Hard rock legends Twisted Sister played the first of their reunion shows with Sebastian Bach on vocals yesterday, August 28th. That concert was held at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ and saw the group billed as ‘Bent Brother’. The revamped outfit delivered a 17-song set, which towards the end included a pair of covers of hits from Bach‘s past outfit, Skid Row.
While Twisted Sister vocalist Dee Snider originally intended to front this reunion run for the band, problems with arthritis led to him stepping down, giving his full blessing to Bach. Fan-filmed footage from yesterday’s set can be seen below, with the following songs having been played:
“What You Dont Know (Sure Can Hurt You)“
“You Cant Stop Rock ‘n’ Roll“
“We’re Gonna Make It“
“Shoot ‘Em Down“
“Tear It Loose“
“Destroyer“
“The Kids Are Back“
“Like A Knife In The Back“
“Ride To Live, Live To Ride“
“Under The Blade“
“The Beast“
“Burn In Hell“
