David Lee Roth and Pete Escovedo will be the highlighted acts at the Canary Foundation Grand Prix of San José presented by Taylor Woodrow, July 28-30 in downtown San José.
David Lee Roth, who will be performing on the main stage located in Discovery Meadow on Saturday, July 29th from 4:00 -5:00 p.m, was the lead singer for Van Halen from 1976 – 1985. Considered by many to be one of the greatest rock bands of all-time, the group recorded seven albums beginning with “Van Halen” in 1978, which ranks as one of the all-time great debut albums in rock history. The success of the album also helped turn the band into a major arena-headlining concert draw. Roth went out on his own in 1985 and has recorded eight albums during his solo career including his smash debut "Crazy from the Heat" which featured such hits as "California Girls" and "Just a Gigilo.” Roth also hosted a nationally syndicated radio show from 2005-to the early part of 2006.
Pete Escovedo, who will take the main stage on Sunday, July 30 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and again from 3:15 – 4:15 p.m., has been a major force in the Latin music scene since the late 1960's. He has toured and performed with such acts as: Carlos Santana, Anita Baker, Boz Scaggs, Herbie Hancock, Tito Puente, Stevie Wonder, Barry White and his daughter Shelia E. Escovedo has strong Bay Area roots, having been raised in Oakland and owned night- and Jazz clubs in Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda and San Jose.
Groove Kings and Nu Day, who were featured acts last year at the inaugural San José Grand Prix, plus Kim del Fierro and Busta Groove will also be performing this year.
Commenting on the high powered musical revue San José Grand Prix Vice President and General Manager Bob Singleton said, “I am pleased to be able to announce that David Lee Roth and Pete Escovedo will be a part of the San José Grand Prix weekend.

The San José Grand Prix, which proudly supports the Canary Foundation, is the ninth stop on the 2006 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford schedule. The Champ Car World Series features some of the greatest race car drivers in the world competing in the most exciting series in the world. Champions Sebastien Bourdais, and Paul Tracy, along with San José native A. J. Allmendinger, Mexican star Mario Dominguez and rising star Katherine Legge are among the drivers that compete in the series.
Continuing its theme from last year, “More Than A Race,” plans for the 2006 San José Grand Prix, set for July 28-30, include the addition of Freestyle Motorcross exhibitions as well as music, interactive displays, a family fun area and charity events. The three-day festival of speed, which will be contested on the significantly improved 1.5-mile, seven-turn downtown San José temporary street circuit, will draw over 150,000 spectators generating another significant economic benefit for northern California’s largest city. In 2005, the economic impact exceeded $40 million. This year, the race will be televised live on NBC with a second airing five days later on SPEED Channel. It will also be broadcast in 160 other countries thus showcasing the City of San José to viewers around the world.
I can't believe my luck! He's right here in my fucking BACKYARD and I am going to be up North at Lake Shasta Waterskiing that week.
The Rock Gods are not smiling on me...
Fuck I hope he does another show around here, I really can't believe I'm am going to miss this. If it hadn't been planned since last year, and wasn't such a big party of peole going, I'd have half a mind to come home early, but alas....
C'mon Dave GIMME A BREAK!!!!!
Knowing and believing are two very different things.
It is the difference between the knowledge we accrue... ...and the knowledge we apply.
Thanks NG for the details to the San Jose Gig!! I shall change my plans from going to Napa Valley and just drink wine at the SJ Performarnce of DLR!!!
KEEYTH - I doubt he will do any other bay area appearances......slight change of plan??? Come home a day early from Shasta......let's see ya out there to support Dave or just take Dave water-skiing with ya....now that would be a great concert with all the drunk party-ers and Van Halen music!!
San Jose on DLR's tour schedule this year!!!! YEAH!!! I'm sure Jimmy DeGrasso had something to do with this gig.
"Meet us in the Future.....NOT the Pasture".......DLR, August '07, VH Press Conference - Tour '07-'08
Tix are still available for HOB Chicago. I got mine during the presale, but I checked back for a friend of mine who may not be able to go. He won't know til last minute. They have tix still!
Originally posted by haha I guess tickets will be available at the door. OR free if you bring in an empty Coke can. In between sets ol' Dave will be running the Tilt-a-Whirl. I wonder if he'll stop in the middle of a song and yell at someone and say "I'm goona fuck you girlfriend after the show" sooooooo spontaneous. Oh Dave you are so cool. Watch him twirl his plastic sword, or skip around with his gay little ribbon. Come on D.Ro, there's dozens of people here tonight. Order a couple of pizzas for the "crowd".

And Youre SO NOT Cool......hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeah, but unfortunately we're waterskiing and camping until August 1, so it would be more like cutting the vacatiuon 5 days short, and being the outdoors wildman that I am, I just can't see me doing that, not even for Dave. Especially since he's only on for an hour out of the whole day. If it were a whole show of Dave, possibly, but doubtful even then...
Besides, I think if it were Dave in my place, he'd do the same thing, so, in honor of Dave, I'm going to stay up there and party like a rock star.... ...have a great time, I know I will be!:D
