After hanging with Sammy for his BD in Cabo and seeing him with this iteration of VH, I have to say he IS the consumate musical entertainer of our time. True, DLR was a motivating factor in VH's birth and success but reached the end of his viability many years ago. I saw the Sam and Dave show in several different venues and it was painfully clear that Dave is only hanging on to his past while Sammy is moving on and becoming better. There is NO muscian today that provides the crowd interaction and appreaciation that Sam does - go to any show and you'll understand quickly.

BTW, he will NOT be with VH past the end of this tour...Eddie is doing what Eddie has always done and you can't have 2 Alpha males in band...
