Good VH boots are few & far between, which is a shame. To bad EVH is nuts, he is sitting on some nice DLR era stuff. Full pro-shot Fair Warning tour, for instance - anyone remember the early days of MTV when Unchained & So This Is Love was in heavy rotation? Hit me back in the winter, I plan on cleaning up my library, and I have some decent VH stuff laying around.

UBG Warning: DLR era VH live is very loose & messy. DLR is not a note-for-note singer. Not even close.

IMO, the Sammy era is much tighter and musically tight, and Sammy is by far the superior singer – but DLR is a better showman. I would never classify DLR as a singer.
