At the Van Halen concert in St. Louis taking it back yo the 80s. That's what's up!!!! A video posted by Seth Ferranti (@sethferranti) on Jul 26, 2015 at 6:51pm PDT
Van Halen is rockin' Hollywood Casino Amphitheater tonight!— 103.3 KLOU (@1033KLOU) July 27, 2015
Van Halen brought it tonight!
Dave has plenty left in the tank. He performs his way, and tonight that was balls out! Haters gonna hate, but that ain't me!
Oh yeah, and Dirty Movies performed live might just change your whole outlook on life. Well, maybe you just have to be a little off center on Eddies side in row q....
OK Fairwarning.... you were right... lolQuote:

I know you cant get the shows vibe off a you tube video..but listen to that with headphones..Growth is wicked and then comes Al and Wolf with that " blow your pants leg back" intro followed by Eddie and that guitar run..awesomeness..Dave even sings it decently.Quote:

Once Van Halen gets out of the Mid-west Hagar mecca where Sammy gives all the local hacks head and Cabo Wabo fire water, the reviews will get better because it's undeniable the band is interacting and having fun and the show is hardly two separate entities but the hack has to keep the Hagar 'dream' alive lol
I'm loving this momentum for the band and I think its fair to say they have a future. . . as sure as the sinful ass cheeks on Jetstream's avatar.
I have been to the mountaintop and I am one fulfilled motherfucker !
ain't it nuts that people won't even give it a chance?!?!??!?!?! it's the same party feel just with more aches and pains, we're all older. glad you went and supported and enjoyed the band we love.Quote:

I have seen some killer concerts in the last few months , Robin Trower last October , Fleetwood Mac in March , RUSH in May , Judas Priest & Saxon just last month , but this , THIS crushed those shows ! May God Himself bless Van Halen !
Oh , by the way , few have failed to mention this : Kenny Wayne Shepperd kicks all kinds of ass and is the nearly perfect and complimentary warm up to Van Halen .
Oh yeah , no apologies to the moron who was wearing the Cubs t-shirt and was razzed unmercifully . Way wrong move , dude . Hopefully he didn't end up in a corner sucking his thumb in the fetal position .
Hey Green M. What do you think it was about this show that made Wolf say it was the best show of the tour so far? Were there particular stand out moments? Was the crowd just that berzerkly in to it?

It's tough seeing the pictures and video from St Louis... as that's closest the band will play to where I live, although still 300+ miles away. It's a nice venue and have seen many shows there!!Quote:

no way you are that tight. two lawn seats and four beers woulda been $100Quote:

i didn't even think they used books anymoreQuote:

Maybe... I didn't want to pull a WARF on him though. Poor boy has enough challenges without me showing up hat in hand...
:biggrin:
It was a very lively and appreciative audience ! Personally , I was hoarse before we left but on a monster =VH= afterglow the last few days !Quote:

Musically , the deep cuts got the hard core fans nookies off while the " hits " pleased your average daytime classic rock fans . A whole lotta everything for everybody .
