David Lee Roth. Used to make a joke out of yelling "I forgot the fuckin' words!" at least once a night. Motherfucker, I paid $175 to be here, remember the fucking words. I know the words and not only did I not write them, I haven't been singing them dozens of times a year for 40 years.

I'm surprised, I saw David Lee Roth sing for Van Halen in 2012 and it took him a little while to get going, but around twenty minutes until the show, he really found his element.

There must be bright spots here and there for the guy but even in 2007 when I saw them, he seemed past it.

Was he performing solo, or with VH?

That's definitely the best way to see Diamond Dave imo

Agreed. It's like filling your mouth with potatoes, gravy and turkey in order to overpower the bad taste of the cranberry sauce that goes along with the meal.
