Other than that fat fuck in the bowling shirt who almost had his dental history erased, I have to say it may have been the best Van Halen show I have ever seen.

It's funny seeing 2012 people react to the mighty Van Halen. "Tweets" about Van Halen. Give me a break! The vapid, stupid, TMZ culture is just a fucking joke cuntpared to the beer drinkin', hell raising', kick ass rock and roll lifestyle. I'll take the hardcore classics over the disposable bullshit of 2012.
People are so gay these days. Not that there's anything wrong with that.gnaw on itComment

Look for HFT on the youtubes. The ending was STELLAR. Dave: "that was the best one yet".
shit, wish I had more time to write this am, but gotta get work done. Just know this y'all: they keep getting better on this tour. What a fuckin' night!!!
This is silly, but my favorite moment might have been when my 11-yr old, all on his own, raised his right hand during SGMAD and did the train whistle right on fuckin' cue! Proud moment for dad....
Also, Dave did the substitute teacher joke during HFT about Panama being down the hall and 5 songs from now...exactly 5 songs later, the kid looks over at me as Panama kicks in and holds up 5 fingers and a big grin - guess he was counting....David Lee Roth's the greatest motherfucker who ever lived!

Best VH show I have seen since back to back nights at the old Checkerdome in the summer of 1984. The band sounds great. DLR had a good night. He ducked a few high notes and did not use his low speaking voice on the interludes from the new material (Tattoo and TTWN) but I thought he played the vocals pretty straight all night. He did "forget the words" on Outta Love and invited the crowd onto the chorus like he was a tour director (he said he was allowed to do so since he wrote the damn lyrics). At his request, all air conditioners at the arena were turned off so it got a bit "sweaty" on the floor. But well worth it as DLR was not distracted by any technical issues (except a quick order for the crew to turn off a broken monitor on stage right). Very impressed by Wolfgang. Pulled off the unison runs with EVH on STW and CT very well. Backround vocals were clear and strong. EVH played impeccibly all night -- the only time he struggled was with a few of the higher arpeggios on Cathedral, seemed like the timing of his the delay with the volume knob swells were a little off with the left hand hammer ons -- but I did not hear an off note for the rest of the show. Al was rock solid all night -- drum solo is indeed much shorter than prior tours, with the jazz/latin samples throughout. The band seemed to be in good spirits and interacted well. DLR smiled with his Cheshire Cat grin whenever he was not hamming it up and doing little dance steps. There really is no let up in the set -- no messing around between songs, very little time to catch your breathe and no encore per se. Just classic VH, delivered steaming hot with no BS.Comment

Actually ---- there's a lot wrong with it.
When I see all these dumb 20-something cunts sending out Tweets like "God I miss Sammy" ---- these are the same people who are taking over the next generation from us. These cumstain cowboys are the next wave of CEO's and politicians who will control America.
That makes me vomit chunks.Comment

I traveled from South Mississippi to Greensboro on the last tour. Was a trip to remember. The city was great. The show was amazing....but the road trip there was the worst I'd ever encountered. (Tire blowout, Atlanta traffic, mutliple car accidents tying up the roads for an hour at a time). There was a split second where I almost said, "Fuck it" and turned around...and then I remembered it'd been 23 years that I'd waited to see Dave and Ed on stage together again and then it became a mission.
At the show I was wearing a shirt that said, "It Ain't Van Halen Without David Lee Roth." I still can't remember where I ordered that from....possibly DDLR site. Some dude came up to me and said, "You're one of the crew!" I forgot I was wearing the shirt and didn't know what the fuck he was talking about...and he pointed at my shirt.
I uploaded my video for "Runnin' With The Devil" that night when I got back to my hotel and Blabbermouth picked it up and the hits were ridiculous...then I uploaded my other vids and they took off too. VH was back and all was right in the world.
This posting is probably best suited for the Greensboro thread...I like to pay close attention to the things I'll forget later...Comment
