This band need to step it up...
A fucking lot...Comment

The stage show is really scaled down compared to 2007/2008. But musically they are on fucking FIRE. Dave is putting a lot of effort in singing, Wolfie Alex and Eddie are just fucking kicking ass.How do you spell pretentious? S-A-M-M-Y H-A-G-A-RComment

"The band" is lacking energy. They rely on the frontman to bring that contagious energy. He's not doing it. Dave's performances are seeming very passionless. It's very obvious Dave is just going through the motions at this point. What a shame. Complacency is getting the best of Dave. Or maybe it's boredom.Comment

I have never seen Dave look so lethargic on stage. I almost fell asleep watching the Japan show. Dave needs some booze or blow before the show! I only counted one kick from the entire concert. He's definitively just going through the motions, or he's just out of gas. It could be both! Regardless, this isn't why I am a Van Halen fan. I couldn't give a fuck about the live shows today. I've heard all these songs done a million times better back in the 80's. My only interest with Van Halen at this point is a reunion with Michael Anthony or hearing Drop Dead Legs or a song that hasn't been performed since the original lineup.Comment

Don't really expect the band to be totally fired up for 2+ hours when the crowd stands there like fucking statues the whole time. They are supposed to be the 5th band member and the band feeds off & reflects back the energy they get.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Not really....it's pretty much the same except there's no ramps. And they never used the ramps when they had them...
In fact the only thing that differentiated '07/'08 from now is that there were graphics on the front of Al's kick drums that said "07" or "08" on the front of them.
I think the lighting in the Japan shows is much more intense than we saw stateside...Originally posted by perilouspete

Maybe the crowd didn't realize it was Van Halen on stage? They sure as hell didn't sound like Van Halen that night. They need to change up the set list. Hot For Teacher, panama, jump... yawn... if I was there I would be in the beer line the whole show. Give us Secrets, Dirty Movies... push come to shove... something in the lower range that Dave can still sing. We all know the voice is shot... but damn when you take away the performance and the kicks Dave doesn't have very much left to offer. If they can't bring Michael back, they should just retire or be a studio band. I'll buy the albums! There just doesn't seem to be any energy at all. If you look at the DLR Band from 2002 when Dave was doing 5 kicks a song you wouldn't even recognize this is the same front man. Hell, when I watch my old bootlegs from the 80's I seriously question if this is really the same person in 2013.
Here's an example... Is this the same person? This performer was a million times better just ten years ago!

Uh, from '83 to '13 is like, 30 years and stuff. The kicks and jumps are quite expectedly on their way out.
I'd go for the studio band option. Live is only temporary. Recordings are forever.Last edited by DLR Bridge; 06-20-2013, 12:14 PM.Comment
