Just growing up there I was on television 7 times on major talk shows. And I only dance when the spirit moves me. Two Clues: She starts immediately when Dave does...and she knows EXACTLY how to get off stage...where the steps are ect....they could have couched her to go..."Wow!...Which way should I get down? Can I steal a kiss from Dave?" Lol see through these days...Dave is not perfect...but much better than funkin stinkin lip synching....hope Dave never does that live...wait...well anyway...they hit this one into far left field. Will have to wait for the dailies.
Honestly. I think they had a band meeting and told Dave to cool it. No more Jazz hands....ect...and since they said they made a commitment to each other in 2007 to be a fucking BAND again...I think Dave took their advice to just be Dave...and stop trying to top fat tubby lard.
So Dave has male pattern baldness. That is all Tubby Lard harps on. So let's see...if Tubby Lard had lost his hair and had a big belly...like he does...it shows us too things: Dave has no tubby lard big belly. And like many Men and Grandpas and Fathers that we love....Nature takes it's share. Tubby Lard with no Hair shows us what Dave puts in a lyric: Zero Discipline.
Let the Tubby Lards shut their mouth. Let the Rockers Rock.
Btw as I have not clued it yet...is that necklace Dave is wearing a Sharktooth Yin and Yang thing...(sorry I live in Hawaii and just got my niece a new board) or something else...I am sure someone will clue me? Japanese I expect.
And Dave hitting himself in the face as they spliced the two performances together...and tells Eddie (in my opinion) "We will get through this"...shows me why being hurt/sick Ala Michael Jordan in this 86 or(89) game makes the adrenaline pump you into better performance...so I give the "Glitter Stick" 5th credits in calming Dave down. Lol Maybe Eddie should kick Dave in the cup each night before the go on stage just to make sure Dave gives his best...

Can't Control your Friends. The women start to hike their skirts up. I didn't have a clue. That is when I kinda learned how to smile a lot. One Two Three Fouir fun ter thehr fuur.Comment

I'm happy the dance floor is gone and that Dave isn't dressed like Liberace and after fast forwarding through 50 mins of BS to get to the main event I thought Dave pulled it off quite well. The rest of the band brought it and who was the fat bastard playing the bass geetar?Comment

Van Halen sounded absolutley killer. I thought they sounded good last tour, Dave's vocal problems and all, but this little performance put that to fuckin' shame man! Dave is in absolutely amazing shape and when he did that high kick in the beginning of Panama, I was like "NO FUCKIN WAY HE'S 59 AND STILL DOING KICKS!" Eddie, looks like he's lost some weight, seeing as he put on a few extra pounds on the ADKOT tour. Wolfie looked like he was having a ton of fun and Alex? Still the same old kick-ass drummer we all know and love.
But then I looked at the comments section and I was reminded that it's not worth trying to argue with these "fans" anymore because they will never be satisfied.How do you spell pretentious? S-A-M-M-Y H-A-G-A-RComment

In my opinion I thought they sounded and looked great not to mention happy. And of course all the keyboard cowboys/girls come out to shit on them. I saw Motley Crue on there last year when they announced the final run and Vince could barely sing let alone move. And for cracking his nose up Dave recovered and delivered. I'd rather any day to see Dave fronting these guys and giving what he does than listening to Right Now and Dreams with Sammy doing jumping jacks, wearing his pajamas and his advertisement t-shirts.Comment

So far I haven't had the chance to really sit down and watch these performances. I've seen some snippets of the YouTube stuff up above, but not all of it because I'm at work and can't really sit and watch TV for awhile.
But from what I have seen it doesn't appear to be earth-shatteringly good or bad. It feels pretty much like what I've come to expect from Van Halen....which is solid to occasionally brilliant musicianship from the three twins, and an uneven vocal performance from Dave. Sometimes he sounds good, other times not so much. It was interesting to hear him try to bring back some of the "original" scream sound instead of the constant yelping.
One thing is for certain.....any vocal anomalies can't be blamed on the "blowers" this time out, unless Dave wants to scream at Mother Nature.
I'm looking forward to sitting down and really watching and listening closely. I still love this band, they're still at the top of my list....and I still worship Eddie. Alex is, as always, a thundering rock back there. Wolfie plays well...but it's unfortunate about his weight. It looks like he got all of Val's genetics in that department. The dude's in his 20's.....we're way past the point of waiting for him to lose the "baby fat."
I guess I'm just not enthralled with this particular effort with the live album and "supporting tour."Originally posted by perilouspete

During the show open they used a 2007 promo picture of the band, where Ed was still coming out of his meth darkness. Can't believe they couldn't have found a better pic than that.Originally posted by perilouspete
