[mh5150]

Here is the lineup:

1. Mad Anthony Express
2. Chickenfoot
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers
4. Van Halen w. David Lee Roth

JUST JOKING

[chefcraig]

You left out Extreme.

Here's a better line-up, and won't drive people out of the venue screaming in pain: The Eat 'Em & Smile Band (w/Dave), followed by Van Halen (also fronted by Dave). And have Blue Oyster Cult open, instead of some dreadful act like Kanye Marley, or whatever his goofy name was.

And no, I'm NOT joking.

I think Eddie following 'Don't Fear the Reaper' each night would be tempting fate...

While you are at it, give Patty Smyth a phone call and see if she wants to get Scandal back together again.

The Eat 'Em & Smile Band (w/Dave)

I still think that was a high-caliber kickass band!! If that line-up stayed together for a few years instead of being a one-off, we would've heard some killer tunes!

[sadaist]

I still vote CHEAP TRICK as the opener for the Mighty Van Halen. Best combo ever in my opinion. Talk about knowing every song from opening band to closing band. Nothin' but HELL YEAH!

Plus, I would really love to see Cheap Trick in front of 65,000 screaming stadium fans.

Considering how lightweight SkyCrapper turned out, I'm not so sure about that. And that was only their second (and last) record together.

I agree!! Cheap Trick would be an outstanding group to open or double bill with them! Anyone who has been floating around these boards who knows me, knows I would be SUPER happy if this could happen.

HELL YEAHS!!!!


Right now I'm on a YouTube Cheap Trick bender. The live videos do NOT do their shows justice. I absolutely love these guys. Every show they play as their last. They knock your socks off & melt your face from song 1 to the encore. Amazing!

If you have not already done so, by all means check out the show from Chicagofest in 1981. It will melt your speakers!
