David Lee Roth on The Tonight Show 6/6/06
Please tell me somone saw this. 
I saw that he was going to be on and watched because I thought "he might do something wierd." I never expected this. It was David Lee's "southern side of Van Halen" -- a bluegrass band performing "Jump" with a fiddle as the synth lead and David Lee one-uping any parody band. Pat Boone doing Metallica has nothing on David Lee doing...well, Van Halen.

When I first heard Jay announcing him I was like WTF? Then the music started(JUMP) and it was really weird. But after a while I got into it. I like Bluegrass and the backing musicians were really good. The Banjo and the Steel/slide guitar players handled Eddie's guitar and Synth solos and it sounded really cool. Dave was Dave and that's all you need.

The music was good and it was an interesting twist to do a bluegrass version of "Jump" but David Lee Roth himself gave me the creeps. He was really bizarre.

Hopefully they will rerun it next week during their overnight block.

Yep, I caught it. Roth is still Roth (huge grin and all).
For the curious, you can hear a sampling of the album here:
