DLR was the ultimate front man for VH. Their earlier stuff was great too, ( late 70's). He wasn't the best singer, always had back up vocals helping, but what a friggin HAM. I saw them all together on their last tour in Long Island, NY. 2 nights in a row. Tickets were only $120 for ground level , 10 rows back. This was 20 yrs ago. DLR was strugglin. EVH was phenomenal !!! He was a true genius on lead. Alot of people knocked Sammy for taking over front man. He did a great job too. Yes, I live in NY. They did a spot on the news with him riding a City Ambulance as a Certified EMS. That was all true. The 80's was a FANTASTIC decade for all music. Glad I was there for all of it. Saw Rush in 1982 in Radio City Music Hall. Neil Peart was just amazing. I could go on, and on, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses. Metallica, Ozzy, Motor Head, Just a fun decade that I'm proud to have been a part of.
David Lee Roth announces he is retiring

- Start date
Dang, I’m kind of jealous of all those awesome bands you got to see in their prime.
Yeh, one problem though,,,I was high as a kite and the whole decade is a bit fuzzy 
I liked hearing Sammy Hagar more. But for a show, David Lee Roth was a much better showman, and stage performer, knew how to work the crowd. Also seemed less stuck on himself than Sammy. Sammy was great though.
