Go to that page, click "Options" and then "Play file from, custom location". Paste in the URL and watch the video.

Otherwise, you'll need to download a free flash video player (many options use google).

Well, at about 7:30 (after starting the download of Steecoe's audio of Charlotte at JTT), I decided I would kick myself later if I missed the Greensboro show since it's only an hour away and VH doesn't go on until 9. So we headed out, so I just got back from another awesome show.

Pretty much the same as Charlotte (same setlist, same banter from Dave, etc). Still a lot of energy, and Wolfie seemed a little more comfortable (moved around more and just looked generally more "relaxed"). The major difference was the volume...Charlotte was SO MUCH LOUDER! The volume was pretty low until Ain't Talking 'Bout Love for some reason (still a good sound, but you could easily hear the people around you singing along, which wasn't possible in Charlotte), but the last 2 songs were good and "thumping". My only complaint was the kick drum was a little too loud for about the first half, but by no means ruined the show.

I paid more attention to Ed's guitars as I was too excited the first time to remember too much about them (or it could have been the beer)...he played his Wolfgangs the entire show except for a black with white stripe/black pickguard Charvel for Unchained and a Black with yellow stripe/no pickguard for I'll Wait. Little Guitars was the Red/White/Black, but not the relic EVH model (and it looked full size too, though Wolfie played a small bass on that song). The Charvels that he played in Charlotte weren't used (maybe he's selling them like he did before?)

Some interesting things:
In I'll Wait, Ed came over to Wolfie's side of the stage during the 1st verse and leaned over and said something in his ear, then kissed him on the cheek, both of them were smiling pretty big.
Someone threw a cowboy hat on stage at the start of Panama (thought it was Cradle, but after seeing youtube, it was Panama), which Dave wore for a verse, then moved to Ed and put it on him, who wore it for the chorus, who then went over to Wolfie and put it on him for the next verse and chorus. They all seemed to have fun with it.
In Cradle Will Rock (verse after the solo), Ed is laughing and walks up to Dave and says something to him while he's singing that makes Dave stop singing and laugh, then says something to the effect of "You can't do that shit to me while I'm singing".
At one point, Wolfie is on top of the ramp when the big screen shot changes to him. He turns to walk back down the ramp and flinched like he was a little startled seeing himself that big, then points up to it and smiles.
Ed made it on stage in Ice Cream Man in time this time, guitar strapped on and pants strapped up :D

Again, great show. If this is coming anywhere near you, go see it. Even if you don't have tickets, take a chance and go. I didn't even plan on going to this one, but got parked and made it to the front of the Coliseum by 8:45 where I got 2 lower level seats for $30 each.

What? 30 bucks each??:sus:

I wonder if I can get seats that cheap for one of the Vegas shows??..... :yell: :yell: :D

I guess since the show was about to start, scalpers were willing to take what they could get (the parking lot was empty of people, except for scalpers and limo drivers). I was talking with a guy in the beer line that walked through the gate with us who said he had an extra ticket in the lower level and scalpers were only offering $10 to buy it, so he decided to keep it (he said he'd rather have some room around him if he was only getting $10...lol). Going late seemed to be the key. It may have been closer to 8:55, since I did miss the first half of You Really Got Me (well, I guess actually most of it).
And don't get me wrong, I wasn't right at the stage, I was in section 121 near the top row, which is the very back of the Coliseum, but still good view/sound for that venue.

Its always the best time to buy if you willing to miss first song you can get awsome seats for almost nothing.....

Interesting to see a couple of non-Roth era clips of Ed in there.

[VHDrummer]

Two audio sources for this one confirmed.
