    Saw them on Jan. 26th in Dallas. Well worth it. Eddie looks and plays better than he has in years. He looks healthy and happy, unlike the train wreck that rolled through here in 2004.

    Dave is nothing but a big smile from ear to ear the whole time.

    Wolfie can really play. I was wondering about him, but he has skills.

    Alex is Alex.

    It was great to be able to hear some of these classic songs they way they were meant to be. I was only 12 when Dave left the band so I had only seen them with Sammy.

    Do miss Michael Anthony though.

    saw them last Friday in Denver. I loved every second of it and share the same sentiments as the above poster. too young to see them back in the day, settled for Sammy (which was still great).

    It was simply a fun show. packed house, everybody was smiling and having a great time. one big party....which is refreshing this day in age.

    now, I will not pay what I paid for a ticket again, however it was worth every penny I did pay.

    Just like the clothing, their music is outdated

    it was one of Marley's kids...Ki- something or other. The songs we caught were all covers from his old mans catalogue.

    Well, they were always hit or miss with their opening acts....

    That is a surprising opening act, saw Damian Marley open for Ben Harper and Rocked the shit out of me
