    Hello. New member; 1st post.

    Hey gang,

    Just joined and this is my first post so ease up if there's already a post/question about this..............

    Any word on actual tour dates/cities yet? And am I the only one scratching my head as to why they plan to do ampitheaters as opposed to arenas? I should imagine they would be able to pack arenas as they did back in the day especially since this has been such a long awaited reunion. It's not like people our age are pouring loads of cash out and going to alot of concerts these days with the horsesh*t that's out there today so we're about due for an outing to show these youngins what a parking lot tailgate is all about!!!!!

    I plan to be there regardless. I never missed a CVH show in Philly and I even fell for the Van Hagar shows a couple times. Having seen both lineups, it's incredible how many homos ended up being fans when Hagar the Horrible joined. Couldn't even "light up" without getting frowned upon. How the hell else was I going to get through "I Can't Drive 55?" LOL

      Not a word yet on the Ticketbastard or Pollstar sites. The choice of ampitheaters over arenas, I'm guessing is that it's a summer tour and they would rather play outdoor venues than under a concrete & steel roof. I know I've seen Dave's band in both indoor and outdoor venues in recent years and definitely preferred the outdoor shows.

      Part of that was the venue itself though. Just can't beat The Gorge for a concert setting.

      If I had to guess, I would expect tickets to go on sale right around the time of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, so they can take advantage of the publicity.

      This would be similar to what the Police just did, announcing their tour right after the Grammy appearance.

          Welcome to the ARMY.

          You will get several opinions on your question, but as I read one post, most Classic VH fans are now in their late 30's/40's, have mortgages, kids, and may or may not attend, as opposed to when they were younger (less responsibilities).

          You also have something called the "Great Divide", meaning Classic VH fans are not Van Hagar fans and visa versa. With that factor, I don't think VH can truly expect the fan base to be what it was 23 years ago. So, I think they are playing it safe with starting out at smaller venues as opposed to arenas.

          I do think they will play Staples Ctr. (Arena) once they return "home" to Los Angeles for the last of their 40 gigs.

                  Welcome Bonzo, the VH Philly show should be awesome. I'm going to try and make it. Depends on the date. I'm 600 miles away.

                              Funny Elvis. If I return to the Philly area I will want to see some friends and spend a couple days. For me, I work quite a bit, so It depends on the dates, vacation time etc.

                                  Hey Now, Frank.

                                  If I had to guess(and that's what I gotta do)I'd say the long-time VH fans will show up with or without Spammy Pajammy,and the Roth fans will FINALLY show up. Gonna be interesting to see if they add dates(crossed fingers) or implode.

                                  I don't trust VH just yet,but I hope it goes well...

                                  Not performing @ the RRHoF kinda makes me wonder if this is not more about Prodigy not ready than playing with Mike.

                                      Surely he could be ready to do a couple of songs.
