Van Hagar worst concert again!!
• Worst ’Dome show: Van Halen, Oct. 26
Out of many to choose from — Josh Groban, Sarah Brightman, Nickelback — Halen wins, simply because of how outrageously terrible they were and how ferociously those getting fleeced defended them.
(It wasn’t quite enough the city’s fans virtually sold the ’Dome clean at over $100 a pop while virtually everywhere else the tour tanked, but the aging hair band was reportedly contemplating action because a local radio station’s off-site T-shirt giveaway to fans may have cut into the group’s merchandise profits. Asinine, thy name is Van Halen.)
From the set list to the sound to the solos to Sammy Hagar’s act — which consisted almost entirely of shaking hands and signing autographs as opposed to, oh, I don’t know, actually singing — it epitomized all that’s wrong with far too many classic rock shows.
