Poison Middletown NY August 2 1989 Full Concert

[@anthonylove821]

It’s amazing when you see how much fun concerts and shows we’re back in the 80s. I’m so lucky to have seen some of the greatest bands back in the day. So depressing when you see concerts and everyone seems so disconnected and no energy or electricity in the crowds. Kids today have no idea what a fun time at a concert is like. I am sure many would agree.

[@bb-gc2tx]

because it was special to see them it was only time got to see these bands besides a 4 minute video on mtv if you were lucky to catch it no internet twitter facebook you tube to watch clips of thee bands

[@javtimestwo]

Believe it, if phones existed back in the 80's the kids would have had those phones. Just look at the footage here. Someone snuck in a video camera to record the show. Which was very difficult to do, right? So yeah, I disagree with your synopsis 100%

[@paulspencer6477]

With real lighters instead of phone flashlights

[@williamstephens-ew4le]

Thank God we didn’t have these phones back then…and tickets was $20 and we enjoyed ourselves

[@matt_man0005]

Back when it was GREAT to go to a Rock Show. So much fun back in the day and wish my kids could experience what it was like back then.

[@mikechisari5968]

Nice post!! When Rock & Roll was ROCK & ROLL!! Good memories!!

[@skold3878]

Just a time that will never come again so I thank God I was around back then. It was a great day n age. These are real musos.

[@Bazook42]

Great video brings back great memories from when I seen them in Pittsburgh on this tour. One hell of a concert. Thanks for posting this. It felt like I was there.

[@ryansvloggingit5492]

[@jayedlund1]

My first ever concert, poison...hartford ct...12 years old. Couldn't believe all of the beautiful chicks that night

[@stevengallant6363]

haha me too! my mother took me to see Poison open for RATT on my 12th birthday @ The Portland County Civic Center, Portland Maine

[@dixierae6063]

@@stevengallant6363 Your Mom was cool AF. My Son and I saw Ozzy together in 2004 at the Vancouver Colosseum. What a trip. Ozzy didn't have a lot of stamina but his voice was strong as ever.

[@cjdickey1650]

Back when we had actual 🎸 and 🥁 heros + a fun loving charismatic vocalist.

[@alexmay5567]

When the curtain opens and that smell of dry ice and weed hits you in the face....ahhhhh!

[@Glennmetcalfe]

Very few Poison live shows....Thanks

[@jadedcynical7739]

Great post!! CC's on fire!

[@ryant3600]

That's not fire.. That's Good ol' Columbian Cocain.. But I do love his playing on "back to the rockin' horse" and "Look but don't touch".. two songs that should be in their normal setlist..

[@gymrat1190]

Couple of bumps!

[@yabo2424]

Totally agree he was killer !

[@enzosierradorival9064]

POISON FOREVER!!

[@js.3157]

1:23:14 was really cute. So glad they’re still together

[@marke89]

Awesome concert. I have this on double dvd and it states it's in Middletown on the 2nd at orange county fairgrounds. Brett certainly owns that stage.

[@guilhermetonini7456]

Cc deville endiabrado, rikki tocando muita bateria, Breat Michaels incrível no palco... o melhor época da minha vida.. música para ser feliz!

[@keno4755]

[@gonzalosotomunoz8951]

Increíble el carisma d estos 4 muchachos,cc de ville era el alma de POISON, increíble como se come el escenario en your mama don't dance...poison es y fue diversion rock and roll y mujeres

[@standarddef8769]

No bandana Bret!

[@esmintexas]

That looked like David Lee Roth; I thought it was and was like WTF?

[@marcf869]

He started wearing the Bandana a few weeks later and it never came off again! You can see in this video, his hairline was starting to recede like David Lee Roth, so he went for the cover up! I had the same issues as a long haired singer that relied on looks in the early 90's and I went to the bandana to lol!

[@slystonedtuna]

@1:23:30

[@tonywelsh3709]

I know-crazy ;)

[@samjacme3141]

Ahhh the days when Bret didn't have to wear a "Hee-Haw" hat to rock the crowd

[@colleen12100]

Yea seems every interview he gives nowadays he wears a heehaw hat

[@cruehead355]

always thought Poison's best years were 1988-89

[@cjdickey1650]

99-05

[@andreasdistler2799]

1988-1991 open up and fleshn'

[@ourheartscondemnyou]

The backing tracks on those choruses..

[@anthonymetcalf5343]

great video.. fuckyeah

[@buffdaddy2032]

It was a blast back then when bands were hungry .

[@joshuaspop8865]

Those were the days. Everyone wasn’t so damn serious and hateful (maybe it was). But I saw that tour. Poison one night and the Scorpians the next night… same venue.

[@deadpan80]

1:35 whoa! wait a minute - Brett Michaels actually has a forehead? Was this before the accident?

[@ericcallahan5131]

Thought it was June not August of 89.

[@mamany6524]

Boy he was good.

[@alleysheay]

I was one of the girls on shoulders that night. Lol

[@cjdickey1650]

You couldn't have been anymore than a year old 😂

[@shark3939]

I was one of the girls on my knees that night. Heehee .. lol

[@distorcio]

cc d ville definitivamente no hay otro guitarrista con tanto carisma y sentido de la diversion que el 1:10:45 , es increible la entrega y cercania q tiene con todo el mundo,cercania y entretencion que se perdio por completo en la epoca de poison con ritchie kotzen,y q se recupero en cierta medida con blues saraceno, en la gira sudamericana del tour native tongue por sudamerica🇨🇱🇦🇷🇻🇪🇲🇽🇧🇷. para desgracia de australia,,europa ,japon y sudamerica,seguiremos esperando ,quizas nunca,que poison salgan de gira fuera de eeuu y canada,y entiendan que hay millones de fans esperando volver a verlos tocar

[@derhampaul2182]

Good love

[@retroaerosmith5983]

I would have killed to have seen Poison back in the day...but watching ten minute drum or 15 min guitar solos spots would have annoyed and bored me stupid.

[@stevengallant6363]

I noticed a lot of classic bands have long instrumentals because the lead singer can no longer sing

[@cassandraduran9056]

I was 17 girl in 1989

[@lorettasearcy1471]

They would have had fun with you.

[@margiedelgado5707]

PAPASITO

[@robertdefex3439]

Cc proving malmsteen and Eddie van Halen ain't shit he took a bumb and destroyed those acustic guitar at a cosmic untouchable youthful cocaine level

[@guitarfreak9177]

[@lucidium2000]

[@briantarkington4785]

🤘

[@enzosixx123]

where is the set??

[@waynemichael5641]

I live in Middletown NY. We don't have concert venues. Where in Middletown was this concert held?

[@cantbetriggered6556]

I'm from the area too.. they used to have concerts at the fairgrounds... all the big bands played there. Guns n Roses, Aerosmith all of em

[@TGMATCHIM]

I ordered this from the back of a rock mag circa '89, '90. I seem to remember the city as being Glendale Falls or some city with “glen” and “falls”in it. It was in NY too.

[@joedul7955]

Back in the day Middletown fairgrounds WAS the SHIT! all the best concerts seen there in my youth. I was even at this show. Hold on to your fuckin hats, tickets where no more than $18.00 Every weekend was a new band. Between 85 and early 90's all the great rock shows I seen was either NJ meadowlands or Middletown NY.

[@ryanfogarty5167]

Glens falls civic center 1/2 hour north of albany

[@gfgranja]

There is a great video on YT of GNR playin' in Middletown 1988, at the fairgrounds, killer show!
