“This could be the smallest stage I’ve played since 1992,” said former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland before his intimate performance Saturday night at Ricochet. Size clearly didn’t matter as the rocker gave an impassioned two-hour performance, taking only a brief intermission during which he took shots of Corzo Tequila. While Ricochet owner Alan Roth declined to comment about the rehabbed rocker drinking, he did say, “The crowd definitely got their money’s worth.”
