Well, you did say that you think he nailed it better than any other performance you've heard, but I was assuming you meant of all of the HAILs from this past tour. If that's the case, you may be right. His take on it the year it came out was great. I have the music stripped from the video and plugged into my I Tunes. I love that version start to finish, almost better than the album.

I dunno...maybe me liking it can be attributed to just having another great day blazing on the highway and was enjoying the new live Halen. I suppose I should trash it after listening to 3 songs, post nothing but negativity over the demise of Van Halen and how Mikey could save it all.sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment

Ya know, Thursday is my day off. I usually go to Winn/Dickme and Publix, stock up on foodstuffs. Yet tomorrow, I'll also drive a little bit further to Barnes & Noble (Best Buy is like ten miles away, and Target never has anything) and buy the God-damned thing. Like Von, I may only listen to it once, yet what the fuck.
The dingbats still could have given us a T-shirt, bumper sticker or a poster, instead of...Oh, gee wiz...the first and last albums as a bonus, fer twenty bucks extra.

Why would Mike make any difference in the way Dave is butchering some of these songs? I have zero issues with the bass playing, or harmonies on this album.Comment

Alright boys. Settle down. Save some anger for the clips of Jump being played live on Ellen tomorrow.

Best Buy and Barnes & Noble in the city don't have it. New York fucking City. Way to push the product fellas. It's bad enough those are my only choices left for music shopping besides on-line. Technology can go fuck it's self. I'm goin' to bed. Angry.Comment

I simply can not fathom this. Fortunately, it's my day off, so whenever the show appears I will be so legless that whatever happens will have nothing other than a dulling effect on me. Of course, I 'll need to sober up for the golf match and throw dinner together by then...

I'm temporarily working on one of those Hawaiian islands. Drove into armpit city to look for the CD. Hey Target had it for $16 bucks. Sure what the fuck. I am impressed I found it here. Compare to Led Zep's Physical Graphitti which took forever to land here.
Now about the record:
The band is tight. Dave is embarrassingly out of key at times. But that was expected. This record should have highlighted ADKOT. Dave would have nailed more songs because that material captured Dave and his style in the present moment. However it seems his vocals are tucked away in the mix when he could not remember the words in the new songs.
But there are some good performances here. After listening to most of disc 1: Everybody Wants Some!! You Really Got Me. I'm the One.
It's entertainment!Last edited by Mushroom; 04-02-2015, 04:51 AM.Comment

Interesting little tidbit in the liner notes: "All songs Van Halen/Roth except noted below (meaning Oh Pretty Woman and You Really Got Me)". So much for any forthcoming revenue to Mike Anthony....
