Reply To: DAVID LEE ROTH ROCKS VEGAS!

I saw Vegas shows #2 & #3 (like the VHND reviewer).

Was Dave great? No

Was Dave entertaining? Yes

Did people have fun and enjoy the show? Yes

Was Dave as good as, better than, worse than, previous VH tours? I couldn’t tell you. Certain songs were very good/great, and others should be removed from the set. I’ve seen Dave on those previous tours, so I know what I’m going to get.

My biggest problem was with Dave’s comment, “We do not sound like Van Halen live. You have not heard this. Van Halen live is lead guitar, bass, drums, sing. Here, we bring it the way a record brings it. To do that requires 2 or 3 guitars. We have 5 people hollerin.’ It’s BIG ROCK sound.”

I (mistakenly) took that to mean that we’d be hearing the songs like we heard them on the record (tape, CD, whatever), and that’s not what was delivered.

Did I have fun? Yep. Am I sorry I went? Nope.
