If you were lucky enough to be in Cabo this past weekend, you already know
what a smoking "you shoulda been there" kind of two days it was…and if you
were there – we want your photos. We’re especially looking for ones with
Sammy, Jerry, Chad and Tommy together on stage. (We’ve got plenty of Sammy and the Wabos). When you send them through, be sure to include your full name and phone number because if they’re good, we’re going to service them to the press and give you the photo credit. If you DON’T want your photos
submitted to the press, PLEASE STATE THAT IN YOUR EMAIL.

This year’s bash included drummer and birthday boy Tommy (Mötley Crüe ) Lee who celebrated his birthday on stage with Sammy Friday (October 3) night.
Tommy received a huge chocolate cake baked by the mom of Cabo Wabo Cantina Executive Chef Dustin Meeker. 
The cake got passed through the crowd and returned to the stage with amazingly enough (!) one piece left for Tommy.
But that’s not all –  former Alice in Chains guitarist/vocalist Jerry
Cantrell and his new band played vicious sets both night and Red Hot Chili
Peppers drummer Chad Smith sat in on drums on Saturday night. Among the
blazing highlights was an impromptu medley of The Beatles "Come Together"
and RHCP "Give It Away" with Chad on drums, Waborita bassist Mona, Waborita guitarist Vic Johnson, Waborita Jesse Harms on keyboards, Waborita David Lauser on percussion and Tommy on percussion. Also scorchers included Tommy sitting in for the Montrose hit "Rock Candy," Sammy singing lead on the Alice in Chains hits "Man in the Box" and "No Excuses" and everyone on stage for some of Sammy’s greatest hits including "Shaka Doobie," "Finish What Ya Started" and "Best of Both Worlds."

The celebration continues throughout the week with new guests scheduled to
hit the stage, leading up to Sammy’s annual Birthday Bash that amazingly,
falls on his actual birthday each year (October 13).

Stated Sammy, "This was one of absolute highlights in my career. I am a very
lucky person and man, it just doesn’t get any better than this."

The bash continues all week long….

Hello from Cabo!
We’re all ok and planning to stay and weather out these storms.  PLEASE anyone who is traveling to be here for my birthday bash be safe and cautious while traveling.  The Meltdown was wonderful and I’m looking forward to the B-day Bash! 
Peace,
Sammy

MONTROSE AND MICHAEL ANTHONY SHARE STAGE SPACE ON SELECT DATES

CONFIRMED TOUR DATES, EMERIL LIVE BROADCAST(S), UPCOMING DVD, OCTOBER BIRTHDAY BASH and GIVE US A SECOND AND WE’LL THINK OF MORE

Let’s get this straight, on the record, on the airwaves, across the wires, into cyberspace and into the next room: Sammy is touring, Sammy is live, Sammy is smiling.

Having said that and trying not to waste a lot of time and space on stuff you want to sift through, let’s hit you with the facts. Here we go:

NEXT: Sammy Hagar and The Waboritas will appear on a special edition of “Emeril Live” on the Food Network, Saturday, August 9th at 3pm and Sunday, August 17th at 3p. Times are Eastern. Check local listings. Emeril shamelessly plugs Sammy, the live CD, “Sammy and the Wabos Live, ‘Hallelujah’” and of course, Cabo Wabo Tequila (which, btw, is the number two premium tequila in U.S.).

WAIT THERE’S MORE: Four cameras were rolling 24/7 when Sammy Hagar embarked on his 2002 summer tour.  Over three hundred hours of material was shot and edited to create, “The Long Road to Cabo,”  the September 23, 2003  DVD release. The DVD is a combination of live concert performances and a behind-the-scenes look as to what really goes on after the curtain comes down and the audience goes home. If all this isn’t enough for any die hard Red Head and/or music fan, a bonus disc with over four hours 

of additional material is featured. Included are Sammy’s solo music  videos, audio commentary from Sammy, his bandmates, "The Waboritas" as well as Gil Bettman, Sammy’s video director discussing behind-the-scene anecdotes.

AND PLEASE, LET US NOT FORGET HOW MR. SUBTLE CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY EVERY YEAR: In Cabo, at the Cabo Wabo Cantina, with a few thousand of his close, personal fans and friends. The birthday is October 13, but the Birthday Bash begins sooner. As of this writing, the Birthday Bash performance dates are scheduled for October 7, 9, 11 and 13. The line forms from the back alley, as any Red Head knows, entry is first come, first served, meaning, no, advance tickets are not available.

AND FINALLY: See you at the bar. We’re already there.
