No. I wish! They were asked that in the press conference b4 the tour began and they said no to playing those tunes. Ed said they didn't learn them. Dave said they are sticking to the classic hits from the early records for the tour.

For some reason, they posted in reverse order; some are blurry, some are OK, some are good. Did my best with a smaller P&S digital camera.

What an awsome show. Ive seen VH ten times with sammy once with Gary and Dave three times solo. The energy last night was just incredible. Im so happy I finally got to see Ed and Dave on the same stage. I have no complaints at all what a great show. After last nights show i can finally forgive Ed for the 2004 tour. Hope he stays sober. VH FOREVER!

Rock like it's 1984


By Dan DeLuca

Inquirer Music Critic

David Lee Roth is like the guy in that Beyoncé song. No matter how many times his ex tells him what a scalawag he is, he can't help but think that when it comes down to it, he's irreplaceable.
So it was no wonder that Van Halen's original vocalist was smiling ear to ear for a full two hours at the sold-out Wachovia Center on Monday night. Because from the power-chord crunch of the opening cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," it was abundantly clear that he'd been right all along.

Never mind Sammy Hagar, and please don't bring up Gary Cherone. For all of Eddie Van Halen's how'd-he-do-that? guitar heroics, the band that takes its name from Eddie and his drummer brother Alex (and now, Eddie's 16-year-old, bass-playing son, Wolfgang) lost every shred of its showbiz pizzazz when Roth walked out the door in 1985.

But after 22 years in exile, and a sketchy-at-best solo career of his own, Diamond Dave is back in the saddle - even if it was actually a giant inflatable microphone that he was riding like a horse during the encore of "Jump."

Is it as if he never left? Not quite. "We're three-quarters old school and one-quarter new school," Roth said at the start of the show, which he and the Van Halens will put on again tonight at the Wachovia. (Some tickets remain.) "Kind of like watching Dragnet on your iPod."

The "new school" referred to the kid in the Valerie Bertinelli haircut, nicknamed Wolfie, who held his own in the spot formerly occupied by booted-out bassist Michael Anthony. Wolfie earned a paternal tousle of his hair by his proud father after "Jamie's Cryin,' " and he bore more baby fat than his 52-year-old dad and the 53-year-old Roth combined.

The old school element was obvious in both the musical approach and physical appearance of the band's twin stars. The grizzled Van Halen - who managed to delay this, the least pretentious of the year's Big '80s reunions (beating out the Police and Genesis, by a long shot) with a stint in rehab earlier this year - was shirtless throughout.

Eddie looked like the character actor Fred Ward as he moved about as nimbly on stage as he does on the fretboard. And as a guitarist who matches thunderous riffage with delicate subtlety, his virtuosity remains jaw-dropping, even if his 10-minute-plus solo toward the end could have benefited from trimming.

As for Roth, he's not quite the physical presence he was on stage, what with his blond mane now shorn and either his too-tight leather trousers or, perhaps, a bad back keeping him from working the stage with leonine vigor - or even seeming able to bend his knees. He can still kick up a leg like a Rockette, but let's just say that during "Jump," he didn't even try to get up off the ground.

But while Roth has never been all that graceful a singer, he's a born entertainer, a guy who in another era would have been a Borscht Belt comedian or an ingratiating variety-show host.

Sure, it was a bit creepy and a little unseemly when he shook up a water bottle and let it squirt between his legs. But as a lewd-and-louche rock-and-roll lounge lizard, Roth really has no competition. And on a cavalcade of tremendously catchy hits ("Dance the Night Away," "Panama") and even lesser-known album cuts ("Atomic Punk," "Unchained") his voice was in sturdy-enough shape.

He also knows his audience. "I'm from the suburbs," he said before the California country-blues "Ice Cream Man." "You know, where they cut down all the trees and then name the streets after them."

Van Halen's 1978-to-1984 heyday corresponded with the explosion of punk and New Wave, genres that got much more critical respect than Van Halen's carefree and licentious hard rock.

But looking back, did anyone come closer to capturing the American teenage experience in their era than Van Halen? "Everybody wants some!" Roth sang with relish, then and now, in pursuit of pleasure. "I want some, too!"

And on Monday at the Wachovia, longtime VH fans remembering the good times got the dose of Diamond Dave they'd been wanting all these years.

I think those published reviews (phillyburbs and philly.com) nailed it. It warms me that they echoed mine.

Superfreak3

As is the case with many others, I have been waiting for this for almost a quarter century. I have never seen VH live as I was in my pre-teen years during the run of the original incarnation. Once they parted ways with DLR, I was bummed to say the least and Sammy never really appealed to me. So, for me, the only VH is VH with DLR and the only thing left at that point was hope.

Here's a personal note: when I got married, I made it clear to my wife that there are two things she will have no control over... college football Saturdays and the amount of money I will shell out if VH ever reunited for a tour. If she disagreed with the later, it would have been a deal breaker!

When I heard they were actually going to tour together again, I thought it would never really get off the ground. And if it actually did, there was no way they would prove to be any good at this stage of the game.

Well, I've seen them live. They did more than get off the ground and sound GREAT! I'm not going to get into the details of the show as I only have one thing to say... even if you have to beg, borrow, or steal to get a ticket - DO IT! You will NOT be disappointed. From beginning to end - TOP NOTCH ROCK & ROLL FREE-FOR-ALL! This show met all of my expectations and then some!!

I'm acutally depressed and suffering withdrawl already as I'm really bummed its over.

The only thing I would change would be to lose I'll Wait (and possibly Jump) as it didn't really fit for me, but it really didn't blemish the overall experience for me in any way.

If you're on the fence about getting off your lazy ass to see them, one word..........GO! Money should be no object because it will be worth every penny.

Great show. we were in section 224 so I had a problem hearing the vocals..until I went into the Tunnel. It was like everything cleared up and I could hear perfectly. I was blown away. It was great to hear some of the deeper cuts (Little Dreamer, Romeo Delight, etc). This was my first VH concert that featured Dave (my first VH concert was Monsters of Rock at JFK, and I have been to every other tour except III) and it was well worth the wait. I had seen Dave solo a few times (Sam and Dave, Pierre Roberts 20th aniversary, and the Keswick) and there was no comparison. This was by far the best VH concert I have been to. I would go again tonight if I wasn't working

Unlike most others, I liked "I'll Wait". I was hoping they would play "Me Wise Magic" but I guess that won't happen this tour. Other than that, this was a must-see show. I just can't believe it finally happened.
