Amex presale - showed up in the "Waiting Room" 15 minutes early. Best available, row 49.
They must be holding back a bunch for "VIP".
Oh well, I've always wanted to see a show at Red Rocks. Has anyone been to this venue before?
Is row 49 (I'm pretty much dead center) a decent spot?

I don't want to start making sense or anything, but done right a lease is actually the smarter play.

The math is exactly the same if negotiated properly and maybe to your advantage versus purchasing and you can walk away if you hate the car

VAiN

If all things are the same I'd rather have something with value that I can roll into the next one if I want to unload it after 2-3 years.

If all things are the same I'd rather have something with value that I can roll into the next one if I want to unload it after 2-3 years.

But that is all smoke and mirrors. I would LOVE to sell you a car, lol.

After 3 or 4 years in a lease the car is worth pretty much exactly whatever the residual is on the car if you negotiated the deal properly.

Not sure how anything can be better than that...you can pay what the asset is worth or walk away by handing over the keys

If you buy it, and you hate it you are in exactly the same boat but have to get 75 cents on the dollar at the dealer if you are lucky and likely get hosed in the process. All you have done is taken ownership of the massive depreciation in value in the first two years....all because somehow people think they "own" it and that is better

Its all math.

Romeo Delight
04-12-2015, 01:55 PM
The way they trick you is you think the new truck is worth 40k...when in actual fact if you just took the time to negotiate properly could get it for 32....when you trade in your last vehicle they do you a "solid" by giving you 15k for your old truck when its probably worth 19, but ask the manager for a special discount just for you, so you get the new truck for Dealer cost at 37k...you just lost 9k but you feel like you got one over on them.

Why I would never, ever buy a car new. Does not matter who makes it. Leasing does have it drawbacks like staying under certain mileage and "mandatory maintenance" but seeing how most cars being made today are more disposable than a Katy Perry tampon, I found leasing to be more affordable than buying.

Yeah but go see Ed play. He has been killing it lately. Dave might have a few good jokes. He was always better at that than singing anyways.

Kristy
04-12-2015, 02:16 PM
No, no, no.

Ed needs to cut the umbilical cord of guilt with Dave.

That's numero 1

Ed needs to hire KATY PERRY as the new singer of Van Halen which is no biggie since Van Halen has not been Van Halen since yes, you guessed it 1985

Number 3 is a new album with Katy doing songs about anything from F A T Wolf Boy to kissing girls and pussy. Who really cares? Not like Dave lyrically wrote anything worth a shit so no issue there.

THEN A TOUR! A god damn proper tour with dancing sharks and lions and Illuminati symbols

Van Katy plays the next NFL/domestic violence/wife beaters Superbowl.

Ed calls it a day.

I could live with that.

So why can't you cretins?

Ok...let's dumb it down...if the dealer isn't saying no to your price, then you are being had.

Always walk away, leave the lot and don't sit down for the hours long "I have to ask my manager".

The last car I bought the only time I was at the dealer was to grab my vehicle...basically put out an RFP of sorts to all of the dealerships within an hour of me and let the sharks come to me...

04-12-2015, 02:30 PM
Fuck it..my 2 cents..leasing is ok if you always want a payment and a different car..I had ( and still do have ) my last car for 13 years..its been paid off for 8..runs great..no payments gave me time to save up a down payment for a new car..which will be paid off in 6 years..no more payments..

Which is also great if you are on a budget. I would not say a 2014 Malibu is great car but it does function as means to get from point A to point B and back again. That's all I need it for. Usually on warmer weather days, I bike and/or take Light Rail where I need to go. Owning a car anymore is a royal pain in the ass.

Rolling Stone magazine likes Red Rocks.

Rolling Stone magazine has ruled the best amphitheater in the United States is Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison.

The list will be released Friday, but Washington, D.C., radio station WTOP got an advance copy and reported which venues made the cut. Red Rocks was judged to be better than even New York's Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl, which were Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.

Rolling Stone has an ongoing "Venues That Rock" series and so far has determined which are the best clubs in America, and which are the best big rooms. Belly Up in Aspen, the Bluebird Theatre in Denver and the Fox Theater in Boulder are included in the list of the best clubs.

