Sammy Hagar & the Waboritas - Cabo Wabo Birthday Bash Tour

Amazon.com

To Sammy Hagar, rock & roll has always been one long party. His whole career (Montrose, solo, Van Halen, solo again) has been a paean to getting drunk, getting laid, and getting up the next day to do it again. That's all Cabo Wabo Birthday Bash Tour is: a document of Sammy's two-hour rockin' birthday party. Onstage, Hagar hosts the world's loudest party, and when he doesn't have a guitar or a mic in his hands, there's probably a margarita.

Even if there are too many shots of fans hamming it up for the cameras, the concert itself is a blast, with Hagar and his crack band, the Waboritas, cranking out a 22-song retrospective of the Red Rocker's career, from the early days to his 2000 release, Ten 13. For the curious, the quartet of "Van Hagar"-era tunes--"Top of the World," "Finish What Ya Started," "Why Can't This Be Love," and "Cabo Wabo"-- rock as hard as they did with a certain Eddie Van Halen by Hagar's side.

Extra features on the second DVD give fans a teasing 10-minute glimpse of Hagar's Cabo Wabo cantina in Mexico and an hourlong interview with the man himself. The DTS and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is, of course, head-bangingly loud; what else would you want from the ultimate partier? --Kevin Filipski

Two disc Birthbash tour........2005-03-04

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....

A big letdown!.......2004-01-08

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.

Nobody does it better!.......2003-09-13

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.

Sammy strikes again.......2003-09-09

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.

the red rocker is still the man!!.......2003-01-01

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!!

FANTASTIC.......2006-06-26

This is a regular, daily series on PBS in NYC. Having moved to another state, I was extremely disappointed that it is not on our local PBS cable channel. This wonderful series incorporates classical dance into lovely storylines. What I liked best was that the dancers are both female and male, thus appealing to boys and girls. It is filmed live on a set (no audience) and the music is classical. The sets are basic, but the characters use their imaginations and colorful props to play out a storyline. If I remember correctly, there is a narrator and the characters do not speak. My son watched this until age two. It was the only t.v. he was allowed to watch. I am so thrilled to find this on dvd as it is not played on PBS (to my knowledge) outside the New York metropolitan area. P.S. who cares if the narrator uses silly voices, the children focus on the dance, not his voice! Great way to expose children to classical dance in a very wholesome, imaginative way.
