Van Halen 2 days later

Well overall the show was very good. David Lee Roth voice was good in some parts and very muffled in others. I give him a 7. Wolfie was great good voice great bass I am impressed that he is only 7 years older than me and he plays in a major rock band, I gave him a 8.5. Alex was good. Very cool solo but nothing that really jumped out at me. I give him a solid 7. The nite goes to Eddie. Cool sounds lightning fast riffs sounds like a multiple of guitars playing. His guitar solo featured eruption with som very cool stuff thrown in. Lots of guitar effects and his use of the whammy classic. And oh by the way they played MAGIC BUS just a little part of it. And they also played crossroads and sounded exactly like Clapton. I would like to see them again, dad bought me a cool shirt. We see Gov't mule next in july. I love Warren Haynes. I love summer.

Great review AJ and probably right on the mark. I'd probably give Alex a bit higher score though. He's an awesome drummer. As for David Lee Roth...I kind of figured he'd have a tough time on some of those tunes. At 50 plus years old it's virtually impossible to sound like you did when you were 20. Sounds like you had a great time!

Keep Rockin'!

Eddie on guitar playing a bit of Magic Bus, very cool indeed. Great show review. After all these years and still they hit it out the ball park. :)

well, Wolfie is born into his Dad's legend rock band, pretty easy for him.



rock on!!

I had to come over from Rob's blog--your Dad is the coolest ever. The concerts you have lined up to see are amazing, personally I have never seen Stevie Wonder, how special, and Eric. Wow!

long live rock!
