Is there a Meetup for this show?

There probably should be!

[IceCreamBlondie]

There probably should be!

Where should it take place? Someplace at LA Live across the street from Staples? (Like the ESPN sports bar)

[jhale667]

Someplace staggering-distance close would work...not sure what time BAntonelli and I are showing up...

Funny thing happened today. Wife says you excited for Sat? That's an understatement! She goes on to say Fri was perfect so much better than the 3/7 shows she went with in 07/08 to her said perfect setlist balancing new with old. She hated Dave's Inflto Mic and props last round loving the straight less is more stage and just rocking, then For the 1st time cranks up the disc. Like I mentioned before she never liked Dave much from even the old days, said he was cocky and arrogant. Took her 20 years to finally Get Him. Now she not only respects him but admires his efforts from EMT to most fit frontman Ever. Only part we aren't agreeing on now is she loves Trouble with Never while she skips Blood and Fire, hit skip button. Had to show her the hair on my arms all on end and started it over! Must say very nice to argue about which song to hear instead of we're not listening to Van Halen, can tell she really wants to go again. Kings cap it off tomorrow what a run, and for a Lakers fan what a Celtic series, beat LeBronSquad and gladly keep the trophy edge with Rondo props. Been one hell of a week in Staples since last Fri, Kings wrap Wed. then Saturday will this be last L.A. Show? wouldn't miss it for anything. Hoping it's fact Bottoms Up was played tonight in San Jose. If TWN is gone for it & we get the Light Up the Sky SoundCheck it will be perfect for this MoFo.

Matt and I got itinerary today, we check in at 4:15 for what will indeed be the perfect Bookend to the 8 days O'Halen in the City of Lights Homecoming!

Are you excited? She asks.... Something like that

That may be cool spot after, will not indulge until post show. Just learned the hard way from 1984 last LA show as CVH not tons of detailed memories ;-)

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Pretty sure I walked through that place when I parked my car across the street from the Staples Center looking for Lakers gear in February before the Forum show.... Looks like plenty a watering hole....

[VAN HLN CA]

After seeing the San Jose videos Dave has really become unleashed even more. Now that the first show that really gets reviewed and over critiqued is out of the way, they are going to really give us some Ass Whooping that will can really include just about anything at this point, Dirty Movies, Fools or open with Loss of Control. Nothing would surprise at this point.
What a great run, 07/08 the only surprise was removing a song from set once Little Guitars & Dreamer? This tour it's what are we going to get hit with tonight, better, totally better As Is.

I'm sure looking forward to seeing Dave more unleashed!! And if they can replace some songs and add instead Little Guitars, Blood and Fire, Stay Frosty or As is, I'll be in Halen Heaven!

Thanks for your thoughts.....

Anyone else interested in a meetup? Before show or after?

Anyone looking to purchase a pair of VH Tix for this gig (6/9/12 at Staples, LA)? I have a pair of tix purchased by my friend who got them thru Azoff's Office when she got my tix (I'm going with Jay Hale and this pair of seats is next to us).

These are "VH guest seats" and will most likely be to the right of the stage (Ed's side). I cannot guarantee where exactly our seats are in terms of which row we are located, but as I said, these were special tix purchased thru Azoff's office, so they should be good, if not prime seating.

If interested, please contact me at berniceantonelli@gmail.com - email me and I'll get you further details.

It's fairly safe to say 25 hrs from now the City of Lights will be electric all around. While the guys are launching Unchained will most likely be same time Kings hoist 1st Stanley Cup so combine VH going off while Downtown & L.A. Live goes nutso across the street. When folks step out of the concert wondering why are people burning fires in the street and turning over police cars........Good Times Indeed. Glad I know those mean streets well in case we need a quick escape route, fun timing for all.

DAMN, so amped even more than last week. WE'RE iN FOR A VERY LOOOONG NiTE!

I thought the "City of Lights" was Paris.

A VH gig, and then running the Escape From L.A. gauntlet after...sounds like a party.

Vancouver Canucks fans may be depressed that they didn't make it to the Stanley Cup this year, but I'm sure they will be happy to hand the fan riot title over to LA

[sadaist]

Oh shit is right. Man. It's gonna be fucking live in LA tomorrow night. HAHA! Have fun guys. Can't wait for the updates.

Best part is the sheep and lemming are going to walk out and think its CVH/Roth fans celebrating the final night at home.
Hey Mona, those be some rowdy Mother Fuckers ;-)

The real fondue dipping is that Sunday night down the freeway, is the triumphant Chickenfoot L.A. Show where at even 2/1 half Tix selling for less than face value at the Greek Theater. Staples holds almost 20k & Greek is less than 5k. At least Sam can attend Sat incognito...

So sad for the Greek theatre ...its a great place anyhow....

Was that 20 years ago? Not much smog in L.A. Emmisions are more strict in CA than rest of nation so maybe it was haze, marine layer is typical throughout the seasons.

2002 to be exact.....if you want more useless information from me....yes I convinced my wife to drive by 5150 and there was a for sale sign in front of the entrance at the time....and after this detour I needed to pee and I got a freekin ticket for a natural need...damn it!!!

[DLR'sCock]

Have a killer show kids!

[Momshell]

At least Sam can attend Sat incognito...

Then there'd be two riots!! Unleash the army on the actual Spam!! HAHA! I might fly into LA just for that!

[Momshell]

Have a great time everyone going - should be a killer show!
To all my online show buddies - I'm most likely gonna miss this one too - going on a family overnight vacation to a local indoor waterpark/resort place. Since we'll be in a hotel room, I don't think the family will appreciate me click-clicking away on my iphone at midnight when they're trying to sleep! Of course, I'll see what I can do! I'll miss you guys.

[Sensible Shoes]

Kool, and the gang were on Leno last night and he plugged the show.....

[SNIPER]

Chickenfoot's second leg of their mammoth U.S. tour is going to be performed solely at Greek Diners all across the country. Everyone in attendance gets a free side salad with their meal.
