Saw Stephen Pearcy live near Chicago 10/19/11! Video included!

It was in Bolingbrook, IL which is less than an hour from Chicago. It's considered a suburb of Chicago.

It's really cool how Pearcy talks to the crowd after You Think You're Tough. You Think You're Tough is one of those songs that actually sounds better live than the studio version and that's a rarity!

Pearcy put on a absolutely FANTASTIC show! Once these singers are no more then this kind of music is gone FOREVER! No one up and coming to replace these guys so enjoy them while you can! Look at Jani Lane gone and Kevin Dubrow gone. Warrant and Quiet Riot both sound like crap without them and they are not the same and never will be!

He started with You're In Love and then

Lack of Communication Lay It Down I'm Insane (Surprise but it sounded great) Back For More Slip of the Lip Body Talk Way Cool Jr. (Sounds MEGA KICK ASS live!) Lovin' You's a Dirty Job You Think You're Tough You Got It Breakin the Law (Judas Priest song) Round and Round

Somewhat surprised he played a Priest song and I was very surprised he didn't play anything from Infestation. Does anyone know why he wouldn't??

Was that his full set? I thought he was including some Arcade & solo stuff too. (Not that I mind lots of RATT!) He tweeted to me that "Dancin' with the Angels" from Arcade would be in the set. LOVE that song!

No, he never played that. The only not RATT song he played was the Judas Priest cover. Post the full set of songs he played at the concert you went to.

Pearcy actually slapped my hand. it was fucking awesome. Plus talked to him for a few after the show and got him to sign my hat. I was all wasted and just walked up to him infront of a line of people. Like you said tho it was a great show they sounded amazing

That's f*ckin awesome buddy! Pearcy is just amazing! He sounds just like he did in 1985! I actually came from St.Louis and I'm glad he came to near Chicago otherwise I would've had to go to Ohio.

The only question I wondered was why he didn't play anything from Infestation but he tweeted me and told me he's saving that for RATT. He told me basically the same thing at the meet and greet but it was so loud I got verification on Twitter.

I hope he adds more Metal In America shows soon since with all of RATT's stupid internal squabbling who knows when the hell they'll tour again. Pearcy is worth it no matter how far you travel!
