    I would pay $35 to have a couple of beers and here that story and song alone. If that doesn't put a smile on your face and remind you of the Van Halen swagger of yesteryear, I don"t know what would.

      That locking arms and going in a circle is corny as guck and cool as fuck at the same time because of who's doing it.

        Was at the show and saw Dave coughing quite a bit. Knew something was awry when he only did two kung fu kicks....yet he sounded great....class act to hang in there for the fans...

        Hey psycho, please get out of my Van Halen T-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.

          That was a great ICM story. Never heard that one before. I liked Dave's front row seat to Ed's solo. Greatest love-hate relationship in the history of love-hate relationships right there boy.

            Yes, although I feel the need to be nit-picky and correct Dave that they never played Medford on the 1984 tour, they played Portland....

              Yeah, he was coughing to clear his throat a lot at KC too.

                  Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

                        That's the raconteur Dave that we all love and miss. Better here, than the dog stories, more interesting than suburbs with streets named after the trees they ripped out and worlds away from Sammy Cheez Wiz and his dancing clown carnival of bad cocktails, goat beards and circle jerks.

                        He reminds us in the story of 1984 Dave; now he has every right to look back (at himself) and remind us just how fucking cool he is.

                            Apart from some struggling here and there with his voice at the age of 60 this Dave is the best Dave one could imagine.

                            He's full aware that everyone is checking the YouTubes and varies the stories, surprises with new jokes and makes every night a special night.

                            To all you kids at the starting line: watch and learn! This is a legend at work and you can't work a crowd better than this man!

                              I love it. Static setlist, but not a static show. Well done Dave.

                                And that was Awesome! Love me some sexy DAVE showing off his new tattoos!

                                BTW, the reason why he was late to the airport was because the line was so long at PINKS Hot Dogs!
