That is all.

No it isn't...

I think it's 100% genuine...

That's really what makes it good...

Dave is absolutely beaming and Alex is one big smile...

Edward is all smiles but still a little shy if you ask me, which was always part of his drunken smile stage persona in the old days...

But it's real, 100%

Make no mistake, the Mighty Van HALEN is back!!

Indeed....They are. Made the treck from South of Portland on I5. Water closed the road on the way up to one way North bound....Barely made it.

Scored unreal seats....Row 2....9 and 10. Pure fucking magic from my perspective, although Conmee's review needs no additions, in my opinion....Spot on.

One personal item worth noting....Ed was tapping his guitar with a drum stick for a minute or two...And...Low and behold, he tosses it, right into my lucky fucking hands. What a fuckiing night......Amazing.

Woke up at the Hotel Tuesday to find I5 was under 10 feet of water....No worries, a 300 mile detour over the river and thru the fucking woods and we were home free. I'd make the same trip tomorrow....In a heart beat.

The Mighty Van Halen is back. Long Live Van Halen!

Fuck, Combat!!!! That's awesome shit... Yeah, Wolf was banging on the cymbals right before handing it to Edward... saw him throw it into the crowd...

Fuck, I woulda traded one of my sluts and some blow for that drumstick!!!! uh huh uh uhhu huh

Woulda made your detour more enjoyable... lol

Yup. Ed and Dave goofed a bit and looked as though they were totally enjoying themselves.

Dave is nothing but class. Ed, while not perfect, left me completely satisfied. I am going to try and catch another show next year.

The giant video screen is spectacular. Close ups of fret boards, etc.

You are fucking retarded if you skip this.

If the blow , slut , and I hit it off......We'd be in fucking Omaha by now. Lol....

Nice review of the show......Mother Fucker!

Has Ed done the drumstick tapping thing on the other shows on this tour?

I've never seen him do that before in any other vids, and definitely not back in 1982.

I know Randy Bachman of the Guess Who/BTO has done that as well....

If Wolfie had a fake moustache he'd look just like the BTO singer...

What the heck is his name ??


:D

Burton Cummings. And yes there is a resemblance, oddly enough. (Actually that's the Guess Who, not BTO)

hope so...how about the rumors that dave was not doing the band bow recently and going offstage without the others...anybody confirming that?

btw...your US-journalists suck ass...why don't we read anything about how they travel (seperate hotels, busses and planes) and what is going on behind the scenes...all we get is howard stern "knowing" that dave and ed are "ready to kill each other"...

Well let me tell you, I thought it was quite genuine... good interaction between them... I think as I pointed out above that DLR is making a conscious effort to direct the spotlight to Wolf, Alex, and EDward throughout the night so no one feels left out.... Ed has a fragile ego for being a guitar god in a band named after him.... lmao... DLR finally understands that what is self-evident to all of us is NOT evident to EVH, and that is, EVH always needs that positive reinforcement. He's getting it this time... can't tell you how many times Ed had the spotlight FRONT AND CENTER on the stage, soaking in the adulation....

If anything seems weird or forced about it I think it's due to the fact that it's an ADULT interaction now... not just coked out DLR running around a drunked out EVH. They both seem to enjoy rocking out in sober fashion... and so yeah, it's not as loopy crazy because they aren't both fucked up... but it is genuine....

That is all.

Cheers conmee, much appreciated.

Lets hope they keep the momentum going :D

There was tension here. And bad singing....

could be just an off night.

wow, dave looks pissed that Wolfie put that hat on him, did you see how he took it off quickly and just threw it in the audience?

For what it's worth:

Did the mini back stage tour with the all access thing. We DID see Wolf, Alex, and Ed's dressing rooms---all pretty close together....But no Dave room. The I Love All Access babe stated Dave's room was on the other side of the arena.

Makes sense---Keep the partying away from Wolfie, in case Val shows up...Lol-- and more importantly....Edward.

She said this was a typical set-up on the tour. One thing IS for sure----She IS fucking hot....Sorry, off topic.

As for the band bow---all there. Prior to that---smiles, hugs, high fives....All good!

No shit. For some reason he wasn't in the mood for it...
