Last Sunday night, David Lee Roth, now 71, headlined the House of Blues in Boston, bringing a flood of ’70s and ’80s classic rock with him.
According to The Boston Herald, Diamond Dave and his band performed 18 songs from the Van Halen discography and one blues song during the two-hour event, which also featured stories, chants, jokes, and “zeebuhla bops.”
Backing Roth were guitarist Al Estrada, bassist Ryan Wheeler, and drummer Francis Valentino, plus a quartet of backup singers. The band, according to the outlet, were able to “replicate Eddie, Alex, and Michael Anthony with respectable accuracy.”

All the hits were played, from “Little Dreamer,” “Dance the Night Away,” and “Mean Streets,” to “I’m the One,” “Panama,” “Drop Dead Legs,” and “Hot for Teacher.” Oh, and “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” and “Everybody Wants Some!!,” which the BH described as “wonderfully unhinged fire.”
Lots of fans seem to agree. Taking to the comments section, they shared praise, compliments, and more for the flamboyant and eccentric frontman.
“Dave is a national treasure, we all love you Dave. I was there the other night and it was a great time had by all. I thought you were great. Good stuff Van Halen lives on,” one fan shared.
“This band totally ROCKS.!!!” another said.
“Dave is rockin..could have used some dancing girls and rhythm guitar to make it great..but its ok.his guitarist and drummer did a hell of a job!” another wrote.
Dekked out in head-to-toe leather (we'd expect nothing less), Roth rocked a belted jumpsuit and matching black jacket. He accessorized with a red bandana around his neck and did what Roth does best: His legs wiggled, his vocals screamed, the frontman fronted.
Always the showman, Roth is currently touring the country, sharing his signature swagger and a heavy dose of Van Halen nostalgia to fans hungry for a little classic rock. Dates and tickets can be found here.
Whether you're Team Roth or firmly in the Sammy Hager camp, one thing is for certain: Any excuse to hear those VH anthems live is a win for rock fans everywhere.
