I attended this concert that included Joan Jett, Def Leopard, Motley Crue and of course POISON! POISON by far was my favorite! Bret Michaels performed like he did back in the 80'S!!! Also still very sexy! He just performed this past weekend in my hometown in Sandusky, Ohio! I couldn't attend due to a family wedding. I viewed videos on facebook from friends that were able to attend!!! Again Bret you rocked it!!! Still upset I couldn't attend, hopefully I'll be able to see you and/or POISON agian!!!!

Great show! I would love to see Poison again. (And get closer seats with a back stage pass.) Bret Michaels has the best energy on stage. Thanks for the memories, Linda F

It was a multi bill concert that had 1. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. 2. Poison 3. Motley Crue Reunion 4. Def Leppard. The show was great until, Def Leppard. They were horribly boring and lacked the punch that Motley Crue and Poison had. They should never have been the headliner and should have followed Joan Jett and Motley Crue should have been the headliner as they stole the show from Def Leppard and Poison was equally phenomenal. However, when Def Leppard took over, thousands of people were leaving after the 3rd song.

Fantastic concert enjoyed all the performers my favorite band is poison really enjoyed the head singer Bret Michaels has a wonderful voice enjoyed his performance excellent. Ylonda O’Neal KC Missouri

Great show! Thanks to the bands, and the staff at the venue! It was extremely hot, but they had water available and plenty of folks to make sure everyone was ok. Awesome time!

The concert was awesome, lots of energy! The only problem was they only played for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Lots of money for a 1 hour show

“With a break from the heat but not from the music (a pleasant 80° post 17 days of 90+ heat), the Stadium Tour finally rolled into Charlotte for a Tuesday show. Finally sums it up well as tickets for the 36 city tour originally went on sale in December of 2019! It was my first time seeing Def Leppard (despite many opportunities) and also Crue so I was super-excited. I had seen Jett in Spring of ’89 and Poison in 2017 when I showed up for Cheap Trick (the first half of a double-bill), and left a believer in Poison! The order of the 7 hour day was Joan Jett then Poison who were billed as ‘special guests’, next were Motley Crue and Def Leppard on the alternation swapping their order out every other show as ‘co-headliners’. Of note there was also an opening band ‘Classless Act’ coming in with perfect timing for their debut album just days earlier. An estimate of the age of the majority of attendees was 50 plus, the atmosphere at our seats pungent and earthy. Joan age 63 came on promptly and without a lot of fan fair. She immediately got the crowd off their feet, ‘Are you ready for a day of rock and roll?’ Dressed all in black, black Gibson in hand with a pink heart on it ‘Girl Is Not A Four Letter Word’, we could all agree on one thing, that ‘ROCK’ is! The drum kit in like fashion was all in black monogramed on the bass drum, ‘JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS’. The fact that Joan had been touring right up to the stadium dates was evident in the fact that she did not miss a single beat throughout the 45 minute set. She sounded identical to me as she had some 33 years earlier. Poison coming off a 4 year hiatus was simply amazing! The energy alone from Bret Michaels working the crowd (dressed in a black Poison shirt with trademark bandanna) was contagious. ‘I don’t care if it snowed, we were coming here to throw a party!’, at 59 he looks great! CC at 60 with long hair, aviator glasses, his red vested top hat and GMP flying V was strong as ever playing a 4 minute solo (far too short to spotlight his talent) that included an excerpt from ‘Eruption’. Rikki Rockett had a super cool green kit with the Poison skull and bones on the bass drum, the bones were images of sticks creatively spelling out his name. A row of light boxes kept everything captivating and bright during the hour long daylight set. Crue was the most visual. Being their first major tour in 7 years the anticipation was mounting as even their stage set was reported being shut up a warehouse for over two years. A sound from the video screens came on like a breaking news report, ‘For the next 2 hours music will be the only form of communication!’ What seemed to be a stage length partition designed to conceal the stage crew during the turn time doubled as a video screen with the words ‘THE FUTURE IS OURS’, rising up and revealing the set. There were four large radio towers or ‘lighting trees’ with spiked tips extending up. There was what looked to be erector set staging all over the stage with which dancing girls could use to climb. Yes there were dancing girls ‘The Nasty Habits’, who also sang and I’m pretty sure they weren’t background tracked. Two huge inflatable futuristic looking mannequins filled up the already crowded stage for ‘Girls Girls Girls’. Neil addressed the crowd, ‘We’re back, we’re back, you thought we were gone and now were f*****g back… let’s go! The focus would not be on Vince Neil’s voice but his frontman-ship. I had heard that he has never really had a strong stage voice so I wasn’t there to hear studio albums reproduced. However had stated that he was going to get himself in shape for the tour (and after recently seeing Bon Jovi), he did a great job! Tommy Lee who had suffered 4 broken ribs a couple weeks prior to opening night played his first entire set! He was also featured on a piano that rose up from beneath the catwalk for ‘Home Sweet Home’. One couldn’t tell that Mick Mars 71 was the oldest performer of the evening, he carried himself with the best of them. There were to be no pyrotechnics on this tour however at the end of Crue’s set, a huge smoke screen from the back of the floor section rose toward the sky like giant pink cotton candy, awful smelling and view obstructing. The band played an hour and a half. Honestly, that stage was a lot to switch out for Def Leppard and it took about 35 minutes, the crew did great. A video screen countdown commenced, 10-9-8… and Leppard followed with a flawless 18 song set. Joe Elliott 62 in the front clearly has stayed in vocal-shape, ‘It’s been a hell of a wait, we want to thank you for waiting for us!’ The bands recent gig at the ‘Whisky A Go Go’ was all it took to get them in top form for this tour which included four tracks from the new album. The set list was heavy on the Hysteria album being its 35th anniversary, a whopping seven songs made the cut. The custom drum kit had the ‘Diamond Star Halos’ eye with the DL pyramid on it operating under clear command and control of Rick Allen sporting his Union Jack headphones. A second drum set rose up out of the catwalk for ‘This Guitar’ the first song in an acoustic set which for me was a highlight of the evening musically. The set lasted about 1 1/2 hours, it may not have had the glam of Crue but musically (in my opinion) it was the best performance of the evening and the order of bands worked well. There was nothing notably missing from either bands set lists (save ‘Too Late For Love’) which made for a great night. Also there was a 25% chance of thunderstorms to which we all stayed ‘High ’N’ Dry’ minus a light shower during ‘Pour Some Sugar’. All I could think of was my old man saying, ‘What, are you made of sugar?’ BOA Stadium staff were great, they moved everyone quickly in and through security with zero nitpicking, kudos. The sound was very good for a stadium show, not too loud not too soft. In summary, this was more than just hair bands or glam bands reliving their glory days, this was the 80’s in Rock N Roll still alive and well in 2022!” by DAve (Concerts #670-673)

