Yeah, I think the DDL/MWM combo might send some of us old fuckers over the edge....

You can't shoot Sammy out of a cannon when he's too busy signing autographs....

Silly....

[DONNIEP]

Silly....

A reasonable facsimile of Sammy will suffice. Or they can have the VH blimps fly a Sammy pinata around the arena and let people whack it with a stick and when it busts open guitar pics and crap fly out.

[scott b]

It would be really cool if they would play the whole Fair Warning album in its entirety. And yes I did say album!!

1. Hot for Teacher

The lights go down. From the dark we hear the pound of the drum and then the unmistakable drum intro to HFT begins as the spotlight fades in on Alex. A second spotlight drops on Edward as he begins the opening riff. Halfway through the opening riff, a spotlight drops on Wolfie, only he's not playing the bass, he's playing guitar and he joins in on the opening riff. Then when the rhythm guitar part kicks in a large spot goes to center stage and there is the surprise appearance of Michael Anthony. As the crowd cheers, DLR zip lines from above the drum riser landing in a nice old-man-safe landing zone as Mike ducks and lets him pass overhead. The spot follows Dave out to the front of the stage, he says his howdys and when the band kicks back in, the whole thing goes up in lights. "T-T-Teacher, stop that screamin…."
Goes right into...

2. Everybody Wants Some

"Heard you missed him, He's baaaaack." Dave introduces Mike. Mike plays a SHORT bass intro then starts thumping...

3. Runnin With The Devil

The show continues with some classics and some new.

4. Somebody Get Me A Doctor, including some kind of medley thing in the middle.
5. Hear About it Later
6. As Is
7. Women In Love
8. Light Up the Sky

"Light Em Up ends with a prolonged bathing of light and then the stage goes dark.
Moments later, the spotlight comes up and Dave and Ed are sitting on stools with Acoustic guitars.
They crank out a version of…

9. Could This Be Magic

Followed by "a little something different."
Mike and Alex join the two on stage, Alex with a minimal drum setup of some kind and Mike with an acoustic bass. The band performs

10. Damn Good
…while vintage photos of the band play on a slide show behind the stage. At the end they show a photo of the new five-member Van Halen, Wolf comes out and joins them and they all take a bow.
Dave takes the mike, now standing with his acoustic. He begins telling a story about the sounds of summertime while the spot closes on him. He begins

11. Ice Cream Man

…and when it's time, the band kicks in. At the end, Dave says. "All my flavors arrrrrrrrre," and plays a little run on his guitar. "Ooooo all my flavors arrrrrrrre," he goes again. "All my flavors are G-g-g-g-g," and he begins the opening to…

12. Stay Frosty

They play some or all of the song. Dave introduces Edward Van Halen.

13. Ed solos

Ed introduces Wolfie Van Halen

14. Wolfie solos, then Ed joins in.

Then they are back for the lightning round.

15. Mean Street
16. Panama
17. I'm the One
18. Drum Solo
19. Unchained
20. This is the part where they don't play Dance The Night Away even though they really really want to.
21. Little Guitars
22. Take Your Whiskey Home

23. Romeo Delight

Encore

24. Drop Dead Legs
25. Ain't Talkin' Bout Love

2nd Encore

26. Obligatory Jump money shot.

Everyone goes home.

Once the venue is empty, they run back out on stage and play DTNY and Tattoo with amps powered completely by OCD. A custodian films it on his phone and half the people on the internet get angry because they didn't get to see it.

[Fairwrning]

You can't shoot Sammy out of a cannon when he's too busy signing autographs....

Silly....

Like Sammy's fat ass could even FIT in a cannon....

[fryingdutchman]

Does anybody think that Dave could keep up the pace of "Bullethead", "As Is", or even LUTS at this point?

Have we forgotten the "Chinatown" disaster of a few short years ago?

I love Dave, but there are two things he can't do...

1. Keep his vocals within an acceptable range
2. Keep pace with songs that have an accelerated time signature
