Twice in the last few years I've gotten to see Dave in concert up close and personal because there were only a couple hundred people in attendance. Everybody had a front row seat. And then Van Hagar came to town and they could only fill 70 percent of a 10,000 seat arena. What was worse was there were no chicks at the concert, and the average age must have been over 40. Dave put on the better show, even though he didn't have the expensive stage production that Van Hagar had. The reality though is that he couldn't have been making much money with that few people in attendance. And I read the Van Hagar 2004 tour LOST money. It will be interesting to see what venues Van Halen plays this summer and how many people show up. Yeah, people on these boards will go, but are the young kids interested? A lot of the 1980's fans have grown up and grown old and going to a concert might not be their idea of a fun time anymore. Is Warner Bros. interested in a new record with the classic lineup? If this tour makes a profit, they'll resign VH and we'll get a new album... if the tour bombs, nobody will be interested in the band. It's all about money.
