I give it 5 out of 5 stars, and believe me I am picky.

Eddie looks great. They played 'Cradle will Rock' at sound check and I had ear boners. Big time. Sounded just like the record. Wolf said "Have you seen Junior grades" Ed says "Fuck yes I have" and then starts his solo. They didn't do that when they played it during the show. Awesome!

Wolfie is handling his role well. For a 16 y/o he is doing a great job. They even have a 'study room' where he is left alone per Valerie's request. He is currently being tutored on the road.

David is just amazing. What can I say. I was sitting next to a hottie and so we got a lot of attention from him and I saw Wolfie looking over too. He He. Caught two of Wolf's picks too. Nice.

Alex is typical Alex but his son is a terror. Holy S- I was with a roadie and he came up with a sharpie and drew all over this guys arms. The roadies are all cool guys.

Whole show. Family atmosphere. Valerie wasn't there last night but she pops up frequently to make sure Wolf (and Ed) are staying in check.

Ed is completely free from alchohol (and heroin). I never knew he was a junky too until last night. Good on him for getting his act together.

This show is worth the money. Promise.

Van Halen reunion grosses more than $93 million

Bump


Despite a wobbly start, Van Halen's first tour with singer David Lee Roth in two decades grossed more than $93 million.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters)--Despite a wobbly start and fears of imminent implosion, Van Halen said Thursday its first tour with singer David Lee Roth in two decades grossed more than $93 million, a record for the rock band.

Van Halen played to nearly 1 million people during 74 arena shows throughout the United States and Canada, beginning September 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and wrapping Tuesday in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

"We send our thanks to the countless new and longtime fans that helped make this tour our most successful," Van Halen said in a statement.

Roth, who left the band in 1985, rejoined guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen. But it was not a reunion of the classic lineup, as the brothers replaced bass player Michael Anthony with Eddie's son Wolfgang, now 17.

The reunion was initially envisaged as a summer amphitheater tour, but the trek was put off when Eddie Van Halen entered rehab. Given the historic bad blood between Roth and the Van Halen brothers, and concerns about Eddie's health, there was plenty of skepticism about the tour's prospects.

But Eddie Van Halen, displaying a buff physique, appeared to have lost none of his prowess, while Roth was in fine voice. The reviews were positive.

During a news conference last August, Roth said he expected the band to embark on a new life as a recording and touring entity. The band's immediate plans are uncertain, but the statement said "exciting developments" were on the way.

It's just not Van Halen to me if Michael Anthony isn't playing bass for them.
