    You know how VH is with their OA. They like the odd ducks. They want that entire arena to be for them.

        I'd like them to strip it down. Quit relying on production so that they can play songs in whatever order or at whatever length. If the Axl Rose band doesn't have to play by any rules and can pull off any song any time and occasionally play 3 hour shows, why can't the Mighty VH. I guess I've gotten too used to bands that tour small clubs that make a new setlist every night, change it during the set depending on the vibe, and every night is a "box of chock-lates. You never know what you're gonna get." I think about Led Zeppelin in their earlier days. They had a pretty standard set list, but through improvization and a deep treasure trove of old elvis songs and blues numbers kept any two shows from being the same. For VH any shows just about as good as and very similar to the other. I know I'm dreaming..but if you don't have dreams they don't come true.

          I believe it was Tesla on EEAS and Poison on Skyscraper tour.

              Yeah, that sounds right. Was Cinderella also on a leg of one of those?

                      I know Cinderella was opening on the ALAE tour....and for some reason I think they opened some of the EEAS tour as well.
