Chesney plays Sammy Hagar's birthday party.
By Neil Haislop
CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO Wednesday Oct.13.2004 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Kenny Chesney was really welcomed in style to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for
Sammy Hagar's birthday party, when Hagar met Kenny and Co. at the airport with a tray full of margaritas...that they drank while going through
customs!
"Then he took us 25 miles into the desert to his place, which was incredible -- like something out of a 'Mad Max' movie, only cooler," says Kenny.
His first night in, Chesney got to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers flex their funk/rock groove pretty hard, "And man, can those guys play," he marveled.
Chesney showed that he could play too, three hours worth.
After turning in 90 minutes of straight Kenny classics, Hagar and Van Halen bass player, Michael Anthony, joined Chesney and electric guitarist
Clayton Mitchell for 90 more minutes of "everything from Hank Williams and Johnny Cash to 'Rock Candy' and 'Bad Motor Scooter.' It was incredible --
and man, Sammy said Clayton played those songs as well as Eddie did back in the '80s, so it was a BIG night for my guitar player! No doubt," Kenny
says proudly. "Three hours... I didn't know I had it in me, but we rocked -- and it was awesome."
