The Ultimate Van Halen Set list!!

[tripper]

Now of course this is according to what I personally would love to hear. If I were given 25 songs (I guess this is what they are hinting at, right?) anyway, I’ll also take into consideration for this list songs I’ve heard quite often (VH, Sammy and Dave) and obviously songs I really want to hear bad! Now please as you read on---keep in mind I CANNOT include every VH 1978-84 era song. I LOVE EVERY song, but you have to stop and cutoff somewhere, right? OK, here we go.



(all in no specific order)



Where Have All The Good Times Gone! (would be an appropriate opener, huh?)
Unchained (Great opener/ or closer)
D.O.A super shredder off of II
Dance The Night Away
And The Cradle Will Rock!!
Mean Street---may be the goddam meanest riff of the night (no pun intended)
Hot For Teacher (note—not that is particularly means anything but DLR has used this as an opener the last 6 years or so)
I’ll Wait---gotta hear the freaking guitar solo in the middle of this song---it would be phenomenal!!
Jump
Panama
Runnin’ With The Devil—would be an absolute AWESOME opener (cars horns starting it off? Crowd would lose it!!!!!!
Atomic Punk
I’m The One –would be an awesome closer!
Somebody Get Me A Doctor! OMG does this tune ROCK!!!!
Hear About it Later---a genuine special treat for real Van Halen fans!
Pretty Woman (with Intruder intro) ---Intruder would build this up like no tomorrow!
Little Guitars –nuff said
Aint Talkin Bout Love –is ANY Van Halen concert really complete without this rocker? No, I didn’t think so!
Jamie’s Cryin
Light Up The Sky----read # 15
So This is Love? Does the words classic Van Halen come to mind when this song is heard?
Outta Love Again …once again read # 15
Feel Your Love Tonight
Everybody Wants Some!!!!
Beautiful Girls


Totals: (just for kicks let’s see the Albums breakdown)



VH I= 6

VH II= 6

WCF= 2

FW= 4

DD= 3

1984= 4



TOTAL=25

pretty good.

This is from a post I put up about 2 weeks ago

NOT a big fan of Jump or I'll Wait (hate keyboards) but they will play Jump for sure to appease all the casual fans / nostalgia seekers. I included them since this is what I would like to see them play plus which songs I KNOW they will play (Jump)

These are just MY personal favourites:

There's a few more but thats my ultimate 25 as the double songs on the same line were ment for changing up on diff shows.

I really hope they decide to add some shows soon and come to So. Fl so I can make the concert! If not guess I will be headin North!

Great song...its in my list above. Never heard a live version on YouTube or anywhere. Hearing Al's intro and Ed's opening riff live would be ridiculous ! "Got the big deal in the back of a limoooo !" "You remember when that girl was prom queen? Oh Waaahhhhwwww!!! "

Id go APE SHIT !

I like this set list!! Bottoms Up is one of my favorites, I hope to god they play it. I wanna hear Little Dreamer as well, my all time favorite Van Halen song, but chances are they won't play it. Ah well, can't have everything.
