Wolf’s not doing any background vocals for “On Fire”…. I can hear Mike doing background on the album, and Mike certainly did background vocals live.

Could Wolf actually sing that high? Dave certainly can’t sing the chorus… 1986 was probably the last time he could perform this song.


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

I highly doubt they will add it. It’s probably just something the band was working on and they decided to add it to the sound check for the VIP experience.

Maybe…. but why play it before the VIP’s were near the stage. We only hear the back half of “On Fire”…. would be nice to hear the whole thing.

Wished they had played “In A Simple Rhyme” instead of “I’ll Wait”.

Because they start the soundcheck before the VIPs actually are in the building. Pretty sure they’re scheduled to bring in the VIPs at the same time they start sound check. If I recall, the band was already playing as we walked into the arena when I did the VIPs.

I’d be interested to know if Sunday Afternoon in the Park/One Foot Out The Door will be played since Wolf posted a short video earlier this year of him playing the synth part of it.

Yep you might be right Brian those songs could be coming…

I’d love them to do the whole of FW start to finish!
