Poison Live in Greensboro, NC By Tokemaster General, ContributorThursday, August
14, 2003 @ 3:07 PM Poison, Vince Neil and Skid Row Live at the Greensboro
Coliseum in Greensboro, NC on August 1st, 2003REVIEW BY: Mo Saw the show last
night. Probably 3,500 in attendance, but everyone was there for a good time.Skid
Row was the best that I've ever seen them. On the KISS tour a few years back,
the new singer was still learning his way. Not now -- he commands attention and
the crowd responded. It was nice for him to come into the crowd to sing, and he
made sure to shake any kid's hands that were there. The new songs sounded good.
New album might be one to check out. Vince Neil was better that I anticipated.
Most reviews recently have not been kind, but he rocked, mostly after the first
two or three songs (was having trouble with his monitors). Actually sang most of
lyrics and never stopped moving. Yes, he has put on a few pounds, but he still
ran around like 10 years ago. Poison -- what
can I say? I actually am/was not a fan, but they were thoroughly impressive. It
is not hard to understand why they are a big touring band these days. I doubt
many of the old hair bands take it as seriously as they do, or sound as good as
they do. Each member worked the crowd and were enjoying themselves. Rockett is a
much better drummer than I expected, and they are much better live than on CD.
I'd go again, for sure. One highlight was a guy that got on stage, ran to each
member for a "high five" while security was chasing him. He escaped with a
beautiful stage dive. CC did his guitar solo next, and before he began thanked
the guy for stealing the show. He said, "No matter what I do up here, I can't
beat what that guy did!" Nice to see them close with "Rock 'N Roll All Night."
All in all the best $29.50 I've spent on a concert in years.
