    I'll be damned. Wonder why he put it up at dime. Not that I care.

    Due to some financial difficulty, I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to make this show until evening of the show itself. But in the end, I love Van Halen too much to skip a VH show in my own backyard. So I swallowed hard and bought a ticket at 4 PM that day off StubHub for slightly under face value. I'm glad I went. It was a great performance with a killer setlist. They seem closer knit as a band than they did on the 2007-08 tour.

    As for the recording itself, I had the usual allotment of low-class assholes to contend with and I did the best I could under the circumstances. You can hear said assholes on the recording at times. Given where I was standing I'm a tad disappointed with how this came out--I was expecting more separation of instruments--but it's still a decent recording nonetheless.

    There will not be a 16 bit version. I don't have the interest in doing that so any one of you can take it upon yourselves to do that and upload it to Dime, no need to ask me. Really you can do whatever you want with it without asking--mate it to a DVD, upload as mp3 files on guitars101.com, etc. I can't stop you anyway and I stopped caring about such things a long time ago.

    Finally, a shout-out to the former DDLR crew who will be at the Buffalo show on Friday March 9th. I wish I could make it but I definitely can't. I'll never forget what a great time I had 4-1/2 years ago and I wish you all the best.

    Can you put it in JTTwhen you get it?
    Maybe this is what a heroine addict feels like after getting a long awaited fix, shooting up in the corner of some abandoned building and just not giving a fuck about what the rest of the world thinks...TATTOO"

    Believe it or not, there have been two or three sequels to the original Midnight Run. None featured DeNiro or Grodin, and apparently they were so ghastly they went straight to video.

    I agree with you. "I'll Wait" is nowhere in my Top 25 Favorite CVH songs of all time --- but it comes alive during a show. That driving drum beat & synth in the intro is haunting. Besides, it's a nice departure from non-stop guitar-crunching anthems that we hear the rest of the show. I hope they keep it in.

    Fuck, I'd even like Dave's solo tune "Damn Good" to replace ICM in the setlist. Just read the lyrics to that song --- it's Dave's genuine heartfelt feelings about VH. Tearjerker moment and the women would love it. Remember that Eddie played some Hagarita solo songs before --- such as "One Way to Rock" and "Eagles Fly" so I dont see why he cant play a Dave solo tune as well.

    Ok was listening to the Preston & Steve show on WMMR this morning for the recap. Well as stated Pierre gave the show 7.5, another dude I think Matt cord gave 6.5, the only sensible one Jackie Bam gave 8.

    Don't know which one it was Preston or Steve but he said how Dave's voice wasn't all that great, where was the keyboard player, why isn't Ed playing the keyboard live(want it to be 84 again)?! Pierre said how Dave should stop the kicks & screams and do something different like rising out of the floor or do like he did back on the Sky-scrapper tour and ride across the audience on a surf board. Even went as far to say VH should get back up singers??!! This is The Mighty Van Halen not some pop van hagar band!!! WTH

    Now last night they were speaking to people leaving and Everyone said it was an Awesome show!!
    And at lunch time today Pierre played UC & RWTD from last night as he recapped, he said fans were texting him furious the he gave the show a low rating!! LOL

    Now everyone said how much they love Dave but still made the "norm" comments about his singing, forgetting the words etc...

    What really kills me is that that's all you hear,like Dave is the only singer out there?! Have they heard Paul Stanley who's not that great, Mike Jagger who you can't tell what he's singing & other's etc...
    But all you ever hear is Dave Dave Dave...WTH!!

    People are really F'ed up. I am grateful to see them period. Most people don't sound as good live as studio. He sounded good to me. Sure there were a few places he sings higher but you can see he is brining it down or tries to. The music is super tight. There is not a stronger front man around. Whatever happened to people having a good time and stop complaining? People are spoiled. As I said Philly is a f'ed up place if this is what they were actually 'complaining' about last night. THe proper VH has not toured for YEARS (prior to 07/08) and people are really complaining? Then don't buy a ticket.

