On Saturday night, the iconic duo of Ratt‘s Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini reunited for an electrifying performance, marking their first collaboration in seven years. They captivated the audience with a dynamic set featuring 16 of the most beloved tracks from their legendary band. The atmosphere was charged with nostalgia as fans enjoyed the rich history and sound that has defined the hair metal genre.
Below, you can explore the complete set list along with stunning photographs and engaging fan-shot videos from this unforgettable show. The excitement of their reunion was palpable, with every song resonating with the audience, reminding them of the powerful legacy of their music.
The talented duo was supported by the skilled drummer Blas Elias, former Quiet Riot and Ratt guitarist Carlos Cavazo, and bassist Matt Thorne. “This is the first time Warren and I have played in years, man, it feels good,” Pearcy exclaimed towards the end of the concert. He also expressed their plans to collaborate on new music, hinting at an exciting future for fans of the band.
Pearcy’s sentiment about their reunion was clear: “It’s not about Ratt. It’s about the legacy of our music, and who better to deliver it?” He elaborated to Eddie Trunk in January about their decision to not use the Ratt name. “We don’t have all the proper original elements, which would include Robbin Crosby, our late guitarist. So we just decided, no, this is great, this is perfect. We don’t want to hit a brick wall. We want this nice and smooth,” he concluded, emphasizing their commitment to honoring their musical heritage.
