I am not sure DLR has the hair to grow anymore, LOL. Yes, we like the new song Tatoo--hear in on Sirius/XM Boneyard channel, but Mike's vocals are clearly missed. There were rumors that his vocals were piped in on the last tour. I put nothing past anyone anymore. DH thinks the new song sounds more like a DLR solo song vs. VH. Hope the other songs have more guitar, too! This is EVH, for goodness sake! The album cover is also very similar to an old Commodores record! Then the opening act on some of the dates is Kool & the Gang, so not sure what's going on there with the 70's funk. I've got to go to a conference which coincides with another one of the tour dates, so hopefully we can check out a second show.

Believe-it-or-no.... I DO like lots of music! GS-ScienceChick- YOU sound like my Female/Musical twin!!! Blood (KISS!!), Cannons, Pyro, Explosions, Fire, massive light trusses, etc.....THAT makes good music!!!...;-) My top-5 BANDS would have to be: 1) AC/DC 1a) KISS!!! 2) Van-Halen (just saw them in St. Paul last Saturday w/ DW!!) 3) Aerosmith 4) The "Crue"! 5) Led-Zepplin I DID love Disco, some R&B, Funk, 80's Hair-bands, and all that good stuff!! XM DOES rule!!! I'm loving their 2 wk. free trial now... Faron

A Slip of the Lip (Can Sink a Ship) - Duke Ellington, 1943

Ooh just reminded me in the mid seventies ( my best guess- 74-76) I saw Patti Smith in some very very small venue which might have been a basement of someplace. She spoke quite a bit and I can recall she said that Baudelaire was the first Rastafarian. It was all over my head, but I knew I was witnessing someone very special. I also remember seeing Bette Midler at the Copacabana maybe a year after I saw Patti Smith. I was absolutely astounded at her energy. She really put on an amazing show and the venue was really small enough to have real banter going on with the audience. She was so sharp and quick- kind of how she comes across but it was so authentic.
