  Mötley Crüe Rocks Winnipeg Concert Review | (2)

  January 29, 2010 - After nearly 30 years of playing to sold-out crowds, Mötley Crüe knows a thing or two about what its audience wants to see and hear in a show. And between the ample pyrotechnics, stunning screams and rebellious lyrics, the band delivered it all to the 10,000 fans who packed into the MTS Centre in Winnipeg to witness a stop of the band’s Dead of Winter tour. With support from the Joe Perry Project and Airbourne, the bill was a rocker's paradise. Australian adrenaline rockers Airbourne emerged onto the stage with all the energy they could muster, effectively ...

  Jimi Jamison and Fergie Frederiksen Live Review Concert Review | (2)

  December 17, 2009 - Picture yourself listening to the radio in 1984. Survivor, with the soaring voice of Jimi Jamison, was climbing to the top of the charts with its monstrous hits like "The Search Is Over" and "High on You". This is where the crowd gathered at the Bayview Event Center in Excelsior, Minnesota this past Saturday night found themselves thanks to the eerily unchanged voice of Jamison. In fact, take out the cell phone cameras and add in a little hair (on second thought, make that a LOT of hair), and it might as well have been 1984. Making ...

  Buckcherry Concert Review – Minneapolis 2009 Concert Review | (2)

  November 7, 2009 - Opening for the hottest band in the world isn't exactly a task to be taken lightly, and Buckcherry knows it. Fortunately, the five-piece act emerged with a confident swagger and proceeded to deliver to the fans at the Target Center every bit of energy they could muster as the lead-in to KISS. Perhaps it was impossible for the group to not jump and spin in the air while creating their signature, delightfully dirty (yet still clean) sound. The recognizable radio hits and ballads alike had the younger segment of the crowd dancing and singing along with ...

  KISS Concert Review – Minneapolis 2009 Concert Review | (9)

  November 7, 2009 - There's really nothing changed about a KISS concert in three decades, but yet the band and its fans seem to reinvent themselves each night when showtime arrives. For some, Saturday night's concert was a chance to emulate legendary rock personas with makeup and costumes, and for others the opportunity to sing along to timeless rock classics was more than enough excitement. But for everyone, it was a shared and unforgettable evening of glorious rock and roll. One quick glance around the Target Center at 9:00pm revealed that the concert was sold out for all intents and purposes, ...

  The Guess Who Concert Review – Sturgis 2009 Concert Review | (0)

  August 8, 2009 - Those who survived a week in Sturgis that was beyond wild by all accounts were in for a real treat as The Guess Who took the stage to play the final show at the Buffalo Chip. Notables Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings have been out of the band for some time now, but founders Jim Kale and Garry Peterson have been carrying on the name with or without Bachman or Cummings for nearly 30 years. At times it has worked and at other times it hasn't, and it just so happens that today's version of the ...

  Buckcherry Concert Review – Sturgis 2009 Concert Review | (0)

  August 7, 2009 - After a freak hail storm left thousands of campers, bikes, and cars damaged, the fans in Sturgis at the Buffalo Chip who trampled through mud and water for a night of rock could be classified as true die-hards. It was not to be your ordinary Buckcherry concert, but then again very few of the concerts held during the week at the Buffalo Chip could have been classified as "ordinary". No more than a half hour into the band's set, vocalist Josh Todd had to leave the stage due to what was later described as a throat ...

  In Pictures: Saving Abel and Lita Ford Concert Review | (0)

  A fresh act from Mississippi, Saving Abel took the opening slot for Aerosmith at the Buffalo Chip Amphitheater on August 5 and rocked it to the extreme. Singer Jared Weeks was constantly running, jumping, and giving it all into the microphone; not even the 30 foot catwalk was able to provide the sort of audience connection he was after. The opening song "In God's Eyes" set the mood with a frenzy of sound and action on stage, and the energy remained intact even to the end of the hour long set. Still new to the touring scene, the band is ...

  Tesla and Hinder Concert Review – Sturgis 2009 Concert Review | (1)

  August 6, 2009 - On Thursday, the campers and rockers at the Buffalo Chip were in need of an evening filled with hard hitting rock to take their mind off the fall of Steven Tyler. Tesla and Hinder filled that void with ease, giving energetic performances that quickly set the week of concerts back on track. In the world of modern rock, Hinder is riding a wave of success in the studio as their albums gain popularity, and on the road as they are now in the midst of their fifth package tour in just two years. While the bands may ...

  Aerosmith Concert Review – Sturgis 2009 Concert Review | (6)

  August 5, 2009 - On a cool Wednesday night, two unique events combined to create perhaps the most memorable moments ever to occur during a Sturgis Rally. Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Aerosmith played to a crowd that was perhaps as large as 60,000, but before they could finish out what began as an adrenaline charged performance, lead singer Steven Tyler took a tough tumble off the stage thrust and it all ended too soon. Before the fall, every element that goes into the creation of a tremendous live concert had fallen into place. Rain soaked the large crowd an ...

  Billy Squier Concert Review – Sturgis 2009 Concert Review | (2)

  August 4, 2009 - When an artist like Billy Squier goes on tour for the first time in eight years with a catalog full of dynamic rock anthems, you know it's going to be big. And big it should be, because songs like "Everybody Wants You" are too good not to be played with big production on a big stage to a big crowd. The tour is called "Up All Night '09", and for its stop in Sturgis at the Buffalo Chip Amphitheater, a rare tour of a different sort in the form of a reunited Cheech & Chong opened ...
