Looking ahead to the rest of the week, we see the return of Stone Temple Pilots to Charter One Pavilion, Rilo Kiley to The Riv in Chicago, and Blues legend Lonnie Brooks performs a post race concert this Saturday at Arlington Park in the burbs.

But the pick of the week is to see how Scott Weiland and Stone Temple Pilots fare. Fresh out of jail and ready to take the stage after serving a short DUI sentence, STP FINALLY returns together to Chicago. For a band that took the 90’s by storm, the real question is will they still have it together here in 2008 on Thursday night. That’s the bottom line of what everyone is thinking, but we feel once the hits start cranking, the fans at Charter One won’t remember what year it is. Whether he’s cruising thru the parking lot on a gold cart before the show or just bouncing all over the stage, you just never know what Scott Weiland may do next. But this show should not be missed. Tickets are still available so get them while you can. Might as well since Friday should be a short day heading into a holiday weekend, it seems like the right way to start it. Don’t you think?
