"The Big Dead Amoeba grew hands during the performance." Sammy performed with The Dead in Atlanta Thursday night. A spontaneous deal, same place and same time with a night off and looking for trouble …and we found it. Sammy performed a version of Jerry's classic, " Loose Lucy" and the Chuck Berry classic, "Johnny B Good." Sammy says,  "It was completely on the beach."

August 1, 2003: The "Party of a Lifetime" co-headline tour with SAMMY HAGAR
and LYNYRD SKYNRD has cancelled the upcoming five scheduled concert dates
beginning today, Friday, August 1 through Wednesday, August 6, as founding

The "Party of a Lifetimes" dates, August 1 at the Oak Mountain Amphitheater
in Pelham, AL, August 2 at the Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta, GA,
August 3 at the William Floyd Amphitheatre in Anderson, SC and August 5
concert at the SETEC Amphitheatre in Beaumont, TX have been cancelled.

purchase.

According to the Skynyrd camp, August 2 at the Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre 
in Atlanta, GA and August 3 at the William Floyd Amphitheatre in Anderson, SC will be
rescheduled for Lynyrd Skynyrd only in September with Atlanta (September 10)
and Anderson (TBA). Unfortunately, two other concerts–August 1 at the Oak
Mountain Amphitheater in Pelham, AL and August 5 at SETEC Amphitheatre in
Beaumont, TX have been cancelled due to routing difficulties. 

The "Party Of A Lifetime" tour is scheduled to start again next Friday,
August 8 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston, TX.  The tour
kicked off July 19 and runs through August 17.

According to Hagar,  "We wish Gary a speedy recovery so we can get back on
the road with us and kick some ass."

Rossington underwent a successful open heart operation in late February and
was given the green light from Smith to return to the stage June 13 in
Karlsruhe, Germany.

Both artists are currently supporting their latest CD’s; "Sammy and the
Wabos Live, ‘Hallelujah" and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s "Vicious Cycle."

Both bands regret this inconvenience to their fans.

Yes, it is going to be the party of a lifetime.  Michael Anthony 
will be joining me at the last 3 shows: Minneapolis, August 20, 
Kansas City August 22 and St. Louis August 23. 
I am so excited.  Michael will be joining me like he did at 
the Hagar-Roth shows.

REDheads,
I had a great time in Cabo last week!  Got to do some jamming at the
Cabo Wabo Cantina Friday night with the house band Vitamin T and Rob, 
the bass player with the Goo Goo Dolls! We played songs from
Zeppelin to Rick James! It was a ton of fun!
Peace,
Sammy
