This is awesome!! Thank you for posting this!

Love Dave but right from here his character started to get old and decline. He still got the energy and charisma, but people were not so much into it anymore.

This was Dave's last bit of success as a solo artist. On the next A Little Ain't Enough Tour it was cancelled because tickets weren't selling. Then he basically became an underground act.

@@bobowrathsovine. a few shows got cancelled , but the majority sold fine . The music scene was definitely undergoing a major shift at this time though and Dave’s commercial fortunes never recovered after A Lil Ain’t enough

Don’t forget the bad luck that was going with that tour as his guitarist Jason Becker would be gone at his prime due to health reasons. Dave quickly auditioning for a replacement and hitting the road, music scene changing, the writing was clearly on the wall.
