I finally got to see the show on weds july 30th at jones beach theater on long island. As usual it was a great show ! Eight of us got there around 6pm. I usually make it a tradition to have some drinks and mingle with the rockers in the parking lot…but for some STUPID reason Sabastian Bach was on first and that annoyed me. I thought for sure Dokken would…havent heard from them in years. Whatever…anyway i got a text from a girl i knew who was already there telling me : Duck..you better put down your beer and get your ass up here..your boy is on.” So we down our beers and haul ass to our seats. We were lucky enough to know some people who got us in the orchestra section…we were pretty happy about that! So baz is on and his vocals were stellar…wow! I’ve always known he’s had some great set of pipes but I didnt think he still had it that good! He was great and his band was loud and tight! Just the way i like my rock n roll man! He played some SKID ROW ers stuff (18 and life / Youth gone wild / and of course…I’ll remember you – which got all the girls panties wet )
and he also played stuff from his new release : ANGEL DOWN. That shit rocked man! I was very impressed! Baz had the crowd singing along and pumping their fists…he’s still a great frontman , no doubt! I’m happy i finally got to see him live after all these years…
Dokken: was a BIG suprise! Even without the amazing guitar work of george lynch not being present the band kicked ass! Don’s vocals were excellent and the new guitarist he had by his side rocked! Very cool…they mostly played their greatest hits. I’ve never been a huge fan of these guys so I’ll just say that it was worth seeing them live…
POISON…ok..seen these guys many many summers and even though the show was (as usual) worth every penny…I really wish they would change up the set list a little here and there! Christ…it truly is the SAME show every summer. Dont get me wrong…it was a blast and i was up on my feet the whole time singing..dancing..and rocking out! But the same songs and the same order? Maybe I’ve seen them too many times? Besides the fact that they mostly played their greatest hits (Look what the cat dragged in / fallen angel / I want action / I wont forget you / Ride the wind / Every Rose / Unskinny bop *my personal fave /
Nuthin but a good time / Something to believe in / Ect Ect.
I really wish they kept the remake of “What i like about you” by the romantics off the list. God I hate that song. Does anyone else agree they should have left this damn song off the set list? All in all…a GREAT show! Every rock concert I attend I make the BEST of..anyone who knows the duck, knows I dont fuck around when it comes to rock n roll…this concert was worth it. Oh! A great added feature to the concert was Rikki’s drum solo. It gets better every year. This show was really cool because he set up a stereo next to a wooden box and pounded the shit out of it while the beat played on. Maaaan that was some good stuff right there! I was groovin to that beat like a mutha! Great drum solo from a guy who’s really not known as a great drummer… (which I’ll never get) The girls were swarming all over the place due to that whole corney rock of love crap…not that im complaining! I met some really cute girls that night…one in perticular that made me laugh out loud! It’s good to know there are still some real girl ROCKERS out there! Whats a good concert without some pretty ladies huh? Def see the show ifn they roll into your town next summer….you wont be dissapointed! Keep on rockin and rollin…and keep it LOUD!!!!!!!!!!! (and tell him the duck told ya so!!!)

How funny? Just got a text from my friend that she just picked up 6 tickets to the show! I’ll be rockin out at Jones Beach Theater on longisland to the boys on july 30th!! Pretty damn good seats too! This is now my “7th” summer seeing them and im psyched! Really looking foward to seeing Dokken and Baz. You just cant stop rock n roll man…
I’ve seen poison live for the past 6 summers and i’ve never been dissapointed. It’s a high energy show that keeps the crowd on it’s feet and the fists pumping in the air. Looking foward to see sabasion bach and dokken. should be a great show…
Now if i could only get tickets to see VH with roth for a 2nd time….
Toronto and Bufffalo aren’t on the tour! This sucks, they ALWAYS come to Toronto! Hoping for July 14 or August 11 to change from an off-day to a TORONTO day.
You have to bring this tour to Buffalo, Rochester or Syracuse NY. YOu will be a sell out if you do. HUGE FAN!!! Sebastian has been an awesome support with is music for me while dealing with my daughters cancer. I turn on my music and the pain goes away.
Poison always puts on a great show, Sebastian Back..unsure of how well he performs these days..was great with Skid Row, however their new rocks. But DOKKEN on the other hand…my god, they blew the roof off at Rocklahoma with an incredible performance and crowd response. The new guitar player, Jon Levin, is nothing short of incredible and to fill the shoes of George Lynch, thats an accomplishment…I will drive out of state for this one if I have to.
I’m a huge Poison fan and I’ve seen then a couple of times including the NY State Fair in Syracuse last summer. I love Sebastian Bach from his Skid Row days and am eager to see him. Hope Central NY is on their tour.
That settles it! I’m gettin a bleached blond wig, a motorhome, and am gonna tour the US this summer chasing these show!
Please, get some dates. This is one helluva tour. Hearing Sebastian’s new album live will be great.
