    Oversized, inflatable microphone live

    Have noticed Dave pulled this solo routine out of mothballs (riding around the stage on an oversized, inflatable microphone) and is concluding the Van Halen shows with it.

    Is it just me, or is this routine mildly cringeworthy, especially in contrast with the performance Roth delivers for the rest of the show?

          It's a laugh. A bit of classic Dave buffoonery which this regimented and scripted tour needs more of, IMO.....

          I'll tell you what , though. I'd rather see him trade the inflatable mic. for one flying riser leap at the conclusion of "Jump" ! (see avatar)
          Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!

                              this mic has the vh logo on it. dave's recent venues were too small for such a large prop.

                                      It'd be funny as shit if Wolfie bounced around the VIP ramp on a Hippity Hop.

                                      Where's that option??

                                          Ed's gonna do his solo while riding a tri-cycle.

                                              The giant dmick is solo stuff, so it's surprising that it's been put on the menu of this tour.
                                              Dave clearly doesn't deliver as much physically as he got us used to; I won't complain, personally, as his vocals really make it!
                                              But I'm wondering why he just won't jump around at all... Does he have such big trouble with his knee and/or back that he's unable to do more than walk around about as Ozzy will?
                                              But then again, that's all right, as long as the vocals are there as they are!

                                                  I'm sure that he could handle some jumping. but he's not 25 anymore

                                                      He said Hippity Hop!

                                                      I could live without the large microphone.
