This was my 4th time seeing Bret Michaels preform (twice with Poison and twice on his own) and this tour was far below his previous.
The show was only 1 hour 15 minutes long. if he was an opening act, this would be okay but as the main act, not good enough.
He played way too many cover songs (4 through the show). He has an abundance of his own material, there is no reason to play cover songs. People paid to see him and hear his music, If we wanted a cover band, we could see that at any bar. The bass guitarist is a former member of Cinderella, I would have been ok with a Cinderella song but the songs were from others.
The encore was only 1 song. The standard format I have seen at most shows is to do at least 3 songs in the encore. In this case there was only 1, and it was a cover song (I Wanna Rock And Roll All Night by Kiss). I would think an artist would want to finish a show with one of their hits, have the audience excited about their music. Instead, we left with thoughts of Kiss, not Bret Michaels