Seshmeister
04-16-2015, 09:22 AM
This dramatic natural venue just outside Denver – named after the two huge boulders that frame its borders – can elevate a good show into a totally unforgettable night. With the exception of Madison Square Garden, no U.S. venue of this size has such an amazing pedigree: The Beatles in 1964, Jimi Hendrix in 1968, Bruce Springsteen in 1978, and so many more. Pearl Jam played Red Rocks exactly once, in 1995, and they still haven't stopped talking about it. "It was just stunning," says guitarist Mike McCready. "We were never able to get there [again]. I don't know why. I want to go back."

Capacity: 9,450

Fun Fact: The amphitheatre has been officially open since 1941, but the first Red Rocks concerts were actually staged here much earlier – on a temporary platform in 1906.

I see your point, and I guess that's true of you dot pay attention and let them get one on you. I also suppose it's different with different cars.. holding their value, etc.. But as you said - all things being equal I'd rather not be paying into something that I have to give back. Essentially a long rental. Math isn't my thing, and maybe I'm wrong.

This conversation is boring and not funny...but, worth pursuing.

Think of it this way...a lease gives you an option to leave if the car sucks...better to cut your losses than keep paying.

if it is a great car, the residual payment is exactly what the car is worth at that time anyway if you negotiated properly...then you can get a loan to take care of the rest or perhaps you saved that amount up whatever...better than committing to the 500 or 600 a month for 4-5 years...you hedged your best with a 350 payment for 3 years and pay exactly what it is worth after the lease is up.

Zero risk

Just so you know... VH just released more tickets in reserved 1 and 2. At 4:30PM 7/16, you can get a single ticket in the 5th row for $211.25.
I know you said $70-$100, but damn, that's a good price for row 5. Or you could get row 19 for $184.
Just chase the links from van-halen.com

Back to the point. I upgraded my tickets this morning (moved to row 14).
I'm trying to sell the original 2 as a pair (row 49 pretty much dead center).
If I can't sell them as a pair, I'll get one of them to you in your price range. IM if still interested.

Audio is up at Dime, coupled with a pretty shitty review.
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=534768



Notes: We'd previously seen the mighty Van Halen in 2007 in Chicago, then again in early 2008 in Denver and figured that was all we needed to see with the Dave-led lineup; we skipped their 2012 Denver area performance. But, when they announced the 2015 tour with a stop at Red Rocks, both my wife and I agreed that the venue choice made one more Van Halen performance a necessity for us.

But, the truth is: at $185+ per ticket, I'm not sure that it was worth it. We got rained on the entire trip up to Morrison, and the rain fell all through the opener, Kenny Wayne Shepherd (due to the rain, we didn't try to record him). Fortunately, it stopped just before VH took the stage. But, while they have a lot of great songs, virtually all of them were ruined with mid-song breakdowns where Dave just TALKED. I've read other comments from earlier performances on this tour criticizing him
for this, but, I didn't realize how seriously this messes up the flow of the show until I saw it for myself. I mean, I will tell you that the band had the crowd eating out of their hands - until the first breakdown during Everybody Wants Some. At first, I thought, 'this is cool, kind of like The Doors, where he's just freestylin',' but, by the time he did it again during Feel Your Love Tonight, the crowd was definitely getting restless. By the time he got to the story about him and Ozzy during
the 1978 tour, people were starting to leave - the show was REALLY running long with Dave's constant rapping, and it was killing the momentum.

When they broke down AGAIN during Unchained - one of my fave VH songs - I decided I'd had enough and went to the bathroom (clipping the mike to my wife's shirt and handing her the recorder - this occurred at the start of Somebody Get Me a Doctor as well). When they broke down YET AGAIN during You Really Got Me, Dave even says 'have you ever wondered why there are all
these slow spots in these songs?' I heard someone behind me yell 'NOOOO!'

Eddie launched into his extended solo, and at that point, my wife was ready to call it quits, but, I convinced her that we were near the end - I'm a guitar player, but, 10 minutes of public masterbation on the guitar does not impress me nearly as much at 44 as it did when I was 17; especially when EVERY. SINGLE. SONG. has already been spread out past the breaking point.
I know that there are a lot of guitar players that wait breathlessly for Eddie to break into his solo, but, the screaming banshees around us notwithstanding, there were many more people streaming to the restrooms or for the exits. At this late point in his career, I think Eddie would do well to understand that "less is more."

