These aren't great, but something. Security was crazy, but someone tried.

Wow cool! I'll watch later when I get home! Thanks!

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!

#3 - Beautiful girls - awesome .....

Diamond Dave sounds good .... EVH sounds good and looks, dare I say it, hot?

Wolfie looks at home ....... loved in the second one (Panama) how he walked up to DLR's mic and Dave deadpanned to the audience - such a showman!!!!

This is a tour to be excited over .... I envy the VH fans who get to look forward to it and get to go.

[edit: latest email from my fave bob lefsetz www.lefsetz.com ]

(this is an email lesetz received and is passing on to us)

From: LUKEDADDY

Subject: I have seen the future !

It's not "NEW"

It's fucking VAN HALEN!!

I was invited to a loose rehearsal for the new tour last night. It was NOT the
"fab: dress rehearsal, it was one where in a big arena they were rehearsing for
the upcoming tour. Now Ed and Al are dear friends of mine for alomost 30 years,
same "valley" upbringing as me, and I have always loved VH and the music, but
also more cause I really love these guys as friends. Our kids grew up together,
we live near each other etc..

Fuck all that.

I saw and HEARD REAL ROCK N ROLL! It took me back.. I had a fucking tear in my
eye. They are Baaaack! If this ain't the rock n roll event of the year then I
fucking will be your septic tank salesman!

Ed KILLED, Alex, never better (dig the drum solo!). Any doubts about Wolfie are
laughable, he played and sang all the high parts and made Alex's groove more
deep than ever in the history, 16 years old, look out for THIS kid!, and I gotta
say, Dave brought it! I admit, I was a bit "Oh fuck I hope this is good" but
fucking A if Dave didn't deliver! (even though there were maybe 100 people
hangin out watching)..

I brought my 20 year old son who is a HUGE fan.. the sound and vibe of this band
brought me back to 1978 and like a fine wine tasted better than ever! The SET
LIST?? It's gonna KILL YOU!

GREAT production but it's ALL about the band not flashy images of bullshit artsy
fartsy crap, it's the BAND and Dave is really the cat that can front VH. He sang
his ASS off and was really cool. No cheese here guys, this is filet Mignon!

If you don't see what I saw last night, and that's WITHOUT a massive arena crowd
that will tear the roof off..well then you might as well be dead! Nothing fake
here guys, nothing shallow or jive... just the best rock n roll band that the
USA has got! Whatever they are charging go see it !

They were having FUN! There was some humour but not in a cheesy way, VH way.
Damn, there IS hope yet!

Luke

Absolutely KILLER!!!

Still hoping for a FL show.

Thanks piecesofeight! Man, Eddie hasn't missed a beat....

Posted: **Tue Sep 18, 2007 7:25 am**

IMO, Ed's playing sounds great, but Roth looks goofy and sounds like crap.

I know It's a bad clip and only rehearsal, but they seem slow with no energy. I'll take Sammy anyday.

Indeed..

Very cool clips, thanks for posting!

I really don't care what DLR sounds like, it's just cool to see him in Van Halen again. I'm happy for Eddie, that dude did a transformation that couldn't have been from anything but hard work. He deserves a lot of respect for that.

No doubt!

I don't care for DLR - in VH or solo, but those clips make me want to go see them. Too bad both shows in MI are sold out, I"ll just wait for the CD/DVD that is bound to come out, they would be fools not to release it.

I'm more happy for Edward, he turned himself around and for that I give him props.

thanks

Thanx Pieces of Eight for the previews...I'll pop back here after the Oct 7th show and give my 2 cents...I've been a fan since I was 18 and now I'm 41 and can't wait. I'm hoping Dave will be into it alittle more but then again this was practice

Posted: **Tue Sep 18, 2007 11:17 am**

We'll be at the Oakland show ... IF... we can get tickets when they go on sale Sunday.

Posted: **Tue Sep 18, 2007 12:00 pm**

I wonder if they borrowed Journey's big screen? Remember all the shit Journey took for the giant scree on the 2001 Lipped Disc?

Posted: **Tue Sep 18, 2007 12:06 pm**

Who gives a rat's ass about Journey? This is a VH post, get with the program bruttha!

Fuck you thumbdick. It's A JOURNEY forum. Get the fuck out of here and post in the VH board queerhole.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

I fucking hate VH. All those ego driven dickasses can blow me.

They will be lucky to finish the tour.

With that big headed D.L.R it will never last he's to much of an ego hog ...and that's all it will take...that dumbass wouldn't have the common sense to pull his head out of his ass to breathe.

DLR's head won't allow it...and after a few shows and time on the road that bottle will slip right back into eddie's hand unfortunately.

Too much invested. It will go off as planned. Just watch. They had never gotten to the rehearsal stage before. I'll bet you $100 they make it through the tour.

Well, they're not as young as they used to be. Don't expect to see Dave do any split jumps off the drum kit. :lol:

They've gotten as far as rehearsals, so anything's possible. :lol:

I agree with you, ED...The guys look like they're in great shape, PLUS I'm sure there's a shitload of money at stake! I still can't get used to Wolfgang on bass though...Michael Anthony was a major part of that rhythm section and harmony/backing vocals.
