Woo Hoo! Show #2
WTF is wrong with Silicon Valley these days. The Mighty Van Halen (redundant) is in town today and NO ONE is going.
Or perhaps they just don't know how to use a message board.
I'd blame it on the computer nerds, but, hell, I am one.
Here's some advice to all the computer nerds in San Jose / Silicon Valley / Mountain View
If CreatureFrmTheC looks anything like the profile pic, then stop staring at your shoes, go see Halen, try to find the Creature.
If CreatureFrmTheC is a guy, then stop staring at your shoes, go see Halen, find Creature and ask him to help you get laid.
Google just announced great earnings. You can afford it.
Enjoy peps !! If there is any ???!!!

Opinion question...if you could pick row 4 close to center on Wolf's side or 7 on Ed's where would you go? I know Dave wanders everywhere but he seems to spend more time over by Wolf.
Yup.
12th row, Ed's side, Montreal '07.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Unfortunately, I only have YouTube to go by, but so far, Dave sounds the best he's sounded since 07-08. As for the Van Halens, all they do is put foot to ass every night, so we're rollin' in that regard.
Dave's voice sounds stronger in general (especially compared to the recent tv stuff) and I'm very glad some sort of light bulb has gone off for him relative to his vocal choices. I don't think he sang China Town properly in 6 shows total from the 12-13, yet he's been on point every show so far, which I'm loving since he murdered that song during 12-13. Dave hasn't been perfect, but he has been better.
I'm digging the set list, especially the new batch of deep cuts. All in all, a great start to the tour- the venues have looked pretty full, the crowds have been good and so have the reviews. And like everybody else around here, I've heard the old war horses a million times, but I still love it and get pumped listening to the boys muscle through tunes like Hot For Teacher, especially when they're rolling like they are now.
Keep it rolling boys!
Done. Grabbed a 7th row seat on Ed's side.
Awaiting the show to start - (opening band's set shown), but the main act is VAN HALEN!! Woo hoo!

I am getting the impression that a lot of the younger crowd is starting to show up at the concerts. We can say all we want about the Kimmel performance, Ellen and The Billboard Awards... but they are paying huge dividends for Van Halen
I got lost in the...
Some could say that VH is delivering a pure Rock performance, pure, etc...
I know that U2 rehearsed for at least a month a month and a half for their recent tour in the old Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver.
I saw the first show and it was an incredible production and performance. I cant help but think VH is missing the boat here.
They certainly have the creativity (from Dave) to create something special but see no need to deviate from walking on stage and playing through the tunes.
I wish there was more.
