Setlist for the 2012 tour

[ROTH ADDICT]

Some idiot over at links posted a dream setlist for a Van Hagar reunion tour. What a bunch of irrelevant BS! So, with that in mind , I wanted to get you guys thoughts on what you would like to see as a setlist for the next real Van Halen tour. Here's mine-

Eruption
Light Up The Sky
Panama
On Fire
Somebody Got Me A Doctor

Dave welcomes audiance and intros new song-

New Song
Unchained
Cathedral
Secrets
Romeo Delight
Dance The Night Away
Sinner's Swing!

Al Solo- Short Drum Solo Leading Into-

Hot For The Teacher
New Song
Intruder
Pretty Woman
And The Cradle Will Rock
Jamie's Cryin'

Dave solo -Ice Cream Man - short version-Dave solo on accoustic
Take Your Whiskey Home -intro -Dave solo on accoustic
then joined by rest of band when song kicks in

Take Your Whiskey Home
Little Guitars
Drop Dead Legs
Beautiful Girls
Runnin' With The Devil

Eddie Solo- Short Solo leading into-

Mean Street
New Song
House Of Pain
Happy Trails
You Really Got Me

1st Encore
Bottems Up
Jump

2nd Encore
Everybody Wants Some
Ain't Talkin Bout Love

I would like to see them keep the solos short and see Eddie incorporate more into the song intros(Intruder, Cathedral etc.) I also want to see some songs that they didn't do on the last tour and a handful from the new album.

[twonabomber]

just exactly how long do you think this show should be?

[GO-SPURS-GO]

Really! I doubt they could pull off 30+ songs.

[Terry]

Really! I doubt they could pull off 30+ songs.

Agreed.

Perhaps 23 to 28 tunes...and even that is a bit ambitious.

Take away Pretty Woman and Happy Trails and I'm down with that set list. \m/ \m/ It's wishful thinking, though...

[yah]

House of Pain has to be on the next Tour ; it's such an excellent concert song.
Drop-Dead Legs would be interesting live, and of course most of the classics that were not done last time round...

[rocking ron]

It's difficult to make a setlist for the upcoming tour, I mean you cannot please anyone, but this would be my favourite concert :

[SIZE="3"]
Unchained
Hot for teacher
short bass solo-Runnin'with the devil
Dance the night away
'Dave's 'Rap'- New Song
Hear about it later
short guitar solo-House of pain
You're no good
Where have all the good times gone!
New Song
Mean street
Panama
Fools!
New Song
short drum solo-Everybody wants some
Dirtie Movies
Beautifull Girls
Me wise magic
You really got me

1st encore - New Song
Jump

2nd encore - Bottoms up!
Ain't talkin'bout love/Happy Trails

Ok, I know, no Pretty Woman, Ice cream man, Little dreamer, Atomic punk etc etc, otherwise : 6 songs they've never played live and a couple of
tunes we've not heard live for a very long long time.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

just exactly how long do you think this show should be?

add a couple more new songs and it could be a two nite show

[ROTH ADDICT]

just exactly how long do you think this show should be?

It seems like alot but clocks in at 2-2.5 hours because alot of the songs are short. Some bands do play that long. It is all wishful thinking anyway.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

It's nice that we can even talk about a new setlist, as far as I'm concerned...

But let's critique, shall we ??

- Eruption to START the show ? That dog ain't huntin'..... IMHO, they need to get Unchained back to the top of the show....

- You'll never see On Fire in concert again. Dave simply doesn't have the pipes for that anymore....

Other than that, like the others have said, it's way too long... UNLESS they put an intermission in there, like Rush has done recently..... Then you might see a longer setlist....

[Matt White]

Cut the solos and I don't really care what they play...ANYTHING from CLASSIC VAN HALEN gets my vote...

Hell...they could play DIVER DOWN...front to back...& I'd be out of my mind....

Just...No BASS solo...NO DRUM solo...play ERUPTION...and get on with it....

[Terry]

These tunes, it'd be safe to say, are pretty much a given for any hypothetical future tour dates a la VH w/ Roth:

Jump
Unchained
Running With The Devil
Dance The Night Away
Ice Cream Man
Everybody Wants Some!!
Panama
Ain't Talking 'Bout Love
Jamie's Crying
Beautiful Girls
Romeo Delight

That's about half a concert right there.

Beyond those signature, ultra popular classic tunes (am not saying I'd personally miss the band not playing Jump, but realistically they're gonna play it, and probably most of the others above as well) there's a lot of room for mixing up the setlist.

Any of the following could be inserted and the band could probably pull them off:

Secrets
Hear About It Later
Sinner's Swing!
DOA
Girl Gone Bad
House Of Pain
Feel Your Love Tonight
Drop Dead Legs
Somebody Get Me A Doctor
Dirty Movies
Push Comes To Shove
Take Your Whiskey Home
In A Simple Rhyme


That's around 25 tunes, and even that would be a stretch.


Yes, yes, there are the tunes like Little Dreamer, I'm The One, Meanstreet, Atomic Punk, but the band already did those last time around.


There's tunes I'd really like to hear from them live again, like On Fire...Outta Love Again...Light Up The Sky...vocally, they have either too many screams for Roth to even hope of pulling off, or in the case of Light Up The Sky the verses have too many words for Roth to be expected to reasonably pull off before keeling over.
