Are we one step closer to a reunion of the David Lee Roth‘s classic line-up solo band? Guitarist Steve Vai, bassist Billy Sheehan, drummer Gregg Bissonette and keyboardist Brett Tuggle joined forces for a short live set without frontman David Lee Roth at the Ultimate NAMM Night at the Hilton Hotel Ballroom in Anaheim, California, USA on January 26, 2019. Joining the foursome was singer Jeff Scott Soto (Journey, Talisman, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, W.E.T., Sons of Apollo) who seemed more than capable to handle the lead vocals.

Back on November 25, 2015, Vai, Sheehan, Bissonette and Tuggle were set to reunite to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the group’s first album Eat ‘Em And Smile and play with Steel Panther frontman Michael Starr handling the lead vocals live at the Ultimate Jam Night featured at the Lucky Strike Live In Hollywood, California, USA.  Roth was scheduled to do a surprise appearance but the venue was closed down at the last minute by a fire marshall due to overcrowding.

Both Vai and Sheehan have since publicly indicated that they would be up for a reunion with Roth if the singer wanted to do it.
