DLR played the second half. Pretty much his entire setlist was VH tunes. And he sucked. We left partway into DLR's fourth song.

I went to that. I missed out on seeing the DLR VH, so it was my first time seeing Dave live and I was pumped. I "liked" Sammy and "Van Hagar," but I ****ing loved the DLR VH.
Sammy came out I was actually surprised at how good he was. His stuff was always 'ok' to me, but he just sounded great live. Put on a great show.
Then DLR came out and I was completely underwhelmed. He was just--weird. And just kind of awkward. He's always been weird off-stage, but on stage, he just was not what I expected.
