Priceless. You're raising him well.

We're doing out best!!

It's the perfect mesh of old and new. Passing on the ancient art of following your favorite band to hell and back....and then talking about it on the interweb in real time!!

Just like Dave says.... "It's like watching "Dragnet" on your iPod..."

[Zempi]

I noticed the non costume change too. I think he did not feel that well...but the trooper he is he pulled it off anyhow. Amazing that we love the guys so much we don't get upset at screw-ups...we smile at them (Referring to those glaring moments)

Anyone going to any other shows?

[fryingdutchman]

Right before the Van Halen set started an enormous gentleman sat down in the seat next to me... he jotted the entire setlist down with a pen and one of those little wire bound memo pads... strange.

He jotted down the setlist BEFORE they performed it?

That is intriguing....

Given his size and Sesh's observation, was he wearing a Spammy-era VH rings shirt?

No... he was jotting them down as the show was going on.
But the setlist does seem 'fixed' in a flexible way... the #4 (Romeo Delight - The Full Bug) and #18 (Girl Gone Bad - Outta Love Again - Hang 'Em High) and the occasional swap between #1 & #12 (You Really Got Me & Unchained) are where they have been mixing it up.
I held on to hope for as long as I could that 'Outta Love Again' was gonna turn out to be 'Honeybabysweetiedoll'.
Unless they do an overhaul... I'd suggest crossing your fingers after 'Women In Love' if you are hoping for a surprise.

My son nearly ripped my arm off during Dave's "dog speech" and said, "Dad...he's plucking some of the notes from "Stay Frosty!" Do you think he might....????"

For a brief moment I gave in to whimsy and thought they might do it, but then reality grabbed my brain and brought me back.

That would have been mindblowing....

[Carmine]

Mad props to Momshell for posting the setlist "as it happened."

Again...

...and I told her in AC...she gets my vote for "Best New Member of 2012"!!

I would be happy if he'd just play the acoustic intro to Stay Frosty, then go into ICM - but Stay Frosty is so bad-ass that it really should be played in full at least once on this tour.

Getting primed for a badass night of Roth-n-Roll!!

VERY COOL! Pictured you guys being taller.

Anybody else notice that big section of seats behind the soundboard that remained relatively empty?
Are those casino comp seats or something?
Just thought it was weird that the whole place was packed except that one section.

It smells funny in here....and it ain't cologne!

That was probably self-tanner

Yes, we all noticed it. It made me question the idiot reviewer's comments about a "sold out Boardwalk Hall."

But I think your question nails it. Those seats were probably purchased by the casino, but never used.

That's the one thing I don't like about the AC shows....the casino idiots and high-rollers who just seem to wander in. We had some Bono look-alike and his woman next to us who were pathetic. You know the look...jet black (obviously dyed) hair, leather blazer, white shirt open at the chest, green-tint shades on, etc....)Showed up late, left early, and the woman spent part of the show sitting and lolling her head back like she was fighting to stay awake.

Did you also notice how many people were clueless about both the new stuff from ADKOT and the deep cuts from the 6 pack? A lot of people sat down during "Tattoo", "The Trouble With Never", "She's The Woman", and "China Town."

More people than I would have cared to see also sat down for "Outta Love Again" and "The Full Bug." I think at one point I heard some assclown say "is this new stuff?" during "The Full Bug."

Those are the people that you just want to punch in the face and say "Why the fuck are you even here? If you're waiting for "Dreams" or "When It's Love", just fucking leave right now 'cause it's not gonna happen."

[Catfish]

Had to wait for my son and his buddy to roll in from college.

Fucking brilliant idea to have KATG open the show... 'it's too hot!'

Here's a pic I took... I was trying to reply to momshell's sellout post but my battery was dying.
