    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.

    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

    Close with

    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.

    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

    He was in fine form in 2007...

    It was the triplets that couldn't keep up...at all...

    All four are lacking throughout that Tokyo bullshit...

    So I have more confidence in a healthy Dave than the sigly usters...

    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
    1. That one's in his head and he'd better figure it out.

    2. He utilized tricks to keep up with the pace of faster songs back in the day, when he had energy and movement going on as well. If he'd clip first and last words of lines from the songs the way he always did before someone had convinced him to try to sing the songs like the albums, this too wouldn't be a problem. He was always entering verses late and popping of a scream as opposed to the lyric here and there. It was better that way. That was the charm of a live Dave performance that I'm sure the veterans here would attest to. I've only got bootlegs to go on, and I would be completely satisfied with his 'anything goes' approach to handling the songs differently live the way he did back in the day.

    Dave's head would explode if he tried singing Light Up The Sky even remotely like it should be sung. Some things are better not heard and this is one of them. No, if VH is gonna do LUTS then they better have Ralph back stage on the mic while Dave does his little sissified dance routine in the middle of the stage. Cause that's all Rock Star Cool, you know.

    I feel ya, Bridge.

    But what I'm saying is that he had the chance to use those "tricks" with Chinatown last tour and it was still a disaster. Either he's forgotten how to use them or thinks he doesn't need to.

    He doesn't have the scream anymore to fill the gaps. All he has is that God-awful "yelp" sound that sounds like someone stepped on a dog's tail. And I'm not criticizing, he's an older dude and time and vocal abuse have clearly taken their toll. But what I can criticize is his even trying to attempt it. He knows his limits but consistently fails to abide by them.

    I've seen the classic shows on video, I personally witnessed shows on the 1984 tour when I was a young buck in my teens. I remember what he used to do, and it did work. But he can't expect to have that same bag of tricks at his disposal 30+ years later.

    The problem with an "anything goes" approach these days is how you define what "anything" is. Unfortunately, I think the definition of "anything" in this case is yelping and falling embarrassingly off the pace. And to that I say "no thanks" and would suggest they not even try.

    He was sick and it severely affected his voice...

    I don't think he was sick the whole way through. Possibly the first month or so. That's when there was the most blower ranting, profuse sweating, loogy hocking and lemon sucking. There's a sentence for ya.

    I watched a lot of if not most of the tour vids and as much as it pains me to agree with E there was health issues at some gigs the whole lemons scarfs and blower rants were connected. But some of it was Dave's attitude of meh to how he sings

    That, and continuing to suck down packs of Marlboro reds.

    That still never ceases to amaze me about Dave. How a man who, by all appearances, treats his body as a temple and is so disciplined by martial arts can continue to be a slave to cigarettes when he knows damn right well they severely compromise his health...and most certainly his ability to sing.

    Maybe the coughing wasn't sickness. Maybe it's the start of fucking emphysema or COPD

    And yes, I know that emphysema and COPD qualify as "sickness."

    I was referring to "common cold or flu" sickness.

    My memory may not be that great about this, but didn't they eventually just drop Chinatown out of the setlist altogether? I thought it got treated like the headset microphone. They tried it, it proved to be a poor choice, and it was dropped.

    If "illness" was the only reason for the problems then why wasn't it put back in when he was healthy?

    What they'll probably play is something very close to the set list of the last concerts, with few changes.

    I wouldn't mind at all if China Town was taken out. As well as Jump.

    Me Wise Magic, Stay Frosty and Drop Dead Legs are the best ideas, but very unlikely unfortunately, safe for DDL maybe.

    I'd like them to keep I'm the One, if only Dave could sing it like he did in 2007/08.

    Instead of And the Cradle will rock, which sounds odd with the piped in stuff, maybe they could play In a Simple Rhyme.

    Much to my regret I'm afraid they won't ever do Stay Frosty on stage.

    They need to throw in some more songs from WACF that haven't been played in decades.

    This is Van Halen 2015. Anything that makes one go "WTF" is in keeping with there mode of operation now and anything, no matter how trivial, which can offer a bit of surprise is welcomed as they have a tendency to go into a predictable mode. If it where not for Dave rambling off on various tangents and tones, it would be completely predictable... and their best stage prop for this tour should rely on the tried and true, midgets and strippers on stage lol
