Van Halen Tour 2007 - Anyone going?

[Ponch ®]

I'm going to see em TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!

I was supposed to see them on Nov 20, but my hook-up connection got an even better hook-up for the 12/14 "homecoming" show at the Staples Center.

sweet!!! I'll try to get pics of tomorrow nights show

Yep I went to the show in Detroit at Joe Lewis arena. . . it was pretty good but I thought Eddie was alittle sloppy.

In Kansas City, Eddie was on fire!

wolfie sucked

[RT DAVE]

I'm saving my money to see Led Zep and the Cult... 

[bull]

How much did you guys pay for tickets? They were in Portland last weekend but I had no interest. Sammy and Michael were smart to get the he11 out and stay out IMO. The whole thing is a train wreck waiting to happen.

Anyone want to bet on whether Wolfgang will be addicted to some illegal substance by the time the tour is through? Maybe he and Eddie can do a father/son project together next summer. Not Hlpag, I'm thinking rehab.

[RT DAVE]

I'm a fairly big fan, having owned all the DLR & Sammy stuff, but I wouldn't cross the street to see them after what they did to Michael Anthony...

I'm guessing she's already pissed about the whole thing. Nobody wants their kid hanging out with a substance-abusing ex, let alone sending them on the road together surrounded by drugs, diseased groopies and booze. Is the kid even old enough to drink yet? Looks like he's getting plenty to eat, way more than the other three anyway.

The man is clean and sober, one of the best shows I've seen. The father son and uncle even with Dave rocked out the new Sprint Center.

You can't play like that and be stoned, the audience was more drunk and druged up, it called Rock N Roll.

Mary Jane was being passed around, not that I took any.

he's only 15 years old

[bull]

That's too young to be in that kind of environment IMO but hopefully dad is taking a little responsibility in making sure junior is somewhat insulated from the shenanigans. Maybe he's just happy to be playing Gameboy on the tour bus during the off hours and doesn't care about women and booze. I know a lot of guys whose lives have been screwed up by both, like Wolfie's dad for instance.

I wish I was going.   Saw them back in 84 with roth, I was only in the eight grade, awesome,   
    I saw sammy haggar twice when he was solo, he rocked, but I didn't care a whole lot for van hagar, it was ok, but it definately was a lot different than van halen,  wonder if david lee roth can sing the songs very well anymore,   tell us how the concert is

[69bronzeT5]

HOLY CRAP.....VAN HALEN ROCKED BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CONCERT WAS AMAZING! DAVE STILL SOUNDS AWESOME AND THE VAN HALEN'S WERE AWESOME TOO!!!! EDDIE AND ALEX BOTH DID AMAZING SOLOS! AND WOLFIE DID AN AWESOME JOB TOO! IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS REALLY HAVING FUN!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT VIDS AND LOTS OF PICS!!!!!

Thanks for the pics Cody. Good times man Good times.

[Brock Samson]

thanks for the pics... Dave's pedleboard set up looks like NASA put it togeather...

[69bronzeT5]

No prob guys.


One of the bigger newspaper in Vancouver (The Vancouver Sun) did a review on the concert. They called it a "poor attempt to re-live the 80s). Its stupid though, the newspaper sent a reviewer to the concert to review it. She's 19 and it says right in the review "Im not a fan of Van Halen". I bet you thats why she gave it a bad review because I can tell you, by the sound of the crowd, they were loving the show.

I wanted to go but didn't want to up the Cash. Did the Sprint center sell out? I know a week after the tickets went on sale you still could get some. I guess if they would have charged less they would have sold a lot more. I guess it's all about money for them cause they probably are running out of it. Since it may be there last they could have gave something back to the fans that got them where they are. Don't get me wrong.....I use to love the band. Garth Brooks tickets were like 30 bucks. He sold out 9 concerts in like three hours. Now that's fan dedication.
