    I've mostly seen Dave solo, but went to the somewhat-reunion tour when they came to Atlanta. I regret not seeing the complete VAN HALEN (with Mike on bass instead of Wolfie), but I guess I'll have to be happy with this version. Truth is, as long as Dave's on the mic, I don't care who's backing him, LMFAO!

          Saw them BOTH nights in Philly on the 1984 tour. That was where they shot the "Panama" video. I think that tour was when they peaked and those 2 nights were probably the best of the tour, a shame they didn't record the entire shows, those were the best shows they ever played, everything seemed to be in line, the perfect storm. Got a high five from Ed as he left the limo to go into the hotel, They weren't letting many into the hotel bar that night but it didn't matter, I will always be one of the fortunate people to proclaim, "I WAS THERE!!!".

            Van Halen is first band I was onboard with from their debut album. I'd have to dig out my ticket stubs to be sure but I mostly saw them in Madison, WI on tours for VH II, WACF, FW, Diver Down 2x and 1984 2x. Each tour was a bigger show but they always had crappy opening bands. Classic Van Halen were the best concerts I've ever seen. Dave always made you feel like you were at the biggest, best party of the year.
            Saw Van Hagar on 5150 tour and it was over for me. Never bought any post-Dave VH albums or saw another concert until the reunion w/ Dave.

              So you saw them in Madison when they trashed the Sheraton Hotel on the VH II tour....

                      No worries. VH's visit to Madison in 1978 is well documented in the book "Rock and Roll Fantasy" by Susan Masino.
