" was released via the Simon & Schuster imprint Scribner. Weiland, 43, collaborated on the project with David Ritz, the "Sexual Healing" lyricist who has co-written autobiographies for the likes of Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and more recently Don Rickles.

Weiland is reportedly working on both a new solo album and a new STONE TEMPLE PILOTS record.
