Ha! I remember those!
I'd like to see that!Maybe A Bottle Under A 10 Gallon Hat.
LOL... when you sneak in some 151 or or liquor, mixing it with a coke gives you a powerful mixed drink... and we always had smoke as well, in pipes with lids, so you could sneak a hit and have it put away before anyone figured it out (if security even cared, which usually they didnt)Now Young Man,When You Are My Age,Mixed Drinks Do The Trick With My Meds.
Check out the consecutive jumps in the beginning!!
Sat in the suites most of the night. free booze. fucked up. ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent....Stay Frosty!
How did you do that????? Wow!
Oh dear.
I used to work at Conseco and was on the suite floor. Good to know people.
My wife is pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too much booze! Yo to old no 7!
Hate to see the hangover you'll have tomorrow
Did she go with you? Or did you go alone? either way, tell her to get with the program! When I am not driving to a show (Buffalo - I'm taking the train in and hoteling it) I plan to give myself one serious hangover.
Damn!! Still no footage!?
So far on this tour VH has pulled out, Hear About it Later, Outta Love Again, Women in Love, and Girl Gone Bad.......and they released a kick ass album. I wonder if more gems will be brought out on the road this tour?
Eddie is on fire, and the band is tight!
We all lose our right to bitch from now on and should be thankful for what we are getting.
Stay Frosty mother fuckers!
Or cleavage!
I think they're all just having the time of their lives. They've dropped the old grudges and bs, and have realized that they do their best work together, so they might as well enjoy it.
FUCKING HELL! We got Hear About it Later! Been waitin' since '81 to hear that one live again... And they nailed it! My bud that went to Louisville text-resented me, since he wasn't here tonight. It's his favorite VH track...
They seemed looser tonight, maybe the Indiana hometown vibe was that extra ingredient. Girl Gone Bad was dead nuts, and I gotta say Women in Love is just a killer live song.
No more on the fence. Go see this show! You will not regret it!
Now, where and when can I see them next...
No light at the end of the tunnel, due to budget constraints...
Nice!! Was Hear about it Later in place of something else or just an addition?
Video quality's not great, but it's something!!!
Stay Frosty!
THE DAY IS DONZO LET'S HAVE SOME FUNZO!!
Eddie solo
Do they still search Tony Bennet audiences?
At what point will the Van Halen audience not get searched? Can't be long now demographically speaking...
Goosebumps! Nuthin but goosebumps reading and watching these clips!! Ass kickin good times for sure....Thanks to everyone for the updates/clips!
And now "Hear About It Later"
Mean Street
WE'RE ON A MISSION FROM ROTH.
hm...Dave doesn't sound as good as he did last tour...he sounded worse during the rehearsal concert but he's not in the best vocal shape these days...
Roth Army Icon
First official owner of ADKOT (Deluxe Version)
oof...that sucks...
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting for this to show up all night. I even skipped studying for a Physiology quiz, I'm so stoked about this song being played!!!!!!!!
You've put the icing on the VH cake for me. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a great show - let's hope they keep adding gems the further we get into the tour. Let's also hope rocknrolldork's hangover lasts only two days.
Could this tour turn out to be a VH lottery - with some cities winning big on the deep cuts? Who will be talking shit about that obscure gem they only played once? Let's hope it's MN!
My karma just ran over your dogma.
wow!!!
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?

Classic Van Halen largely present during Fieldhouse show

Within the lyrics of new Van Halen song "The Trouble with Never," David Lee Roth sings that "selective amnesia is only a heartbeat away."
Roth expanded this excerpt of "Never" during Wednesday's performance at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where he characterized selective amnesia as a useful coping mechanism.
It turns out that selective amnesia may be the best way to assess the show -- stop No. 3 on a tour to promote "A Different Kind of Truth," the first Van Halen album since 1984 to feature Roth on lead vocals.
The disjointed "Never" and too-busy "China Town" unfolded as "Truth" tracks to forget. But longtime fans could grasp current single "Tattoo" and "Truth" selection "She's the Woman" as electrifying reminders of the band's power-meets-melody legacy.
Ageless guitar wonder Eddie Van Halen delivered "keeper" moments throughout the two-hour performance, while drummer Alex Van Halen (Eddie's brother) and bass player Wolfgang Van Halen (Eddie's son) made a rock-steady rhythm section.
Roth, who toured with Van Halen in 2007 after decades of estrangement, offered focused effort on "She's the Woman."
But he lost the plot on the program's next song, 1980's "Romeo Delight."
At his most eccentric, Roth shares traits with 1970s-era Elvis Presley: dropped lyrics, martial-arts poses and an affection for handguns (in Roth's case, one is tattooed on his derrière).
When Roth inspires, he's suggestive of James Cagney portraying George Cohan in the 1942 film" Yankee Doodle Dandy" -- strutting purposefully while singing "Panama" and "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" as esteemed anthems of the Sunset Strip.
Another of these, "Dance the Night Away," taxed the high end of Roth's vocal range and made him appear to be a 57-year-old man out of his element.
Yet precisely when the show needed age-appropriate context and some heart, Roth sang "Ice Cream Man" as an unplugged solo number and he shared childhood memories of Bloomington and New Castle, Ind.
Roth's substantial role actually comes as somewhat of a surprise when compared to the 2007 tour, when Eddie Van Halen towered above his band mates.
This time around, Eddie is working hard with Wolfgang to tag-team high vocal harmonies (an important job handled by former bass player Michael Anthony from 1974 to 2006).
Many of Eddie's guitar highlights were stop-on-a-dime transitions from sonic aggression to subtle interludes.
And a brutal clinic in six-string mastery arrived with "Girl Gone Bad," an often-overlooked gem from the album "1984."
Kool & the Gang, perceived my many to be a mismatched supporting act on this tour, played a well-received selection of hits.
The 11-man crew thrived during the rock of "Emergency," the pop of "Get Down on It" and the funk of "Hollywood Swinging."

Do these idiot holes just get a bag of random magnetic words and pull them out wearing a blindfold to write these articles...?
the 2007 tour was all Dave and now it's Ed who pulls the heavyweights so far...man, chief "halftounge" is so badass in the vids I never thought he could play like this again...
I was going to comment on the same passage. My vivid memory of the Meadowlands, NJ show I attended in '08 was a bit different from this. Dave owned the night, Alex came in second, Wolf was shittin' himself and Ed was as still and as plain sounding as I had ever seen him.

Yeah the writer is exactly wrong.
This dumbasses first concert was Survivor in the mid 80's. He didn't even know Van Halen when Van Halen was Van HALEN. He just doesn't get it. He will never get it. To even compare this tour to the '07 tour is insane at best. After only 3 shows on this tour, the differences are obvious and glaring. What a dope.
I'm as stoked as the next fan that they pulled out Hear About it Later.
But what the fuck is Dave doing here???! Sing it like it was supposed to be sung - not with that stupid high regsiter!
Fuck!

ole No.1 The finest
