A rare David Lee Roth sighting happened at the 145th Scottish Gathering And Games in Pleasanton, Ca.
Doug Lyle, a loyal Van Halen fan- had a chance encounter with the Van Halen frontman, who had a dog entered in the sheepdog trials.
Lyle heard the voice – and that distinctive DLR laugh – and suspected the guy behind the dark goatee and sunglasses was Roth; after considering his options, he approached the ‘stranger’ and struck up a conversation.
“I asked him if he was still with VH and if they were doing anything more,” said Lyle. “He gave me a knowing smile and said, “You’ll be hearing from us in the next 7-8 months”. He seemed very sincere… almost like it was a promise.”
Check out Lyle’s full story – and his photo with Dave – at the VHND here.
Great story. He wrote it so well. I could feel his emotion. I admire his guts to actually say something. And isn't that always the way with a celebrity encounter...you wish you had more time and said this or that etc. I can hardly wait 7 or so months!
