Shake off that fuckin' hangover already and throw up some clips you drunk bastards!!

One of my friends who wasn't much more than a casual Van Halen fan before the show--but is a diehard one now--recorded "Jump!" I'll if I can get it from him...

Ya' gotta love that about this band....their ability to turn people into diehards at this stage of the game. Awesome!!
A friend of mine is a badass guitarist, and he's been praising the hell out of the way Eddie's been playing lately..."He's on the verge of taking the guitar to a whole new realm...AGAIN!"

I thought that was funny.

Nobody wants to see fuckin' Jump...

And BTW, Jump is already on youtube...

[Von Halen]

The show was fucking killer!

From Dave announcing almost immediately that "this is a good fucking show tonight", to him chastising the fuck out of the crew for having the fans on, "Turn off the fucking fans. Fuck these people. You paid to get a good show, you deserve to get a good show." Or something like that! I am sure someone has it on video.

True to what VH said, they let me waltz right in with my Canon 7D and 70-200 2.8 lens. Unbelievable. I got some phenomenal pictures that I will post when I eventually get back to Michigan. Kudos to VH for being so cool about all the recording.

It was great to see the Army crew too. Twona, Shoes, Tommy and Zoey, Carmine and his gang, Moose and Dom. Sorry if I missed anyone. Great people, from a great site,

Now I just have to figure out where my next show will be...

It was a particularly bad version of "Jump!" as well...

I think he said that at least three times at various points. Kool and the Gang also said it...

I just woke up! What! No vids yet !!?? God dammit!! I have shows the next two days, I need some new live VH footage to get my blood pumping....

[SNIPER]

Secrets also... On the kick ass side of things...."Fools" That intro and Ed's Apocalyptic Riff loosens my fillings every time!

Ah yes, Secrets with the double neck guitar would be awesome. ...And that intro to Fools is classic. I love the way Alex swings that beat around towards the end. He is the timing master.

[SNIPER]

Now thats what I am talking about!! looking/sounding good!

They should rename it headin' to the parking lot.

Anybody else notice how Ed plays that part at 0:16 different these days? It bugs me a little ...It's not a fuck up, he just plays it weird. Also did it like this on 07/08 tour.

Based on that HFT video it looks like they were on fire!! Love it!
