Curious if anyone noticed... Does Ed's wife hang around in the soundboard area off Ed's side of the stage?

I've noticed him clowning around while playing in that specific direction in pictures from almost every performance. Also seems he's focusing that direction when he appears to be having a blast playing guitar... Just wondering who he's clowning for...

[VanHalener]

Sorry ZahZoo, didn't notice her there. I did see Ed playing to the camera now and again. There is going to be some awesome footage on the tour DVD

Lou's the man!! I think this is show #4?
Crazy bastard

6 I think.

[Seshmeister]

Why do I see all anti-Lou posts? what is the background on that? I used to be at DDLR board and I thought I vaguely remember this..

When he was young he could be astonishingly pissy and annoying about all sorts of things from trading mp3s to some pretty extreme politics.

He grew up and by all accounts became a nice guy but I don't think he will post here fearing old arguments would start up again.

There have been quite a few good posters that we've lost over the years because of that, unfortunately....

ZahZoo....here is the video I shot from Manchester. That's Janie in the black and white outfit getting her picture taken right before Al hit's the stage. She sat there the whole show. Al's wife watched from there as well.

More to it than that. Lou was and still is as far as I am concerned an authority on Van Halen bootlegs. He also had a tremendous knowledge of past shows in general. He was very anal about flac in general. He was a purest when it came to that stuff. Flac files had to stay flac files because when you convert then it changes the finger print blah blah blah. He was responsible for liberating a lot of shows as well.

It's just a message board (no offense) but a great place for a common interest. Perhaps the lost members don't post but maybe they still read. I cannot imagine being that 'upset' over someone in cyberland that I never met, to cause me not to want to post...unless there is a comprable site about DLR/VH.

Number one, there is no comparable site.
Number two, people come and go. Just like I did.
Number three, and this doesn't apply to Lou at all, you gotta have a thick fucking skin to hang out here.

Since I am here, I will post a couple pics from the Reading show...though I could move them..

Lou had the thickest skin in the history of the Roth/VH boards.
