"I have a very belligerent enthusiasm or an enthusiastic belligerence. I’m an intellectual slut." - David Lee Roth
"We are part of the, not just the culture, but the geography. Van Halen music goes along with like fries with the burger." - David Lee Roth
Fuck yes. Finally. I fucking hate this city but I gotta support the talent they bring. A few hours of my time won't be wasted when the mighty VAAAAN HAAAALEEEEEN comes to Alberta!!!! Get 'er done.
Stay frosty now.
Nostalgia is a form of denial. I love denial. I like selective amnesia, too. Mix the two and you've got a hell of a weekend-DLR
OK - so Calgary is MDT - two hours later than EST - better than 3 hours! I'll try my best to at least make the first part of the show. Anyone going that can keep us updated? This thread is pretty empty!
Stay Frosty!
THE DAY IS DONZO LET'S HAVE SOME FUNZO!!
Damn, I wish I could be at this show. My first two concerts in 79 and 80 were in Calgary....Damn Good Times....
"Ya know what they say about angels... An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, usually humanoid in form, found in various religions and mythologies. Plus Roth fan boards..."- ZahZoo April 2013
Yipee! It's another gig night! I LOVE these nights! Is there anyone on the inside tonight that will keep us posted?
Told ya I was comin' back... Say you missed me... Say it like ya mean it!
Calgary is a cool city
Roth Army Canada
I don't foresee being here for this show either...
I'm going to be poking in for the odd chance that lunatic wiseguy posts anything..
I'm Central Time Zone. I'm an hour ahead. It'll be roughly 10:00 p.m. when the show starts here. I'm usually up at 5:00 a.m. If I START watching the Tweets and reading the updates here, it becomes all too tempting to keep watching until it's over. It's a risk getting to sleep at that point.
I'm gonna do my best, but the show starts around 11pm my time and I'm also up around 4:45am. I'll see if I can at least be here in the beginning, but I'm definitely not gonna make it past RWTD or STW. If they open with Sinner's Swing I'll call in sick tomorrow! These late shows on school nights kill me. I really miss hanging out here for the shows.
Well, I guess t minus??? until VH takes the stage?
Kool & The Gang just took the stage.... yes, I did say Kool & The Gang! #YYC #VanHalen— Dorinda A. (@DorindaHMA) May 10, 2012

I was just about to post that one...

Since I have been twitterposting for the last few gigs I'm gonna stay off of it, unless you decide to go to bed...
I'd ride my 8 year old's damn bike to get there!!! LOL!
@MarkZschech as @PhilipYSohn heads to dream concert #VanHalen I'm wondering if he ever thought he'd be going in a mini-van.... Haha— susanjsohn (@susanjsohn) May 10, 2012
It's not a "mini-van", it's a "Van Halen party Van"
44 minutes and counting....
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
Even in my 30s. The group of us decided to go to the MidNight Opening of "Half-Baked" and all had "get it" coats full of candy in the pockets. Smoked a Huge Fattie and rolled out of that mini-van as the blue smoke rolled out of it as well.
Tell ya, it is all good you Soccer Moms with Cherry Bombs.
Can't Control your Future. 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.
Momshell can u please attach a close up of your neck tat or change avatar so we can see the detail for one night, please :-)
Just always like to see if artist holds his lines, my guy couldn't on my lionVH or I'd have it on mine. I'd like to have it redone, was supposed to be good and I could do better with steady hand, F'r really let me down, 10 years ago it wasn't as easy to find good inkslingers!
Getting closer...

It's Diamond Dave night pre Van Halen tonight, a true rock God has to have good looks, be in love with himself and know Karate #diamonddave— Without Papers Pizza (@wopizza) May 10, 2012
Thank you! I don't even remember how long it took - I know it was hours. It was pretty bad - I had the appt weeks in advance and I had taken the day off from work and everything. Woke up that am with a fever - think I had the flu. I sure as hell wasn't gonna cancel that appt - so I went and didn't tell the guy anything. Not fun getting a tattoo when you feel like shit to begin with! It was ok though cause the guy had already done a different tattoo for me and had done one for my husband as well, so he knew me. He cranked VH the whole time he was doing it - that always helps!
I know somebody's got their fingers crossed for Light Up The Sky
Well worth it. You know that needle Hurt You!
