Funny thing happened today. Wife says you excited for Sat? That's an understatement! She goes on to say Fri was perfect so much better than the 3/7 shows she went with in 07/08 to her said perfect setlist balancing new with old. She hated Dave's Inflto Mic and props last round loving the straight less is more stage and just rocking, then For the 1st time cranks up the disc. Like I mentioned before she never liked Dave much from even the old days, said he was cocky and arrogant. Took her 20 years to finally Get Him. Now she not only respects him but admires his efforts from EMT to most fit frontman Ever. Only part we aren't agreeing on now is she loves Trouble with Never while she skips Blood and Fire, hit skip button. Had to show her the hair on my arms all on end and started it over! Must say very nice to argue about which song to hear instead of we're not listening to Van Halen, can tell she really wants to go again. Kings cap it off tomorrow what a run, and for a Lakers fan what a Celtic series, beat LeBronSquad and gladly keep the trophy edge with Rondo props. Been one hell of a week in Staples since last Fri, Kings wrap Wed. then Saturday will this be last L.A. Show? wouldn't miss it for anything. Hoping it's fact Bottoms Up was played tonight in San Jose. If TWN is gone for it & we get the Light Up the Sky SoundCheck it will be perfect for this MoFo.

Matt and I got itinerary today, we check in at 4:15 for what will indeed be the perfect Bookend to the 8 days O'Halen in the City of Lights Homecoming!

Are you excited? She asks.... Something like that

That may be cool spot after, will not indulge until post show. Just learned the hard way from 1984 last LA show as CVH not tons of detailed memories ;-)

Pretty sure I walked through that place when I parked my car across the street from the Staples Center looking for Lakers gear in February before the Forum show.... Looks like plenty a watering hole....

After seeing the San Jose videos Dave has really become unleashed even more. Now that the first show that really gets reviewed and over critiqued is out of the way, they are going to really give us some Ass Whooping that will can really include just about anything at this point, Dirty Movies, Fools or open with Loss of Control. Nothing would surprise at this point.
What a great run, 07/08 the only surprise was removing a song from set once Little Guitars & Dreamer? This tour it's what are we going to get hit with tonight, better, totally better As Is.

I'm sure looking forward to seeing Dave more unleashed!! And if they can replace some songs and add instead Little Guitars, Blood and Fire, Stay Frosty or As is, I'll be in Halen Heaven!
