    Yeah. The day the tickets went on sale, I called a friend of mine with Buffalo Sabres season tickets who takes me to games expecting no money, although I pay him in $9 FNC beers. This day, he decided to turn it into a boys-night-out-thing and wanted me to get four tickets instead of two, meaning we ended up in the 300's. None of these guys were diehard Van Halen fans and were embarrassing me by making "walker" and "wheelchair hairband" jokes on the way in. Unfortunately, because these guys came from work and I had to meet them in order to herd the flock like one of Dave's dogs, I met them in the Northtowns of Buffalo and wasn't able to make the pregaming festivities. But when the concert started, their attitudes completely changed and there certainly were no more jokes.

    I found myself identifying the more obscure Van Halen material such as the night's biggest gem: "Somebody Get Me a Doctor!" IMHO But Ed's guitar wizardry and Dave's wry wit won them over completely and I think one of the guys is running out to get the Six Pack. I'm sorry I didn't get to The Pearl Street, but there was no way I could conduct these guys if I did. But yeah, the typical knock on Buffalo is that it's a sleepy provincial city that closes down at 9:00PM (as some dip-shit junior hockey player tweeted during the tournament here last year.) While there's some truth to that, you need to know where to look to find the diehard drinking est's that stay open until the County limit of 4:00AM, and there ain't any around the First Niagara. After the concert, we ended up going to the obligatory strip clubs around the Airport before wandering home at around 3:00AM.

    Did they sell male version hoodies at the show? I know there was a girl version Momshell bought. I'm hopeful but haven't seen one yet.

    I think the $100 Indian Motorcycle looking one was the only male hoody I saw at MSG. Not exactly a recession buster, but looked kick ass.

    Maybe there is a 'blower' clause buried in the rider this tour?

    i didn't notice it during the show but on one of the Youtubes i thought Dave's voice sounded a little off, like due to illness.

    You nailed it! He's an almost 10 year old puppy. The best is when your 68 lb muscle dog is sleeping on top of you on the couch on a Saturday afternoon and the doorbell rings and he stomps on your you know what to launch himself towards the door. That smarts.

    One thing I remember...although I do not remember which song it was...Wolf was killing it on the background vocals...Dave noticeably walked over to Ed...turned to look at Wolf...stopped singing himself...let Wolf finish the song and said..."that's the shit right there...that's the fuckin real deal"

    I thought that was pretty cool...

    I'm no Edsheep™. Anyone who has read me here knows that, but he was fucking "On Fire!" and tearing it up in Buffalo that night. For all the bitter comments I've thrown at Ed, it honestly brings a tear to my eye knowing that I saw him at his very best that night. I've never heard him play better, 1984 even. Bootlegs. The Six Pack. The Sam years. The Monsters of Crock tour. He fucking outplayed himself on "Live Without Any Nuts" on the solo. Fucking great stuff...

    He made a believer out of a 30-year-old friend whose favorite VH song was "Jump!". He made a rebeliever out of me!

    He's easily had way more spectacular moments, but he's much more consistant than he's ever been...
