08.02.24 - Clarkston, MI - Pine Knob Music Theatre

[Kasi VH]

As I posted in error in the other thread we were there; fam and I. We bought our tickets during the Sammy fans pre-sale right from TM; we were about 35 rows back between center and Joe's side; paid $165 a ticket with fees which I thought was quite reasonable.

All in all great show...I have seen Sammy 5 - 6 times the past few years and this was the best one. My brother and I were chatting about Joe's playing walking out to the car. Basically he is in the vicinity of what Eddie did but then adds his flavor to it; fine as long as you know and expect that going in. I mean he is not a cover band guitarist and this is not a cover band so I believe that is perhaps part of the reason why.

For me..this is what we have left; I am going to go every time until it is all over!

What do you have to do to be able to purchase tickets at the presale?

I used to have all my ticket stubs from 73 to 2010 on a collage . But I got rid of them one night guess it was menopause.

Way back when the tour was first announced I received a notification because I long ago subbed to Sammy's site...just putting your e-mail in for news etc. It was a pre-sale offer with code to buy tickets.

The videos that are shot from Mike's side looks like they were taken where I was sitting but maybe a row or 2 towards the stage, it's the same vantage point I had. it was awesome

One more comment I wanted to make...I did not hear much, if any, "references" to Eddie during the show except one which I am not sure how to decipher. If you go to the 1:06 mark on the full video posted by Brett; at the end of Satch's solo Sammy points up and says "Eddie's looking down going fucking hell."

Not sure what to make of that....I mean Eddie was kind and complimentary; especially in his older years as he sobered up but sorry.....I find no chance he would ever make that statement about Satch's solo bit.

I went to the Pine Knob show and it was awesome! I really wish they would skip Jump and Eagles Fly, I'm just tired of those songs. I don't know how many times I've heard them and I would rather hear something else. Aside from that, everyone performed spectacularly! The downside for me was, even though I love Satch and everything he's done, hearing him play EVH just made me miss Ed even more for some reason. He did a great job though and I don't think I would want to see anyone else play Eddie's guitar parts, in my opinion.

I think he meant it as Eddie would say that if he heard how good the band sounds, that's how I took the comment. I could be wrong. there were a decent amount of Eddies image on the video screen but I think they were limited in what they were allowed to show (I don't know why that would be but that's the feeling I had0, like when they showed the footage from the 5150 walk from LWAN, they only showed the band's shadow image...stuff like that. I could be wrong about everything I typed but those were my impressions

Joe's intro to Summer Nights is not...good.

[Brett]

Sounds fine to me.

Some people get triggered by Joe playing EVH riffs - all a bit weird

Well, it’s not like EVH can play them anymore. Can’t really do this tour any other way if you want to hear Van Halen music.

You're not good. Joe is a legend, and you're just...well...86.
