Let's hope this version of Dave returns for the 2013 Japan/Australia Tour

[TJMKID]

Gives me chills just watching it.


-- NO headset

-- NO dance mat

-- NO blower rants


Just a fuckin' bad ass mid-50's Dave singing his heart out --- bare chest glistening with sweat and making the MILFs moist betwixt the thighs!

[sadaist]

Dude, spot on. The 2007 tour in San Diego DTNA was my fav tune of the night. Dave was beyond perfect. Best part is when he does his schtick in the middle & the crowd all sings DANCE DANCE DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY!!

I'd be lying if I said I didn't well up when I was at the show.

All we can hope for is that EVH and AVH have a sit-down with Dave before the tour starts and tell him to get back to that '08 form --- the higher register shit can not rear it's ugly head again.

Hopefully, the taped on dance floor will be a relic of the 2012 tour and not make an encore appearance, either.

[fraroc]

Well, I'm sure all the martial arts lessons in Japan will do him some good.

Dave was brilliant on the 07-08 tour. He had his moments good and bad on the 2012 tour but he was incredible at MSG...especially on 3/1.

The opening of the 3/1 MSG show was one of the true highlights of last year --- when EVH launches the intro for "Unchained" that whole place was jizzin'

[Zing!]

DLR carried em that tour, no doubt. Glad I got to see Dave that go- round. Wish he could find that mojo again though - it was missing in 2012.

[Matt White]

I hope he's ALIVE for another tour....

don't give a fuck what he looks like...........

don't give a fuck aboot no "FUCKING HEADSET"..............

Aslong as he's there......

WTF?!?

[steve]

Amen!
Dave has attempted to "expand" his range twice in his career now with forced excursions into the head voice - once in 94 and now again in 2012 - with disastrous results for his performance and damaging results for his vocal chords during the tour. I can see the reasoning behind it in DLR's opinion - let's build the chords, have an increased vocal range etc. This technique may be fun for in the studio time when you have an hour between songs to rest, but for live shows it just results in him trying to force out too many high notes, wear out the pipes, and stress his voice to the point of DAMAGE - you can hear it in his voice when he SPOKE post tour.

DLR is a BARITONE and I agree the brothers need to shake sense into him to sing in chest voice in baritone range during live shows. Going into the head voice should be reserved for the end of a show for certain notes only otherwise his voice will not last an entire show let alone a whole tour.

In other words, yeah, what he did in 2008!

[DONNIEP]

No, bring back the 2002 Dave! Watch a show from that tour and he's having a hell of a good time.

making the MILFs moist betwixt the thighs!

Yup...Dave is still hot and definitely still gets the juices flowing!

You need a copy of the '02 show...shall I send you one?

[TJMKID]

Yup...Dave is still hot and definitely still gets the juices flowing!

I'm not a mid-40's MILF that goes to a VH show --- but I have a gut feeling that ladies want to see a bare-chested Dave just throwing all the passion into the singing --- not shimmying across a taped dance mat in a blue lame shirt and barking into a headset.

Keep it simple and sexy for the femmes, Mr. Roth!

[DONNIEP]

Hence my reference to the '02 shows...
