Sebastian Bach performed at Phase 2 in Lynchburg, Virginia on September 27 as part of his tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of SKID ROW's self-titled debut album. Bach opened the 15-song set with "Tornado" — the LP's final track — and "Forever" before the singer performed the rest of "Skid Row" in order. As an encore, Sebastian played three songs from SKID ROW's 1991 album "Slave To The Grind": the title track, "In A Darkened Room" and "Monkey Business". Setlist: 01. Tornado 02. Forever 03. Big Guns 04. Sweet Little Sister 05. Can't Stand The Heartache 06. Piece Of Me 07. 18 And Life 08. Rattlesnake Shake 09. Youth Gone Wild 10. Here I Am 11. Makin' A Mess 12. I Remember You 13. Midnight Encore: 14. Slave To The Grind 15. In A Darkened Room 16. Monkey Business Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below (courtesy of YouTube user "Dennis Justus").

"This is SKID ROW, and this is what I do." Drummer Rob Affuso — who left SKID ROW in 1998 and claims to be "the only former member that keeps in contact with all former SKID ROW bandmates and is still good friends with them all" — subsequently joined Bach on September 25 at Sony Hall in New York City to play the band's classic song "Makin' A Mess". Asked by Rolling Stone if he thinks his former bandmates are offended that he put his invitation out there publicly, Bach said: "No. I think it's an ego thing. They don't like when I get attention, and they don't get attention. It's always been like that.
