Official Van Halen 2012 Tour Setlist Thread

[Seshmeister]

Reasons for my choices of the 8 are

There is bound to be a drum solo.
I think Wolfie likes Romeo Delight as an opportunity to shine, it used to be an opener
Roth seems to be a fan of Mean Street doing it on a TV show and acoustically in the last decade.
Atomic Punk and So This is Love are big songs
Pretty Woman was a hit (unfortunately)
Little Dreamer or Jamie’s Cryin’ bit of a coin toss but LD slightly better known
I'll Wait - Successful single. (They really shouldn't do it for a couple of reasons hopefully Roth may veto)

Merging, try to do a little searching before starting a new thread....

[Glitter Tot]

My apologies, will do.

[dopie]

Girl Gone Bad would be a cool first.

[Seshmeister]

What does Bashful think?

[damngoodtimes]

hey, all you Roth Army soldiers. I posted this in the Louisville thread, but this looks like a better choice

Last tour at opening night in CLT I texted setlist updates to one of the other members (I think it was at Von's site) during the show.

since I'm gonna at opening night again (this time in KY), I could do the same, if we get a volunteer on the other end. Let me know.

I thought about posting directly to the site from my phone, but it's just a bit too cumbersome for a simpleton like me.

Dropping Atomic Punk? In 07, Everyone went nuts for that. I like OUTTA SPACE, Somewhere in the first 3-5 songs. That will get anyplace, anywhere in the country rock'n.

[Vinnie Velvet]

Getting close to opening night.

Any word on the complete set list?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Nope, and wouldn't hold much stock at all in the Forum setlist, since it was shortened so much...

[Romeo Delight]

I am calling it right now...Stay Frosty will be played as one of the encores

[mikebuczek]

id like to see On Fire

last chance...

[SNIPER]

Look at all the people here tonight!! Just me....

[Seshmeister]

I think it's a fair assumption that the band would want to try out any new songs from the set list at one of the three warm up gigs so that means that there will be 5 new songs.

She’s The Woman
Tattoo
China Town
Blood & Fire
The Trouble with Never

In fact if you assume they would want to play every song on the setlist at some point previously before the tour and that this show will be as long as the last then that gives you a set of

You Really Got Me
Runnin’ With The Devil
She’s The Woman
Somebody Get Me A Doctor
Tattoo
Everybody Wants Some!!
The Trouble with Never
Beautiful Girls
Ice Cream Man
China Town
Dance The Night Away
Hot For Teacher
Blood & Fire
Eddie’s Guitar Solo
Panama
Jump

plus around 7 or 8 from the following list

I’m The One
Romeo Delight
Atomic Punk
So This is Love?
Mean Street
Pretty Woman
Alex Van Halen drum solo
I’ll Wait
And the Cradle Will Rock
Little Dreamer
Little Guitars
Jamie’s Cryin’

So my guess is (in no particular order)

You Really Got Me
Runnin’ With The Devil
She’s The Woman
Somebody Get Me A Doctor
Tattoo
Alex Van Halen drum solo
Everybody Wants Some!!
The Trouble with Never
Beautiful Girls
Ice Cream Man
China Town
Dance The Night Away
Hot For Teacher
Blood & Fire
Romeo Delight
Atomic Punk
So This is Love?
Mean Street
Pretty Woman
Alex Van Halen drum solo
And the Cradle Will Rock
Little Dreamer
Eddie’s Guitar Solo
Panama
Jump


Just to be clear this isn't the setlist I want and I have no inside information.

It's just my best guess but I would be surprised if I am more than a few songs out.

I was pretty good at the start and end, usually ok for the first 13 and last 3 but I'm happy I got some of these wrong and never expected a changing set list with some deep cuts.

Pretty sure we have Wolfgang to thank for that.
