Driving down from GA to catch the show. Looking forward to getting wasted before the show.

[Golden AWe]

I saw "Florida gig" advertised in the Capitals @ Panthers game on tv. They also played Tattoo during the match! Is this the "Florida gig"? Or is Tampa closer?

I think we are predictable in ways...you wanna see Dave's ass and shirtless body, and I want to hear LUTS...other's have other song choices, and perhaps body parts...me personally, I could care less if they came out in snowsuits, as long as they tear shit up! :killer:

I'll take some of whatever David Lee Roth was drinking or smoking before the show. He doesn't give a crap abt ANYTHING right now. #VanHalen— Oh, Ashley (@TheMissRuiz) April 17, 2012

[Light Em' Up!]

LOL! I wonder where he's been?

Last I saw he switched over to LUTS....okay, there's 3 times now that I have said it!!!

David Lee Roth DEFINITELY just did a split on stage. I can't make this up.... "I ain't mad at him" as @djgoofywhitekid would say #VanHalen— Oh, Ashley (@TheMissRuiz) April 17, 2012

[78/84 guy]

I don't think she is making fun of him. She's pissed that he doesn't have a real job like her and is having the time of his life & can do the splits at 57 or however old he is.

[Momshell]

That Oh, Ashley chick shouldn't be at the show. She's spent the last half hour making fun of Dave and the show.

I can't tell if she's making fun of him or if she wants to sleep with him.

[damngoodtimes]

Hey, Catfish. What's up? Pick any fights with Alex lately?

We really need to have someone inside - for all we know, they could be playing LUTS (there - now I said it!)

Love the pic on the screen - just put a huge smile on my face. Amazing - Dave's smile/laugh is even contagious through a pic on a computer screen!

[damngoodtimes]

I'm still hoping they replace ICM with "Damn Good" ---- Dave, Ed, and Wolf all sitting on stools with acoustics ---- photos of '78-'84 playing on the jumbo screen ---- TEARS, PEOPLE !!!

I've had that same thought. How fuckin' sweet would that be. But can't see Ed doing a Vai tune.

[damngoodtimes]

don't forget Sinner's Swing! and no shirt!! (for me) :)

is it possible to vicariously enjoy something like that for somebody else across one's own sexual orientation? hmmm......

(shit, no metaphysics before happy hour)

Ed won't do a Vai tune ----- but he'll do a shitty Spamborita solo song in concert ??

LOL - that's why I wrote (for me).....you can take a pic and not at all enjoy it but post it for me (and the other ladies here ) to enjoy - use my hand, I won't look!!!

Get that shit outta here!!! Scared the shit out of me!

Ed's rule has always been and will always be...whoever is in the band right fuckin' now is the greatest and everyone else is dead to him. Great thing for all of us, he's got the right guy in the band right now.

[TJMKID]

Get that shit outta here!!! Scared the shit out of me!


Sorry!

Just trying to prove a point ---- if Ed will do a Spambo song at a show --- he surely would do a Vai tune "Damn Good' and make it his own !!!

[damngoodtimes]

use my hand, I won't look!!! Well played, young lady. Well played!

Yeah but you're forgetting that Vai AND Dave wrote "Damn Good" ---- so by your criteria Ed should have no qualms about playing it.

Besides that ---- it's a kick ass heartfelt song about the Mighty Halen glory daze!

[Momshell]

Well played, young lady. Well played!

Thank you very much! And thank you especially for the "young"!

[Momshell]

It would be nice, but I won't hold my breath. If they played that I'd be crying so hard they'd have to carry me out...shit, I cried at the end of my last show during Jump - imagine if it was Damn Good?!

[damngoodtimes]

Thank you very much! And thank you especially for the "young"!

I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid.

[Momshell]

I guess it's a safe bet that the show's over now. No big surprises. I gotta go to sleep. It's been another fun evening with you guys. See you in the am - with YouTubes!

[TJMKID]

It would be nice, but I won't hold my breath. If they played that I'd be crying so hard they'd have to carry me out...shit, I cried at the end of my last show during Jump - imagine if it was Damn Good?!


I'm with ya ---- there'd be sniffles all through the arena ---- tears would flow like the Nile !!


YEAH WE WAS ACTING LIKE A COUPLE OF KIDS ---- GOOD TO REMEMBER ---- YOU KNOW THAT IT IS

you know I'd love to hear it, given my handle and all, but I'm not holding my breath. I never really got the sense that Ed cared much for Vai. Also, I'm pretty sure that Dave and the brothers have an agreement: none of my solo stuff in exchange for no Van Hagar. Deal!

