Summary: Two disc Birthbash tour.
Review: I thought this was a great two disc set. Only one way to rock lets you see some of sammys guitar playing up close. And his I can drive 55 is always good. I think that the best way to enjoy this album is to have a stereo TV and turn it up. Lot good looking women too! His personal interview shows what a good guy he is. Not many left like Sammy....

Summary: Sammy loses his edge
Review: .... After viewing this DVD, he has lost the edge he displayed on the tours of MTM and RV. Sammy continues to be a great showman - but his choice of changing the arrangement on "Cabo Wabo" was a very poor decision. You can tell by the crowd's reaction they weren't pleased either. I think that is the only show I have ever seen where the crowd didn't yell,"You go there once, you be there twice." They were stunned. The intimate feeling of being at the Cabo Wabo to start the show was what set Sammy apart from everyone else. Equally frustrating was that Sammy laughed in the worst possible time when signing "Deeper Kinda Love". Sammy has always been my "fav" - always. No opening act - no need to warm up the crowd. Because it's Sammy. The second disk with the interview was very insightful to many of the areas that Sammy has either not discussed in interviews before or touched on lightly. Too bad this DVD wasn't released on the Red Voodoo tour - that would have been magical. ....

Summary: Sammys birthday bash
Review: Anybody that is a Sammy Hargar fan should buy this DVD. It is one of his best performances ever. I think you should turn off your phone, dim you lights and CRANK up the sound, just sit back and enjoy. If you dont have a good stereo-thats your loss. Sammy Rocks the house down!. OK now lets get technical about it, go in and change you sound settings, if you have 5.1 use it, if not change to 2.1 they both will still blow your ears off. Picture quality is great its a DVD what did you expect. Lets not forget about the bonus disk, the interview with Sammy was a very candid conversation. I really liked the part when he told it like it is about Eddie & Dave being [jerks]. ... Bottom line is: buy this and you wont be disapointed.

Summary: Nobody does it better!
Review: DVD concert of the century! Nobody rocks better than Sammy. This is a must for all fans of music. The Red Rocker is timeless. Sammy's repertoire of material speaks for itself in this performance. Sorry DLR, this stuff is way out of your league!!! I loved Van Halen but the solo material is so much more passionate and real. The Waboritas are without question his best band. Vic Johnson is soooo cool. It would have been nice to see "3 In The Middle" included, but nevertheless this concert shreds! Non-stop entertainment, rock's greatest voice, oldest teenager, and coolest frontman. Sit back, grab some tequila, and enjoy over 2 hours of pure rock and roll bliss. You won't be disappointed. The interview disc is very enjoyable also. Cheers.

Summary: Not Enough Old Stuff...
Review: Great show; and being from Chicago I enjoyed it all the more.
The only thing missing were some of Sammy's older hits from the 70's and 80's. His newer material is pale in comparison. The show also ends on a very week song with Sammy singing alone (I do not know how to spell acapella).
Regardless this is a must have view for any Sammy fan...

Summary: Sammy & The Waboritas Rock On DVD
Review: Hands down, this IS the concert DVD of the year! Even if you are not a huge fan of Sammy Hagar, this DVD is one to check out and by the end of the two hour plus concert, you will be a fan. I have only seen Sammy Hagar and the Waboritas live twice in Seattle and now on the DVD, and all I can say is they sure know how to put on a show. I love how the audience becomes a part of the show, the whole atmosphere screams PARTY TIME! A nice touch was during the 'Heavy Metal' track, when Mona (Bass) and Jesse Harms (Keyboards) take over the lead vocals to give the song a personal touch. I loved this concert from start to finish, and the 2 disc set even includes a great hour long interview with Sammy Hagar plus a short fifteen minute look at 'scenes from Cabo' showing some of the die-hard fans waiting to see a live show at the Cabo Wabo cantina.

Summary: the red rocker is still the man!!
Review: i bought the dvd before he came to phoenix and was ready for the show by the time sammy and his great band came to town. the show was an absolutely perfect copy of the dvd. the dvd is as good as any rock performance you'll see and will have you yearning to see sammy and the group in concert.this is a must buy dvd for all avid rock & roll fans!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A big letdown!
Review: I review concert dvd's on amazon,always before I purchase them,and I must say,this is the first time I have been let down by the concensus.The lone naysayer who said that production qualities and DTS sound was poor,was right.This is the only concert disc that I have purchased,where the dolby track was better than the DTS track,and the dolby track was mediocre at best.Absolutely no bottom end.The setlist leaned way to heavy on current material,and the Van Hager tunes seemed rushed with Sammy frequently off key,and the band singing the chorus while Sammy catches his breath.My 8 year old is just discovering rock music,and he loves watching these concerts,but this concert is peppered with foul language. I kept fast forwarding to find a track that didn't contain a curse-filled introduction,and when I found one,lo and behold,Sammy would replace vulgarity for lyrics.Scantily clad women is one thing,but the constant potty-mouth banter is lame and 2nd rate.After watching it alone for a second time,and adjusting my system,I still couldn't find anything redeeming about this disc.An X-rated good quality bootleg at best.I returned this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SAMMY AT HIS VERY BEST!!!!!
Review: I was at this show when they filmed it & I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed with it. The show has so much energy it's great. Sammy is one man who knows how to 'WOW' a crowd & it shows during this concert. It's 2 hours or so of pure adrenalin rush. It's one of the best shows that I have ever been to & I've been to many Sammy shows over the years. So, go out & buy it...you will be glad you did!

By the way...when Sammy holds up the 'SAMMY HAGAR...MY CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT' banner....well, that's the banner I made. Just thought you'd like to know! hahahahahahaha

REDHEADS RULE!!!!!
