I had the pleasure of seeing Steel Panther on Sunday as part of my bachelor weekend with 5 of my closest friends. This was my 7th or 8th time seeing SP, and it was without a doubt the best show they've put on yet. They played at Foxwoods Resort Casino with a proper sound system, and novelty of the act aside, it was the best rock concert I've seen in years. They were so freaking tight, and Michael Starr was absolutely slaying it on the vocals. The sound in that venue is one of the best in the state, and I really enjoyed what Spyder brought to the table as well (this was my first show since Lexxi left).
At one point a guy was getting dragged/chased out by security. Satchel called him an asshole for leaving and the guy managed to get back up to the stage. Michael actually handed the guy the mic for a few seconds before security got to him. He made it back into the show later on in the night, and he got bounced pretty good then too (got that on video). Prior to Girl From Oklahoma, they usually serenade a girl from the audience for a few minutes. They called out a pregnant girl that was about three weeks from popping and they treated the situation exactly as you'd expect them to
This is the second time in a row I've seen them and haven't heard Fat Girl (Thar She Blows). I wonder if they're taking it out of rotation for a while. Seems like an odd move because I always considered that their "must play" song, like Livin' on a Prayer, Piano Man, Free Falling, Born to Run, etc..
I'd highly recommend seeing them on this tour if you're so inclined. The setlist was excellent and they're really on their game right now. Spoiler of setlist below:
