For STP guitarist Dean DeLeo, the prospect of reuniting with his
old bandmates wasn’t entirely free of headaches. “Once word got
around that we were getting back together, the bean counters
started lining up,” he says. “You could see the dollar signs flashing
in their eyes.” But all that disappeared when the group played
their first gig in six years. “From the first chord to the last, it was
so easy. Playing with these guys feels like going home.”
