Ed's Live Without a Net solo next...
This is a HUGE yawn fest...
Sure, he plays it nicely...
Big deal...
EVH was adventurous and EXPLOSIVE on the guitar at one time...
This solo is a waste of time...
So is, DTNA YRGM and Pretty Woman...
He doesn't even do anything but a little hammer on at the very end ?!?
Hmmm...Comment

Jump is no fucking way to leave fans wanting more at the end of a Van Halen concert...
Remember that old feeling ??
Well, this aint it...
Thanks Van Halen, how much did that set me back ??

If a band plays a festival they have very tight restrictions re: time. Curfews are strict. Add that into the fact that in most cases significant proportions of the audience won't be hardcore fans and you have to play the 'hits'.
Moreover, if you don't like Dave's higher register right now, why on earth would you to hear him attempt Atomic Punk?The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

How do you spell pretentious? S-A-M-M-Y H-A-G-A-RComment

A band that has 2 diamond records were not a 'hits' band? Van Halen didn't have MTV hits? Come on, dude.
As for 'corporate thinking', it's a sad fact of life that bands become businesses and as far as live music is concerned, big festivals are where the $$$ are right now (outside of the US where I sense festivals aren't quite as big). Hearing the same setlists maybe tiring for us, but the average person in that crowd is probably not stood there thinking 'I really wish they'd bust out Sunday Afternoon In the Park'. If you play a festival, you play the songs you're best known for, for better or for worse.The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

Complete bullshit ! They always played their biggest songs and promoted their new album buy playing stuff off it. ALWAYS ! Dave was off on a few things like last year and again that sucks but Hot For Teacher was ripping and so was Panama. They got a little out of sink on Doctor & the Roy song. Big deal ! At least it's live ! I enjoyed it. Would have loved to have been there. Come back soon ! Even with the hit's set ! Lol. GOD HOW I HATE HITS ! Just think if they didn't have any. They could be.... well opening for Sam Hagar !Comment

I am pissed they dropped Mean Streets last year though ! Elvis can I borrow a tissue ?Comment

They did everything they could to get "hits," dumbass!
You realize they were pressured by WB to record Diver Down after song they released to be a bumper between the end of the Fair Warning Tour and their next project, "(Oh) Pretty Woman", unexpectedly charted thereby ruining the boys' vacation plans (and possibly their ability to stand each other). You have this wanker belief in some form of sanctity/purity/legitimacy that the actual band NEVER gave a shit about...Comment
