The Poison party continued as promised in Columbus,
Ohio this past Wednesday as
Bret Michaels not only made good on the promise of inviting his fans to another
show on the band, he also made sure everyone got the best seat possible by
breaking the rules once more and telling everyone (including those on the lawn)
to get as close to the stage as possible!
With a pre-show thunderstorm dropping the temperature
a bit, the bands performance was much more enjoyable than in Cuyahoga Falls, and
Bret, C.C., Bobby, and Rikki seemed to feed off the energy from the packed in
crowd surrounding the stage.
 Usually,
it seems ridiculous to give much mention to a band's hair or wardrobe, but since
Poison has always gone out of their way to be flamboyant entertainers, it seems
appropriate to mention the make-shift hat racks displaying Rockett’s countless
headpieces (almost one for each song), the big polar bear coat that Michael’s
used to make his entrance, and even the shiny metallic flamed classic flying-v
strung low around Mr. Deville.
Also, worthy of mention were the even more
explosive pyro effects that heated things up throughout the show, everything
from a rain-like waterfall to accompany “Every Rose Has it’s Thorn” to canons of
fire during most of the show, and not one but two confetti showers before the
band wrapped things up with "Rock n Roll All Nite," and "Nothin' But a Good
Time."
While the storm kept us from catching Faster
Pussycat, and an in depth interview with Winger’s
Rod Morgenstein lead to
missing Cinderella’s set, we were sure to pay close attention to Winger for this
review from Columbus and were there
bright and early to catch the entire concert including Pretty Boy Floyd’s
opening jaunt on the side-stage in Burgettstown, PA. Check out the full
report….and keep checking back right here at TPRS.com for more tour coverage
including more from Cinderella in Toledo.
