David Lee Roth – Live in Concert
With a larger-than-life personality and a powerful voice that conveys all the energy, celebration, and hedonism of an all-night block party, David Lee Roth is one of rock music’s best and most exciting frontmen. While Roth remains best known for his integral role in Van Halen’s meteoric rise to global dominance during the late ’70s and early ’80s (not to mention his on-again, off-again relationship with the band), he also enjoyed massive success as a solo artist throughout the ’80s, and continued releasing new music as he grew into more of a cultural icon than a hard-touring musician. Charismatic, bold, and a little bit sleazy, Roth’s talent for singing and showmanship is apparent in his every public appearance, be it his bit part acting role on The Sopranos, any of his several reunions with Van Halen, or solo efforts like 2003’s covers-heavy Diamond Dave.
