At the height of their popularity,Poison were one of the most successful bands in the world and have to date sold over 30 million albums worldwide.This superb live performance captured at London's Hammersmith Apollo in 1993 was filmed during their Native Tongue global tour and features hits from that album as well as classic tracks from the band's history including Unskinny Bop,Stand,Until You Suffer Some(Fire And Ice)and the power ballad anthem,Every Rose Has Its Thorn.Including the bonus track Your Mamma Don't Dance set to previously unseen raw tour footage,this DVD is an unapologetic dose of 80s glam rock at its finest.For a decade between the mid-80s and 90s,Poison were one of the biggest rock groups in the world,scoring Top 40 hits and selling over 30 million albums.Icons of the MTV generation,their music and stage persona ensured a loyal following of adoring fans as Bret Michaels and Co poured out of televisions and radios around the globe.Formed in 1983 in Pennsylvania,it wasn't until they moved to LA a year later that Poison(previously called Paris)began to make their mark.Comprised of charismatic frontman Bret Michaels(vocals),guitarist Matt Smith(who was replaced by C.C.
