This is a great DVD. I've always been a fan of Sammy's, so I'm probably biased to some degree, but this DVD delivers. The concert is great. The sound on this DVD is truly amazing. Sammy covers all the bases of his career, from his early solo outings, to his tenure with Van Halen, to his current rejuvinated solo adventures. Obviously when a man has such a big body of work, there will always be songs that you wished he would have played, but if he played every song I wanted to hear, it would have to be a five disc collection. Sammy's concert are always a big party and this is no exception. You can't help but get wrapped up in the experience when you're watching it. The second disc is an interview with Sammy and is pretty interesting as well. He speaks about his career with an honesty that is rare in entertainment these days. Overall, this is a great DVD, well worth the price of admission and will not disappoint.

Anybody that is a Sammy Hargar fan should buy this DVD. It is one of his best performances ever. I think you should turn off your phone, dim you lights and CRANK up the sound, just sit back and enjoy. If you dont have a good stereo-thats your loss. Sammy Rocks the house down!. OK now lets get technical about it, go in and change you sound settings, if you have 5.1 use it, if not change to 2.1 they both will still blow your ears off. Picture quality is great its a DVD what did you expect. Lets not forget about the bonus disk, the interview with Sammy was a very candid conversation. I really liked the part when he told it like it is about Eddie & Dave being [jerks]. ... Bottom line is: buy this and you wont be disapointed.

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!!

This DVD is a must for not just any Sammy fan, but for anyone thats into cranking the volume and jamming to an awesome show. The Red Rocker brings it for over 2 hours on this DVD and captures the enthusiasm and energy of one of his shows. I've seen the man play live twice and have been just a few rows from front row, and Sammy puts on one helluva show! Granted, live is always going to be better than a DVD, but this is as good as it gets as far as bringing the show home! The interview on Disc 2 is great and so is the inside look at Sammy's club. Simply put, buy this DVD. 3+ hours of rock at its finest.

This is an awesome DVD! Not only does it include the concert in Chicago, but it also has a great interview with the Red Rocker along with wonderful scenes from Cabo! The DVD captures Sammy and The Wabs doing what they do best,putting on a fantastic show and really getting the crowd into it!It's a great preformance and it really makes you feel like you are part of the show! This is a MUST HAVE for any REDhead and Drooler!

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.

Great show; and being from Chicago I enjoyed it all the more.
The only thing missing were some of Sammy's older hits from the 70's and 80's. His newer material is pale in comparison. The show also ends on a very week song with Sammy singing alone (I do not know how to spell acapella).
Regardless this is a must have view for any Sammy fan...

In spite of his declining record sales, Sammy Hagar keeps being Sammy Hagar and his fans are so grateful!

Sammy writes classic rock'n roll songs and does it his own style; always has. His contributions to Montrose and Van Halen have left their mark in rock'n roll history, and his solo career tried to get off the ground somewhere in between. Not ready to hang up his gloves yet, the self proclaimed Red Rocker has embraced yet another chapter in his career and formed the diverse Waborita band. I was skeptical, but these guys are very good! This DVD provides an entire concert, rightfully focusing on Sammy's best solo work, with 3 Van Halen covers "top of the world", "finish what you started" and "why can't this be love" performed almost flawlessly by the band, and a Montrose era song "Rock Candy" is also included.

Sammy seems to be having a blast on stage, I don't care for all the new material, but many of them "Let Sally Drive", "Deeper Kind of Love", etc.. Are as good as anything he's ever written. The concert DVD alone is worth the price, including doubly digital 5.1 and dts 5.1 sound! But you also get a 2nd DVD which features a 1-hour interview with Sammy.

Hands down, this IS the concert DVD of the year! Even if you are not a huge fan of Sammy Hagar, this DVD is one to check out and by the end of the two hour plus concert, you will be a fan. I have only seen Sammy Hagar and the Waboritas live twice in Seattle and now on the DVD, and all I can say is they sure know how to put on a show. I love how the audience becomes a part of the show, the whole atmosphere screams PARTY TIME! A nice touch was during the 'Heavy Metal' track, when Mona (Bass) and Jesse Harms (Keyboards) take over the lead vocals to give the song a personal touch. I loved this concert from start to finish, and the 2 disc set even includes a great hour long interview with Sammy Hagar plus a short fifteen minute look at 'scenes from Cabo' showing some of the die-hard fans waiting to see a live show at the Cabo Wabo cantina.

I like sammy hagar but after seeing this dvd I like him a hole lot more the man can rock&roll and this dvd just kicks butt this is a very well made and great sounding dvd!!!! Worth every penny!!!
