RATT Concert in HD | Summer 2021 | WCF - Waukesha County Fair

Look below for the playlist. Very cool concert my wife and I attended this year! 33 years ago we saw Ratt in La Crosse while in college. BTW, happy belated 65th birthday to Stephen Pearcy, born July 3rd. This concert rocked, both figuratively and literally! I hope you enjoy. Even though I did not capture every song, I got most of them from the 2nd row and then right at the stage for the last two songs.

[@michaelyatsco1958]

Glad to read through some of the comments and see some positive stuff. So many negative comments on some of these sites about Ratt. What because Warren Demartini is not there. Stephen especially has a right to make a living playing Ratt's songs. They are his as much as anyone else in the band. Now with Bobby playing shows it's even more original. The 2 younger guitarists are solid especially Ziff and they add background vocals. More than anything else they want to be there and play for the fans. They seem like 2 dudes who worshipped Ratt as kids and are proud and so thankful to be in the band. Warren is entitled to be Rich and retired that's all good and these dudes deserve to keep Ratt's legacy going as long as Stephen chooses

[@MajorAir]

I like how you explained everything. So true! Welcome to the Ratt pack! 🤘

[@Crushin123]

I will openly admit, Ratt was never my 'go to' band - but i DID like SP's unique upper range and some of the catchy riffs. Having said that, some of the negative comments on his voice - ummm, the dude is mid 60's!!! Ya OBV haven't seen some of the other 80 bands play lately - KISS, Crew, GnR, SkidRow etc - I thought his voice (albeit not hitting every note) was pretty solid! and hey - no lip syncing - who knew?! Guys, this is a small blip in time that we all loved and treasured - so reliving it before our 'golden years' is truly just that ...gold. Enjoy life and the joys of our youth. These guys are aging at the same rate as us! Cheers

[@MajorAir]

Very nicely said. Thank you! Keep things in perspective. I wonder how old some of the "negative" people are who are leaving certain comments.

It was all about that quitar sound for me. Rat had one of the best guitar sound while battling big bands of the time. The list of those bands are some of the biggest bands from the biggest generation the 80s.

[@jerryrichards8172]

@@MajorAir they have some great metal bands to help them get threw. There music is much more heavy than what I had in the 80s no radio play. Unfortunately that's all pop rap and pop country. As for the metal it's broke up into different sub groups.. I listen to quite a bit of modern metal. Metal head to the end. When your young though you feel the music in a way that never happens latter in life. I will admit I did get goose bumps watching Iron maidens new video the other night.

For decades?..Shit I'm 63 and I get tired just walking around Walmart a couple of times....The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac played their pretty music up into their mid 60s but they always sounded great standing still and singing that kind of music..And they are some of my favorite bands...But Steve had some bad years with Ratt probably beginning with Robin passing away, and decades and decades of legal bullshit, and his heart maybe wasn't in it..For a singer that's important...He seemed to transform himself now at 65. Like a fuckin' magic trick...Like a blessing from God..Maybe now he got the right bunch of guys, who ever the hell they are, including Juan, and he can finally pull it together.....I wouldn't change a thing Steve...As much as the other guys, and Carlos were great and shit but...I wouldn't change a fucking thing...God bless you Steve finally.......Not a real real big Ratt or Hair Band fan, but I've been rooting for you for decades.....For the sake of Rock and Roll...I mean Ratt and Roll I guess....frankm63yroldwhitekid

@@ifdmedic7479 Oh the cassette days. Reliving the past. Walkmans were so cool back then. :) A lot of my cassettes "broke" because of how often I played them.

[@001kscott]

33 years ago. Wow been that long. I was at that concert in La Crosse too. Great Show from what i can remember. Drank alot those days.

[@MajorAir]

Hey! I think I saw you. Were you the guy in the mullet? I know I was. :)

[@LunaGuitars68]

He knows his limits now and stays within his range... sounds great!!

[@MajorAir]

I like how 80's he sounded right in the beginning of Round and Round. Check it out.

