Stone Temple Pilots took on "Dancing Days" in 1995, reaching back to the Jimmy Page and Robert Plant song that Led Zeppelin had put on Houses of the Holy, and they play it with obvious affection. Brendan O'Brien produced and mixed it and Nick DiDia engineered, and the band keeps the strut while loosening the sound: Dean DeLeo switching between acoustic and electric guitars, Robert DeLeo adding acoustic guitar to his bass, Eric Kretz on drums and percussion, and Scott Weiland crooning and sneering over the top like he's having the time of his life.
