Last night in OKC I didn't really have any expectations of the band other than I figured they would sound OK. I can tell you contrary to what anyone say's about Wolfgang or their age etc. they sounded great. It was undescribably cool just be in their presence. I like both Hagar and Roth, but having seen Hagar I can tell you Roth is a showman in the true sense of the word. Still in great shape, his voice given his age of 53 sounds fantastic and keep in mind if you see live footage from the early 80's he actually may sound a bit better today! Bottom line, go see it, they sound great, the chicks in their late 30's and early 40's will be looking hot and you'll feel young as hell again!
