Here´s my thoughts mainly focusing on Roth´s performance [scale from 1 to 5 ]
Note I´m drunk
1. "Unchained" Fair Warning
decent opening a little shaky, at least he does not screw the pre chorus like on Kimmel 2,5
2. "Runnin' With the Devil" Van Halen
Dave here does refrain from changing melody, sing / talks a bit a few high yelps that misses 3
3. "She's the Woman" A Different Kind of Truth
A lot of the words gets lost, bad timing, but hey it´s live he could be dancing for alla i know. a few terrible yelps a bad performance 1,5
4. "I'm the One" Van Halen
This is probably as good as Dave can be on this one, he tries to keep it true to the original. 3
5. "Tattoo" A Different Kind of Truth
My least fav on the album song wise but dave keeps it close to the original no more yelps that on the album, but he sods a bit strains here and there (2:02 / 3.40) 3
6. "Everybody Wants Some!!" Women and Children First
Here Dave is inventing some new melodies, i´m not a big fan 2
7. "Somebody Get Me a Doctor" Van Halen II
Ok at best 2,5
8. "China Town" A Different Kind of Truth
Not a good live song all together, but Dave struggles on 2
9. "Hear About It Later" Fair Warning
a great song originally, stick with the melodi Dave…. 2
10. "(Oh) Pretty Woman”
Not my favorite, but Dave does a good job 4
11. "Drum Solo”
12. "You Really Got Me”
Dave knows this in and out and does not change a lot from older days, the intermission sounds a bit silly on album though 3,5
13. "Dance the Night Away”
One of the songs that got my hooked to Van Halen to begin with, Dave butchers this one as usually 1
14. "I'll Wait”
This was a surprise to me in 2007 in MSG I loved it, and Dave does a good job here 4 (if not for the chorus exits a 5)
15. "And the Cradle Will Rock…"
He nails the higher register he attempts, well maybe mot nails but good enough, but why does Dave don’t sing on the chorus, and whats with the theatrical voice here and there???? 3,5
16. "Hot for Teacher”
This way he sings does not ring good in my ears, he´s all over the place 2
17. "Women in Love…”
Same here as with AtCWR Dave does not sin on the chorus but I like what he does on the verses 4
18. "Romeo Delight”
Dave getting in shape this song suits him, a few yelps but they sound OK (maybe not round 1:50) I like it 4
19 "Mean Street”
Quiet Ok some yelps are actually spot on DLR-band style
20 "Beautiful Girls”
A pattern Dave not sining on the chorus and I like how the songs sounds, but not good version from Dave 2
21 "Ice Cream Man”
How could he fuck this up
he must have played this 1 000 000 000 000 times but ok it´s a party tune 2,5
22. "Panama”
The new melody does not make this song justice, a poor performance 2
23. "Eruption”
24. "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love”
Not the best version I´ve heard to much venture in the high register a 2
25. "Jump”
Really bad performance really cheesy song 2
I must say it´s better than the youtube preveiws, but Dave tries to hard he´s overdoing it, like he´s trying to show us listen here how high I can sing.
total a 59 out of 115
