Reply To: Evolution of Dave

One thing I have noticed since his return to the band and more specifically the last tour and the early parts of this tour are his crazy smiles and “vaudvillian” faces. I was watching some classic stuff from the US festival and the Largo show from 82 and he never made the goofy smiles and crazy dance moves. It was more scissor kicks, parading back and forth across the stage and rock n roll moves.

I know things change, rockers get older and sometimes slow down but good heavens……if in 1984 you were able to show me some clips of the 2015 tour and this is what DLR would have evolved into I would have said “not possible”. He was one of the great front men of rock n roll, the whole package. Now he is wearing suits, has matching silk scarf and a crazy dance floor that he slips around on.

Still love the band and all that goes with it……but miss the old Dave.
