Well our friend Fan Halen is at the show tonight and he has been kind enough to talk with me via instant messenger tonight about what's been going on.
So here's the rundown, the show just ended at 10:30 PM Eastern Time.
He says the band sounds great, all of them sound like they haven't missed a beat. The band has been very animated and tons of interaction with the crowd. Ed has even been slapping some of the fans' hands.
Sammy has been signing autographs as he's singing. He's also been filling up cups of beer and giving it to the audience.
Ed's got the same samurai hair going, shirtless with cargo pants. Mike's in a vintage VH t-shirt and jeans. FH says Sammy "should be in Cabo," so I guess we know what he's wearing. Al is wearing a white headband and is shirtless as well.
Tons of banners being thrown up on stage, reminds him of the LWAN video, for a good analogy.
Here's the set list so far, I know JMJ posted it earlier, but this has a little more detail to it.
1. Jump
2. Runaround
3. "My Generation" riff (The Who)
4. Humans Being
5. Up For Breakfast (with the 5150 Kramer)
6. Mikey's Solo (with the JD bass)
7. Somebody Get Me A Doctor (with Mike on lead vocals)
8. Poundcake
9. It's About Time
10. Al's Solo
11. Top Of The World
12. Unchained
13. Why Can't This Be Love? (all singing)
14. Eagles Fly
15. Deeper Kind Of Love (I would assume Sam solo)
16. Learning To See
17. Best Of Both Worlds
18. Eddie's Solo (no Wolfie)
19. Dreams
20. Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
21. Right Now
Encore:
22. You Really Got Me
23. Panama
24. When It's Love
That's where he is so far, I'll update the set list in this post as the night goes on.
Ed was very moved by reaction to his solo, really thanked the crowd.
There's about 75 or so people in the ring, and about 10,000 in the audience. It's very packed FH said, especially for Greensboro, the way upper levels are covered with black tarp.
A great light show during "Right Now." Also during that song, updated the video for it with stuff about Bush and the Iraqi War, combined with the old footage.
There's one main middle screen that FH says looks like a planet, then two smaller side screens.
Ed is moving around well, he's not running around. But he's jumping here and there.
FH says Sam is very energized and animated. His voice sounds great.
Sam has been running around on the ring all night, Mike has been up there from time to time. Eddie not very much at all.
Sam thanked the fans before they started the encore, really appreciated everyone sticking around all these years. Has kept his sunglasses on most of the show.
Ed has played that orange sunburst Wolfie the entire show except for the 5150 Kramer on "Breakfast."
Eddie just said it's the "best day of his life."
So there ya go, first night is in the books!!!!!!