    Most radio DJ's today are fucking clueless just like Eddie Trunk. Trunk is trying really hard to convince the world that there is a huge demand for a Van Hagar reunion and EVH is stupid for ignoring that. Trunk also slobbered all over Hagarita's dick on "That Metal Show" in September and told Sammy he still sounds as good as he did in the 80's. Like I said ---- FUCKING CLUELESS.

    It's amazing how many retarded shitbirds in the music biz still dont understand that classic VH was mostly about ATTITUDE. I've been watching some recent Journey clips and their Filipino singer nails all the old hits note-for-note but he got no swagger like Perry did. All these radio cocksmokers are never gonna get it.

    I'll see your boobage and raise you a "Bermuda Triangle". In '03 I took a girl to her first Dave show...There's nothing quite like a DLR show, outside in the rain, that, well, guarantees a good night for all Thanks Dave!!

    Fuck Preston and Steve. In fact, fuck Preston WITH Steve.

    And fuck that hippie homo Pierre Robert as well. He's just in a mood because his dog died.

    The videos tell the tale. VH rocked once again in Philly.

    Did anyone confirm this? Were they played at the Philly Soundcheck? Since I'm going to the next show on Friday, I'm curious...

    No they weren't played at the show only during soundcheck/Rehearsal. So maybe later in the tour or at their LA homecoming??

    Both of those would be awesome to include... Bottoms Up! would be the perfect song to come back to for an encore... you know, if they actually left the stage..

    I like Bottoms Up just fine, but don't you think that Vh has enough songs in it's cannon to kinda avoid a blatant drinking song with a 20 year old bassist and a guitarist who seems like he's always one bad mood away from a case of smoking loon... I know they play Romeo Delight and Beautiful Girls, but Bottoms Up is a bit different... just my thoughts on it.

    I as well took a girl to her first Dave show, and it was in Philly at the Spectrum, Thanksgiving Eve 2001 and we met up with a while bunch of Army members in the lot. Good times. We were on the floor, up against the stage. Let's just say it was a DAMN GOOD night for us!!!!! hehe :bigwink.

    you didn't get a chance to see the mighty VH until Donington 84 (yes I know about the Hammy Odeon gigs, we don't all live in London).

    Anyway, Donington was Cartoon VH, we wanted soooooo much to luv 'em, but it just wasn't there.


    Tonight, i finally saw the MIGHTY Van Halen (sorry MA) and they fucking rocked the house. Dave was ON, Eddie? Wow. Alex and Wolfie - great.

    It was everything i'd ever dreamed about... except for the crowd. WTF Philly? I live in Brasil, if VH had played that way in Brasil there would have been an earthquake. In Philly, a bunch a guys drinkin' beer and some drunk women trying to remember which year it is.

    Sorry to the loyal fans who were there and rocked out, but damn it wasn't a great crowd!

    VH rocked the house. I'm so glad i went and i look forward to AC.
    Dude....I live in the US, and even I (idiot that I am) know that Brasilian rock fans are the most insane fans there are when it comes to live shows.

    You could probably go to any show in the US, and the fans would appear pretty lame compared to Brasilian crowds!

    Hey Brasilian is right..I've lived out of the US for a long time....but from Philly....I totally agree with him they seemed lamer than I expected. I saw more 'chaos' and excitiement at a Prince concert @ MSG than the Philly fans gave VH...Surprised.. I mean it wasn't dead and actually I am one of those people who does not mind when people 'sit' to enjoy a show for the sake of watching. I don't rate a show by how many are up and 'dancing' or what not..It is when there are encores, applause, vibe, etc.

    Ha....on Ticketbastard they posted a link to a review of the Philly show, and this first paragraph is one of the most kickass bits of writing about this tour I have seen so far:

    http://www.soundspike.com/story/3981...-philadelphia/

    Only a complete a fool would expect the 56-year-old version of Edward Van Halen to play with the same kind of turbo-charged fury and mind-blowing complexity that knocked the rock world on its collective ass more than three decades ago. And yet, that is exactly what the guitar legend did in Philadelphia Monday night (3/5)
