That was always the least favorite part of the new VH shows.  Let me guess - Sammy by himself with an acoustic guitar acting all sentimental but looking and sounding like Jimmy Buffet?
 
 That was part of the reason they broke up the first time. [/b]

Thats exactly what he looked like, singing "When the eagles fly" or some crap close to that.

Actually, it was an electric, but he used some pedal to make it sound acoustic!

was there a bass solo and a drum solo?  or did that got the way of dlr

There was a drum solo, but the bassist didn't do a "solo" he just ran around hitting his bass shaped like a jack daniels bottle.

Damn.  The two things I hoped they would change they left in the show:  Sammy Hagar getting intimate with the crowd singing his solo crap and Micheal Anthony pretending he has talent.
 
 On the positive side, two beer breaks.

I used it to take a ten minute nap.

When I saw them do the Sammy solo set it wasn't *so* bad. This was way back before Sammy had all the crap to pimp though (pre Cabo-Wabo schtick). His solo stuff consisted of Standing Hampton & Three Lock Box mostly. With the lamest thing thrown in being "I Can't Drive 55". It was actually kind of cool then to hear Eddie playing guitar on "There's Only One Way To Rock" & "Heavy Metal".
 Aaah...the good old days.
