That’s sad to hear. Another musician in a fatal motorcycle accident in Georgia.

Sorry to hear that. Been a fan for decades and my list of favorite concerts includes Supertramp.

RIP Rick :musical_keyboard: :musical_note:

Love SuperTramp.

Now check out the bass, “drums” and megaSAX

1984 was EVH’s pinnacle for his Marshall guitar tone and arguably his chops. Panama is much harder than it seems because of the way EVH can fiercely strike the chords like Malcom Young while backing filling with his percussive bass notes. You have to play it with a relative low gain tube amp that breathes and responds to everything, including mistakes. I get pumped every time I hear the intro and if I can, I turn it to 11

Remember when the lights came on inside arenas during most rock and Willie Nelson concerts and there was dense layer of smoke hovering over the audience?

Dance The Night Away was written for wet t shirt contests when the band was playing clubs. And I think it’s about one winner that was getting wild in the back seat in a car outside of the club

Don’t always know whether to believe ol’ Diamond Dave’s version of things, but I’ve heard wilder stories, so probably close to the truth. I’m actually more intrigued about the song being inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way” than the inebriated dancer with her jeans on backwards! :wink:

Poor Danica. Way past her “15:minutes” when what she said was the last thing most were paying attention to.
