I'm to the point in my life, where I like the smaller venues now. You guys seem to be getting some decent shows these days, and I'll continue to come up there.
I usually try to hit at least 2 or 3 of the TSO shows. Toledo has been a no brainer. I still find it odd they wouldn't play there. The last two years they've opened the tour there, with both an afternoon and evening show being jam packed. I'll hit Grand Rapids for sure. Might hit the Palace show too.
No I didn't go to the Van Halen show. David Lee Roth's voice has been getting pretty bad reviews. This was also the first show at this particular venue so I wanted to see what it was like first. Arena audiences in London usually suck as well. I was asked to sit down at a Rush concert and Rob Zombie was so mad at the crowd that he had his band sit down on stage in protest.
I just can't do it. I saw the reunion back in 2008 and it was a complete train wreck as far as DLR/ As bad as I want to see EVH and AVH play, DLR is a complete douche, can't sing AT ALL (never could), and is a shell of his former self entertainment wise. Plus, to me no Mikie is no Van Halen. Wolfie is a capable musician, but sorry, he doesn't belong in VH despite the last name. I say bring back Sammy and go that route. It's not like the ticket sales can get any worse.
