VAN HALEN
11.13.07 @ MSG, NYC
Yes I saw the Van Halen tour again for a third time. once, twice, three times a lady...
OK, so the they played the same set, but it was better, and there are some serious differences in the way Eddie plays and improvises, and what Roth says, and when and how we kicks and schticks...
This time around my dear friend Angie hooked my good friends Ron, JT, John & Lisa Izzo, and Lori and I with some truly wicked seats. Dead center of the floor, right in front of the loop of the extended stage, and even better, directly in front of Valerie "I used to be Eddie Van Halens Wife" Bertinelli. Beat that! Bertinelli, who is also the current spokeperson for Jenny Craig (seems to be working) was with her friend Rachel Ray, who is ironically the current spokesperson for Dunkin' Donuts & Triscuits. Way to support your fat friend Rach...We also spotted Val Kilmer in the crowd, who is rumored to be playing David Lee Roth in the also rumored film version of "The Dirt" the Motley Crue book. He is also fat. So is Fat Vince Neil from Motley. Buncha' Fat Fatty Fatso's. I thought they all did tons of blow? You think they'd be tiny or is that crack? anyways....
Also worth noting is that this show was in NYC at the Garden. Thats the real test, and they passed with flying colors. Its been weeks since the show now, and I swear that I am still reading reviews pour in (including a rare glowing review from Bob Lefsetz) as well as just in conversation on the street. That doesn't happen any more. If so, please tell me when and who, cus I want to see that band too...
For those of you have yet to witness this grand spectacle in person or via YouTube, You can still catch the tour when it comes your way. Note: they just added a ton of new dates for 2008 including a return to NYC!
For those of you still not sure or to cheap, or lame , or whatever, heres this from the MSG show:
Enjoy.
