Mike–Dates always include October 13th (his birthday) and several dates during the 5-7 days preceeding. I was there in ’05–going back this year and REALLY looking forward to it!

Who cares about the past dirt regarding Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth??? Music evolves, they are all awesome, but it’s never going to be the same. With that being said; the Birthday Bash at Cabo Wabo ROCKS!!! You have to stand in line yourself to get tickets, because they check ID. The lines are populated hours and hours before, but my husband goes down about 5-5:30 in the morning before the concert and gets tickets. If anyone tries to sell you a ticket then they are RIPPING YOU OFF!!! Sammy will tell you, himself, that the concert is meant to be a gift of sorts, and free of charge. We’ve been almost every year since 2002 and have met some wonderful people that we still keep in contact with.

Any idea of the 2010 dates? Does the week of concerts culminate on his birthday every year? His birthday will fall on Wednesday in 2010 so I don’t know if I should book the weekend before or after to see a few shows!

Enrique,
I went in 2005. The night before the show you want to go to , you hang out in a long line up the street and around the corner from Cabo Wabo.(Get in line about 6:00pm) Bring a cheap lawn chair and a cooler (not too big) of your favorite beverage to pass the time. They open up about 8:30am the next morning and pass out wrist bands which gets you and a guest into the show that evening. (I guess from some of the other posts that sometimes they might actually give out tickets but wristbands was they way they did it in 2005.)He plays tunes from his days with Montrose, solo stuff, Van Halen, Waboritas and now, I suspect, Chickenfoot. Usually has a few special guests as well. Have fun!! Its a blast!!!

Sure wish Sammy would figure out a way to get tickets to fans who baook a trip and travel down there easier. Same to spend all that money andy waste a day standing in line on stressing about getting 1 ticket for 1 show.
