Should be an interesting show to see. I saw them around 1980 back in their heyday and they were awesome. Had 4th row center floor seats. It's amazing how both your knees instantly turn into spare seats for teenage girls you've never met.

[Ponch ®]

hmmm....

I saw them when they first reunited back in '07 and it pains me to say it was one of the least memorable concerts Ive ever been to. I even forgot to include them in the "Bands you have seen live" thread. And VH w/ DLR is one of my all time favorite bands...

[chargerboy69]

Indy. . cool.

I have seen them with Sammy and I have seen Dave by himself, actually got to meet Dave and hang out with him during his sound check.

Well......

VH 1 was released when I was in high school, so I have attachments...and I've managed to miss a lot of bands I didn't go see back then-wasn't a big concert-goer in my youth, too busy chasing motorcycle races. So even if it sucks I won't have to say I never saw them.

5/19/2012 St. Paul MN  I'm going!   

[bull]

Eddie can't hold it together that long. If they manage to play 75% of those dates I'll be surprised, especially if it actually sounds decent.

[learical1]

I ... actually got to meet Dave and hang out with him during his sound check.

When?  A former band mate of mine told me that when he met DLR (1985) after a show, large amounts of white powder were readily available for those who partook.

He played here in Fort Wayne maybe 8 years ago.  The place was a small venue, but sold out.  In the early afternoon, a couple buddies and myself went down to the venue just to see if we could by some chance get in to meet Dave.  We walked right in the front doors and nobody told us to leave, so we grabbed a table off to the side. Within 10 minutes, Dave and his band came out on stage for sound check.  We got up from the table we were sitting at and stood in the middle of the floor, we were the only people there.  He came down from the stage and kinda put his arm around me as he sang Panama.  He stayed down there with us for nearly a hour talking with us and doing the sound check.  I am guessing he sung roughly 10 songs while standing down there with us. He was a very nice guy and made us feel very welcome.

[maxwellwedge]

[The70RT]

I already grabbed tickets for the Toronto show. Opening Band.....Cool and the Gang...     

I know...that's what I was thinking. The only song I remember was the Celebration one, I got the KC tickets. 

[firefighter3931]

Just got tickets for the Montreal show in March 

Kool & the Gang ? 



Ron

[ChgrSteve67]

Saw them (well kinda) in the early 80's
DRL was so drunk they started the third song of thier set over three times before they gave up and left the stage.

Since they actually took the stage the promotor said they did not have to refund the tickets so we all got screwed.

[4cruzin]

I remember when they first came out and we had 5 shows here in Detroit . . . I went to 4 of them!   I was thinking about getting tickets for the Detroit show but it ended up on a Monday and Cool and the gang are warmup?  I'll pass . . . . .   I did see them the last time here in Detroit with David lee Roth on vocals . . . 

[greenpigs]

He was a very nice guy and made us feel very welcome.

That says a lot about who he really is at least for me it does.

[RallyeMike]

I have to say I have caught lots of bands on reunion tours, and most of them have been pretty good. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that many wild oats have already been sown, and they are more serious about music and money than partying. I'm going to miss this one. All have a blast!

[RIDELIKEHELL]

I saw them last time around with Roth in Toronto and we loved it! Lets face it Daves lungs aren't the same but to see him fronting again was worth it. I have seen them in every form now Haggar, Cherone now Roth. I was in grade 6 when 1984 came out so I had never see Diamond Dave front the band till then. The kicker is we are in Mexico when they play close to here...Detroit or Toronto or we would be going

[jb666]

I've got two VIP tickets to the Boston show.. Looking forward to it
