COLLECTIVE SOUL Rock & Roll Express Tour Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville, Connecticut August 16, 2018 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc The Rock & Roll Express Tour Featuring Collective Soul and 3 Doors Down was full steam ahead at the Mohegan Sun Casino Arena. Soul Asylum had also been on this tour, but was not in the package for that night. This arrangement of bands together proved to be a perfect mix featuring bands of the mid 90’s era through the early 2000’s, who have been making great music outside of the post-grunge era. The night kicked off with Collective Soul taking the stage withRead More →

AUTOGRAPH | VIXEN | SLAUGHTER ROCK OF THE 80’s Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville, Connecticut October 6, 2017 There is nothing like a night at the Casino, and unlike the night before at Hampton Beach Casino in New Hampshire, a Casino with slot machines. This was one of those rare occasions that I actually was given free tickets to a show I actually wanted to go to and get to take the wife with me. I thought what the heck, why not put in to shoot this one, I was going to be there anyways. Autograph was the first band to hit the stage. I haveRead More →

MR. BIG Mohegan Sun Casino – Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut June 9, 2017 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc Was it 1992 again? No, it was 2017, but it sure felt like it was and MR.

VIXEN Mohegan Sun Casino Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut April 27, 2017 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc It had been a long time since I’ve seen Vixen live. The year was 1989 when I first saw Vixen when they opened up for Ozzy along with White Lion at the Centrum (now DCU Center) in Worcester, Massachusetts. Talk about a memorable show with that line-up. Back in the days when a ticket for a show like that went for around $20. Those were the days. Vixen has still remained a constant in my regular musical playlist to this day. Vixen was out on the road again and thisRead More →

POISON Mohegan Sun Casino Arena Uncasville, Connecticut April 13, 2017 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc It was nothing but a good time at Mohegan Sun Arena on April 12th when Poison took the stage for their third show as part of the 2017 reunion tour, along with Tesla and Def Leppard.

Blue Oyster Cult January 9, 2017 The Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun Casino Uncasville CT It is January, I shouldn’t be surprised that it was cold and snowing to beat all hell on Saturday. I shouldn’t be surprised that there were winter storm warnings and accidents on barely plowed roads heading down towards Southeast Connecticut. I am surprised that I made it there in one piece and so did a bunch of other people, most importantly, Eric Bloom, Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser, Richie Castellano, Kasim Sultan and Jules Radino, who are more commonly known as Blue Oyster Cult. The crowd was definitely there for aRead More →

LYNCH MOB November 20, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut At the last minute, I decided to tag along with my brother in law to Mohegan Sun Casino. He was headed there for the triple status points that day, but I was headed there to catch a rock show in the Wolf Den. Lynch Mob is the creation of former Dokken guitarist, George Lynch. One of the best guitarists to come out of my favorite era of music, the 80’s. Along with Oni Logan on vocals, Sean McNabb on Bass and Jimmy D’Anda on drums, he was bringing the rock to the Wolf Den.Read More →
