For the first time in over 23 years, David Lee Roth took the stage in front of 20,000 fans as part of the band he helped make famous. Van Halen played the first show of their 2007 tour in Charlotte, North Carolina tonight.
By all early accounts, the show was a rousing success. The band took the stage just after 8:30 at Charlotte Bobcats Arena.
Wolfgang Van Halen, playing really for the first time as the bassist for the band in front of a sold-out arena, played well, and didn't seem to be too bothered by the enormous crowd, or the pressure. All eyes will certainly be on the 16-year old as he attempts to fill the large shoes of Michael Anthony who was Van Halen's rock on the bass and backing vocals for more than 30 years.
Early accounts of Dave and Eddie's performance have also been good, as Van Halen churned out 26 of their classic hits. The set list was as follows:
01. You Really Got Me
02. I'm The One
03. Runnin' With The Devil
04. Romeo Delight
05. Somebody Get Me A Doctor
06. Beautiful Girls
07. Dance The Night Away
08. Atomic Punk
09. Everybody Wants Some!!
10. So This Is Love?
11. Mean Street
12. (Oh) Pretty Woman
13. Drum Solo
14. Unchained
15. I'll Wait
16. ...And the Cradle Will Rock
17. Hot for Teacher
18. Little Dreamer
19. Little Guitars
20. Jamie's Cryin'
21. Ice Cream Man
22. Panama
23. Guitar Solo (incl. "Women In Love" intro, "Cathedral", "Eruption")
24. Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
ENCORE:
25. 1984
26. Jump
Some pictures from the show have surfaced at Yahoo! News and can be seen by going to HERE.
Van Halen's next show will be Saturday night, September 29, at the Greensboro Coliseum, in Greensboro, NC.
