I wear women's clothes! LOL.
The t-shirts available are usually men's and don't fit women very well. If you get one big enough to compensate for the boobage, they are too long to tuck in your jeans without looking ridiculous. Most are crew necks, which I don't care for; prefer an open neck. And if something comes in a women's cut, it's usually in some ugly neon pink or yellow. I just don't bother.
I enjoyed the show on Saturday, but it did not leave me wanting more. I'm satisfied. I love the album. I saw a great show. I'm good!
If they did come back to MPLS next year, I'd probably go again; but it's unlikely they will repeat venues. Green Bay would be the next closest venue for me, but again, I'm just not that moved to do it again.Leave a comment:

Random 45 I came across at a vinyl shop a few blocks from the Xcel. They had a decent condition record of their first album for $4 - seriously considered buying it - but already own that album. Kind of wish I would have now. They also had 45's of Goin' Crazy, and lots of other vintage VH, but none in their original sleeves.
P.S. Also had Spamulus Flatulas live 1980 album in the dollar bin. Heh heh...Leave a comment:

I feel bad for the critics who bash this magic.
They've never sung for 2 hours a night or played for 2 hours a night, only to do it the next night or every other night in this case.
So , the only question I have is.
How the hell are they qualified? Typing 60 words per minute? ok got it.
I get the chills every time. There's real chemistry here.Leave a comment:

Sure wish we could have hooked up for pints Northern Girl and 78/84. I asked several folks with Roth Army shirts their names, hoping they were you guys - but to no avail. Almost everyone I asked said they were members years ago but hadn't checked in here in ages. Many seemed surprised that the Army was still operational. Had a great conversation with a Canuck and his wife outside of Eagles for about a half an hour. Spotted his DLR t-shirt from the ALAE tour - complimented him on his attire. He had a bitchin VH tat on his shoulder - didn't even think to snap a pic of it. Next time we'll be a little more organized...
As for the future, I have a feeling this is the last time I will ever see Van Halen...Leave a comment:

Not sure how old Alex's son Malcolm is, but there was also a kid hanging out with Al behind the drums during the show - I'd guess about 12 or 13 years old - wearing a black concert t-shirt with the train on it. They horsed around quite a bit - and each ate a banana together at one point.Leave a comment:

Your the one who said you were embarrassed for him last night right ?? Yep Dave singing subpar sometimes is a fact !! He has his great moments every show. Always has. But he also has never been concerned with missing lines and coming into a song late. Ever ! It's who he is. It has nothing to do with his voice being strong at all. In 07 it was strong and that was great. I'm sure he was happy as hell he could sing that good for that tour. This one he can't. So he does what works for him. I think it's the dancing and showmanship this tour. If you feel I was going after you sorry.
That being said, it is still David Lee Fucking Roth

Very true. Lots of great bands around local or a big act. Great clubs to see a blues band or metal almost any night. To bad the reviewers all suck !! John Bream is good. He has been around forever. He did a great Led Zeppelin book a few years ago. Nice guy. The guy that did a good review also had that great photo with it from Pioneer Press. I don't think it was posted.Leave a comment:

I heard somewhere Big Al had a trash can to piss in behind his drums on the earlier tours. With all the tall beers he drank I am sure he needed that.Leave a comment:

You suck on lemons to clear mucus in the throat. I have post-nasal drip and I always have lemons backstage during plays.
AC really makes it bad too. I've had AC make my sinuses so stuffed that I couldn't even talk.
Wonder if Dave has post-nasal drip? I can't imagine what a bitch that would be for a singer!Leave a comment:

Quick little observation:
From my seat in section 120 I had a clear view behind Al's drum riser and could easily see the band as they would come and go and hang out during solos and other parts of the show. Any suggestion from supposedly credible rock news sources that there is infighting were put to rest by what I saw. The band not only were getting along great in the pit area behind the drums, they were actually being somewhat silly and having fun - lots of smiles (even from Alex!) and kidding around. When Dave left the stage for Al's solo and went down the steps to a small corridor under the big screen, the fans in our section gave him some love with lots of screams and whistles. Dave seemed genuinely appreciative of the gesture. With a huge smile on his face, he bowed deeply and blew us a huge kiss. Cool moment.Leave a comment:

He does it during the Downtown Sessions too.
I googled 'singers sucking on lemons' and got the answer.
Try it.Leave a comment:
