Double album on black vinyls with printed innersleeve. Limited 350 copies
Seven Days Live captures Poison (Bret Michaels, Bobby Dall, Rikki Rockett and Richie Kotzen) at the height of their international success with a full show recorded at Londons Hammersmith Apollo on April, 23, 1993, among a wildly enthusiastic sold-out crowd, it’s easy to forget that outside the hall, most of the audience that so loved Poison only a few years before, were now listening to Nirvana and Pearl Jam. It’s a shame that Poison never really survived grunge and has now been reduced to being a nostalgia act, because they deserve better. With “Native Tongue,” the band didn’t jump on any bandwagon or rehash a tired formula. With “Native Tongue” the band made an earnest attempt to grow as artists and made an album that deserved to be heard. It’s a shame that the general public of 1993 wasn’t mature enough to like both Poison and Nirvana and felt they had to abandon one and embrace another. But for a few hours within a hall, several thousand fans didn’t care if Poison was cool or not. The actual taping of the show is superb. Shot in mostly color, with some black and white footage, “documentary style,” the show is professionally shot and looks and sounds great. Charismatic frontman Brett Michaels has the audience by the palm of his hand, and along with the rest of the band, gives 100 percent. Featuring classic tracks like Unskinny Bop, Talk Dirty To Me, Every Rose Has It’s Thorn, Nothin’ But A Good Time and more, the band demonstrates what 10 years of hard work can do.
