Status: Partially Found
Stone Temple Pilots Shangri-La Dee Da Documentary is an unreleased documentary produced by Chapman Baehler covering the making of Shangri-La Dee Da (Stone Temple Pilots' fifth album).[1]
History
Although the documentary wasn't officially titled, it was set to be released in late 2001 along with a coffee table book, after the release of the album. It was set to be the "Modern Day Let It Be" (referring to Michael Lindsay-Hogg's film about the Beatles' final album of the same name). The film follows the band through preproduction and hammering out new songs to putting the tunes down on tape. Baehler explained that the documentary included beautiful and moody shots with either Dean or Robert playing an old organ in a secluded wing of the villa, Robert and Scott playing "Wonderful" acoustically, and some "totally awesome rock-out live stuff" in the main recording space.
Fate
It is unknown why the film was never released, many reasons point to the album not performing well on the charts despite performing well with critics and fans alike, the band wanting to make Shangri a double album[2] but the label Atlantic was hesitant about the idea or the inner conflict between the band members which resulted in the band breaking up in 2002 following a physical altercation between lead singer Scott Weiland and guitarist Dead Deleo.[3]
