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. BIG was Alive and Kickin’ again, like a red hot firecracker, ready to light the fuse that night in Uncasville, Connecticut.

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. It was clear that there the crowd was loaded with Poison fans to watch this long awaited reunion. Fans had donned their Poison concert shirts, new ones and the worn and faded ones from concerts of years past. 2017 should be noted as the year that Poison reunited with the all original lineRead More →

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 →

QUEENSRYCHE Mohegan Sun Casino – Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut August 12, 2016 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc If you were at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut on August 12th, you were in the presence of another extrodinary Queensryche performance. There is a reason why Queensryche is still out there going strong… Simply put, they continue to sound amazing throughout the years.

Mohegan Sun guests that evening hit the jackpotRead More →

TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION August 4, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut I have to say, I was surprised to find out Texas Hippie Coalition were playing the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. Not that I should have been considering they have had the likes of Killswitch Engage, Ace Frehley, Hellyeah and not to mention Buckcherry play there in the past. I have been lucky enough to see THC a number of times over the last couple of years here in Connecticut and was excited to hear some Red Dirt Metal in the Nutmeg state once again. Alright you’re saying to yourself “Red Dirt Metal?”Read More →

AUTOGRAPH March 26, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, CT Back in 1984, I was a young buck of 16. My tastes in music just starting to harden in my head. I didn’t have much back then, was living in the middle of nowhere Southern Illinois where the cable company didn’t even have Mtv yet. I did have a radio though and when I could, the radio station of choice was a long way off in St. Louis, a rock station with the call letters of KSHE. That is when I first heard of a band called Autograph, and just like so many other kidsRead More →
