Man, that was a great review. You kicked ass!

5 Stars.....only thing better is seeing Uncle Dave kick the fuck out of everyone.....

[mattiew23m]

was that a soundcheck in the daytime? i hope so cause the seats looked kinda empty.. Unless it was a festival type thing and some people showed up late

LOOK WHO'S BACK IN CIRCULATION!

Hey man, did you ever get the prize $ to Sammy and Guwapo?

I have ZERO problem with you mattie - but if this contest thing was bogus I would suggest taking another hiatus.

Man, that review makes me feel good. I'd kill to see the guy! One of the downsides of living in Australia.

[thin red line]

I was at the show tonight also. I have waited for over 20 years to see DLR with or without VH. My friend and I are big VH's fans. We were both were worried that the show was going to suck. Was DLR going to suck or kick ass. I have to say, he kicked some ass. We were floored. What was really cool about the show. Roth signed a few things for some peolpe at the being of "Just a gigolo." I just know he was going to be a dick about them asking while he was on stage. He was cool about the whole thing. He told one lady he would not sign anything for unless she slept with him first. It was great to see DLR live. If you are a DLR/VH fan. You have to go see DLR.

I would not fuck around with people like that at all. Did run into some bills thou, because my pay cycle was all screwed up this month. Gwapo has been contacted via email and will recieve payment through pay pal on june 23rd, and i'm gonna send out BFS the same day. I should actually see if he has a pay pal account.. Good that you brought this up...


ROTH ON

I will issue this challenge. Anyone...man, woman , child, or Administrator...who chooses to tell me that David Lee Roth is a washed up, has-been, wannabe....meet me out back..right now. I'll fight that point to the death.

I went into the show as a naysayer...I didnt want nor did I think I could believe that the man still "had" it. I was proven wrong, ten times over. You know that I will not lie to you. Is David Lee Roth the man who fronted Van Halen almost 20 years ago...today? No. He's not. Is he still a consummate performer, a true professional, a talented individual who's skills are severely UNDERrated.....absolutely.

Tonights show left me standing in a pile of my own dust...from my JAW scraping on the ground. We had GREAT seats... I got lots of pictures.

A review? Well. Let's just say this. Stick a thermometer in the ground folks....cause Steve-O-Wabo just called it as HELL FREEZING OVER..with this statement...right here..

David Lee Roth Is...and always will be, a better performer, and put on a better show...than Sammy Hagar. It's true, and I know it and so does everyone else. And I went into this with a feeling of yelling out during a low point "CALL EDDIE"...(which I did...) but you know what. The state of health, mind, and well being that Edward Van Halen is in right now....or was last time we saw him...he couldnt keep up with David Lee Roth if Roth was standing STILL.

Point One. Roth's Voice. Still VERY VERY much there. Lost a little of the screech, but makes up for it in so many ways.

Point Two. Roth...the showman. Worked an already small crowd into a frenzy....unbelievably great show, sweated his ASS of, never complained. Even pissed off security...who for the first part of the show did their DAMNDEST to keep people away from the stage, and INVITED us to rush the stage during "dance the night away". Screw Security. We went, and we didnt move for the rest of the show.

Point Three. The band. Eddie who? Brian Johnson (or whatever his name is..) is a GREAT guitar player. He's NOT eddie van halen, but i'll say this...he's damn close. Ray Luzer...great drummer...on par and as good as Alex...Hands down. Toshi whatever his name is...AWESOME GUITAR PLAYER.. Todd, the bass player.....bad ass...great great job.

I was worried about Dave and his "show' being offensive to the crowd at the park. He was nothing of the sort. He tamed his language, not one dirty word....not one sick gesture (except to tell the lady in the front row to quit acting like a slut...) Very professiona.

High points of the night..,,Just Like Paradise....personal Favorite

Low Point... Ice Cream Man. Just didnt 'have' it.

Missing In Action. "Yankee Rose" and "Goin Crazy". My #2 and #3 favorite roth songs...and he didnt even perform them. Too bad..I'd have loved to hear them.

In closing. Yes. David Lee Roth...is STILL "David Lee Motha Fuckin Roth". He's still got it, and Edward, if you're reading this. Clean it up, tone it up, polish the axe....and give The Diamond One a call. You could make BEAUTIFUL music together again. Dave said it best...."You can't get this stuff no more".....at least not like Roth gave tonite!

Pictures to follow.

STANDING OVATION! I agree with you 100%..I took my daughter to the show and she wasnt expecting too much from an old man as she put it..BUT,I asked her when it was all over what she thought and she was speechless! LOL I told her Dave still had IT..she replied Yea,he will still be rockin in his 80's! This show by far was the BEST concert I have ever been to..and I've been to a few :-) I was disapointed that more people didnt show up to support Dave.I hope when he walked out and saw such a smaller crows than he is used to that it didn't hurt his feelings..I know that sounds silly but I am always thinking of others :-) I could not sleep so I put in my fav VH and DLR cd's and remembered the night I will NEVER forget..the night I saw my IDOL the GODFATHER of rock n roll DAVID LEE ROTH!!!!!

[MAX]

S-T-E-L-L-A-R!!!

Man do you not realise how stupid you look for posting this EVERY thread that is longer then 5 line's long.

[DLR'sCock]

Yes, two weeks till ROTH!!!!

[col5150]

i like the way daves goin for the referee look these days, just kiddin. i saw him last year and the only thing that disapointed me was the fact that he had just released a new album but only played one song from it. He seems to play the vh back catalogue. Look at the best of dlr album, he could easy play just that live and please the fans. Hey you never know maybe thats him showing how much he wants to be back in vh

[diamondsgirl]

Wow! what a great review and even though I was not at this show, I could not agree with you more. Whenever I see Dave, it is fucking electric and folks leave the place just floored.

Great pics too! He looks mint.

I needa live DLR fix and SOON!

Which one are you?

And he was near the front row, so yes there were perhaps 18 people in front of him.

i still wish i was there though, looked like a great show all the same. what idiot does his advertising for a concert anyways?

You're very astute.
