Finally the recording of Poison's London Hammersmith Apollo show at April, 23rd 1993 - Native Tongue tour - sees the light of day on CD. Real Poison fans will know the video and the later released DVD, this time you get the whole show. Its a historical recording as it's the only one with guitarist Richie Kotzen and shows the American rockers presenting a decent set with some classics. The CD has 16 songs plus a drum solo of Rikki Rockett. They kick of the set with The Scream off Native Tongue. And they continue with a track from Native Tongue before deliver Ride The Wind off Flesh & Blood. Even as they were out promoting their latest album, they played quite a few songs from their previous recordings like Fallen Angel and Look What The Cat Dragged In. Live Poison sounded a bit rougher then on disc and this recording shows this very well. Bret Michaels' vocals are up front and you can understand every single word, but the backings sound a bit muddy and a should be more powerful. But that's criticism on a high level, coz the instruments are well leveled and crystal clear, so the only complain sound-wise is the backings. Poison was one of the bands touring their asses off and so they include short improvisations / jams and Michaels is communicating with the fans between the songs. If the first songs didn't get you then the boogie-based Your Mamma Don't Dance should move you! Simply good time rock! And it doesn't matter that this is a cover version, coz it fits well to Poison. After Body Talk they slow down a bit for Something To Believe In and they start Stand also acoustically, but later add some electric guitar. I'm a fan of drums, but I wouldn't have missed this drum solo... Not bad played and live it might looked good, but it's not working on disc, sorry. But towards the end of the set they present their hits! They finish their set with Nothin' But A Good Time and it seems that fans and band had a damn good time! |
