Official 5/5 Tacoma Meetup/Review Thread

[Zempi]

Thanks I was curious b/c I have 2nd Row as well coming up....some more seats closer to the center though (I think 3/4 or 5/6). Yes it becomes an addiction seeing them. I am so happy they are touring now...Thanks for the uploads!

Row 2, Seat 10 (row was 12 seats). yes, a magic time, Zempi! Have seen them many times since 1980. This show was as amazing as most of them... the entire band was so tight, HIGH on music + the audience, all smiles the whole show. It's a genuine privilege to see The (once again) Mighty =vH= that close in front of you. It's not lost on me. My pals + I all had a splendid evening, partied til dawn, buzzing from the show more than anything. True.

I'm still flyin high from that show. And, it's fun to hangout here + chat about it. So, thanks for chattin, you guys. You're some honestly nice folks, who happen to love VAN HALEN even more than myself. That's a LOT.

[So this is love]

It's really indescribable to see these guys firing on all cylinders.
There's nothing like this band and the way they bring it.

The info on embedding youtube videos here was the LONG version. See the icons right above the space where you are typing replies? 5th icon from the right looks like a couple of frames of a film strip (just to the left of the white icon that looks like a comic dialogue balloon).

Just click on that icon. A space will appear, and you copy and past the URL into that space of the youtube video you want to embed.

Hit ok - done.

Can't wait to check out some of these vids, but it will be a few days. Am borrowing a fambly DSL connection to download all the vids from the Gnashville show....so far have everything up to Beautiful Girls.....by Wednesday or so I should have everything, then it will be time to start editing.

So....when I get done downloading, I will check out this Unchained vid. Sounds like it was a kickass performance.

But I would expect nothing less from the Mighty Van Halen!

First post here after peeping in on the army for longer than my join date says. Maybe last night is getting me to fall out of the closet. Girlfriend and I were second row dead center and I'm still buzzing over the shit I saw. First time ever seeing sound check - shit talked about wolf needing piped in help proved to be total bullshit. Nothing about the show disappointed (maybe the best buy logo next to the album cover getting blasted on the big screen unless i hallucinated but nothing on stage). I somehow managed a couple good shots I'd like to share if I can figure it out. After watching a drunk guy fall off the balcony into some bushes on the way out of the dome (that I did not hallucinate and have photos of) my girl and I dropped into some bar called reds where I put away 5-6 jack and cokes to make sure I'd sleep and met a handful of fellow halen fans. One noticed the Roth n roll shirt I was rocking and turned out to be no other than Mr EJ Kruske (noodles) who was one of the coolest cats we met that evening. Couldn't talk my lady into dropping into the strip club next to the travellodge for a night cap but all in all an epic evening. I'll try to drop a couple pics (at least of the fall guy) if I can manage...

Right on, man! Congrats on your first post, and welcome to the Diamond David Lee Roth Army!

Hey thanks for the info! I was given the extended directions so that's all I knew :-)
