Found this on youtube, not very good quality but a good performance nonetheless.

Nice pants, Mike.

Ummm. No.

I like ths song, but I think it would have been cooler with DLR.

Huh? Dude, it's a signature Sammy tune. I can't even imagine Dave doing it anymore than I can imagine Sammy singing Jamie's Cryin

They opened the show that night. I can't imagine anybody was too thrilled about trying to follow it.

**Jimmy is Cool** · 10.11.06, 06:49 PM

That's one badass performance

I've always LOVED this performance. I probably watched it hundreds of times on a VHS recording I made of it. It's a great mix. Al's drums sound fookin great, much better than on the record IMO. Plus ED does some rad fills, with an especially mind-boggling one to end his solo.

I don't know, I just liked DLR's stuff with Van Halen better. Never really liked Sammy.

I always associate this with when I saw them four days earlier in Tinley Park, IL on the FUCK tour. They were all sick, Sammy's monitors and mic had problems all night, and, if anyone knows the World Music Theatre, it sucks for sound. All in all it was a pretty BAD show, and I remember leaving somewhat disappointed.

Then, they're on MTV and tore the place up!

**Otis5150** · 10.19.06, 01:38 PM

Man, I feel old talking about this one. I was in college in VA and had tix to see them in Roanoke later in the tour. I was so psyched when I saw this performance, because I knew the show I was going to kick ass!

But the thing I remember most about this night wasn't VH, but the Poison trainwreck where CC DeVille had a total meltdown on stage and started playing different songs than the rest of the band. We were cracking up, like,"Whoa, this guy is seriously fucked up."

I agree...and they actually opened with "Runaround" off camera! They were their "own opening act", as Sam states in the interview afterwards. I'd be curious if that footage was floating around somewhere to see.
