"BON JOVI's bass player Hugh McDonald filled in for Bobby Dall at last night's (Tuesday, August 25) POISON concert at USANA Amphitheatre in West Valley City, Utah after Dall reportedly became too ill to perform. According to the Deseret News, McDonald stepped up to the plate just 20 minutes before POISON was scheduled to go on stage. Rather than cancel their set, singer Bret Michaels said McDonald volunteered his services and took a crash course in learning several POISON songs.

The group's shortened setlist included favorites like "Fallen Angel", "Ride The Wind", "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and "Nothin' But A Good Time", but was missing "Talk Dirty To Me", the 1987 single which became POISON's first big hit song.

"There was no way we're ever canceling Salt Lake City," Michaels told the crowd with roaring approval, according to the Deseret News.

POISON is currently on tour with DEF LEPPARD and CHEAP TRICK."

The man is an absolute pro.

Message to Jon...make Hugh official!!

Yeah, before Poison do and then you're up sh*t creek without a Hugh-shaped paddle! :D

Wow, this guy is fascinating me.

I always considered him a solid bass player but I didn't know he's THAT good.

Go Hugh, go! :-)

Hugh is and has always been a superb session musician. Poison's music would hardly be too challenging.

I'm just wondering how he got to Salt Lake City - did they call him while he was there? Or did he fly in specially for the gig?

Huuuuuuuuuuge McDonald rocks

I believe he was already there. His wife is from Utah, isn't she? They may even be based there now.

And let me just reiterate MAKE HUEY ****ING OFFICIAL!8)
