Re: Van Halen Discussion
That's cool. How long was the wait for them to get on stage after Kool? So after Jump, did they just do their bows and stuff and leave?
They took stage somewhere around 9pm I believe and ended around 11. Kool and the Gang went on around 7:30, and according to setlist.fm they only played 5 songs. So they must not play for much more than 30-40 minutes or so. That would leave the wait in between maybe 45 minutes or so.
And yeah, the no encore thing is a bit strange, but whatever.
The setlist for the tour was leaked before the show last night and people were speculating whether it was legit or not. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn close. There are a few songs on the setlist that weren't played, so those could in fact be alternates for future shows. Van Halen typically doesn't change up their set much at all, but I imagine things could be different this time around with a new album to promote.

Re: Van Halen Discussion
The band probably didn't feel up to it. That's ok. Sounds like I'm getting my money's worth after all! 
Cool with me. That sounds about right for an opening act even if it's a legendary group like Kool & The Gang! I guess I will be jamming to Celebration and Jungle Boogie before VH takes the stage. Going to take a ton of pics! When I saw the Foo, Social Distortion only played for like 30 minutes and they have been around longer than any of the bands that were playing (Wish they played I Was Wrong, cause that's my favorite song from them, oh well) xD..but that was fine with me cause the Foo played about a 2 1/2 to 3 hour set full of the hits and a good chunk of the new album which was awesome! Singing along to almost the whole set!

Re: Van Halen Discussion
Woww..they sound really tight! They look like they are having a blast! Great job with the audio & video capture. Dave's voice sounds much better than the 07-08 tour. Everyone else is amazing!

Re: Van Halen Discussion
Not one song from van Hagar era...
A bit of a shame, because I'm a fan of the Van Hagar era, and there were some killer songs they released during that time.
But I'm not really surprised that they're not playing any.
Say for example that Slash and Axl patched things up again down the road, I highly doubt Slash would wanna play any CD era songs.

He doesn't have the range, but Sammy had to sing dave's songs.
Re: Van Halen Discussion

Difference is though, Sammy joined an already established band. There were songs from the DLR era they HAD to perform. Couldn't neglect them and just play the Sammy stuff. With Dave there is enough classic material for them to disregard any of the Van Hagar stuff. No disrespect, there's obviously some good stuff from that era, but there isn't a real need for Dave to try to tackle any of those songs.
