Van Halen to perform at California Mid-State Fair - July 24th

[slage33]

I was at this show. I slipped security a C note and they let me into the reserved area. Worked my way to the front row. I loved when Dave welcomed everyone to the show on behalf of the corn dog and cotton candy stand.

Reminds me of Dave playing the Michigan State Fair in 2003!

Dave's bus broke down on the way to this gig, so they bring in 3 buses for Dave to choose from as a replacement. Dave walks on each bus to give it the sniff test (He hates the smell of cleaning chemicals, as well as other things) and ends up choosing one that Britney Spears had used. I got to go on it. It was a badass bus for sure.

That was hilarious! I think I have a DVD of this entire show.

Lots of video here at this link. (Also a great archive of past Dave/VH from the past year.)

Van Halen performed their last US show ‘for awhile’ Wednesday at the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles, California, according to frontman David Lee Roth.

“This is our last show for awhile here in the United States,” said Roth during “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love.” “I can’t think of a better place to do it. What a show tonight!”

Concert was fun, but a quickie...no banter from Dave but the ferris wheel did get a shout out, no monologue before ICM, drum solo only lasted long enough to think about getting a beer, and even Ed's solo was cut back by a light year. Dave sounded great, Wolfie rocked it, some kid brought a copy of Frankenstein and the lucky bastard got in signed backstage when Ed had a break...
What cracks me up are the "fans" that go. One chick got beer, not alot, just a little beer spilled on her hair and spent the ENTIRE show with her head in her lap and her fingers in her ears. Her boyfriend rocked his ass off but I sure would not want to be in that car on the way home. She told the dude that spilled it (Yea! A Dodger Fan!) that her hair cost more than his car. WTF?? Another thing...after the show, another chick saw my plates and kept raving what a Dave fan she was but COULD NOT BELIEVE THEY PLAYED A SAMMY SONG! I asked her what song she was talking about. ATBL I told her that was on VH debut album and very much a CVH song, but of course she knows way more than me. OK YOU KEEP THINKIN THAT. My first show was Oakland 81, ATBL closed the show.

If you look at every face in a crowd, some shine and some keep you guessin'.
