David Lee Roth: Wembley Arena, London
David Sinclair, The Times, 5 March 1991
AN IRREPRESSIBLE showman, David Lee Roth has got where he is primarily by dint of athletic energy, brass neck and sheer force of personality. His limited vocal range has long been obvious, the quality of his writing questionable, but while he was the frontman of Californian hard-rock headliners Van Halen, his talent to thrill and enthral was properly earthed by the weight of musicianship around him. Now, at 35, he is showing signs of turning into a heavy-metal Gary Glitter.
