The Southern Tier of New York and Northeast Pennsylvania have so many places to enjoy live music, both in local bars, events as well as larger venues like the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, The Forum, Tags in Big Flats, Bethel Woods in Bethel N.Y., the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, New York State Fair and Lakeview Amphitheater in Syracuse to name a few.

The summer concert season amps up our choices of great shows to enjoy. For example, Tag's Summer Stage in Big Flats brings in a lot of national acts from many different music genres.

One such show is Saturday (June 7th, 2025), is Glam Slam featuring Warrant, Dee Snider (from Twisted Sister), and Lita Ford.

This show will bring back the great sound of the 1980s, which is probably one of the most popular music decades right now.

I had the pleasure of speaking with the lead singer and guitarist of Warrant - Robert Mason, about the band, the tour, and what to expect at the show at Tags.

What impressed me was the energy and passion from the interview. That tells me that this band puts 100 percent of their profession and passion into the show. Not every band can lay claim to that. Some just kind of mail it in. Not Warrant.

Take a listen below, and hear what I mean.

 

LOOK: Things from the year you were born that don't exist anymore

The iconic (and at times silly) toys, technologies, and electronics have been usurped since their grand entrance, either by advances in technology or breakthroughs in common sense.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
