Would U Chose D/E/A/W or S/E/A/M in 2007?

**noise next door** · 12.18.06, 01:55 PM

If the choice was available...
(for a 20,000 seat arena show in summer 2007 with 3 new songs)
would you chose...

Dave/Eddie/Alex/Wolf
OR
Sam/Ed/Alex/Mike

And WHY?
(You can only chose ONE OPTION)

**perticelli** · 12.18.06, 01:57 PM

E/A/W/D

the other choice is wayyyyy too tired for me..given the choice

**Brett** · 12.18.06, 01:58 PM

Ask the question after this tour is over.

**ZachenFoot** · 12.18.06, 01:59 PM

Its as simple as this: I paid to see the 2004 lineup, and I refuse to pay for the 2007 lineup.

That should answer the question at hand.

**Brett** · 12.18.06, 02:01 PM

OK I'll answer.

1. Never
2. Yes provided I wasn't burned out on it and it was better than 2004.

If you wanted to add a third option, D/E/A/M then I'd be in.

Exactly how I feel...

**servoguy101** · 12.18.06, 02:05 PM

D, but early in the tour, like the first night cause there maybe not be a second...

Dave/Eddie/Alex/Wolf

While this may be a trainwreck, at least it doesn't have Eagles Fly in it. HAHAHA But if the"B" option played deep cuts I would choose that, but the setlist in that incarnation is old.

**Brett** · 12.18.06, 02:06 PM

Agreed AP, if they changed the standard set list they've been playing forever, I certainly would be less burned out on it.

**AJHV** · 12.18.06, 02:11 PM

Sam/Ed/Alex/Mike

VH without Mike’s Voice is just not the same sorry. Hell no!

Dave with VH now, I m sorry it’s just too late now.

good point, where's was...

Amsterdam, Feelin, Aftershock, Good Enough, 5150, Naturally Wired, Sucker in a 3 Piece, Summer Nights, Mine all Mine, Black n Blue... (not to mention any DLR stuff other than the 4 standards we heard since 1986)

in 2004?

**mike zack** · 12.18.06, 02:16 PM

My vote would be Ed/Al/Wolf release an instrumental and tour. No singer!

I think u might get your wish. Remember Edd did say that was in the Plans, No Dave tour. Plus we all know how Alex VH feels for David lee.

**steve mcqueen** · 12.18.06, 02:30 PM

I have waited over 20 years to see Eddie and Dave back on stage together (again).....in my mind it is on the same par as Page/Plant....Townsend/Daltry.....Richards/Jagger.

Yes, it is too bad that MA most likely wont be there as well.....but if Eddie's boy somehow injects some life into his old man.....then it is worth seeing.

It doesn't matter if it is not a "classic reunion".....it is two of the most dynamic and talented duo in rock history.....possibly for one last go-around....

any of us......older jaded fans......younger fans who have never seen Dave/Eddie.......who refuse to go because the bands politics.....or because who is playing bass/backing vocals.......will look back and regret it......especially if it was their last chance.

sorry......my answer is d/e/a/w.
