OK....the lights go down....

[Firebrand]

...the butterflies in your gut turn to condors as you hear the NOISE begin....

BUT....

What's your ultimate first song? What CVH tune is the ONLY one that will erase 23 years of frustration in the four minutes it will take to hear it open the "Inevitable Tour"?

For me: UNCHAINED.

....out walks Eddie, Alex and Wolfie...

and NO DAVE!!

The crowd starts chanting "Where's Roth?! Where's Roth?! Where's Roth?!"

Wolfie steps up to the center stage mic, and yells "Hey, I'M the new lead singer of Van Halen. My dad says so! Nyah, Nyah!!"

Setlist is as follows:

Mmm-Bop
Chipmunks Christmas Song

Some new Van Halen tunes given a live debut:
Hair One On My Nutsack
Uncle's Broken Neck Blues
Bass Player, Schmache Player
One Hundred Bottles Of Smoking Loon On The Wall
Right Now (Even Hagar Isn't Looking So Bad)
Hiding Out At 5150 Studios Blues
Cutting My Foot Stepping On Daddy's Meth Pipe Blues
Somebody Get Me A Doctor (No, Really, Because Dad Has Passed Out Again)
If You Don't Like These New Songs, You'd Better Be Wearing A Cup


Why Can't This Be Love
When It's Love
Love Comes Walking In
Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do
I Can't Stop Loving You

The entire Van Halen 3 album from start to finish


Encore: All three clasp hands stage-front center, bow, raise middle fingers, flee.

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Terry, I don't know ya, but dadgum, that's the funniest thing I've read on here maybe ever.

Heck, some sick part of me would actually kind of like to see this happen.....

I hope they open with "You really Got me" instead of always waitng for the encore. The crowd would get pumped. Let's try to be optimistic here. There's not much else to listen to...

[SoCalChelle]

Everybody Wants Some!

[BrownSound1]

How about Dirty Movies.

[Matt White]

ROMEO DELIGHT

[danzig]

I'd love to see them open with "Runnin' With The Devil" as a passing of the torch so to speak...

My bro JMJ and Miss diamondsgirl have already had many discussions speculating this upcoming scenerio.

Seriously, just thinkin' how epic it would be if the lights went down, we hear EVH "noodling" as the crowd gets pumped, then we have the old, infamous announcer yelling I GIVE YOU THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN!!! Then the spotlight shines down on WVH layin' down that famous bass, thumping intro... That will put the we miss "Mikey" crap to bed for good. :D

After that, one by one the lights go onto the rest of the band and they launch into that tune!!!

After that, say they do like two more i.e. "Romeo Delight" and "Unchained" then Dave pauses, milks the fuck out of the crowd with "LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE HERE TONIGHT!!!

*crowd goes extatic with both an epic and thunderous roar*

Fuck, I'm getting goosebumps and chills just thinking about it!!!

[cMb]

Man, there are so many that would work.
Runnin With The Devil (with the car horn intro)
Romeo Delight
Loss of Control
On Fire

Would be my pix

I say start with "I'll Wait" so the shitty song is off the plate right away.

Then bust into the songs that don't suck.

Honestly, I highly doubt as if "I'll Wait" will even be a part of the upcoming setlist. NEITHER parties have played in since the split. I know that Dave was always dead set against that song from the get go. Inspite of the stellar lyrics he put over it (negating Michael McDonald's chorus contribution) that song was just "hip" for the '84 tour. I'll bet $$$ we will not hear it.
