Official 3/5 Philadelphia Meetup/Review Thread

[Zing!]

I've got a better idea, rookie....

Make yourself a sandwich, Va, drink a glass of milk... Do some fuckin' thing.

And bring on Hang 'Em High in Philly!

[guwapo_rocker]

Any insiders tonight....was going to check the links, but i was banned for life due to a Spam comment..LOL

Banned for life at the Links?? Just email Brett and tell him I said to unban you.

You'll be fine.

[Momshell]

Is Kool & the Gang playing?

[guwapo_rocker]

Is anyone reporting from the show tonight?

No, I'd rather tell you to fuck off....

No Biggie... too many tools there anyway! Thanks though.

[Momshell]

Must....have....updates!!! I'm starting to feel withdrawal symptoms!

[Guitar Shark]

No, I'd rather tell you to fuck off....

Hines Ward is still a legend

[perrin29]

Is Kool & the Gang playing?

I was just on Twitter and some KATG shots from the show were posting.

[guwapo_rocker]

They are setting up for VH now.

[Momshell]

I can feel the excitement all the way out here on Long Island!

[IceCreamBlondie]

Keep the updates coming.....

[Carloscda]

Where did you see that?

Matt Cord from WMMR was speaking with Ike Richman the PR Director and he mentioned the songs they were rehearsing during sound check....

Wow, that would be great....

[guwapo_rocker]

[DONNIEP]

Take with a grain of salt but Hang em High & Bottoms up was heard during sound check??!!

No fucking way!!! How cool would that be??? Damn, I so hope VH puts out a DVD of the live shows and includes all these songs!

Midnight Run? Great flick.

[wiseguy]

Midnight Run? Great flick.

I agree! They were talking sequel last year.

[EdVanZep]

I say they dump Jump and end with Beats Workin

I'd say that's a great idea

[78/84 guy]

The problem is I have yet to see anyone on stage filming a show so far. Except the guys down in front for the screen shots.

[wiseguy]

Too true, Dave would probably announce it to. "ok, (insert city here)....let's make some fucking noise!!!"

[DLR Bridge]

I agree! They were talking sequel last year.

Oh they'd better not fuck that up if they do. That was Charles Grodin at his dead pan's best! "why aren't you in good with the Chigago police?" "Your Alonso Mosley?"

[DONNIEP]

Surely they're taping the feed from those cameras, right? Probably just wishful thinking on my part but with everything the band has put out so far this year I just can't see them not putting out DVD.

Can't wait to see the set list from tonight's show!

Yup. And after seeing Deniro in Killer Elite, he's still got it.

[DLR Bridge]

I can't wait to see tonight's clip of Chinatown. The one at Mohegan Sun cracked me up. Dave's "Quickly! To the chorus!" bit is starting to look like he's stuck in his own personal groundhog day. Remember by the 5th or 6th time Bill Murray had to do the spot on Punxatawnee Phil, he was loosing his initial flair and all interest in doing it?

I could see them switching that tune out for Bullethead.

[ALMOSTsaved]

Just saw a Twit Pic and they are on stage. No idea what song they opened with. The pic was awful.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Opened with Unchained again....

Ha ha ha...another great movie!! No sequel though. Yes Bullethead for sure. Or outa space

I think they will put one out but I would think they would put a couple guys on stage up high on stage to film. The guys down front are looking up at the stage. Thy won't release something from only one point of view.

There were 9 guys hoisted above the band, but at the Forum show they were all for spotlights.... Maybe if they were filming they could replace a couple of them with cameras....

There is also another cam back on a riser above the sound guys on the floor I believe.



Shoes took the pic at Mohegan.

And is that a mic to the left of the stool?

[Nitro Express]

I remember the 1984 lighting rig had some seats and spotlights up there. It looked kind of fun being up there. I remember the guys up there were in special outfits and some of the crew had black VH jumpsuits. I mean I helped set up for other bands but VH had this kind of style that none of the others had. I think Roth had a lot to do with all those little details.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Some really shitty Twitter pics so far....

The entire lighting rig comes down to the stage, then the guys climb into their seat, strap in, and the rig lifts them all up at the same time.... Pretty cool....

[Momshell]

That's most likely the camera position of our DDE rep....

Unchained
Runnin' With The Devil
She's The Woman

Another person tweeted "Everybody Wants Some."

Van Halen tonight in Philly! So far awesome show!

[guwapo_rocker]

I don't think that dude has posted a setlist since you banned him.
