This is my first post here, but I've been a huge DLR/VH fan since my first concert at the age of 14 in for the YFLM tour. So anyway...I saw Diamond Dave play last night in Orlando and he brought the house down. I tell ya he was in rare form, but as you all know he's always in rare form. He played all the classics, man and it was the perfect way to rock in the year. His band was on it. Ray Luzier on bass, Brian Young on guitar, some Japanese dude on guitar, and I forget the drummer's name, but they all were awesome.
Dave would stop right in the middle of songs to start telling jokes and the crowd was eating that up. It was a mixed crowd, a lot of people had only vague ideas of who Dave was, but they sure as hell know now. He started off with VH hits like Unchained, Hot for Teacher, Somebody Get Me a Doctor, he played Calif Girls, Just Like Paradise, and a lot more. This first set lasted about an hour. He took a break after that and encouraged us all to get fucked up. At midnight he returned and continued rocking the hell out Orlando. Man this was the place to be.
He played Runnin With the Devil, some more classic VH, Just a Gigolo, Yankee Rose, even busted out Shoo Bop off Diamond Dave, which I think is a fuckin rockin song, that shit was tight! Man what a good freakin show...I was right there too, like 10 feet from the stage. Some old slut was dancing with me and smelling like liquor and I told her not to puke on me and she flipped script and got beligerant quickl like. Other than that shit was straight, I even met some English hotties on vacation who bought me beer.
The night was capped off with an encore of Jump...to sum it up, that was the place to be. Dave fuckin rocked.
