But no "Business in the front, Party in the back" look for me.
Though I wouldn't mind having some of the old modified Firebirds those types usually ride around in though. |

Buddy of mine was working backline for the venue, called me an hour and a half before the start of the show saying they comped him three extra passes for me. I got there around the 5th song out of 23.
Eddie was drunk as a skunk and played sloppily. Still, he's Eddie V, and plays better drunk than 99% of the world's sober guitarists. My buddy was backstage when Eddie arrived pre-show, and said he was literally stumbling out of the Escalade he arrived in, sucking on a whole bottle of wine.
Eddie's solo was long and disjointed, but the playing during the songs was fine.
The band sounded good, typical Sammy-era VH. Looked good for their age, cool stage, cool tunes executed well, for an arena jump-around show. Sammy seemed more interested in signing every damn thing people would throw up to him, sometimes he stopped singing so he could write his name. All keyboards were sequenced, including Jump and Right Here Right Now. Eddie never touched a keyboard.
It was pure rock and roll. High energy, a bit sloppy, and loud as hell. I just wish Alex's kick drum didn't have to sound like slappy buttfudge. It sounds like he's kicking a large roto-tom. Ugh! |

As soon as he got home he bought as all tickets (5th row, hell yeah!  ) to the Biloxi show. Should be for a fun Labor Day weekend.

I saw them a couple months ago, they were great. Sammy is a fantastic showman, he really does everything he can to make the crowd happy. |

Great show and Sammy gave all out to the crowd.
Eddy was great; his voice is gone: sad but at least he's alive.
His solo was fun: pieces of Eruption, Cathedral, and old Cream. You could see and hear the genius is still there.
Michael Anthony: could barely hear the bass; it was mixed too low. He was a great showman too. His solo was either the most comedic ever in the history of rock or the worst every. I can't tell.
Alex was very cool with his own style.
All of them played their hearts out and it was lot of fun.
Worth seeing if you like Van Halen and want to see what I consider one of the two greatest guitarists most responsible for affecting the electric guitar: Hendrix and Eddie.
