I am amazed at how many good reviews this show has gotten. I had previously seen them in 2004 w/Sammy and thouroughly enjoyed the show for 75.00. Then, fast forward to 2008. The show was ATL and the sound was terrible. Eddie’s solo could not be heard due to a software gliche or something. A friend of mine experienced the same thing in Toronto. All I know is I paid 150.00 to hear hugely loud muffled tones. Dave seemed to be in dream which was not what I expected. He was noy very animated like days of old. I love their music but it’s the last time I’ll pay enormous prices for a concert. Nowadays, it’s too much about the money and not enough about the fans.

That’s because they sound ten times better now that they did bak then before Hagar join the band. Also because Ed is playing better than He did in 2004 even though I enjoyed Alex, Hagar and Anthony’s performance. Plus Dave finally got his head out of his egotistical ass and sang like he was supposed to do on the recording but better now. Also Dave and Eddie both have matured enough to perform good music together for over 20 years. Finally they made their music the way it was supposed to be made and I mean MUSIC not sound like a fucked up circus act courtesy of Dave back then. This tour is the best of the Roth Era and I hope 2010 or whatever they say will be better than ever.

Im sure WVH is very talented, im not gonna deny that BUT as far as earning the right to be there i dont think so. He didnt pay his dues, its MA who deserves to be there. He put up with a lot of crap and gets kicked out for an apparent lack of loyalty?? EVH must get a kick out of making everybody, including the fans, miserable.

It was a beautiful thing to see. Eddie was awesome. For those who missed Mike, it is Wolf that made this happen. He’s the one who got Eddie straightened out. He’s the one who had a fresh love for the music, who played the classic tunes in his Dad’s ear and helped get Dave back in the fold. Wolf picked the set list. Wolf on the stage every night was the perfect elixir for Eddie. Now let’s hope for an album!
