Never one to shy away from a challenge Idol assembled his troops and descended upon the iconic landmark to shoot a live concert film with long-time guitar slinger Steve Stevens also featuring guest appearance from Generation Sex bandmate and Sex Pistol Steve Jones. To be fair it’s a pretty impressive setting for what was billed as a spectacular special event.

Billy Idol, makes history by playing the first-ever concert in front of the world-famous Hoover Dam. Kicking off his sell-out 2023 North American spring and summer tour, the once-in-a-lifetime performance, which illuminated the surrounding Black Canyon of the Colorado River and the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, all the platinum-selling hits are present and correct, including ‘Dancing with Myself’, ‘Eyes Without a Face’, ‘Rebel Yell’ and ‘White Wedding’.

To be fair Idol looks in great shape and his performance is one of a confident frontman in what can only be described as an insane location for a concert it’s so over the top it is pure Idol to be fair. With over 40 million album sales and numerous platinum albums worldwide, it’s easy to forget how big an impact Idol has had on Rock music in a crowded industry, This mad performance also includes special guest slots from the Kills’ Alison Mosshart, No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal as well as Steve Jones. there are also a slew of bonus features bolstering this DVD such as a Q and A with both Stevens and Idol and a trio of acoustic tracks that to be fair sound fantastic. A must for fans and curious music fans alike. Play on Billy you’ve still got it. Oh and one last observation I have to say that Idol is like the peter pan of punk and Steve Stevens has a fantastic head of hair well done guys.
