[philouze]

Just woke up. First thing, thanks to all involved. Really.
About the setlist, I think it will bring surprises throughout the whole tour. That's what makes it so special.. A different kind of tour, indeed.
OK, I'm gonna make myself a coffee, will be back very soon.

Rock and roll stages can be dangerous places. Talk to anyone who has been on a road crew and they will show and tell you about all sorts of injuries. Falling or walking off the stage is a common accident. I would imagine one of the most dangerous stages is a KISS stage. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time you get cooked or blasted. One person told me when KISS sets up there is a shit load of propane in big canisters just to run all the fire effects for the show.

mohegan sun review: I didnt know kool and the gang wasnt playing, got in the areana for unchained. and from that point on was like holyfuckingshit.
Wolfgang bass playing was great, the kid is going to be great, the way these guys are playing is amazing, dave and ed realy look like they are true friends again.
,
As for Diamond David Lee Roth, the youtube vids do this guy no justice as far as his voice goes, This guy sounded fucking fantastic, His vocals was strong, and his stage show was fucking great.

Alex, does this guy fucking slow down, he's still hammering the fuck out of his kit like he;s 26 years old still.

as far as King Edward goes. Wow! this guy is the sound of the Mighty Van fucking halen. i never seen a guitar player beat the shit out of his strings with his pinky finger like ed does.

I have seen Van halen 13 times, and this is the 2nd time at mohegan sun, Van halen is like a fine wine, they seem to get better with age. this was the best concert i've seen ever.

girl gone bad! i never got to hear that song live, and man was it worth the wait. everybody wants some. when they went into the break down and stopped the music, the crowd got loud. real fucking loud, it gave me the chills. DLR seems to be jumping around a little bit more now, its nice to see him with a mic in his hands.

i went to this concert not knowing if i was going to get in. and on my way down there we called the box office and they finaly released some tickets, and booooh, i was doing the victory dance

I wanna thank Van Halen for bringing it, like no other band can. Until next week, hope to see some of you guys at the TD Garden.

ALSO, We recorded a show from the 08 tour in providence RI, if you guys tell me how to upload it to the site, i would be more than happy to share it with you, this was one of the shows they were gonna put on dvd and never did

PS. i like Van halen more than you. Roth and Roll bitches, Van Halen Is Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

The band was much better than 2007/2008. I think the biggest thing tonights show suffered from was a New York Hangover effect. Playing out in the sticks for a casino crowd after Ny,NY is probably anticlimactic.

I'm surprised any band these days can draw a casino crowd ---- lamest bunch of freebie fucks I ever seen in one place.

[TJMKID]

Hey everyone. Def a much more mellow night then either of the garden shows. I was bummed cause it was my last (probably), but the whole feel of the show, the crowd was more mellow. Even in VIP, I think lots of ppl who weren't die hards were comped tix and were just lame. The band was great, no mistakes, great set, Dave sounded good all the way, was funny, etc, but Dave did not have his NYC attitude working at all. Hard to describe. Just a different feel.

I fully expected a hangover from the 3-1-12 MSG show ---- that energy level is hard to maintain even for a young band of whippersnappers

LOL!


I will accept that.

I used to think I was the biggest DLR / VH fan on Earth. Then I stumbled upon the guys here. It would be like Tom Hanks in Cast Away going to the other side of the island & finding the guys from Lost.

If there was a hangover i didnt see it. This show kicked a lotta ass

Well the band looked great ---- but from the clips I've seen it appears the crowd was half asleep

[ELVIS]
