Dont think Chad and Joe are much into partying. Sammy and Mike sure are. Maybe that's why they get along so good - they're always half lit.

I just can't see dropping the cash for basically the same show they've put on the last two times out. IF they go back out with Jesus on bass, then they better play some shit we ain't heard on the last two tours.
You guys are a bit jaded you have seen them lots , if they wanna flog the cash cow and milk the dead horse one more time they need to play places they aint been in years . Mikeys house
Come to the rest of the world we have money to give you for all your tacky shit.
They played a handful of songs that they hadn't played in concert in over 30 years this last time around, but overall yeah I agree, they need to spruce things up....
Get a stage that isn't boring as fuck.... Personally, I'd like to see the side platforms they had on the '84 tour and one jutting out to the crowd at center stage.... And, oh yeah, lose the Liza Minnelli dance floor....
Dig deeper in the catalog, i.e. DOA, Drop Dead Legs, Light Up the Sky, Sinners Swing, etc......
And hey Ed, how about a new solo for the first time in over 30 years......
Exactly.
The stage really needs to be updated. I know Ed's a cheap bastard, and I'm not expecting the Mother Ship lighting rig from the old days. But anything would be an improvement over what they've been using. I mean, it's supposed to be Van Halen! Spend a few damn dollars and get a real stage!
And the solo , Fucking hell some of the stuff on ADKOT was great he was totally back to playing well, well better than that vegas gig. Surely he could throw something new in .
Drop Dead Legs really needs to be played live. And the fact that they have played it instrumentally in soundchecks (even during the Velveetapalooza 2004 tour) means they haven't forgotten how to play the song.
But they definitely need Sobolewski back for that one. His harmonies are essential to that chorus.
And should he come back, I'd love to hear the band take another shot at "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" too. As far as I know, that one was only played once or twice on that South American tour in 1982, right? I suspect the original plan at the time was for that to be the "single" from the live album that was supposed to be released back then, but was pulled by WB at the last minute.

Had Mexican food tonight. Broke out the Mad Anthony's sauce.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
It's good sauce and I ain't kidding. It's got some flavor to it. I use it in my beef jerky recipe as well. Makes a difference.
Wolfie wants this to happen it will. Plus if ROTH can come back Mike can come back money talks!!
The main problem with the '07-'08 stage was that they had the "S" jutting into the crowd, but it was RARELY used !! Dave used it 1 or 2 times per show, and Wolf maybe once, but since EVH used the wired setup, he was tethered to the main stage....
I'd be satisfied if they just had one at center stage, a la US Festival or 1984.....
The ADKOT tour stage looked like bare bones, cheap-ass.....
And I'm pretty sure that screen was supposed to be color, but I think they were having problems with it....
That's a good attitude VAiN, but the dance floor has got ta go. Bump out the stage a little bit and add a dozen or so empty cabinets and the '12 stage would have a had an '84 vibe.
Well I want a big ass stage, some killer lights, a wall of speakers like on the ALAE tour and then at the end they shoot Sammy out of a cannon into the audience! Just get 50 Slappy mannequins made up and fire em out at the end of every show. Oh, and I want Wolfie to be hooked to a harness and fly around the arena like an Angel.
I figured the b&w screen was mostly because it takes a few years off the appearance..
I want fucking attitude. I want "I'm master of the universe, I'm fucking cool, and guess what folks, we are here to rock your little world TONIGHT!" Make me feel special just to be in your presence because you are so fucking awsome and give me goose bumps. Hell. A good concert is almost like mind blowing sex.
Don't forget Kody... install one of these in Ed's speaker cabinets and turn Kody loose during Runnin With the Devil!!!
Give him his own HD Rat Cam™ to capture the action live on the Diamond Screen...
Good idea! They can actually slap a camera on Kody and just turn him loose in the audience. The band doesn't even have to play - just stream the footage of everybody petting the dog on the big screen. Now THAT is how you put on a rock show!
During Ed and Al's solo have Russ go herd the audience around... Have him go cut a few middle-aged MILF's out of the herd and work em until they drop!!
Here. We. Go.
Why is my monitor "BLINKING"??
Just had a thought imagine if the "upcoming good news" gets posted on Christmas day and it's a 2014 pic of Dave, Eddie, Alex and Mike announcing full power again. I'd probably pass out....I like to dream, imagine is the key word haha. I've trained myself to get excited for the next "thing" VH do rather than succumbing to excitement over rumoured reunions, albums, live albums, blu-rays, boxsets, documentaries and tours.