[@Famsoares74]

this is not a rock concert ! It's a master piece !!!!! F... amazing !!!!

[@CamboTriton]

Stephen still sounds really good! I seen them touring with Poison back in the day. Rock on Ratt!!!

[@MajorAir]

Ratt and Roll!! 🤘

[@Ali-yh9qi]

I think they actually opened for poison if my memory serves......what a miscarriage of justice. Ratt is so much better.

[@MajorAir]

@@Ali-yh9qi I hear ya'!

sounded better then I have heard in in the past. thanks for sharing

Absolutely!

[@edgarteran1186]

I enjoyed this video so much! Outstanding recording and posting. The band sounded so tight and spot on. I wanted to see the first songs and ended up seeing the whole show!

[@MajorAir]

I am glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for the kind words. Appreciated.

[@claussteiner5857]

Same here tonight

[@hotsaucejunkietim]

Thanks for posting this. I wanted to go to this concert but we went to see Queensryche instead (at the Washington County Fair) They sound great!!!!

[@MajorAir]

How was Queensryche? I would have gone to that if I had the opportunity!

[@Cinderrella]

Damn. I'm so jealous. I would love to see Queensryche and RATT again!!

[@MajorAir]

@@Cinderrella Me too, but how is the new singer for Queensryche?

[@randomtuberhandle]

I saw RATT live twice in the 80s. Was right up on the front rail the entire show back when they allowed that in arenas. Robin Crosby saw that I knew all the words to the songs and tried to get a pick to me a few times. Never got one as they just flew by or someone else snagged it, but he tried. Thanks Robin. RIP Robin. I have to say this performance is impressive as heck. The band is tight. They obviously put real effort into getting ready for the shows. They are actually tighter on some songs than they were in the 80s because, well, in the 80s, at times it became obvious that some of the band (actually not Robin) started the after-party a little too early. Slip of the lip is a little rough. But that's a hard one to reproduce live. Stephens vocals are pretty impressive in most songs. He knows the words. Sounds pretty good. A little rough on some songs. But darn good on the classics. I'll go see these guys again if they come through where I am. A good show. All the songs you loved if you grew up in the 80s a RATT fan. Loved hearing "Way cool jr" in 2nd song of set.

[@MajorAir]

WCJr. is my wife's favorite song of theirs. I love how "back the 80's" voice SP had for the last song of the set, Round and Round. Listen to his voice especially right in the beginning. It sounded like it did back in the mid 80's. Seriously. Rock on!

[@Easystreet208]

Thank you for this Upload. I felt like I was there! : ). They sounded great and the video and sound quality superb!

WOW!!!! Stephen still has it, sounds and looks as sexy at 66 as he did the first time I fell for him the first glimpse of Round and Round...waited and waited for them to come to Edmonton 😞

[@MajorAir]

@@ShellSiko The thumbs up is for your comments on SP. LOL But I am sad for you that he never showed for you in Edmonton. Hopefully some day. 🤘

[@kevintate768]

I have a friend that moved out to LA many years ago that is a great musician and was a part of some big names in the game. He went through a break up with his wife that hurt him badly so I went out to help in through it. We went over to Steve’s house for something and he was real down to earth. He actually offered a smoke, wink wink, but I couldn’t because I was going off to the service shortly and didn’t need to fail a test. Great great man.

[@MajorAir]

I have been hearing that a lot about Stephen P., that he is a down-to-earth guy. I think it would be cool to hang out with him for a little while just to chat. I wish I could've purchased a meet-n-greet, but it wasn't offered at this show. Maybe some day. Thanks for sharing.

Yes... he sang 'well' for after all these years... 'great' should be reserved for years past when he was a good deal younger & in better shape... but it's GREAT to see him still at it.... wish he'd put down the cigarettes.... can't take the rate at which we're losing our great ones

Man, I cant stand when people make comments about these guys voices after 40 yrs. Really??? No one is going to sound like they did in their prime,,but Stephen sounded great. As do many of these 80's rockers still performing today. Kudos to them. Most thought they wouldnt even be around much less on stage. LOL
