Haven't posted in years, but just wanted to weigh in. The band was insane last night! It had the energy of a Heavy Weight title fight!!! Saw them at Mohegan Sun with Dave's PA Rental. Both shows were stellar, but the Boston crowd was so much more interactive. I was right by the soundboard. Everyone in my section stood for the whole show. Shrieked like a little girl when they played Hang 'Em High! Almost leaped into my buddies arms like Scooby Doo! Tried to get video but i couldn't even work my phone in the excitement..
Dave had some good banter too. He stopped the band to tell a story about his father's Residency at MGH. He said they would park across the street from the Jail and what he thought were women would yell stuff like "Hey Hot Stuff" (in mock drag voice) out of the windows.. Eddie was visibly embarrassed. You could tell he didn't know where Dave was going with it...Comment

I found this version of Hang Em High today. Nice video and sound. Dave is rocking the cheat sheet and hesitated once in the solo but who cares. Made it from start to finish and melted faces in the process. First time in decades and will only get better.

This ain't the "too picky" crowd. Some complaints are justifiable in my opinion. If a singer to a VH bar room cover band isn't phoning the lyric effort in, well dammit, neither should Dave.Comment

Dave readin the lyrics -
Perhaps the band sprung this on him. The 3 VH's practice A LOT together and maybe do this tune. For some reason Wolf or Eddie said...hey, let's fucking play hang Em High tonight. Dave "wtf dudes? I haven't practiced that. Haven't sang it in 30 fucking years."....."Here, we'll run to Kinkos & print it out for you, but we're playing it."
Or that could be his hotels midnight room service menu & he just wanted to be ready to grub as soon as the show was over. Decisions, decisions.
*also remember, the last 30 years Dave doesn't drive around listening to VH cd's in his car like we do. You all have definitely heard this song much more than Dave.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment
