•2012 SetList • DO NOT READ if you want Surprise

[VAN HLN CA]

Here is the Tour set from sound guy at 2-8-12 F&F Forum show. He let me take a picture of it!

Obviously they only played about 2/3 of it, but 3/4 into show is PERFECT! Women in Love, Outta Love & Girl Gone Bad....wish they would pull out Pretty Woman and give us Take Your Whiskey Home yet there is no way to be anything but pumped for this Tour.

Only surprise is the show only has 4 ADKOT tracks. As time goes on I bet we hear more new songs. Trouble with Never was played at Henson gig but not on list etc.

We will know in less than 24 hrs how this list matches Kentucky's extravaganza....to all you going, Cheers!!



hope to get my vid's and pics up sooner than later. Vids are great for sound & view as I stepped back to get clean & clear sound.

Wow. Women In Love? Is that one a bit of a surprise or am I just a douche.

Can't stand Pretty Woman (never liked it), but I guess they have to play their most popular songs for the casual fans out there - especially girlfriends and wives out in the crowd.
Still think there will be changes to that set list though. TTWN was played at that LA gig, and YAYB was played acoustically...I would guess those songs will make an appearance if any other new songs make the cut. Women In Love and Girl Gone Bad would be great to hear live though.
Am I in the minority for liking I'll Wait? Awesome guitar solo, great performance by Dave.

[sadaist]

Can't stand Pretty Woman (never liked it), .

It's ok when played on the radio, but really needs to be dropped live. It's a well known tune, but there are plenty of others just as well known that are much better.....and original.

[VAN HLN CA]

Wow. Women In Love? Is that one a bit of a surprise or am I just a douche.

Great Surprise, can't wait to hear it. One of my favorite tunes!

[Jetstream]

Girl Gone Bad...YES!

[78/84 guy]

Girl Gone Bad...YES!

Yep. Ed's playing on this is awesome !! I can skip I'll Wait, it's good but...... Were is the new stuff ? Should be more of it. Outta Love is cool man. Love that solo. Can't wait to see them. Pretty Woman should be dumped. I guess it's for the girls. I'm sick of the covers after how great this new CD is.

[FORD]

Aside from the usual turds "I'll Wait" and "Jump" that's not a bad set list.

If they would drop one of them in favor of Drop Dead Legs, I could put up with the other.

[sadaist]

So they dropped :


I'm The One
Atomic Punk
So This Is Love
Little Dreamer
Little Guitars
Jamies Cryin'


Meh, sounds about the right ones to drop. Will be a lot of fuss over I'll Wait, but I still dig that tune and if you watch the 07/08 clips DAVE NAILED IT. Will miss little guitars a lot as Little Dreamer. But flip side, Girl Gone Bad......I can't wait.

[saint]

I think its a good set list to be better i would switch Pretty Woman I´ll Wait for two more new songs, that would change from gig to gig. The Trouble With Never, Big River, As Is. And I would let Tattoo be one of the two new songs that would rotate and instead play Drop Dead Legs.

[Carmine]

I dig the Women in Love addition...my favorite tune on II...

Only 2 bitches...dump Pretty Woman already...and for god's sake open with something OTHER than You Really Got Me...

Having said that...rant off....see you all on the road...

[vanhalenuk]

No solos?

[DavidLeeNatra]

I will miss ed throwing his monitor box off the stage trying to hit the guy who is responsible for the mix while the band is jamming to "jamie's crying"...

[chi-town324]

pretty woman really? what a waste...girl gone bad should rock...agree with opening with maybe Tattoo instead of YRGM

Will miss I'm the One, So This Is Love, Little Guitars....oh well - if it was up to me they'd play 30 songs, so I guess I can't get them all....coulda done without I'll Wait and Pretty Woman....hope Dave can still pull off I'll Wait - that's a tough one.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Will miss I'm the One, So This Is Love, Little Guitars....

Damn, you are right, these three are missing... Too bad they took them off when adding other ones - a 30-tune set would have been great for sure!

A video of the debate they had while choosing the songs would have been great - as there have been of quite a few conversations... But I guess it wouldn't be something to share with the fans, would it?

[sadaist]

.hope Dave can still pull off I'll Wait - that's a tough one.

Yeah, but he did such a great job in 2007 on it. I mean it truly was his 1 shining vocal moment of the entire show I was at. And watching Eddie 'air drum' the cool fill thingy was really fun to see.

I've always liked this tune anyways.

Yeah I thought he struggled with Ill Wait and he always does with Devil. He should pick something better. So This Is Love SHOULD NOT BE DROPPED.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Despite everyone's preferences, it can be but a great setlist anyway, can't it?

Like FORD and SAINT, I'd have loved to see Drop Dead Legs too - but I'm glad "Girl Gone Bad" and "Outta Love Again" are included,
though I'd have liked them to put "Dirty Movies", "Light Up the Skies", "Take your Whiskey Home", "In a Simple Rhyme" and even
"Where Have All the Good Times Gone" instead of "Pretty Woman", but well, it's all right all the same!
(just as long as they eventually cross the motherfuckin' Atlantic!!!)

[chi-town324]

how bout sinners swing ?

[Nickdfresh]

how bout sinners swing ?

Pretty sure they've either never played it live, or have done so a few times...

[BITEYOASS]

No Bullethead?!?!

[Momshell]

Don't get me wrong - I'll be singing, dancing, and going nuts no matter what they play - can't imagine a bad VH setlist. Gonna be the happiest couple of hours of my year for sure!!!

[perrin29]

Awesome! Great mix of old and new. Would've been cool to hear Drop Dead Legs or House of Pain but the double shot from VHII and Girl Gone Bad will be very cool. Gonna be a great show!

[fourthcoming]

Women In Love, Girl Gone Bad and OUTTA LOVE AGAIN??? fuck yea.......scrap I'll wait and give me As Is and scrap Pretty Woman and give me Hear about it later and i'm golden.

[So this is love]

I so fucking agree with you......

[So this is love]

The only reason I see to keep I'll Wait in the setlist is for me to go for a piss or a beer, what a waste they should do 35 songs...I want my money back lol

That's funny bro....shit, it's so hard to decide which songs I would like to hear. I would love to hear some really deep cuts like Loss of control or one foot out the door but I guess I have to be realistic. So many classics to choose from......gonna be a kick ass time though. Man, we could have been doing this for the last 28 years!!!!.....Thank you Jesus and Baby Jesus for this album and tour.

Well for me it would be very easy to have Hear about it later and Dirty Movies in there....Sure this setlist is to appeal to the female crowd...My wife is happy with this setlist.

[perrin29]

I was listening to Fair Warning yesterday and I agree that Dirty Movies and Hear About It are wicked tunes. "Remember when that girl was prom queen?"...awesome.

[MUSICMANN]

I would have taken off Pretty women, i"ll wait and Ice cream man and replaced them with Hear about it later, Big River and Stay Frosty. But, that being said, The band has so many great songs, it's kinda hard to pick and choose without leaving so many off. I can only hope that they interchange a few of those for different shows and such. All together, gonna be a rockin time.

[lurker..]

pretty woman can get dumped pronto.....of course JUMP should be gone but there is no way they will do that.....i vote for "the full bug" and I would love to hear "top jimmy"......

[fourthcoming]

Agreed So This and Lurker.

[VanHalenI]

Agh... I honestly don't like the setlist No new stuff, I mean that we've heard live b4. Come on Van Halen!
I'm just glad they brought Unchained back on top!!

[perrin29]

And they kept Romeo Delight! Wicked. Love that f'n tune!
