This show was much better than the infamous opening night which spurred a slew of online reactions. I just wish he didn't pipe in the obvious backing vocals. I remember reading somewhere that he planned to have actual backup singers on this show - from the Temptations or Earth, Wind, Fire tribute band or something - but they were fired just before the residency. -
That said there seemed to be a surprising naivety by DLR that he could still do 'warm up' gigs to get into the zone in the age of phone cameras and YouTube...Comment

Apart from being an amazing drummer he also ended up being 'band leader' and kept standards up way beyond ok or adequate.Comment

Sesh raised a good point... Luzier is a phenomenal drummer and great guy!
Many forget that the CVH magic wasn't just Eddie and Dave... Alex brought a ton to that equation. The 2020 cover band™ drummer just doesn't fill the spot well.
As backing bands go... don't forget Lomenzo's camo pants on bass was a key element in the early 2000's backing group."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Well, that was the thing, in that Lomenzo, Young, Luzier...you had distinctive personalities onstage backing Roth. Same went with the EEAS lineup.
Those 2020 musicians...again, competent but nothing special. Working musicians.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Van Halen impossible to replace. Eat ‘Em and Smile band another impossibility of a different flavor. It’s one thing to find musicians who can play it’s another to find people who are exciting on stage. You need both. Not easy to find.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
