Official July 5 Seattle, WA, White River Amphitheatre Meetup/Review Thread

[Von Halen]

This is not a Rachmaninoff concerto.

That said I think they look under rehearsed.

What? What the fuck is that?

Dave is definitely under rehearsed. Good thing he doesn't care about charging those poor saps going to the early shows, big bucks to see him rehearse! Maybe by the end of the tour he'll be in top form.

Dave seems like he is just going through the motions. He used to seem really fired up to perform this music. Now it looks like it's a job to him.

[Whorehey]

Excellent comments, you disrespect the show you weren't, at..... then remind us of your (the) credibility, of your ability to make that comment by stating for us all; to see and know about you, how much you like some studio albums from 30 years ago.


All the while advertising a golf club manufacturer on a baseball cap, image, in you AV, that I am sure your aren't being paid for.

So what should we know, you are a great golfer and thus you must let us know that you have a golf club manufacturer on a hat....are you more interesting than the people you want to see that ?

Thanks for your interesting comments: that let us know you do not enjoy VH but have a CD or two that you do like...nice!

Umm...translator, please?

First night nerves or more likely I think under rehearsed as a band for whatever reason.

It's rock n roll not boxing so they will get away with it.

Think the only person not ready AGAIN was Dave. Sorry.

As evidenced by the rehearsal photos...who wasn't in them? See how Dave does, timing-wise, remembering lyrics etc a few shows in. Don't look for the jazz hands and slip and slide routine to go away though.

Stage looks small. Like Al is closer to the edge of the stage. I wonder if that's just the venue.

The Internet is a mean place.

I think it was back in the DDLR days when I said "the world is a rough place, why should the Internet be any different?"

[Von Halen]

Dayam.

Fuckfish, if you have a different number, PM it to me.

Excellent 284 wasted comments..what will be 285..?

Umm...translator, please?

Don't bother. That fucking carrot makes zero sense. Ever.

[Catfish]

As the hugest DLR dicksuck in the history of the Internet, I'll even say I've had it with his slip 'n slide thing and now those goddamn bowling shoes. What the fuck? That fucking Electric Boogaloo thing is 10-times bigger than it was last time. How the fuck will the rest of the band move around without hurting themselves? That fuckin thing should have some cones or signs on it, Ed's on a new hip for Christ's sake. Isn't there a civic law about that stuff? That sliding around shit was cool at first but I'm tired of it. Next thing you know the son of a bitch is going to take the stage in ice skates.

[clarathecarrot]

Perhaps you could tell us about some other albums you may or may not have in your all time collection that also hav nothing to do with today or this thread...that would be cool.

[Von Halen]

By the way, I am out rolling around in the VH Buggy on this beautiful evening. Jamming the Women And Children First disc!

[WARF]

Hey Von Halen now that catfish is back can you make him a supermod and Fire twonabomber and see if TWONA freaks out and quits lol

[Von Halen]

That sliding around shit was cool at first

No it wasn't!

[clarathecarrot]

Don't bother. That fucking carrot makes zero sense. Ever.

I bet you have a ticket to see the VH tour.

After spending the last year spewing your dislike for this band commenting on all the press and then stating how you won't see a tour show.

PS. I never make any sense..I am only here for you to comment about other posters comments about me, that makes perfect sense.

[Catfish]

Fuckfish, if you have a different number, PM it to me.

Where's Waldo?

Where's Wooda?

I recall once sending you an invitation on the Facebook to become my friend and you ignored it. That hurt my feelings, old friend.

My favorite bootleg. I fucking LOVE the US Festival! That was when Van Halen was Van Halen!

My first VH concert was actually a way better experience. VH played the second night of a two day show. It was crowded but it wasn't impossible to move around like it is as some of the other larger festivals I've been too. I think they were considered a co headliner that day with Aerosmith. The first day it was Ted Nugent and Cheap Trick. The two bands that impressed me most were VH and Trick. Here's a video that'll give you an idea about the atmosphere but the music was dubbed in later.
