Official August 13/15 Wantagh, NY, Nikon At Jones Beach Theater Meetup/Review Thread
Welcome to the Official August 13 Wantagh, NY, Nikon At Jones Beach Theater Meetup/Review Thread. This thread is to discuss anything leading up to the show, as well as all reviews.
Let's hear it !!
Eat Us And Smile - The Originals
"I have a very belligerent enthusiasm or an enthusiastic belligerence. I’m an intellectual slut." - David Lee Roth
"We are part of the, not just the culture, but the geography. Van Halen music goes along with like fries with the burger." - David Lee Roth
Dave was as good as 2007. Scale of one to ten, for what I think is his current ability, he was at least an 8.5. The Van Halens are so solid, it's almost as if it hinges on the singer. Dave was outstanding. Very little mushmouthing, no big "I forgot the fucking words!", conserved himself at the right times during songs, sang the songs that I was worried about pretty well (DTNA and In A Simple Rhyme were more than just passable) and didn't overdo the crazy tics and mannerisms we've grown to cringe at. I was really happy with tonight's show, and happy for them. Probably happier for myself since all my friends identify me as a Van Halen/David Lee Roth guy.
One negative: they have to bring back someone screaming "I bring you the mighty Van Halen!" At the beginning of the show.
