Sebastian Bach launched his What Do I Got to Lose? North American tour on Friday at Jefferson, Louisiana’s Southport Music Hall.
Bach’s set consisted of mostly Skid Row songs, plus two selections from his brand new solo album, Child Within the Man, released earlier in the day: “What Do I Got to Lose?” and “Everybody Bleeds.”
You can see the full set list and video from the performance below.
Child Within the Man is Bach’s first solo LP since 2014’s Give ‘Em Hell. The album was preceded by three singles: “What Do I Got to Lose?” (from which his current trek derives its name), “Everybody Bleeds” and “(Hold On) To the Dream.”
Bach’s What Do I Got to Lose? Tour runs through June 29 in San Diego. The singer recently completed a handful of South American dates as well, including a few in support of Mr. Big.
Sebastian Bach Says ‘Tape Bands’ Will Never Beat ‘Real Musicians’
Bach’s catalog presents an immense challenge for any vocalist, but the singer refuses to use backing tracks when he hits the stage.
“I don’t see a lot of bands coming up that are going to replace [the classic rock stars],” Bach told UCR in 2021, “because too many of them rely on tapes, and that’s not gonna last the test of time. There’s gonna be a time when those tape bands are gonna have to do it for real, and people are gonna go, ‘This is a fucking joke.’ And I just know that real musicians hit your heart way more hard than guys miming to a tape.”
