Who the #%$* is Eddie Van Halen???!

[aMindBesideItself]

Ok, I saw Van Halen last night in Hershey, and it was freakin' unbelievable. I guess Eddie is fully recovered from his cancer. It was only the second show of the tour, and they were a little rusty, but it flat out rocked. It was incredible to see a living legend at work. Sammy was dead on too. Here's the setlist

Jump
Runaround
Humans Being (This was the best song of the show)
Up For Breakfast (new one)
Bass Solo
Somebody Get Me a Doctor (Mike on lead vocals)
Poundcake
It's About Time (new one)
Drum Solo
Top Of The World
Unchained
Why Can't This Be Love
Eagles Fly (Sammy Solo Acoustic)
Deeper Kinda Love (Sammy Solo Acoustic)
Learning To See (new one, pretty awesome)
Best of Both Worlds
Guitar Solo (a little weak)
Dreams
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
Right Now (best thing i ever heard)

Encore:
You Really Got Me
Panama
When It's Love

I've never seen them live, however I've watched concerts on video and listened to live albums and bootlegs. VH smokes in concert! I wish I could've seen that concert because they are one of the bands I'd like to see in my lifetime. Hagar, to me, is a trooper. Everything I've heard him sing, he nails. He plays great guitar to boot and I tip my hat to him. Eddie is of course Eddie. Anthony and Alex hold a solid rhythm section and provide great harmony vocals. I wish I could've seen them with Diamond Dave back in the day.
