11.03.07 @ Izod Center E Rutherford, NJ
I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Van Halen again over the weekend. The show was waaaaay better this time for a number of reasons. First off, the tckets were free (thank you Blatter!). Also, the seats were WAAAY better. 4th row, dead center, inside the circle of the stage loop. The band was definitely improved since the Philly show over a month ago, and aside from Eddie Van Halen experiencing some serious technical problems, they blew me away. Thats the closest Ive ever watched a full major concert from. Its another level of entertainment you simply cannot get from anything outside of the first 10 rows at a stadium or arena. David Lee Roth really emotes and accents every note and lyric, roundhouse kicks and all, and Eddie still really puts on a serious exhibition of guitar skill and showmanship.
I took a bunch of pictures with my camera phone. Heres two of the best pix.
Diamond Dave in full effect!
