Hagar Bests Roth in Pavilion Show

By Leanne Potts
Of the Journal

And the winner is ... Sammy Hagar.

In the battle of the ex-Van Halen frontmen, Hagar left David Lee Roth in the
dust.

The two have taken turns opening on the tour; at the Journal Pavilion in
Albuquerque, it was Hagar's turn.

Both relied heavily on Van Halen classics, which was the point of the tour
