Maybe there is a 'blower' clause buried in the rider this tour?

i didn't notice it during the show but on one of the Youtubes i thought Dave's voice sounded a little off, like due to illness.

Hey, I loved your dog pix by the way. I gotta get something in that thread. T'was a great idea.

Yeah. I love to pimp out their pics & love seeing other peoples funny pets. You got quite the bruiser in your avatar. Looks like he's watching you bbq on the back deck and hoping you drop a steak.

Don't blink

You nailed it! He's an almost 10 year old puppy. The best is when your 68 lb muscle dog is sleeping on top of you on the couch on a Saturday afternoon and the doorbell rings and he stomps on your you know what to launch himself towards the door. That smarts.

i honestly did not notice much of a difference in the wings. the Pearl's pizza was good.

No you're right. The wings did not live up to expectations.

I think I need to start drinking again - I'm still really bummed out this is all over.

Did they sell male version hoodies at the show? I know there was a girl version Momshell bought. I'm hopeful but haven't seen one yet.

They did...bought the winter one for my son...it really is a kick ass looking hoodie even for the $100 price tag...

I'd pre-ordered both

Maybe YOU were trying to keep it a secret.

[IceCreamBlondie]

Man, you were REALLY close to the stage! You have some great pics of Dave looking straight at ya!

Great stuff....thanks for sharing!

[Carmine]

One thing I remember...although I do not remember which song it was...Wolf was killing it on the background vocals...Dave noticeably walked over to Ed...turned to look at Wolf...stopped singing himself...let Wolf finish the song and said..."that's the shit right there...that's the fuckin real deal"

I thought that was pretty cool...

Rock Show Critique review - link:

"The return of “Diamond” Dave and a revitalized Eddie Van Halen to Buffalo
was a triumph. Many people will be talking about this show for years to come."

I'm no Edsheep™. Anyone who has read me here knows that, but he was fucking "On Fire!" and tearing it up in Buffalo that night. For all the bitter comments I've thrown at Ed, it honestly brings a tear to my eye knowing that I saw him at his very best that night. I've never heard him play better, 1984 even. Bootlegs. The Six Pack. The Sam years. The Monsters of Crock tour. He fucking outplayed himself on "Live Without Any Nuts" on the solo. Fucking great stuff...

He made a believer out of a 30-year-old friend whose favorite VH song was "Jump!". He made a rebeliever out of me!

[ELVIS]

I've never heard him play better, 1984 even.

He's easily had way more spectacular moments, but he's much more consistant than he's ever been...
