That’s too bad that you missed them. The tickets were definitely not cheap.
I saw them twice on this tour (Omaha and Kansas City) and seriously considered heading to Quebec City to see them on July 3rd. Repair costs for a flooded basement shot a hole in that one though. The tickets for the festival they are playing are only about $40 bucks. Sure would’ve been fun.
They are supposedly releasing a live DVD of the tour. They sounded great both times I saw them, Omaha especially. Very tight. Word was that Eddie’s playing was absoulutely smokin’ on the shows they played after the little “health crisis” break they took in March. Those were the shows that they filmed for the DVD.
I saw that Diver Down tour as well. I actually went to the Omaha show in February with most of the same guys that I attended that show with back in 1982(these last two were the 14th and 15th shows for me since ‘79)
We were both lucky enough to see the greatest live rock band in history in their prime.
You have seen Van Halen 15 times?! I think I may have been to 25-30 Rock Concerts in my whole life. I’m definitely going to get that DVD, no matter what the price.
Was Michael Anthony missed? Did Wolfgang do anything interesting on the bass or just keep in the background?
