Official July 22 Kansas City, MO, Cricket Wireless Amphitheater Meetup/Review Thread

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Welcome to the Official July 22 Kansas City, MO, Cricket Wireless Amphitheater Meetup/Review Thread. This thread is to discuss anything leading up to the show, as well as all reviews.

Let's hear it !!

[clarathecarrot]

Looking Forward.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Sigh. I probably won't be able to. Shows are just cost-prohibitive anymore.

Well, as far as I am concerned it doesn't matter what goes on around this site, at meet ups, shows or anything outside of this internet box gizmo, everyone is welcome when I'm buying a round.

I will toast one, in your honor.

I will be the guy on the motorcycle who is wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of levis and I have long dark hair so it should be easy to spot me in the crowd..lol.

I could probably find you if you are going, we could arrange some.............................................. ... thing ..?

Oh, and I am only half as sexy as I let on.

Yeah, that's right, I am hotter than a out of control locomotive on fire.

j/k

[Molly Blue]

I'm glad you mentioned you have dark hair... I would have been following all these red heads around with an empty cup.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

So, anyone know why Ticketmaster has stopped selling tickets to this show?

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

So, anyone know why Ticketmaster has stopped selling tickets to this show?

Never mind. It's back.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Tickets locked in. I'm on my way. My first concert was David Lee Roth Skyscraper when I was in 9th grade. My son's will be Van Halen when he is in 9th grade. I'm taking my kid to see Van Halen with Roth. This is not a thing I would ever have imagined would happen in my life. How great is it? He's about as excited about it as he would be to go to the grocery store. I can't wait until it hits him. I can't wait until he feels it. The MIGHTY VAN HALEN is back.

[Molly Blue]

I am glad you will be able to share this with your son. Will be an awesome memory for you both to be sure!

any up dates?

I worked till 6:45 gotta work today too...word...."AGame" glad I found a reason to believe back in 78....got vid got pics may take me a couple days to sort it all out...MAGNIFIQUE!.

All the girls were wearing bedazzled jeans and all the glitter was all around their sugary assholes.....it was all a win win..

eating chow swallowing aspirin chugging water//oh and there were some fine scoots at the show....oh and word....Ed is a wonderful something that I cannot explain in simple word ?...... right the fuck on!

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

There was Jack Daniels. There was a fucking your girlfriend joke. There were roundhouse kicks. There were screams. Ed got scared by a bug on the stage.
Fuck Youtube vids. Fuck Tokyo Dome. It ain't the same when you're there. Dave sings like that because he's singing hard. He's bringing it. The only song it bothered me even a little on was DTNA.

After their horrible showing in KC in 2007, this made me feel like I finally saw Van Halen live.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

I heard it was humid

You heard right. I was cool though. Could have been much worse.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

Dave took a beach ball out of the crowd because "some people get hit in the back of the head when they are wearing glasses." WTF?

[Jetstream]

That is why I never wear glasses at a outdoor concert, it's fucking brutal man... listening and digging the music and then boom, some asshole hits me in the head with a beach ball and then I cannot spot him because my glasses have just been lost in the dark of the beer soaked ground lol

Was it a full bug?

Seems to be the same consensus by the reviewers at every show.

Pulling in less than 10,000 a night. Not good at all.

I tried to tell Flamma...

Yeah well it was the bands choice too play an out door tour. Aren't they all smaller ??? So they do something they want to have fun with and get savaged for it ?? Oh the age of the internet !! And fuck the critics !! Fan's ??? If you don't want to see your hero's at 60 stay the fuck home !! It's no secret Dave isn't the same guy from 07/08.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

I don't give a damn what the papers say. The show was incredible.

[Von Halen]

They aint less than 10k small, except Red Rocks.

I wonder I these outdoor venues are half the cost or less to hold the event? They have to be. Way easier setup as well...small stage

cant think of any other reason why they would do this versus the usual arenas.

[Von Halen]

That venue looks pretty fucking full to me.

I like these venues.

Hell, I'm ready for them to do theatre's.

I think they wanted to play outside and have some fun. Then the critics go after them because they are playing smaller venue's ?? Big deal.

[Von Halen]

This venue holds 18,000. Doesn't look like less than 10k in that photo of the crowd.

[Nitro Express]

Some of these smaller venues sound better than the bigger ones. Yeah there seems to be plenty of tickets available but there still are good sized crowds and the band is playing great. I mean if you are a VH fan worth going. I might go to the Hollywood Bowl show.

A friend of mine saw VH in some outdoor venue in the Seattle area and he's like going holy shit the sound is great! It was one of those smaller outdoor venues that has the roof that goes out over the audience. He then saw RUSH at the Key Arena in Seattle (The old Supersonics arena) and he said the sound sucked. Not because their sound engineers suck but nobody ever sounds good there because it's a sports arena. These smaller venues are designed for music and you get better sound.

[TwoFoolsAMinute]

I didn't see any empty seats from where I was.
