Round 11 coming up

I have seen Van Halen and or David Lee Roth at least 10 times and I have my tickets for the March 17 show in Toronto. My first show was in 1982 and it was awesome, raedy for some more. I will be going with some high school friends again. Everytime Van Halen comes to town we get the crew back together and unite for another awesome show. I will be taking my 12 year old son to the show for his first concert and am sure it will create a monster.

I saw them once with Hagar in 92 and the Boston reunion show in 07. No comparison. Boston with the set-list and the overall power was a dream come true. Love this band.

Make sure you check the Toronto concert thread to get details on where all the army folk are meeting up. Don't want to miss that, it's fun .

I saw DLR twice in paris ("skyscraper" and "a lil' ain't enough" tours), and I went to van hagar ("right here right now") also in paris (had to see Ed live once in my life)... seems like the new isn't going to France, open I'll have a chance of seeing them together before I (they ?) die

Since I'm at the tender age of 41 I wasn't quite old enough to see CVH back in the day. BUT I did see every single Dave tour from '86 on. And for everyone who says that you are only a "true" fan if you saw them back in the day...then wouldn't that mean that the only true fans were those who followed the band from their FIRST gigs???

Women and Children- front row barricade MA side!
Fair Warning - front row barricade center!
Diver Down

[vandeleur]

Never seen them , 44 years old so missed donnington and they had split by the time I was properly into them.... Van Hagar played my local stadium and I refused to go so I see that as mitigating circumstances your honour :-)
