Vocally, Sammie has Dave beat a mile. "Best of Both Worlds" is a good example of that.........jackie

yep!

 

[goodgrouper]

David was/is a heck of a front man..one of the best.

Musically, on his best day David couldn't carry Sammy's lunch box.

But when it comes to front men, I think Freddie Mercury tops 'em all. Talk about a man in complete command of an audience...this will make 'ya shake your head:

Check out Sammy's voice in Montrose. He had pipes from the very start!

 

[Al Nyhus]

These guys are still as good as ever....maybe better. If anything Klaus Meine's voice has improved with age.

Conway

Wow, FX77, my Wife's all time favorite.

Here is a version, (sans key change on last stanza), that is 100 percent live. Some have it, some don't. Ole Conway "had it"..........jackie

When counting my 10 favorite guitar gods, Mark Knopfler goes early on the first hand. An interesting fact about him is he's left handed, but taught himself to play right handed so his strong hand could get the sound he wanted.

Right-o, Jackie. Can you imagine Roth trying to sing "Dreams"? Sammy's replacement, Gary Cherone, said he would cuss Sammy everytime he had to sing that song live...and Cherone could sing a little bit.

But...there is something magical about Dave in that band! Their new one, "A Different Kind of Truth", is pretty damn good. Definitely worth the price.


Alinwa,

Best live rock band I've ever seen?

Scorpians. Nobody has even been close...

The unofficial anthem for many of us back in the day. Still great today......

On of my favorite newer groups....a post apocolyptic view circa the '70's.

Anyone out there like the faster, rowdy stuff?

When the guitarist of this band died recently, Eddie Van Halen donated one of his favorite guitars to be buried in the coffin with him because he was so impressed with his guitar playing:

Great guitar stuff, guys. Carlos Santana can wring a guitar until the soul just drips out of it. Carlos at his best:

This cover doesn't exactly suck, either....and easy on the eyes:

Carlos Santana's Abraxas album is 1 of the all time greats IMHO

I'm almost positive I saw these two groups at the Red Rocks outdoor amphitheater just outside of Morrison, Colorado. I've still got the ticket stubs..... so I must have been there, right?

If you've never been to Red Rocks, it's worth the trip.
