Over the past couple of weeks I have found myself listening to some Gary/Van Halen 1998 shows. (Thanks again Evh51501008) I was fortunate to see one show in Sydney and like mainy fans I was initially drawn to Gary's movements around the stage and did not really listen to his interpretation of some classic Dave era tunes. Now that I have some of the shows I can listen now with a more critical ear.
In my opinion, Gary did a bang up job of some Dave material. It was great to hear these again and when I compare his version(s) to some of the other Dave bootlegs I have he does a remarkable job on them.
Some may say better, but lets not start that war.:chucks:
Question is. "Which Dave/Sammy song do you feel Gary did a great job on when he fronted Van Halen live?"
My choice- Mean Streets.:bannana_g
His version has real menace about it. Listen to the versions on "Live at the 10 spot" and "Wolfgang Attacks" bootegs to refresh your memory.
What are your choices and why?