[Momshell]

I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid.

:biggrin:

[katina]

Thank you everybody. :clap:

Full Bug, Hail, GGB, HEH? I just got home, Anybody know?

[Light Em' Up!]

(shit, no metaphysics before happy hour)

I'm thinking it is totally possible to do that damngoodtimes! You can do that especially for Momshell....as for me, you can just vibe that LUTS gets played!

[IceCreamBlondie]

Thanks man! I'll be hitting 6 total, counting New Orleans in June...

You lucky guy!!!

[Light Em' Up!]

Full Bug, Hail, GGB, HEH? I just got home, Anybody know?

All we know is that Momshell is disappointed because there were no shirtless bibs tonight :bigwink:

[IceCreamBlondie]

Momshell is my pick for newbie of the year for sure!

Agreed!!! :clap:

[IceCreamBlondie]

or at least Dave shirtless! (sorry...couldn't contain myself! :))

Yeah Yeah..that's right! And how about slightly pantless when he sings Tattoo?

[Sensible Shoes]

Yeah Yeah..that's right! And how about slightly pantless when he sings Tattoo?

Just take it all off and go nekkid.

[DONNIEP]

I'm still hoping they replace ICM with "Damn Good" ---- Dave, Ed, and Wolf all sitting on stools with acoustics ---- photos of '78-'84 playing on the jumbo screen ---- TEARS, PEOPLE !!!

If they played Damn Good...I'd just about lose my fucking mind. God help the people around me at the show... :gulp:

[Light Em' Up!]

Just take it all off and go nekkid.

You girls are funny!!!

[Light Em' Up!]

If they played Damn Good...I'd just about lose my fucking mind. God help the people around me at the show... :gulp:

I'd be in this state of mind if they played LUTS...good God, just let it happen!!!

[SNIPER]

Um, you are sitting in the same room as me. You can just tell me. hehe :gossip:

[IceCreamBlondie]

If they played Damn Good...I'd just about lose my fucking mind. God help the people around me at the show... :gulp:

Agreed, plus:

If they would play Damn Good, In a Simple Rhyme and Stay Frosty, I'd really lose my fucking mind too.....

[IceCreamBlondie]

Vain, thanks a ton for the pics!

And thanks all for the conversation...!!!!

It's like being there without being there.....I'll take that until they come to LA! :clap:

[SNIPER]

They play damn good at every show they play. :biggrin:

[Light Em' Up!]

Um, you are sitting in the same room as me. You can just tell me. hehe :gossip:

I think I just told you that Momshell and Shoes would be thrilled for a strip tease from Dave :-)

[katina]

You girls are funny!!!

You just made me feel young again!!! thank you very much :thumb:

[DONNIEP]

I'd be in this state of mind if they played LUTS...good God, just let it happen!!!

Normally I wouldn't do this in a review thread, but this is about as close as you can get right now and I thought you'd appreciate it. :gulp:

[VAiN]

Holy shit, so much fun! VH gave me 4 amazing nights in Florida and one hell of a send off show! What can I say, the band looked and sounded amazing. All smiles all night! Dave was in top form. Nothing but yeah!!!!

[RealTwisted]

Eddie's opinion of Vai: "Just a gun hired by Dave to rip off his shit"

You're welcome! And don't apologize!!! If that's your song then that's cool! Hey, they may play it - stranger things have happened in the VH camp during the past 4 months... :)

It's been done at sound check, so obviously it's being tossed around, which I am good with :thumb:

[VAiN]

I got a very nice video of Eddie's solo. I'll post it when I get back home tomorrow night. Definitely the best one of the Florida run, IMO..

they sound pretty damn good in these videos......Dave's voice sounds stronger than a few weeks ago.

[Zing!]

His best vocal yet for SGMD? He's getting a lot more swagger in his step, too - a little less scripted dance-floor routines and just grooving to the music.

STF up and let the guitar-man talk, indeed!

@2:34 break reminded me how when Ed & Al use to go back & forth...

[azel]

Travelled from the UK for this show and was second row centre for the most amazing experience since my only other VH experience (WACF tour '80).
Met lots of cool fans, one in particular.......Vain. Really cool, generous fella! Thanks for looking after me my man, but you do know........you are still a ***!!! ;o)

[azel]
