In the 1970s, Sammy Hagar made his first appearance in the American rock and roll scene with the band Montrose. Since then, he has launched a hugely successful solo career, which led to his most prominent role as the lead singer of the group Van Halen. This role eventually led him to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2008, Hagar formed a group called Chickenfoot, which began its tour after their album rose to #4 on the Billboard Top 100. Hagar’s Chickenfoot concerts have a high-energy party atmosphere, where audience members sing and dance along with songs from Hagar’s considerable repertoire. During his concert, Hagar mixes in old classics with new releases, giving audience members no shortage of nostalgia before launching into new jams, followed by a few more classics and so on. Many of his new songs are featured on "Chickenfoot," the premier album for the group, released in June 2009. In November 2012, Chickenfoot released a live album in a limited edition box-set that featured songs from Hagar, as well as other members of the band.
Hagar’s success began in the mid 1970s with his solo career, which spawned some of his most well-known singles, like "Red" and "I Can’t Drive 55." His solo career would lead to him become the replacement lead vocalist in the band Van Halen after David Lee Roth parted ways with with them in 1985. Hagar stayed in this role for the next 10 years and released singles, like "Runaround" and "Poundcake." Hagar is known throughout the past three decades as a Rock and Roll icon, giving ticket buyers a blast from the past, as well as a look into the present during his concerts.

Sammy and Company was off the hook!! Epic performances by all!!!
My husband and I both LOVED the show. Sammy, his band and the other musicians that showed up to sing and play were also great. The energy coming off the stage was electrifying! Everyone was having a good time. It was my first Sammy concert and I'm so glad I went.
Best ever can't wait for next year had so much fun met up with a bunch of friends and partied at cabo afterwards had a blast
Sammy is 65......and you'd never know....montrose, wabos, chickenfoot and van halen...every era was covered. Three different machinations of bandmates....one time event...over the top in Tahoe. Thanks Sammy for a special night that reminded me, as I get older, that we're never going to stop rockin'....
Sammy still amazes while approaching 65. Show started with Sammy and the Wabos taking stage. After that set he was joined by Michael Anthony(bass and backing vocals), Vic Johnson(lead guitar), Mark Lauser(drums), and Mona(backing vocals). This set rocked with his singles hits and some Van Hagar. After a brief intermission He was joined by Joe Satriani(lead guitar), "Electric" Bill Church(bass), and Denny Carmazzi(drums). This is where they went back to the old Montrose days. Satriani filled in for the recently deceased Ronny Montrose, he did an excellent job. It was a Hard Rock night for all in attendance.
Unbelieveable!!!!!! He was fantastic he had the whole crowd going. Young old it didn't matter. My friend has been seeing I'm for 37 years! I can see why.
Wow, Sammy is judt as good as he was in the 70's. Sammy & the wabos are awesome
It was cool that the surviving Montrose guys played with him. When Sammy Hagar kept saying on the radio here in Reno this would be a test to see if he could sing for 3-4 hours in one night, I must admit I fell for it and paid the $70 for a ticket. He actually sang longer with Chickenfoot in May, about 2 hours. He did manage to repeat that he is 65 a few times, so I found it intresting that the Beach Boys did 2- 90 minute sets at Hervey's Tahoe with a 30 minute intermission and they have to be 10-15 years older than Sammy (Sammy did about 70 minutes with a 20 mintute intermission, followed by another 20 minutes.) I don't buy the Saturday night 10:00 PM curfew line he uses anymore (and he cannot afford that fine!) as the Beach Boys played until after 11:00 PM on a Sunday night. And they never mentioned having to pay a fine they could not afford, besides who has more money the Sammy? The bands all sounded great but I woud have preferrred a full 2 hour concert with Chickenfoot, than a few minutes with each.
I loved the show Sammy rules.... Played all his greats. Special guests
I have seen Sammy and Wabos several times and will continue to.. His shows are like one big party,, always!!! But this year,, with all his "special" guest,, it was even that much better. Montrose was like back in the day,( so i am told =) ) Everyone was right on,, and again never a disappointment.. Great friends, great times,, great Music,, Thank you Sammy and Friends..
For a 65 year old guy, he still appears to have a lot of gas left in his tank. I drove from L.A. to Tahoe to see this show, and he did not disappoint!
Hagar is still at his absolute best!! The Wabo's are one of the most underrated bands of all time. Top it of with Smokin Joe Satriani the best guitarist of his generation rocked the house. This was without a doubt the best show of the year.
Harvey's outdoor concerts are great. Sammy Hagar has been a favorite of mine since I first saw him when I was a teenager. His show still is incredible. He sounds great, looks great and has amazing energy!!! Loved it !!!!
