Going to Hagar in New Orleans Jan. 21

**Doucet** · 12.18.00, 04:38 PM

Any of you guys going to The House of Blues? I got two tickets. I'm not sure what kind of girl I could find to go see it! Probably just go with a bud.

Hope to see more VH tunes in the set-list. And if he does "Right Now", do it the way it was originally done. I personally think the acoustic version sucks. Probably just a cop-out to save his voice.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing "Ju-Ju" and the other new tunes live. Saw him in Shreveport last year and it was damn good.
But more VH tunes Sam!

Hey dude cool deal...I am not going to New Orleans, but I picked up tickets to see him in Ohio on the 5th. It should be a fun time....I am hoping he plays Cabo Wabo myself. I heard the Right Now acoustic on Hard Rock Live and I thought it was decent.

Here's to your thin red line....MMMMMM I'm stepping over!

Yeah I hear ya Rat. I thought his version of Right Now was cool as hell. I like the story he tells about how THIS is the way the him and Eddie wrote that song. I'm not a big fan of the recorded version myself, but I totally dig his version of it. BTW, for those who haven't seen him live, do yourself a favor and do so. With an open mind, you will not be disappointed. Out.

I have a feeling Seen that we'll have such threads in due time my brotha.

BTW dude, I had an Eagle yesterday on a 7 hole carry over. Needless to say, I pissed off some peeps with that Tiger Woodish type shot. LOL. Out.

T5, you're gonna piss off us peeps who last saw golf season 2 months ago, and won't be seeing it again for about 5 more months.

Congrats on the shot though.

Hey thanks guys. I was pretty excited about it myself. I think I said something like kick ass!

Sorry about taking up your thread Doucet. Out.

Sammy in the Big Easy!!! WOW!!!!
Road trip from Boston!!!
Lets fill the wagons and head south!!!
I'm afraid Sam will eat too much cajun food and explode or let out a juicy fart on stage and kill those in the front row.
Have another donut Sam!!!

Not bashing you Red Rocker, but I liked you best before and during your VH years.
I am not really into your music now.
You are very talented, I hope you can recapture your magic that you once had.
Maybe VH can do a compulation album with all 3 singers in conjunction with when they go into the R & R hall of fame.

hate to disappoint you in advance, doucet, but if the last three hagar shows i saw are any indication, you're going to get 3 1/2 VH songs at the concert in new orleans: why can't this be love, top of the world, finish what you started and an encore of a half-finished a cappela version of cabo wabo.

the cabo wabo thing is new, but the other three tunes he played when i saw him in nov. 99, june 2000 and earlier this month.

don't get me wrong, it's still a great show. but he's playing way too much stuff off Ten 13 and not nearly enough VH material.

here's hoping he changes things up in new orleans! you'll have a blast regardless.

(btw, you guys probably aren't aware, but the local rock station in vegas is celebrating its 20th anniversary beginning in january and they're kicking things off with a FREE concert featuring - you guessed it - sammy hagar the friday night before the super bowl. you can only win tickets; can't buy 'em. i'm still working on getting mine!)

hey I'm going to see Sammy on the 14th in Portland Maine. It's the closest he gonna get to me. 5 hr drive.

First Sammy concert, I want me some o' that tequila.

Ha! You ain't kidding about the cajun food. Take it from someone who's lived here. You can put 10 lbs in a week without trying. Crawfish etoufee, rice and gravy, fried shrimp, almost anything cajun is rich and fattening. Except for boiled crwafish, which, by the way are the best damn thing you can ever put in your mouth! Suck the heads, eat the tails!

I saw VH in 1995 in New Orleans, and Sammy said he had a seven course meal before the show. If he gets on Bourbon Street, he may eat his way into a new size pants.
