Let's add Eddie's table top, both wood and plexiglass models, into the 'tapping' discussion. I think the plexiglass version was built into the back of the guitar and flipped out.

Can Diamond Dave still do these splits and jumps and stuff? :)

Some of them...certainly not the high jump from the drum riser.

 

If he can still do those things at his age, he has my sincere admiration. He must be in good physical shape. I wouldn't be able to walk the next day if I tried it.

Had this show on today. Didn't get through the entire show but DRL fits in well with the Van Halen party band atmosphere. I think this performance is fantastic.

 

Eddie... On fire

Oh! Dave can play the harmonica! Multi-talented I see. :cool: ;)

 

Wish wish wish I had gone to see them back then. Oh well......................

 

 

Edit: That was quite the impressive guitar solo from Eddie at the end. He was a natural.

I think this is pretty cool of Sammy to do.

If I write Alex a letter, will he call me and invite me up to The Orbit for a cheeseburger or something?

 

P.S. Is Sammy the one who is/was connected by in-laws to Ray?

I believe it was Alex VH that was Ray's brother-in-law. https://groups.googl...ush/61hHPZ_QXIQ

 

I (Sammy) looked at Alex and said, 'Well, Ray's had f***ing Rush for 23 years. Do you think he's going to be more loyal to us than them?' He said, 'Oh, Rush is

going to retire. They are washed up. Ray knows they're finished. He told me that himself.' Alex went on and on with all this horseshit about Rush he'd been

told by Ray." Hagar says he was appalled at the negative comments directed toward Rush by Alex Van Halen that he attributed directly to Ray Danniels. Sammy was even more offended at the fact that Al's brother-in-law wanted to manage Van Halen so badly, he was willing sell out his other band to get the job.

Sammy Hagar

 

Diamond Dave is a living legend: a witty, intelligent man and a great frontman. Sammy is the better singer no question.

 

All 4 Van Hagar albums are great. The Sam saved his best performance to last: Feelin' - the soulful final track on the Balance album.

Check out the pipes after Ed's sizzlin' solo.

If the poll question was which is a better singer I would agree with this. But the poll is favorite. Gonna be hard to beat DLR on this one
