Poison will hit more than 40 U.S. cities this summer on their Live, Raw & Uncut Summer Tour 2008 with Dokken and Sebastian Bach joining for most of the dates. The tour rolls out on July 3 in Salt Lake City, UT, and concludes Sept. 7 in Hutchinson, KS. Poison toured more than 50 U.S. cities on last summer’s “Poison’d! 2007” tour.
This June, Coming Home Media (Rush, Steve Miller Band, Godsmack), in conjunction with B Media, will be releasing “Poison: Live, Raw & Uncut” through KOCH Records. This DVD/CD collection — the band’s first in over a decade — includes all of the multi-platinum rockers’ greatest hits performed live, including “Nothin’ but a Good Time,” “Look What The Cat Dragged In” and “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” Captured in high defininiton at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in St. Louis, MO, “Live, Raw & Uncut” also features a bonus photo gallery and a behind-the-scenes segment that captures all of the mayhem and madness of life on the road.
Dokken hits the road in support of their first new album in four years, “Lightning Strikes Again,” due May 13 from Rhino. Dokken will be playing these songs live for the first time along with all their classic tracks including “Breaking The Chains,” “Alone Again,” “Just Got Lucky” and “Into The Fire.”
Bach, the original voice of Skid Row, recently released a solo album, “Angel Down.”
