On August 26th, Armoury Records (through Eagle Rock Entertainment) will release Seven Days Live by POISON - Bret Michaels, Bobby Dall, Rikki Rockett and Richie Kotzen - as captured at the height of their international success with a full show recorded at London’s Hammersmith Opollo in 1993.

Featuring classic tracks like 'Unskinny Bop', 'Talk Dirty To Me', 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn', 'Ain’t Nothin’ But A Good Time' and more, Seven Days Live is a rare live recording of the Richie Kotzen era of the band, shortly after he replaced original guitarist CC DeVille.

Poison became icons of glam in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s with a striking visual image and incredible success selling records upwards of 14 million in the US alone. With six Top 10 singles to their credit, they continue to tour to this day. The Pennsylvania band moved to Los Angeles in 1984 and developed a hardcore following along the Sunset Strip (VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash once auditioned as lead guitarist). With plenty of make-up and hairspray, they played their androgyny into major stardom, becoming the house band at popular West Hollywood hang-out The Troubadour. Open Up And Say…Ahh! (1988) made them into international celebrities.

Michaels has also become a solo star, successful in movies and television.

The band’s only other live album, Swallow This Live, was certified gold in 1991.

Tracklisting: 'Ride The Wind', 'Something To Believe In', 'Stand', 'Fallen Angel', 'Look What The Cat Dragged In', 'Until You Suffer Some (Fire & Ice)', 'Unskinny Bop', 'Talk Dirty To Me', 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn', 'Nothin’ But A Good Time'.
