Van Halen Party with One Too Many Hosts
Sammy Hagar / David Lee Roth
Alpine Valley Music Theater
East Troy, WI
Review and Photos by Terry Mayer

The history of Van Halen almost seems like a soap opera. Original
vocalist Dave Lee Roth was in, then out. Then 'red rocker' Sammy Hagar was
in only to later surrender his job to some unknown singer. But wait, that's
not all. Dave came back, although only for a mere two songs. Then it was
rumored that Sammy was coming back again but then didn't, and yadda,

SAMMY TALKS TO ST. LOUIS,
"THE MOST LOYAL CITY IN THE WORLD"

Compiled By Kevin C. Johnson Post-Dispatch Pop Music Critic

most loyal fans -- those in St. Louis -- agreed to something different to

Hagar Thrills; Roth's Out of Style

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

June 3, 2002

Frontmen sizzle and fizzle.

Everyman Hagar still thrills; Roth's flash out of style

By Brad Cawn
There's good news for disgruntled former Van Halen frontmen everywhere: If
David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar can make amends, there's hope for the happily
washed-up rock star in all of us.

An interesting marriage of convenience was on display Saturday: an odd
couple with no love lost between them, who yet needed each other to fill out
an amphitheater the size of the Tweeter Center. They also needed Eddie Van
