So Dave’s vocals are low. When I move out front for the last 6 songs, Dave’s vocals are stronger because I am catching more of the PA. All video editing, audio synching and DVD authoring by Silver Stallion (guitard on Dime). running time: 1 hr 24 mins (full show) 1. Panama “You Really Got Me” has a jazzy sounding “Birdland” interlude in the middle of it. I only have one request, that you don’t take these files and post them on other torrent sites. I have many shows to upload. I will upload, let them get seeded by others and after a majority have downloaded the files completely, remove my files so I can seed something new. I prefer to manage my own shows on DIME and The Traders Den. I will upload to other sites when I wish to for select shows. Thanks for honoring my wishes in advance. This is “CBG 21st Century Master Video Series Vol.24”. In 2003, I saw that David Lee Roth was starting his tour at this festival they called Speed Street in downtown Charlotte. I didn’t know much about it. In fact, at the time, I didn’t know much about racing. Growing up in the northeast, racing wasn’t that popular. I was good friends with someone who loved racing and he would speak of it all the time. We worked together in Connecticut back in the early 90’s. He moved to Charlotte and was working for a company designing trucks. One night he was stuck in a dead stop traffic jam in Charlotte and looked in his rear view mirror and there was Jack Roush of Roush Racing. He went back to his car and spilled his guts telling him what his interest was in racing but didn’t know how to get into it. Jack gave him his number and said ‘call me’ Monday morning. He did and he interviewed in Michigan and got a job as a chassis designer in Charlotte working for Roush Racing. In one year he worked his way up to lead engineer for Cup racing. He would be on the pit stand making all the recommendations for car adjustments for the race. He got me into racing from that point on and it was a wild ride that first season in 2006. To put this in perspective, it would be like me meeting the owner of the my favorite NFL team and he hires me as a trainer assistant and in one year I would my way up to Offensive Coordinator for the team. Amazing. He has since been lead engineer for Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Brian Vickers and Jaime McMurray. Now he is crew chief for the No.95 car driven by Michael McDowell. Hats off Bro!!! So back in 2003, I just thought this was some small race festival, and I was so nieve about the magnitude of this. The place was packed. The whole street. Race cars lined each side of the street. Food, beer, music on three stages. It was huge. This was the pre-party for the Coca-Cola 600 in May. The thing that appealed to me about this Speed Street festival before I went to it was that it was free and in the streets of Charlotte. So I am thinking, if it is free and in the city streets, why not just go up front and film it. There should be no rules against filming. That was my plan. When I arrived there, it was a nice warm night. I found my way down the main street (Tryon Street) to a stage at the corner of the 60 story Bank of America building. They ended up having race drivers in a Q&A with the crowd. A lot of families with kids were watching this. When the Q&A was over, a lot of the race fans started to clear out and I just worked my way right to the front barricade in the center of the stage. It had this little platform in the front kind of like the 1984 Van Halen tour. I was right to the left of it. Similar to my 3rd row seats I had back to back nights at the Brendan Byrne Arena in NJ for the 1984 Van Halen tour. I didn’t cover the camcorder at all with a shirt. This is city property and it was a free event. So when the show started, there I was front row left to the platform filming Roth underneath him when he walked out on the platform. I felt like I was in 1984 in a Déjà vu moment for that period of time. I know it was many years later, but it was cool. I ended up filming for like 50 minutes like this and think it is fine. No one cares. Obviously the stage crew saw me immediately filming in the front row. Roth saw me right away. The rest of the band did too. Then, without really noticing anyone in front of me, as I am looking through the viewfinder filming, I get this hard finger tap on my left shoulder. I pull my head away from the viewfinder and it is some roadie giving me the cut throat sign and pointing to me down. To put the camcorder down. It was odd, because, he tapped me hard on the other shoulder and then he stood back away from the barricade I was leaning on and gave me sign language to cut the filming and put it down. He wasn’t going to touch me. So I say, come on, I have been filming for an hour here. He gives me another cut throat sign and points down again. Well, rather than have a confrontation with this guy, or have him go get a cop, I just turn around, and push my way back in the crowd like 15 feet and turn around and continue filming from there. I figured, if this guy is intent, and if he can still see me in the crowd, let him come out here and get me. So I continue filming from there for the last 30-40 minutes or so. The show sort of turned from there. It started to sprinkle rain. I pulled out a plastic bag and laid it over the camera. Then in Everybody Wants Some!!, two guys in front of me start fighting. And it is a mosh pit and pushing and shoving all around. Finally that stabilizes. It started to rain harder. But I was a trooper and stayed the course and continued to film as the plastic baggie on top of the camera was deflecting the rain drops off of it. The lens got sort of foggy from the humidity and by the last song Jump it was tough to view. There were fireworks that shot off on top of the stage roof into the sky and they looked blurred in the foggy humid air and fog on the lens. But I got the whole show. This would be my first Speed Street festival of many from that point on. Enjoy David Lee Roth in the racing capital of the world, Charlotte during Speed Street! CBG5150 Posted to DIME 2016-07-30.

 JasonA (1104) | Interesting, this is one of the few, maybe the only show, where Made Up My Mind was played. The rest of the tour was just greatest hits + Shoo Bop for new material. JasonAQuote |
