Pass Gently EVH ... you were one of the greatest ... maybe even THE greatest ...
Such a sad day 
Eddie ...
FWIW, don't really see this an occasion to bash Rap, personally.
David Lee Roth introduced everyone in the band and mentioned thst this was their first American tour and that they to had been touring in Europe to tune up for it. Roth dropped the fact that he had lived in MA at one point. That went over big with the crowd.
It was a really good concert. They had the three level stage and Roth was pretty impressive doing some Tarzan swings/calls from a rope off the top level. Eddy was killing it on the guitar solos.
