Well he clearly forgot to pay his vocal coaching bill!Quote

Aw come on guys. Leave Diamond Dave alone. He's got bills to pay just like everyone else.

And yeah, I know Dave was never a great singer, especially live, but goddamn if he wasn't entertaining. This is just horrible...no self-awareness.
Yeah, he's "only" 65.Quote

What happened to him? He's a fair bit younger than 'our' Stones, no?

His biggest problem is he tries to sing songs in a higher key. Just stick to singing them like on the albums. Dance The Night Away is one of my favourite VH songs but the way he sings the opening verse just sucks. Has been this way the past few VH tours too.
I love DLR. His interviews and podcasts are supremely entertaining...he's a fascinating eccentric.Quote

Aw c'mon guys. He obviously was having some minor vocal problems from that ultra dry desert air plus "the nerves of first night". I'm sure he'll settle in after a few more shows and the right throat medication. And don't forget the IORR mantra: "you can't really tell anything from a YouTube clip, you really have to be there". I tell ya, If I'm in Vegas and I'm blasted and Diamond Dave's performing I'll definitely throw down my $20.

he's still the best frontman VH had.
the other two (was it three?) were so lame...even in their prime.
