May 12, 2007, 17 years ago
Bassist Michael Anthony's (VAN HALEN, SAMMY HAGAR) has posted the following update:
"The Red Rocker Room at the Tahoe Wabo was packed to the gills for the mother of all Cinco De Mayo celebrations last Saturday night as Michael, Hagar guitarist Vic Johnson and drummer John Douglas, aka, The Mad Anthony Express, treated a standing room only crowd to a blistering set of Van Halen, ZZ TOP, LED ZEPPELIN and MONTROSE cover tunes!Not wanting to disappoint the thousands of fans who'd made the trek to Tahoe for Hagar's annual Cinco de Mayo bash only to learn the shows had been postponed due to the Red Rocker being ill, The Mad Anthony Express quickly organized a free show at the club.
Rabid fans were packed into every square inch of the main room as well as two adjoining rooms, as they elbowed, punched and shoved their way in, around and on top of each other, all trying to get as close to the action as possible while simultaneously creating the world's largest human sardine can! The Fire Marshall would have had a coronary had he been on hand and fortunately for him, it was so crowded in there, he'd have never made it more than five feet past the front door!
The set list included 'Atomic Punk', 'Runnin' With The Devil', 'The Immigrant Song', 'Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago', 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love', 'All Right Now', 'Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers', 'Rock Candy', 'Bad Motor Scooter', 'Little Dreamer', 'Goin' Down', 'D.O.A.', and 'I'm The One'."
