No drinking, sorry. I have two kids in the ICU (27 days old), so I want to keep a clear head for them in case hospital calls.
The show was excellent. I am amazed at the stage presence of David Lee Roth. Even at 50+ his stage presence trumped everyone I have seen except maybe Stephen Tyler.
Better than Vince Neil, better than Sammy Hagar, better than any front man for any band I have seen live (Def Leppard, Motley Crue x2, Aerosmith x3, Tesla x2, Skid Rowx2, VH x2, Buffet, Kiss) probably missed a few in there as well.
The music was awesome, sounded just like it did on the CD. Started with album 1, did arund 5 songs, then went to album 2, played another 3 or 4, then album 3 for 2-3 more, then album 4 with 1-2 more then album 5 with one or two, then back to 2, then 3 then 4 then 5- building up to some stuff off 1984.
I was disappointed they did not play some of my favs:
Me Wise Magic
In a Simple Rhyme
Women in Love
but the rest of there history was covered in a 2 hour set.
There appeared to be a chemistry issue between DLR and EVH. DLR also lost the mic stand two times when twirling it.
I was going to go with a friend, he called in sick a few hours before, so my wife went with me (she is not a VH fan by any means). She was impresssed with the loudness and the talent of EVH.
