REPORT: =vh = to headline australian festival april 20-21

[vandeleur]

Pity they havent re booked those gigs they cancelled .
I think a good run at some dates and they will be rockin ......
And Dave looked back to being Dave over this whole OZ trip .
His voice is better than the last tour and he has some of his Mojo back. He was in his element holding court at the press conference , I may be biased I just like to see him rock out with the Mike stand . He looks cool and back to being a rock star . THE rock star.

Now we're getting to the point where I start making the negative comments...

[vandeleur]

E you started strong but are turning back to the dark side ... fight it .
It was a gig , DTNA didnt kill anyone , most of the people there would be so pissed they couldnt hear dave singing for the pissed person next to them.

Yeah the covers suck tho

[moose]

Jst to bust balls and be totally out of CUNText here.......Sheri Moon Zombie is wearing a CVH shirt in the Lords of Salem..
Interlude complete
Continue the bashing.....

[ELVIS]

I'll Wait...

There's a good way to get the crowd going after DTNA...

Dave don't even sing it good...

[ELVIS]

And the clip has outstanding audio...

And BTW, I'm listening with Carver and Cerwin Vega equipment in my home studio / man cave...

So don't tell me about sound...

[ELVIS]

Now that I took a long piss...

Hot For Teacher...

Not bad...

Dave seems stiff and uncomfortable...

A big contrast to the Dave at the beginning of the show...

Ed and Wolf rip the fuck out of that one, for a change...

For the first time of the night, really...

Not bad...

[ELVIS]

Dave's Dog intro...

I LOVE dogs and I have three, but this seems so out of place to me...

Next...

[ELVIS]

Yeah Dave, we want some Ice cream...

[ELVIS]

I know one thing...

You could take long pisses at that show...

[ELVIS]

Ice Cream Man is good except for the Cringe yelps...

[ELVIS]

Panama...

I know a lot of people love this song...

It's ok...

Why can't Dave just sing the song kinda right ??

At least one song...

He sang a bunch right in '07...

Good Dave banter though...

[jhale667]

The little band stumbles further only reinforce my theory that the monitor mix sucked ass...

[Halen High]

I see you edited your post to add the comment above.

That points exactly to what I was driving at when I made by "little bit of bias" comment.

You experienced the euphoria that I felt back in '07 when I first saw Dave back on stage with Eddie...waving that big red flag from the top ramp behind the drums.

At that point, they could have stopped the music and just stood there and stared at us for an hour and I would have been totally satisfied!!!!

Yes, there are clearly varying degrees of bias in all opinions. I like to think of myself as someone who can keep it to a minimum, remain objective, and with a healthly dose of cynicism thrown in - requirements of my job. For example, I've just seen my beloved Manchester United win the EPL (I've had a hell of a week). Now for me, MU are up there with CVH and I'm revelling in their triumph. Yet I have no hesitation in saying this is the most ordinary MU team I've seen in over 15 years.

As for the set-list, I'll Wait was an interesting choice but yeah the crowd loved it like every other offering. I would love to see them pull out As Is in Japan.

[ELVIS]

Yeah, it seems Ed couldn't hear much at all...
