EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”.

They were living in fantasy land if they expected to sell 100,000 tickets.

You’re not wrong… They were never going to sell 100,000 tickets. Regardless who was playing… 50,000 is a lot more than it sounded like they were going to get mid week. Thats a great sized crowd for OZ…

Wish I was there…

I am glad they were living in fantasy land as another VH concert is great. Like you, wish I was there. Although standing 12+ hours in the rain would not be fun.

General word on the VH show from the Stone Fest FB page is that the sound for VH sucked. Way too much BASS. Hopefully that was only where those people were and it wasn’t that way for everyone.

Thanks for posting the vid! Anyone know if they plan on making up some of the cancelled dates here in the states from last year once they are done overseas?

When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

Are they wearing matching vests?! That’s funny.
I think the actual bass playing sounds fantastic in these last two clips – lots of riffing or whatever it’s called. Band sounds really good!

Nice clips… everyone sounds great except Dave.

Hate to say it, but I think Dave’s voice is gone. Sounded like he was singing through a broken mic. He’s lost all the bottom end of his singing voice.


The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead. Nobody rules these streets at night like Van Halen!!

I’ve thought that for the whole last album and tour cycle. They doubled his voice on the album to try and fill it out more. Live is more noticeable. At least the band is firing on all cylinders. It’s great to see and hear Eddie in good form. Alex has always been a rock and Wolf is really coming into his own. I do hope there are many more years to come. In my opinion, they need to cater the set list to Dave’s voice. No more China Town. I like She’s the Woman and hopefully they add As Is!
