After seeing TS at the civic center in Poughkeepsie 4 times in late '81, summer '82, 12/82, and 7/83, tonight felt like coming full circle for me. I've seen quite a few shows at the civic center in the last 21 years, but I always considered the civic center to be Twisted Sister's venue, and the other bands that played there were just borrowing it from TS. Tonights performance reinforced to me exactly why I feel that way. Twisted Sister and the mid-hudson civic center is like steak and a baked potato, strawberries and whipped cream, a DVD and a 5.1 surround sound home theater system, you get the point. They just go together perfectly. Thank you Twisted Sister for last nights show, and I hope the 5 of you enjoyed it as much as I did.
