None other than Live Nation. According to Billboard.com, the coming-of-age music empire will produce a huge chunk of the 65-date STP summer trek, the band's first since disbanding in 2002.This summer fans should expect to hear STP play staples "Big Empty,":http://youtube.com/watch?v=3_1SYJuSZKs "Plush," "Interstate Love Song," "Vaseline," "Lady Picture Show," "Big Bang Baby," and "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart" -- all which were rocked to at yesterday's Houdini hoedown."We shot our video for 'Creep' here in the early '90s," Weiland said of the place, swarming with music industry folk and contortionists last night.
