EVENT / CONCERT - SAMMY HAGAR & THE WABOS
Jun 2, 1999

Milwaukee Riverside Theatre

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Red Voodoo Tour

What a blast! : )

Preshow:  We met up with other REDheads a Giordano’s and got pumped
for the 

show.  Signed the banner that Kerry made (cool banner, Kerry!!)
and drank 

some Vit. T (thanks for the CW, Kerry!).  Kerry poured us a shot
in a water 

glass and I bogarted the whole thing…payback for Niel and the neighbor 

drinking the WHOLE bottle of CW a few weeks ago.  ; )

Arrived at the Riverside and was told that the show had been pushed
back to 

8:00.  No big deal, but just thought I’d mention it.  They
were selling 

Waboritas for $2.25.  They weren’t REAL (made with Margarita mix)
but they 

had CWT!  : )

The Red Voodoo Tour

Niel and I were sitting in our seats in row W when just before the show
we 

noticed that the row behind Kerry, Kari, Rhonda, etc. was nearly empty. 
We 

thought we’d take a chance and go stand up there.  No sooner had
we walked 

into that row, the concert started – we had just ‘upgraded’ our tickets!  

Wooo-hooo!

The show:  Alex did a great review….I’d just like to add or expend
on a few 

things.

Rock Candy – OMG!!!  I don’t think I’ve EVER heard that song sound
SOOOOO 

GOOD!!!!  Victor KICKS ASS!  That song was B-A-D!  Serious
bumping and 

grinding on this one!  ; )

For all you droolers – Rock Candy, Shag, High and Dry, Whole Lotta Love, 

Finish What Ya Started are *ALL* MAJOR drooling songs.  Sammy
is soooooooo 

SEXY!  You gotta see it live, girls!  : )~~~

Both Sides Now – during this song, Sammy got the percussion ‘brush’
and was 

smacking Mona on the rear.  He was laughing so hard that he couldn’t
sing.

Sammy screwed up words a few times during the show, but he was having
an 

absolute BLAST up there!  He was laughing and joking and gave
the audience 

the most sincere THANK YOU’s for coming to see him, for supporting
him thru 

the years.  SAMMY IS THE MAN!!!

Cari – Sammy pulled her up on stage!  Woo-hooo!   I got
pictures!  He let her 

sing Why Can’t This Be Love with him, then he gave her the mic, then
he come 

up behind her and picked her up!!!!  There was some kissing and
hugging, then 

Sammy got the mic back and sent Cari up on the risers.  ^5, GF!

Ron – What a shame…Ron’s 1st row seat was so close to the stage that
when 

he sat he knees were against the stage.  I really feel for him. 
That seat 

was just too close to the stage.  ; )

Alex – I didn’t get to meet you.  Did I see you after the show? 
If so, I 

didn’t know it was you.  I was still on my Sammy High!  :
)

Security at the show was kinda on the strict side.  One chick was
saying 

after the show that security had pulled the film out of her camera. 
They 

took Cari’s camera away during the show (did you ever get it back,
Cari?).  I 

could see this security guy out of the corner of my eye when I was
standing 

on the chairs druing MTM, but I just ignored him.  I was in the
middle of the 

freaking row and he couldn’t reach me – hee hee.

*GASP!*  I almost forgot….Sammy was wearing a black CWT/RVD tank
with a 

pair of olive green parachute material/swimming trunk(?) shorts. 
A little on 

the long side (c’mon Sammy, show us some thigh! LOL!) but at least
he’s in 

the 90’s now! ; )  He also wore a Hawaiian-type shirt for part
of the 

show…threw it out to the crowd at the end.  These guys in front
of us got 

wicked over it.  I think the shirt ended up in about 3 pieces.

Somebody reached up and put $1 in Sammy pant’s (mmmmmm….he worked
for that 

$1!) and he mentioned it…then people started throwing $ up on the
stage!  

That was fun, but Sammy didn’t do a dance for us.  : (

Vic was stylin’ in his black pants (tight-fitting…musta had some Lycra
in 

those babies!) with metal studs down the sides.  Pretty sharp,
Vic!  I think 

Jim Morrison had a pair of those, but his were leather.  ; ) 
Vic had his 

shirt unbottoned all the way down.  I gotta say it – Vic is hot. 
Hi 

Michelle!  : )  <—-lucky girl!

K…enuf typing for now.  I could go on and on.  Sammy gets
me charged up.  

Can ya tell???  ; )

Can’t wait for SATURDAY!!!!!  WOOOO-HOOOOO!

 

Thanks to Julie for the review and Ron Higgins for the set list!
