Join the celebration as it moves from Sammy's Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas to a concert stage in Chicago. It's an unforgettable evening of signature Hagar and three decades of rock 'n' roll's finest anthems. Songs: The Real Deal, Ten 13, Shaka Doobie (The Limit), Three Lock Box, Red, There's Only One Way to Rock, Serious Juju, Top of the World, Rock Candy, High and Dry Again, Deeper Kinda Love, A Little Bit More, Eagles Fly/Lay Your Hand on Me, Finish What Ya Started, Little White Lie, Mas Tequila, Why Can't This Be Love, Heavy Metal, Let Sally Drive, I Can't Drive 55, Marching to Mars, Cabo Wabo. 131 minutes. .com To Sammy Hagar, rock & roll has always been one long party. His whole career (Montrose, solo, Van Halen, solo again) has been a paean to getting drunk, getting laid, and getting up the next day to do it again. That's all Cabo Wabo Birthday Bash Tour is: a document of Sammy's two-hour rockin' birthday party. Onstage, Hagar hosts the world's loudest party, and when he doesn't have a guitar or a mic in his hands, there's probably a margarita. Even if there are too many shots of fans hamming it up for the cameras, the concert itself is a blast, with Hagar and his crack band, the Waboritas, cranking out a 22-song retrospective of the Red Rocker's career, from the early days to his 2000 release, Ten 13. For the curious, the quartet of "Van Hagar"-era tunes--"Top of the World," "Finish What Ya Started," "Why Can't This Be Love," and "Cabo Wabo"-- rock as hard as they did with a certain Eddie Van Halen by Hagar's side. Extra features on the second DVD give fans a teasing 10-minute glimpse of Hagar's Cabo Wabo cantina in Mexico and an hourlong interview with the man himself. The DTS and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is, of course, head-bangingly loud; what else would you want from the ultimate partier? --Kevin Filipski

Totally worth owning, but not as good at other DVDs.
This DVD is worth owning for sure, but Livin' It Up in St. Louis is better in almost every way; better performance, better sound, bette crowed, and better production. This show has more deep cuts, and a second disc with interviews and stuff. You can't go wrong with any live Sammy Hagar. He's kinda like David Lee Roth, but with singing ability, good songwriting, and a better band.This DVD is a lot of fun and you should buy it. Drink some tequila and let Sammy and Co. have their way with you.

Sammy loses his edge
.... After viewing this DVD, he has lost the edge he displayed on the tours of MTM and RV. Sammy continues to be a great showman - but his choice of changing the arrangement on "Cabo Wabo" was a very poor decision. You can tell by the crowd's reaction they weren't pleased either. I think that is the only show I have ever seen where the crowd didn't yell,"You go there once, you be there twice." They were stunned. The intimate feeling of being at the Cabo Wabo to start the show was what set Sammy apart from everyone else. Equally frustrating was that Sammy laughed in the worst possible time when signing "Deeper Kinda Love". Sammy has always been my "fav" - always. No opening act - no need to warm up the crowd. Because it's Sammy. The second disk with the interview was very insightful to many of the areas that Sammy has either not discussed in interviews before or touched on lightly. Too bad this DVD wasn't released on the Red Voodoo tour - that would have been magical. ....

Sammys birthday bash
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.

One good DVD, but the interview is crap!!!
Sammy Hagar in Chicago is one hell of a show!!! but the other DVD is just plain crap, okay I must say it has a lot of interesting stuff: Sammy point of view on the web, Sammy's departure from Van Halen, Sammy's hobbies etc. But heck!!! I want the music!!!Strange this DVD is a cool one to get, the show is amazing, with the "Waboritas" a guitarist that makes us wonder if Eddie Van Halen has an afro american brother somewhere, because this guy gives the same guitar power as the famous guitar player. And of course "Mona" the bassist who gives a new definition to the "girl power" thing so overused on some "alternative" circuits.Sammy and The Waboritas are more popular now than Van Halen, that's for sure!!!Buy the DVD if you want a good show, but the interview is crappy, anyway if you are a fan of Sammy I think you will enjoy it anyway!!!

Nobody does it better!
DVD concert of the century! Nobody rocks better than Sammy. This is a must for all fans of music. The Red Rocker is timeless. Sammy's repertoire of material speaks for itself in this performance. Sorry DLR, this stuff is way out of your league!!! I loved Van Halen but the solo material is so much more passionate and real. The Waboritas are without question his best band. Vic Johnson is soooo cool. It would have been nice to see "3 In The Middle" included, but nevertheless this concert shreds! Non-stop entertainment, rock's greatest voice, oldest teenager, and coolest frontman. Sit back, grab some tequila, and enjoy over 2 hours of pure rock and roll bliss. You won't be disappointed. The interview disc is very enjoyable also. Cheers.

Sammy Hagar rocks the roof down
This is one of the best dvd concerts out their. No fancy angle shots during the show. No fancy light show, no stupid antics, just one heck of a show to watch. The "Red Rocker" performs some of his best hits, he's written so much good music I wish he could have performed all of it on this dvd, but we know thats Impossible. If you like a very good performance of Some of Sammy's music get Cabo Wabo Birthday Bash Tour, you won't be disappointed.

Sammy strikes again
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.

Ganz einfach eine Rock'n'Roll-Party
Warum Van Halen nichts mehr von Hagar hällt, wird jedem klar der sich diese DVD reingezogen hat. Lebensfreude pur ohne jegliche Starallüren und absolute Fan-Nähe, zeichnen Mr. Hagar und seine Waboritas aus. Hier geht's nicht um grosse Gesten, sondern um Spass und den entsprechenden Soundtrack. Wie sagt Sammy in beinahe ein Stunden langen Interview: "Wenn wir richtig üben würden, hätte ich die beste Band der Welt. Aber das wollen wir gar nicht...". Und so kommt's rüber. Tight ohne perfekt zu sein. Ob alte Montrose-Songs, Van Halen-Classics oder Solomaterial - alles passt zusammen und wirkt wie aus einem Guss. Der Sound ist OK, die Kameraführung nicht gerade prickelnd aber gutes Mittelmass. Die Goodies bestehen vorallem aus einem ellenlangen Interview mit Sammy, der sich offensichtlich gerne reden hört aber sehr symphatisch rüberkommt. Ich kann das Teil auf jeden Fall empfehlen. DVD in den Schacht schmeissen und sich von der guten Laune anstecken lassen (sollte Eddie vielleicht auch mal tun...?)
