Strat Weekend #3
Strat Weekend #3

It doesn’t get much better than that to close out our 1st residency run! All the years playing with Mikey, Mona, Vic and Bro came out like a wave of synchronicity. No setlist needed as we rode the jam from "Turn up The Music, to AC/DC’s "Problem Child" (a highlight of the night for me and one I haven't played in at least 20 years) to Montrose "Make it Last"" (the second song I ever wrote in my life!) and “Be Still” a new song we performed live for the first time (minus Jason) but yes—new album coming soon!

Strat Recap - Weekend 2
Strat Recap - Weekend 2

Vegas, on stage & off, it’s been Sammy Hagar & Friends — and it’s been a blast. See you this weekend as we close out the first sold-out run of my residency. Here are some of my favorite moments (so far). 1. With my buddy & fellow Libra Sting 2. Jammin’ on stage with my main Libra buddy Bobby Weir @ #thestrat 3. At Sting’s soundcheck with the bombastic Libra Shaggy. See a sign here? @ #thecolosseum at Caesars. 4. Backstage with Stephen Pearcy and Mikey after the 1st show. 5. Sammy Hagar & Friends @ #thestrat or are we in Cabo still? 6.

First Weekend of the Strat Residency
First Weekend of the Strat Residency

The first weekend of the Vegas/Strat residency was as much fun as I've had anywhere in the world on stage. Cabo, Catalina, Vegas all on the same level of pure rockin spontaneous fun. Setlist Saturday night might've been my favorite of all time!

I can't believe how many redheads saw both shows! Which do you think was the best night!! Wabos got some work to do next weekend!!!
