Light up the sky 2015!

[Achilleslastand]

Man I kinda wish they were coming closer than a 3 hour drive now after seeing this. O well hopefully they add some dates to this.

Well, it seams as though Dave has listened to the criticism of him and toned down the vocal stretches.
This song even on the studio version is sort of talk - sung, so it's good to see that Dave stuck with that here.
Mostly stuck with the melody too.
My wife is now back to the "want to see them" mindset, so I'll be on the lookout for seats.
Now if only Dave would reduce the caberet act and inject some rock and roll in there...
Hey, a guy can hope.

There are a few moments in "Dirty Movies" where he just reminds me of the old Dave.
I really loved that & DDL.

By all means, DO NOT let your wife view/listen to last night's version of DTNA.
I don't know why Roth just can't get a handle on that one.

Three of my favourite cuts, Light Up The Sky (as an opener!), DDL, and Dirty Movies, all in one set. Never thought I'd see the day! Good on Wolf for getting those out of his father. Dave sounds pretty good on 'em, too (better than at the 2012 show I saw) and seems quite game for the challenge. I won't be able to see them on this tour, but it's great to see them come out swinging with a setlist like that.

Thanks for posting those clips, UG. Great stuff. Glad I dropped by to check out how the opening show went. (Hi, everyone!)

It was an incredible show, and sounded great, so I'm not sure where Punk has seen outdoor shows. The Gorge, and now the White River, are on my list of outdoor venues with terrific sound. Going to bed, but I'll try and add more the next few days. I'm heading down to Ridgefield for show #2 tomorrow. The girlfriend and I will be about 10 rows from the stage on Ed's side!!

Not that too many will care, maybe Nick will, but Al's solo was much longer and way more impressive than the last tour. He's still the man.

[PrideofPasadena]

I'm shocked at all the deep cuts. Never thought that would happen.

I haven't heard Rhyme yet, but Dave definitely is trying now, like '07. Staying in range more. DTNA was a disaster, but it tends to be sometimes. LUTS. Movies, DDL's....he sounded okay. He didn't ruin them by any stretch.

The band....what can you say....they sound amazing!!

I hate the lawn, but I wanna a seat now. I knew I would once I saw some clips.

Holy shit, GF, how you been, man?!

Are you living in the U.S., Russia?
I remember you had had some medical issues years ago (last i'd heard of you), and i always
wondered if you came out of that intact.

Glad to see your still kickin' around!

I'm doing well, UG, thanks! Came out of the medical affair intact, and have a good scar to show off to ladies at heavy metal shows since then.

I'm in Ukraine these days, where the action is. Keeps things interesting. Can't imagine Van Halen will be coming through here any time soon, so I'll be living vicariously through bootlegs and youtube clips for this tour! I did get to see Steve Vai do a 3 hour show in Moscow last year though, so that was pretty cool.

[vhfanjack]

Wow, this makes up for Ed's recent PR disaster. Still wish they'd have a different start to the show than just walking out and playing... They're supposed to be the mighty Van Halen.

And welcome back, Freak. Happy to hear you recovered from your operation. What on Earth are you doing all the way in Ukraine?

I'll need to look up those other videos.

You know, DtNA was the song on my wive's answering machine message when we first met.