The best group on this awesome Stadium Tour. Most energetic, caring and appreciative of their fans and wanting to give everything they got and leaving it all on the stage. Have loved these guys since 88.

Another great show. Great use of limited time frame permitted for getting best use of song selection. Band was the sleeper hit of the four main acts.

Amazing surprise! Can't say e really liked them that much in the day, but they put on a GREAT show. Brett was the most engaging frond person all night and was clearly enjoying himself onstage and interacting w fans. CC was very impressive and I loved his tribute to EVH. Whole show was high energy and great fun. I didn't go there to see them but actually liked them the best.

Bret Micheal and the gang really brought IT last night. An amazing show from top to bottom. Time just flew by and the hits kept coming! Absolutely amazing! I will see another show!

Always nothing but a good time when at a Poison concert. Just wish Brett Would talk less and just play more music. Although he had a lot of great things to say about this city it really isn’t necessary for the cheap pops when you can just play the music everyone was there to hear. But as always GREAT SHOW!!!

it was really good other than the fact that the first 20 minutes or so of poison there were no monitors on and no one acted like they gave a shit but they finally fixed it. it was absolutely fantastic to see them all back together again and Cheap Trick rocked!

It was fucking Amazing!\,,/ Poison rocked the house and proved yet again that grunge could not kill the greatest hair band of all time! Pop evil was intense ! Great fucking I watch more than 100 shows a year and this was by far the best ever!\,,/

Great show, wish it wasn't cut short because of the rain. We figured being as the tickets said rain or shine we'd get to hear a full set.

Bret Michaels along with Bobby, Rikki & CC completely Rocked the house! The energy level was amazing. These boys still know how to deliver. There were a couple 1 second glitches with audio but the band didn’t skip a beat. I highly recommend and will continue to frequent their shows as much as possible. It’s a great escape and a Rockin’ Good Time for concert goers.

It has been a long time since I was at a concert that I knew all there songs. I felt like I was right where I belonged

They were fantastic. Seats were great. Venue beautiful. Long line to get in for parking can be improved. Biggest problem were these big old men shoving their way to the front of the stage and pushing people down. Ridiculous. Security didn’t do anything

Poison definitely was fun to watch but some tweaks to the way the songs were sung took away from the overall vibe. You should go but don't expect the same style as 1990.

Concert was AWESOME, it was the venue that SUCKED! Rogers place is a nice building but the prices for food and drinks is REDICULOUS, the line ups for washrooms is even more rediculous and the sound but wasn't right. Even getting in and out is just plain dumb! I HATE going to this facility!! The bands need to start going back to The Coliseum!
