Latest Dave concert in Minnesota

[ctiger2]

I agree with 4771eddievan. I liked the show. Beleive me. I flipping hate Van Faggar. Roth is the MAN. But, to be honest...his voice is gone. Which is too bad cause I grew up listening to him. To me there are only 6 Van Halen albums...the first 6. It's just too bad that Roth's voice is shot. I personally confirmed there will be no Roth Van Halen reunion because Roth's voice couldn't handle singinig 3 nights per week. No Way! There is a reason there has not been a reunion. Dave's voice is pretty much gone..... : (

LMAO! I had to quote that line. Cracked me up.

Roth ARMY suits us just fine. Sums up the vibe here.

you guys were at the same show? Cuz 4771 said "Daves voice seems ok thought there were a couple of spots where it broke". And you are saying his voice was gone. Which was it?

My beef with 4771 has nothing to do with what he said about the show. I was not there. It was the way he compared it to Van Hagar.

FUCK THAT !!!

[4771eddievan]

all I said was that his voice broke a couple of times and that the backing vocals were way loud. I gave it a good rating, but some of the Dave aura had worn off for me. That could be a crap local, a boring crowd, harsh security, whatever. To me some of it was that Dave seemed a bit canned. It's not the end of the world - not every show is amazing or great - it was good/ok.
The VH comparison was cause that is what everyone here does. Half of the freakin' posts on this forum are about VH. Dave has been out of the band for 2 decades.

Another remark that make SHEEP so easy to spot.

[interceptor]

I was at the show....first off, let me say that MAJOR props are due to Dave's band, particularly Ray Luzier (on the heavy artillery, as Dave would say), and Brian Young. Every time I see these guys they amaze me at the way they total do justice for classic VH music. The show was typical of what we've already seen in '03, pretty much the same showmanship and setlist. Dave was slightly more talkative this time around, which was pretty amusing. I got a chuckle or two out of his "stand up". All in all, I won't bore you with another review. We're all fanatics, and this is what we expect: Dave was Dave, and his band was stellar. Enough said. Anyone speak Pakistani???

See? Presenting your opinion in a reasonable, non-insulting manner wasn't so bad, now was it?

[interceptor]

By the way, I forgot to mention, the guy who earlier posted that security was a pain....I saw them around, but it didn't stop the people around me from taking pics. I bet about 5 people near me (5th row, off to left by rhythm guitarist Hikata?) were shooting away through the whole show. In fact, I swear Dave even posed for 1 or 2.

some things seem to take all day...lol

[4771eddievan]

my review was reasonable from the start but that is neither here nor there. Thanks everyone for the creative and vulgar rips - good material that I am sure to steal. Some of you might be a bit sensitive but fandom will make you do that.

[4771eddievan]

My beef bout the security was that there was a huge gap between the front row and the stage and the guy was patrolling the area - kinda a kill joy. I would argue that my review was always very FOX news like - "Fair and Balanced". (conservative red state fuck nuts - I digress) Thanks to those who attended and largely had my back. To my detractors - keep rippin on this DLRarmy virgin. You made it fun and I can't wait to hear more clever references to my weight, to my intellegence, to me being a secret agent poser of some sort, etc... Keep on keepin on

Your review of the show is in the minority and that is why you are singled out and ripped on. It's very doubtful that this is a reliable opinion since I and everyone else reviewing the show gave it a raving stellar performance, two thumbs up, rim jobbing, knob polishing, flag waving, ball tickling, pussy pounding, nipple tweaking giblet dropping good time! So thanks for your "opinion" and your "unbiased" review... move along.

damn, and I missed it!

(good call on flag waving! )

[Ravenheart313]

I made a comment on security also, What I meant by what I said was that I was in Tier B Row K Seat 160 I tried to get down to the next level to get near the stage and take some better pictures. This was not going to happen. It was Mystic Lake security... I would have pushed my way past and got the pictures I wanted but didn't want to risk being carried off to some burial ground and never seen again... We'll have none of that. Besides I got some good shots and Dave Rocked the house.
All and all a good night.

Reasonable...not me!

First off, 4771eddievan, fuck off. don't come into my house and insult my momma.

Second, I was at that show, front row. I was standing against the stage the whole show. Security walked right up to the guy next to me who was holding a digital camera up in the air taking pictures and said not a word. Everyone in the place was friendly that I encountered.

Third, Dave and his band kicked so much ass theyre still cleaning it off the walls. No, he can't still scream every note of RWTD, but he is vocally more sound now than he has been in 15 years. He's got the scream when he needs it. He's singing more of the lyrics to the songs than he has most of his career. He forgot no words. And his voice is still plenty good, and is still the voice of Van Halen and beyond

Fourth, his stage presence was great. He came over to the crowd often and looked into our eyes. He looked me in the eye several times during the show. He put the mic down into the crowd several times, and as far as his shtick, I didn't go to a Dave show to get Pearl Jam. I went to get a Dave show. I wouldn't expect anything less.

Fifth, No, he didn't sign autographs for people sticking stuff up to him out of the crowd. He decided to sing and put on a show instead. He could have done a Hagar and skip most of the song signing t-shirts, but I kinda appreciate that we got a show instead.

Dave is a Legend. I was honored to be in the same room with him. And the onlything wrong with the venue was that there were too many fucking sheep in there distracting the Roth Fans.

[diamondsgirl]

Great post!

[scottydabodi]

TwoFools, I'd vote for ya again if I could Brutha!!! Great Post!!

PS -Nice Avatar...

[Dave IS VH]

I went to the show and it kicked ass.

I was Teir A Row D, right in the middle I do have pics I can try to posts. Does anyone have any auto of the concert they can post? Dave had some great lines and I would like MP3's of them.

I agree 100%. Great fuckin' show. Dave's voice was better than ever. Security was nonexistent on the right side off the stage. Everyone was bellied up. It was a free for all. Dave grabbed some hands (okay only women) and made plently of eye contact (okay, mostly women). The stories were hilarious and not the same old schtick. The crowd was a strange mix; but only because of the venue being a casino and members get discounts and shit. Whatever. Who was paying attention to the crowd? Sorry, when Dave's in the room; I don't see anyone else.

[4771eddievan]

one more time. I said the show was good. All I said about Dave's schtick was that it was the same - I found it funny and amusing, but I heard that Dick/Strawberry joke years ago. Do you folks even want any review of the show?? Don't kill the messenger. Like I said before, if you all want to sit in a circle and jerk off to pics of Dave and then rave about it - go ahead. I remember when fans used to be demanding and actually care about what they heard (oh yeah, one more time - I said the show was GOOD).

[4771eddievan]

what do I even say to a dumbass that speaks like Comic book guy?? Do you spend just 23 hours a day on the net or the whole 24? At least your inane banter is bringing a smile to my face.

[Loki]

thine endless bandinage is a testimony to thine folly. cur that thou art, bow before the army, dog son of a serving wench. thou art truly a flea among stallions. away with thee.

[diamondsgirl]

LMAO @ Loki and the NAMBLA reference.

[Loki]

[4771eddievan]

boy, wonder how he knows about NAMBLA. That last post was a real good one. Does the Loki name come from The Legend of Zelda on your playstation?? Fuckin' wizard wannabee....
