This weekend saw the EAT EM’ AND SMILE BAND reunite on stage for the first time in 33 years.

Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan, Greg Bissonette, Brett Tuggle reunited on stage last Saturday night at The Ultimate NAMM Night, during NAMM 2019. David Lee Roth couldn’t make it, so Jeff Scott Soto stepped in for lead vocals. It was a two-song set – Queen’s “Tie Your Mother Down” and Talas’ “Shy Boy.”

This was the first time in 33 years that David Lee Roth’s “Eat ‘Em And Smile” lineup played together.

Watch some audience videos filmed from the front row in the Ball Room at the Hilton Hotel in Anaheim.

The band nearly reunited three years ago for a concert for the 30th Anniversary of the EAT EM’ AND SMILE BAND.

Full Set:

4:14 – Tie Your Mother Down
8:27 – [Cameo: Woman from the “Yankee Rose” MTV video]
9:00 – Shy Boy

Original Talas version of “Shy Boy”:
