For what it's worth, here's the first review I've found of the Nashville show and it sounds to me like Sebastian showed up both Poison and Dokken, as was to be expected 
It's not much of a review and it's from Metal Sludge but it gives a good idea of things to come I think. Here it is ----
All I can say is last night was fucking LOUD. I'm kinda glad they are playing shows like this at the Arena here now instead of the outdoor venue they used to.
Bach opened the show and played mostly Angel Down material. He did play 18 n Life , I Remember you , Youth gone Wild and Monkey Business and Slave to the Grind though and about 5-6 new songs. All in all this being my first time to see Bach he delivered the goods and sounded great I loved that he could still hit the higher notes. His band sounded good too. Only mishap was the soundman fucked up the mics and Bach slammed two into the stage but after that the show went pretty well. Also Bach had some guy I'm assuming was from that Going Country song come out during Monkey Business and Youth Gone wild and sing with them which I didn't mind.
Dokken came on next and I was pretty impressed they were a lot better than when I saw them last time with Poison a few years ago. Don may not be able to hit the high notes anymore but he still sang pretty well and Jon Levin was dead on with his playing if I didn't know better I'd have thought it was Lynch. They played nothing off the Lightning Strikes Again album but played a pretty good set of old material which I was fine with. Don seemed to be in a very good mood and came off really cool.
Poison took forever and a day to set their stage up which made no sense to me since Dokken basically set their drumset up and came out and rocked the fuck out. At any rate Poison did their usual they put on a good show and the crowd was really into it. They only played 2 cover songs. What I like about you and Mama don't dance. I thought it was funny however Bret claiming they hadn't played Cry Tough and a couple other tunes in years and put them back in the set for us. Basically it was your usual Poison setlist which I guess if thats all they wanna play is fine although I'd like to hear at least 1-2 obscure songs and have them drop those cover songs.
I had a good time though so thats all I really care about and all 3 bands put on a good show so money well spent.
My only grip about the night was T-shirt prices for regualr short sleeves were $40 which I decided to just pass up.
And here's the YouTube posting of half of 'Youth" with Cowboy Troy rocking out to it as only a cowboy could. Yee-ha!!
