"I'm going to do a 40-city tour," Hagar said. "I haven't done this in a long time. This year, we made a record ['Space Between'] and I was told, 'You've got to go out and support it.' I don't like to go away and tour, but I love to play shows. The way we [normally] do it with THE CIRCLE, we play a couple shows a month, but I'm going to do 40 cities — a real tour — next year. I'm doubling from what I did this year. I decided that I've got to do this while I still can. There's going to be a day I wake up and go, 'I can't do this no more,' not because I don't want to in my heart, but because my knees, my back, my voice, something's going to say, 'Nope.' It's inevitable for everyone, so I'm going to go ahead and dig in.”

Had to be pushing 40 dates this year. I'll go as long as the old man tours, although I'd like to see him pull out some deeper cuts.

I'm going to make it a point to go see them if they come to the Boston area. May be the last time seeing Sam and Mike

We had fun at their show in May. They were good. But I wish he had a better guitarist than Vic. Especially on the VH tunes...

Quote from the article ""We play the VAN HALEN stuff as well as VAN HALEN ever played it," Yeah mhm. I love Vic in the band but he's no Eddie Van Halen. There are just parts where he's just objectively playing it wrong, it's not even about the feel. But that's okay. He doesn't need to play it like Ed. That doesn't matter to me. I don't go see them to hear him pretend to be Ed, naw, I go to see the Circle and I have a great time.

I'm definitely going to see them this year. I hope they play Hampton Coliseum, it's a great venue and he met his wife there!

Giddy-up!!

Need to hear "No Worries" live! Didn't play it at the 2 I went to this year (too early in the tour).

good for Sammy. If he heads up here I'll check him out. We won't have many more opportunities to do it.

You seem like a young man in an old soul.

I can dig it.

I hope they play Toronto... I haven't seen Sammy or Mike since '04.
I'd like to see some of Sammy's solo tunes live, as well as their covers, and I did enjoy The Space Between cd.

Toronto is a rock and roll town, and we love our Van Halen! Even the past member(s) revolving door alumni. I'll buy you and your wife a beer if you're interested, It's Mike...

My wife has never been to a vh show, she couldn't be less interested in the genre

Perfect; I'll buy you two beers! Haha.
I know what you mean... My ex went to the show in 2015, yet only knew a few songs. She went because she knew what it meant to me, yet she was probably wishing we were at an Adele or Pink concert.
