It's Showtime! in London '91

[DLR Bridge]

Happy Monday MoFos!!

Never saw this clip before. I like it! Dave singing all the words and rockin' the swagger with nary a jump nor kick.

Can someone tell me who was on stage besides Dave & Greg at this point?

"A Little Ain't Enough" tour. Guitarist Joe Holmes, bassist Todd Jensen, keyboardist Brett Tuggle and drummer Gregg Bissonette are the musicians.

it's not London. it's Whitley Bay, UK.
I captured this video off of my DVD and posted on YouTube 5 years ago to show here.

this is from my channnel.

they played that song only a few times on the tour(first 2~3 shows) as far as I know.

This was the second night of the world tour at an ice rink in England, I saw them the night before in Glasgow when they also did It's Showtime.

I thought Holmes struggled especially on the Vai stuff...

Joe Holmes - Lead Guitar
Dezi Rexx - Rhythm Guitar
Todd Jensen - Bass
Brett Tuggle - Keyboards
Gregg Bissonette - Drums

Rexx was sacked not long into the tour and they just went to 1 guitar. Roth mentions in his book about a band member turning around and asking for more money during a tour and I assumed it was Rexx. I also assume that is a silly stage name and his real name is something like Nigel or Kevin.

[Seshmeister]

Rexx was the singer/guitarist in a band called D'Molls who brought out albums in 1988/1990.

From an interview with their drummer.

SR: Was it a shock when Desi Rexx told you that he was leaving to play with David Lee Roth?

BM: More like a certainty of fate. During negotiations for Warped, Desi actually hinted he wanted 100% of the merchandising off the tour! Anyone knows, in a group situation, it's not only insane, but narcissistic. Desi always wanted to be a solo artist, ever since I met him some thirty years ago--but he never made a dent with that dream. He believed his next ticket after playing with Roth would be a solo deal, through Patrick Whitley, who manipulated him to believing that. You see, we fired Whitley, who managed Roth. Whitley knew after hearing the unreleased of Warped he was in danger of loosing his reputation as "puppet boy" for Angeles, because Warped is still today, one the strongest albums in rock. Pete Angelus (who I truly respect) was Whitley's boss and Whitley was protecting his ego of having lost us because Scotty, Lizzy, I and Atlantic were on to him. Whitley thought, "get rid of Rexx, and the project will break". Which it did, but, the Warped album will never vanish. Tapes don't lie.

Having never heard the album its hard to really pitch in but strongest album in rock .....mmmmmmm at least they didnt get big headed , least he said one of

[Seshmeister]

So this is the opening track on one of the strongest rock albums ever.
