    It's Showtime! in London '91



    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?

    it seems that it was Joe Holmes on guitar ? !

    "A Little Ain't Enough" tour. Guitarist Joe Holmes, bassist Todd Jensen, keyboardist Brett Tuggle and drummer Gregg Bissonette are the musicians.
    find on youtube ! (03.22.1991 in France )

    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.

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

    From an interview with their drummer.
    http://www.sleazeroxx.com/interviews/mccarthyint.shtml


    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.

    Becker brought it and Drop it in the Bucket IMHO the two best songs on the album although I'm guessing Roth wrote the vocal melodies.

    It does again make you wonder what Becker could have come up with if he hadn't been smitten with ALS, he was far more than just a shredder.

    Plus even on the 1991 tour, no offence to Holmes but that could have been something to see.

    I think he would have done to the VH/Vai what Jake E Lee did to Randy Rhodes stuff in Ozzy, making it his own. Not always better but interesting and great.

    One of my 3 top fave Dave tunes.

    One of my buds saw Dave in Bern, Switerland in '91, he told me he saw him come up on stage and start yelling in his mike, but it wasn't working. He turned mad within a second, turned round and threw it away full blast, maybe towards the soundcheck.

    Too bad this clip isn't soundchecked, but it's good enough to give you an idea of how it sounded.
    Too bad Jason Becker got that fucking disease so young and he's in such a state today.
    What a career he could have had indeed...
