Fuck. Another night of a VH concert I am not at. Another night at the computer wearing out my refresh button to hear how much they are kicking everyone elses ass. Makes me sad.

Misery Love Company my friend...at least I saw them in Indy...so I can close my eyes and pretend.

LOL....not sure if that is the best part. It's like a chocolate chip cookie. What's the best? The sugar or the choc chips?

But NO HAGAR is more like leaving the pickled beets out of the cookies.

David Lee Roth is for sure one of the ultimate entertainers ever!! A storytelling entertainer!!! LOVE IT

[Sweet Irony]

Dance The Night Away!!!! OMG They sound incredible...

Could you imagine if VH started with Unchained and Runnin'...brief pause....Ed is on the keyboards playin Love Comes Walkin In....it would make Altamont (Stones) look like a Cub Scout meeting.

I've always dug everything about "I'll Wait." Brave departure. Dave sounds great on it and Ed's solo is one of my all time faves.

[Momshell]

Links is reporting they just played Hang 'Em High.....

Holy shit!

[ELVIS]

Hang 'Em High is a good choice...

As long as Dave doesn't totally ad-lib and ruin it...

[ALMOSTsaved]

Links is reporting they just played Hang 'Em High.....

Saw it on Twitter as well.

[VanHalenI]

jesus titty fuckin' Christ!!!!! Really Hang Em High!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Terry]

They've brought out, at various points so far on the tour:

Hear About It Later
The Full Bug
Women In Love
Outta Love Again
Girl Gone Bad

Keeping the setlists slightly varied...can't wait to see them next month.

[Sweet Irony]

Panama!!!!

[Momshell]

Great - one more night I won't be sleeping enough - will wind up in front of my computer hitting "refresh" all night!! Gotta love the surprises!

[ELVIS]

It sucks that the band seems to know these rare songs really well and Dave sounds like he just wings it...

[TJMKID]

Links is reporting they just played Hang 'Em High.....

Oh fuck me --- they're really going balls deep with some of these oldies!

I hope they do "Dirty Movies" at the Pittsburgh show --- I will squirt jizz

[sadaist]

Dave sounds like he just wings it...

You're talking about David Lee Roth right? The same Dave we've been watching for 30+ years? 30+ years of winging it? LOL

shut up you

[sadaist]

ho

lee

fuck!!!

[Terry]

Seeing the youtube stuff, it seems as on these deeper cuts Dave literally has forgotten some of the fucking words...makes me wonder if these cuts weren't rehearsed with the full band as much as the standards in the set were...even so, I'm presuming the band does a setlist before each show...surely it's not beyond Dave's capacity to relearn lyrics to these tracks...unless he's just throwing in new lyrics because he can't relate to the older ones...

[ELVIS]

You shut up...

Dave doesn't sound nearly as prepared as he did last tour...

Ed, Al and Wolf are kicking his ass...

[Sensible Shoes]

I do admit Dave's not 100% ready. But come on... he has to learn the new stuff, PLUS oldies the band haven't played in 20 years!
Nuff said

Fun


I think the reason is he is much more comfortable with his position this time around. The 2007/2008 walking on eggshell tour was a little different. But on most songs Dave is hitting it out of the park.


And I'd rather the band kick Daves ass than Sammys on stage. :-)

Tis all good.

Ed, Al and Wolf are all fucking bringing it...that's for sure.

It's that headset mic...it's throwing off Dave's mojo.

I just hope they are using plenty of echo ---- it really enhances the song

[ELVIS]

No, I think it's the fact that Ed Al and Wolf rehearsed their asses off sans Dave...

They probably know the entire catalogue...

[Momshell]

poor Dave probably can't remember if it's Hang Em High or Where Were You Last Night - I get confused sometimes too, and he's older than I am!

[VanHalenI]

Oh man, I hope this doesn't lead into another break up between the band...

"You don't learn the lyrics, you're out of the band"

Oh lord.. I can see it right now...

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Late to the party, but I'm here. Hang em High the only new addition?

[Sweet Irony]

Hey ELVIS...Is it just me? Or are you a cranky old critical fucker...in general...????

[Sweet Irony]

Jay just told me that this show was the 'greatest thing ever'....
