I would try it, When I was in Memphis a few years ago I ate all kinds of strange chit on that Beale St. Liked it all. I was also very sedated.
I had a giant bird leg that looked like it was from the Flintstones.

Let me say that it was a pleasure to meet and hang out with Momshell and Sensible Shoes at Dubliners before the show. Two very cool Roth Army ladies! And how about a Roth Army "Hell yeah!" to Momshell's way-cool husband. Cool, laid back cat that had no problem with weird internet dudes taking pictures with his wife and her tattoo...
Good taking with you all!Maybe this is what a heroine addict feels like after getting a long awaited fix, shooting up in the corner of some abandoned building and just not giving a fuck about what the rest of the world thinks...TATTOO"Comment

Van Halen Triumphant With David Lee Roth At Mohegan Sun Show
by ERIC R. DANTON on MARCH 4, 2012 · 4 COMMENTS
In a different era, David Lee Roth would have been selling patent medicines off the back of a wagon. He’s a born showman, and he’s finally made his way back to his rightful place in the show he was born to front: Van Halen.
Diamond Dave and the boys swept into Mohegan Sun Arena Saturday night with the manic energy of a two-hour lightning storm, flickering, flashing and booming their way through a generous allotment of old favorites, mixing in a handful new material from “A Different Kind of Truth” — Roth’s first album with Van Halen since “1984″ 28 years ago. (See more photos from the concert here.)
For a band whose history is as fraught as Van Halen’s, the musicians couldn’t have looked happier on stage. Roth served as the fast-talking master of ceremonies, Eddie Van Halen beamed as his hands played blinding runs up and down the neck of his guitar and his son, bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, looked at once entertained and bemused by crazy ol’ Uncle Dave’s strutting and sliding around the stage.
Roth’s voice isn’t as limber as it once was, and there were times when it seemed like it settled on a pitch largely at random. He can still do the leg kicks, though, and he was clearly in his element as the band (also including Alex Van Halen on drums) blew through “Runnin’ With the Devil” and “Everybody Wants Some!!,” which featured one of many dazzling solos from Eddie Van Halen.
He balanced his guitar tone perfectly between squelchy chords and squealing leads, shifting from one to the other so smoothly it looked (but never sounded) effortless. Eddie and brother Alex locked in on a full-throttle version of Roy Orbison’s “Oh Pretty Woman,” and after Alex Van Halen laid out a drum solo, they jumped right into the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me.”
Even the new songs fit right in, with Roth mugging on “Tattoo” and offering conversational asides between verses on “The Trouble With Never.” The applause was bigger, though, for “Dance the Night Away,” with Eddie and Wolfgang singing harmonies behind Roth; and “Hot for Teacher,” as Alex Van Halen’s drums rumbled like a souped-up engine revved to the red line.
As if things weren’t lively enough already, Van Halen let it all loose as the band built to a grand finale. After Roth did a few near-splits on “Beautiful Girls,” the band zoomed through the virtuosic workout “Ice Cream Man” like a party of 5-year-olds with sugar highs. Next, Eddie let fly the arcing riff to “Panama,” which turned into a solo turn of his own, incorporating parts of his “Eruption” showcase and more. The rest of the band rejoined him to end the regular set with “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love,” then, after a round of hugs, closed the show with “Jump,” as Roth waved a giant checkered flag through a downpour from confetti cannons.Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

Thanks PA. Great hangin with you too. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer. Sorry to have missed Shoes...maybe next time?! Thanks for the shot out to my hubby too- that was nothing for my poor guy- he's had to watch and hear me scream for Dave since he's known me, not to mention the signed pic of Dave in chaps hanging next to my side of the bed!!! I'm a lucky girl!! After meeting PA I think he also realized we are more normal than he imagined. Said he might even sign on soon! Hope to meet up again one of these days!Stay Frosty!
