Rating: Summary: For Sammy at his best... Review: If you have DirecTv, you have seen a preview. I was at the show they filmed this and it was outstanding. I am looking forward to seeing how it came out on DVD. And enjoying it a second time.
Rating: Summary: The Wabos get better and Hagar still has it. Review: In spite of his declining record sales, Sammy Hagar keeps being Sammy Hagar and his fans are so grateful!Sammy writes classic rock'n roll songs and does it his own style; always has. His contributions to Montrose and Van Halen have left their mark in rock'n roll history, and his solo career tried to get off the ground somewhere in between. Not ready to hang up his gloves yet, the self proclaimed Red Rocker has embraced yet another chapter in his career and formed the diverse Waborita band. I was skeptical, but these guys are very good! This DVD provides an entire concert, rightfully focusing on Sammy's best solo work, with 3 Van Halen covers "top of the world", "finish what you started" and "why can't this be love" performed almost flawlessly by the band, and a Montrose era song "Rock Candy" is also included. Sammy seems to be having a blast on stage, I don't care for all the new material, but many of them "Let Sally Drive", "Deeper Kind of Love", etc.. Are as good as anything he's ever written. The concert DVD alone is worth the price, including doubly digital 5.1 and dts 5.1 sound! But you also get a 2nd DVD which features a 1-hour interview with Sammy.
Rating: Summary: One good DVD, but the interview is crap!!! Review: Sammy Hagar in Chicago is one hell of a show!!! but the other DVD is just plain crap, okay I must say it has a lot of interesting stuff: Sammy point of view on the web, Sammy's departure from Van Halen, Sammy's hobbies etc. But heck!!! I want the music!!! Strange this DVD is a cool one to get, the show is amazing, with the "Waboritas" a guitarist that makes us wonder if Eddie Van Halen has an afro american brother somewhere, because this guy gives the same guitar power as the famous guitar player. And of course "Mona" the bassist who gives a new definition to the "girl power" thing so overused on some "alternative" circuits. Sammy and The Waboritas are more popular now than Van Halen, that's for sure!!! Buy the DVD if you want a good show, but the interview is crappy, anyway if you are a fan of Sammy I think you will enjoy it anyway!!!
Rating: Summary: Sammy strikes again Review: Sammy Hagar is a phenomenon. He's 55 years old and still rocks like he's 20. I've seen Sammy live in concert with Van Halen, solo and at Cabo Wabo and he is definately at his best in a small club environment. Sammy isn't doing it anymore for the money...he's doing it because he loves to perform. How many singers would let fans come onstage with him? Sammy and his top-notch band shake the rafters in this one. If you're a Sammy fan, you can't go wrong.

Rating: Summary: Low budget production looks and sounds homemade! Review: The DTS standard *must* be lowering! I cannot believe they would put the DTS badge on this DVD. The sound is just plain bad and the video looks like it was shot with a home video camera.
Rating: Summary: The Show Brought Home Review: This DVD is a must for not just any Sammy fan, but for anyone thats into cranking the volume and jamming to an awesome show. The Red Rocker brings it for over 2 hours on this DVD and captures the enthusiasm and energy of one of his shows. I've seen the man play live twice and have been just a few rows from front row, and Sammy puts on one helluva show! Granted, live is always going to be better than a DVD, but this is as good as it gets as far as bringing the show home! The interview on Disc 2 is great and so is the inside look at Sammy's club. Simply put, buy this DVD. 3+ hours of rock at its finest.
Rating: Summary: CABO WABO BIRTHDAY BASH TOUR Review: THIS HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED, BUT I CAN RATE THIS AS A 10!! BECAUSE I WAS THERE AND IT WAS ALSO BROADCASTED ON DIRECT TV IN THE MONTH OF MAY. THIS SHOW IS SO FULL OF ENERGY, BECAUSE SAMMY AND THE WABORITAS ARE THE BEST BAND AND PERFORMERS!! THEY ARE ONLY OUT TO HAVE A GREAT TIME!! THEY LOVE THEIR FANS AND ONLY WANT THEM TO HAVE A GREAT TIME ALSO!! I SAY BUY THIS DVD OR VHS AND YOU WILL BECOME HOOKED ON SAMMY AND THE WABORITAS TOO!! MAS TEQUILA!!!!
Rating: Summary: A total DVD experience Review: This is a great DVD. I've always been a fan of Sammy's, so I'm probably biased to some degree, but this DVD delivers. The concert is great. The sound on this DVD is truly amazing. Sammy covers all the bases of his career, from his early solo outings, to his tenure with Van Halen, to his current rejuvinated solo adventures. Obviously when a man has such a big body of work, there will always be songs that you wished he would have played, but if he played every song I wanted to hear, it would have to be a five disc collection. Sammy's concert are always a big party and this is no exception. You can't help but get wrapped up in the experience when you're watching it. The second disc is an interview with Sammy and is pretty interesting as well. He speaks about his career with an honesty that is rare in entertainment these days. Overall, this is a great DVD, well worth the price of admission and will not disappoint.