Some good things - Alex is an amazing drummer; having seen mostly over 50 acts of late, I was very impressed that he does not seem to have lost anything, and he kept the tempos up. Wolf is a stud on bass and backing vocals - my wife also plays bass guitar and she was totally blown away by his playing. I'd rather have Michael Anthony but...blah blah blah. Also: Ed looks good and sounds good - his playing was top notch, and he had quite a bit of energy. I truly like Dave in Van Halen, and his "singing" does not bother me as much as some - my wife was totally annoyed that he doesn't seem to sing his own lyrics! But, seriously, Dave - lose 90% of the during-song chit-chat.

My take is that Van Halen has a super strong set of 90 or so minutes of Roth-era material that they ballooned out past 2 hours, which left our group ready for the end when it arrived - and, from what I saw, quite a few people around us had left by the end as well. That's my 2 cents - your mileage may vary. I have at least two copies of every Van Halen album and know them all pretty well. I've seen them (and taped) now 3 times and collect all of their shows up through the Hagar-led 2004 reunion - but, this show left me feeling like I've seen them for the last time. Little Guitars is my favorite VH song, and I was delighted to see it back in the set, and the rarities were OK, too - though, placing more obscure songs like In A Simple Rhyme and Dirty Movies before Dave's LOOOONG story probably isn't ideal. Lots and lots of bathroom breaks were observed during that stretch.

It was nice that the rain stopped, but, the wind and breeze continued throughout, which was throwing the mix around the whole time - this is reflected in the recording. Also, there was one super annoying woman behind me to my right who insisted on screaming - off key - pretty much the entire time; by the end, I had a pounding headache from her screeching, which might have
also had an impact on mine and my wife's enjoyment of the concert. By and large, I kept quiet, though, you do hear my wife and I talk a little; generally, all things considered, the recording is not bad and a pretty accurate capture of the show we saw.

One last question, that my wife asked me about: so, what does all this mean for the Van Hagar material? Does VH just continue to pretend that those songs don't exist and never play them again? That's what I think happens, but, my wife made the great point that 'there's at least 10-15 songs from that period that get played on the radio that people remember and want to hear - doesn't Eddie, at some point, have to bring those back???'

And that reviewer is fucked. The mix wasn't off due-to wind. What fucking wind? It had to have been @8:45-9:00PM when the storms cleared out and it was more humid than usual but what fucking wind? A light breeze after a thunderstorm is a "wind?" I've heard better sound at other shows (and better lights, too) but I though Eddie sounded clear even if he looked like he was winging at times. Roth was just deplorable. Most of the time he looked lost like an old man who walked away from a nursing home. If there was anything off-setting about the mix it was more likely the sound guy fighting with Roth's voice all night. It did hurt my ears at times but yeah, I'll take that over any Schleppy tune. Al was on top form and I never thought of him as being much of a drummer. But you could tell it was Al and Ed who were carrying the weight and doing their best to make up for Roth's fuckiness.

Still I enjoyed that show even if I didn't not care much for Roth and his annoying antics. 'She's The Woman' was the highlight. As least for me. Would not go to see them again - at least with Roth at the helm.

And there was nothing, nothing wrong with the sound mix that night.

Could I trouble you to offer up a bit more of your experience that night? Congrats on the car, by the way.

It was a dark and stormy night. Parking fees were atrocious as ever. Then I had to wade through the throngs of endless white trash most of white have not seen their teeth since 1985. I found may way to my seat as Kenny Wayne had just left the stage. I felt hopeless. The seat was cold, wet from the steady rain that did it best to wash as many of the white trash that surrounded me. For many, it was their first bath in years. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach as the lights when dim. When they came back on and blinded the stage my worst fears were realized. There he was. David Lee Roth - your homoerotic fantasy - receding hairline, drooling like spastic before the anti-Parksinson drugs kicked in. "Oh GAWD!" I cried to myself. "He isn't going to sing is he?" I died a little that night.

The rest I only tell to my therapist.

I'll also share this although although completely irrelevant. Through the breaks that was the beauty of Eddie's fantastic playing that blasted away the storms I swear I heard the pleas of a rich white boy from Cherry Creek crying for help.

Sadly, that's exactly the response I expected. Not sure why I asked. Avoiding predictability, not one of your strong suits.
