Poison
Peoria Civic Center
Peoria, IL
Opening Band: Sebastian Bach
I needed to be in the area for a week, so what better time to schedule that than when there was something else going on? That's what I thought :)
I had an awesome seat. It was right near the stage in the lower bowl, 2nd row. Wow! I was so close that I could feel the heat when they set off the pyrotechnics. The show was a lot of fun. I had never seen Sebastian Bach before, but really loved Skid Row way back when. He put on a great set.
I wish that I would have had a better camera...the pics were taken with my phone.
Poison put on a fun show. They pretty much played all of their biggest hits, and that was great. It was like a trip back in the time when they had the original videos playing on the big screen during each of the songs. My, oh my! It sure was cool back then, but I am sure glad that big hair has gone out of fashion :) At the end of the show, Bret had Big John bring out a Corona for him (what happened to Bret's Brew?). He toasted the crowd and thanked everyone for 22 years. Has it been that long already?
