Don't kill me guys, but I gotta go to sleep. After last night, this time zone thing on a school night is killing me. I guess I'm not 20 anymore
See you all in the am, hopefully with YouTubes.
If I miss Sinner's Swing or Dave without a shirt I promise I'll never miss part of a show again!

[Light Em' Up!]

One of many for the night!

Awww bummer my RA sister...it's fun hanging with you at the shows...You know it's going to happen now because you are going to bed....

Good night...

[Light Em' Up!]

Gotta love Diamond Dave!
DLR just turned around to check his look in the Jumbotrom. Hilarious. #VanHalen— BlkIsTheNewBlk (@BlkIsTheNewBlk) April 30, 2012

[SNIPER]

We are all more like two 20 year olds in one. Should party twice as hard.

[loucap81]

I think it's pretty safe to assume it'll be the typical structure, really there are only a four songs that are tossups. 4th song is either Romeo or Full Bug, and 18th song is either Girl Gone Bad or Outta Love Again with a remote possibility of Hang 'em High. Only other songs possibly in play are something instead of Hear About It Later at #9 and The Trouble With Never at #13, but other than the very beginning of the tour and a run of four shows from March 26 - April 1st, those two have been more or less fixtures. If there's any chance of getting a deep cut that hasn't been played yet, it'll be in that #18 slot. According to the guy I talked to in Reading, who believe me is VERY close to the band (has a tour pass), LUTS was actually on the official setlist in that #18 slot in Reading but Dave nixed it an hour before the show.

He WILL do LUTS just for me on this tour!!!

[DLR'sCock]

Hey Lou, long time man, hope all is going well. I see that you've hit a run of shows on this tour.

[loucap81]

Believe me I hope they do. I rank it as my third favorite VH song behind Unchained and Romeo.

Luckily my fourth and fifth favorite VH songs have been unexpectedly played this tour, Girl Gone Bad and Hear About It Later respectively. And Women in Love... is in my top 10.

If they do LUTS and Secrets (which if you saw that video on the VHND last week, it looks like they rehearsed it or at least thought about it) that would be divine.

True, but there also is that "Trouble" and "Blood" slot that could be good for another NEW tune.

[loucap81]

Nice to see you too. Hard to believe that DLR show at the Spectrum was over 10 years ago. I was 20 years old. I hate how time moves like this.

[loucap81]

True, but there also is that "Trouble" and "Blood" slot that could be good for another NEW tune.

And that would be awesome if they whipped out "As Is" or "HBSD." I think "Trouble" is one of the weaker songs on the album, not that it's bad but it doesn't excite me the way a lot of the other songs do.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

It was the Steal Panther singer and guitar player. They were killer.

Ralph Seanz and the Atomic Punks will always be the #1 VH tribute band around here...

Their bass player, Joe, has posted here several times....

And please, do some searches, there are dozens of threads discussing them.....

Agreed

[Light Em' Up!]

This is fine and all, but I know I'd like to know what the hell the set is....grrr...

Time certainly does fly quite fast. That seems like yesterday to me. You seeing them in Philly when they come back? I haven't decided if I want to go to north jersey or go to philly.

[The Roth Era]

Great way to break in the wife!
My wifes first "rock n roll concert". #VanHalen— Thomas McGrail (@tommagreal) April 30, 2012

I don't think I could marry a girl who had never been to a rock and roll show.

[Light Em' Up!]

Okay...here we go....
Hear About it Later. Classic. #vanhalen #STL— Chris Reed (@birdbrained) April 30, 2012

[SNIPER]

So glad HAIL has stuck around. It still blows my mind that they are even playing it. Love that tune!

[TitanTopper]

Glad st. Louis is rocking, but I wish it was still this past Friday Night here in Nashville again!! My buddy from StL is there and says they are kicking ass!!

I'm sure I'll hit the Philly show. I'll buy my ticket at the last minute like I always do. Highly unlikely I'll travel to NJ or CT, want to conserve the cash for Cleveland which will be the big meetup.
