When Wolf and Edward come in on their parts, Dave adjusts and seems to be okay, but when left to sing on his own, that’s when it’s pretty iffy IMO. Dave is still quite entertaining, and when you’re there you don’t mind the vocals nearly as much as when you’re sitting at home or listening in the car. ronQuote |

Greg – I’m not upset that he doesn’t sound like he did in 1981. It’s just painful to hear him butcher the songs we love from that time. FWIW, I do listen to the old albums too, but my original point was that it’s too bad that Dave didn’t have the same kind of vocal luck that Steven Tyler seems to have had. If you or anybody else loves the way he sounds today on record or in concert, more power to you, but I’m sure as hell not shelling out $150 to go see it. I hoped that 2012 was a fluke, sickness etc. The original vids in this thread and the others since posted just confirmed my worst fears: Dave’s voice is shot… or his approach is shot…. whatever it is, he sounds awful IMHO. “This hamburger don’t need no helper.” – DLR 5/17/15 wjamflanQuote |

ron (11774) | The recording up on DIME is 94 minutes long, so they ended up doing pretty good at sticking to a 90 minute set. I haven’t listened to it yet (other than the samples) to see if it felt rushed. ronQuote |

I’ve listened to half of it so far. Not much talking in between songs, but the show doesn’t feel rushed to me. The band sounds great! MinkQuote |

I agree with this as well, I’m not expecting dave to do the harmonic screams of the 80′s or the Drum Riser Jumps but the man can sing in his natural baritone voice but chooses not too????????? Now as far as his schtick is concerned it changed around 1985 but Dave is Dave I can handle that when the mans vocals are cherry! redozzmanQuote |

mcs5150 (1096) | All I know is that it is 2013 and the guys seem happy and healthy. It is great they are still touring and maybe recording another album. Maybe I am easily satisfied, but at this stage that is more than I could have ever expected from VH. mcs5150Quote |
