Don't kill me guys, but I gotta go to sleep. After last night, this time zone thing on a school night is killing me. I guess I'm not 20 anymore
See you all in the am, hopefully with YouTubes.
If I miss Sinner's Swing or Dave without a shirt I promise I'll never miss part of a show again!

One of many for the night!

Gotta love Diamond Dave!
DLR just turned around to check his look in the Jumbotrom. Hilarious. #VanHalen— BlkIsTheNewBlk (@BlkIsTheNewBlk) April 30, 2012

We are all more like two 20 year olds in one. Should party twice as hard.

I think it's pretty safe to assume it'll be the typical structure, really there are only a four songs that are tossups. 4th song is either Romeo or Full Bug, and 18th song is either Girl Gone Bad or Outta Love Again with a remote possibility of Hang 'em High. Only other songs possibly in play are something instead of Hear About It Later at #9 and The Trouble With Never at #13, but other than the very beginning of the tour and a run of four shows from March 26 - April 1st, those two have been more or less fixtures. If there's any chance of getting a deep cut that hasn't been played yet, it'll be in that #18 slot. According to the guy I talked to in Reading, who believe me is VERY close to the band (has a tour pass), LUTS was actually on the official setlist in that #18 slot in Reading but Dave nixed it an hour before the show.

He WILL do LUTS just for me on this tour!!!

Hey Lou, long time man, hope all is going well. I see that you've hit a run of shows on this tour.

[loucap81]

Believe me I hope they do. I rank it as my third favorite VH song behind Unchained and Romeo.

Luckily my fourth and fifth favorite VH songs have been unexpectedly played this tour, Girl Gone Bad and Hear About It Later respectively. And Women in Love... is in my top 10.

If they do LUTS and Secrets (which if you saw that video on the VHND last week, it looks like they rehearsed it or at least thought about it) that would be divine.

True, but there also is that "Trouble" and "Blood" slot that could be good for another NEW tune.

Nice to see you too. Hard to believe that DLR show at the Spectrum was over 10 years ago. I was 20 years old. I hate how time moves like this.

And that would be awesome if they whipped out "As Is" or "HBSD." I think "Trouble" is one of the weaker songs on the album, not that it's bad but it doesn't excite me the way a lot of the other songs do.
