you know what's crazy.

I have NO idea who's even in Dave's band for this tour....I saw it pop up in the side suggestions and I'd always remember my friends reaction to seeing this tour...he said Dave pretty much sucked..and his hair was a mess and he couldn't stop fiddling with his "weave"

hahahaha

my theory is....if I go in with very low expectations....I might be pleasantly surprised.

Gary Cherone told me that

I was hoping you'd like that



I felt like I stuck a minor vein of comedy gold when I typed it!

Five songs into the set and it's been all Van Halen songs. I'm beginning to think Dave has no confidence in his solo stuff.

he's singing pretty good though right...and the band is solid

it's not Eddie of course...but the guy can play.

What's really funny though about watching this 2002 show is that it makes me want to bust out some early VH albums whereas the new shows this year do not. Go figure.

Fantastic show. Best Van Halen cover band I've ever heard. Ha. Seriously, this show was pretty damn good and way better than his Skyscraper Tour that I saw at the Sports Arena, which was just 'okay'. But that set had about 50/50 Van Halen / Solo stuff. So, not sure if I'm liking this 2002 show a lot more because there was only one song he played of his, that being Yankee Rose. The band and Dave sounded great here. I can't give it a full 5 stars for a couple of reasons: A) I can't stand live shows on DVD/VHS or whatever that insist on inserting video vignettes throughout the show. This is a concert, not a music video! B) Dave has to do away or at least cut down on his "story telling" part of the show. He has been doing this his entire career and it always brings the show to a screeching halt.

I'd be okay if he wasn't telling the same damn story over and over. I wonder if he is still doing it now, back when Van Halen were still a group and touring...........

4 1/2 Stars out of 5
