awesome. Listen here . I never was a VAN HALEN fan. They were huge when I was starting in the job world , i was too busy trying to make money then listen to David Lee Roth, so I took a pass on VH (as they are known). But I later found out that Van Halen was the favorite group of 2 of my best friends(couple) and I started to get hooked. At parties we would break out our Karaoke version of SKYNRYD’S Gimme Three Steps, the ROLLING STONES..Brown Sugar, and many others…Then one night the couple put on VH. One song after another our whole group knew except me. I had to learn quickly. They are a GREAT party band to listen to. Straight out.. So last night at the IZOD center..They were just that…But a Live party ! David Lee Roth was so jacked that he could have been at an NFL combine in the afternoon, then singing PANAMA that night ! He moved around the stage with his multi-colored selections of Top Hats nailing every VH classic. The beginning of the show was good, but the second half…After DLR ’s acoustic story and lead in to ICE CREAM MAN , the concert took off. With Eddie Van Halen’s and Valerie Bertinelli’s son WOLFGANG on Bass , and Alex Van Halen on drums, EDDIE VAN HALEN took his guitar and held us hostage. Eddie in my opinion is one of the top Guitarists ever..I heard those gasps you purists..But he straight out is. From his sick opening of ERUPTION, to PANAMA, JUMP, RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL,and especially AIN’T TALKIN BOUT LOVE … He just grabs the audience by the throat and wrestles them to the ground before him. So if you ever get a chance to see VH ( I think they are playing at the GARDEN on Friday)..RUN WITH THE DEVIL to see them and just marvel at this fun group with one of the greatest guitarists of all time ..Eddie Van Halen.. long live Rock and Roll ! PS Here is my list of Top 10 Guitarists..Not in order. Hendrix, Santana, Clapton,Alvin Lee, Duanne Allman, Eddie Van Halen , Jack White,Derek Trucks, Jimmy Page, and Keith Richards.
