The exclusive launch event was held at the Harry Houdini estate in the Hollywood Hills. The band hit the stage in front of a select group of fervent fans and contest winners and gave the concert-goers a special preview of what can be expected from STP's 2008 reunion outing with a powerful 7-song set that featured many of the band's top hits including "Plush," "Interstate Love Song" and "Vasoline."
