Van Halen : The DLR reunion tour so far…

The first VAN HALEN tour in more than 22 years with David Lee Roth as lead vocalist kicked off Thursday night (September 27) at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena in Charlote, North Carolina.

Nearly all reports of the shows so far have been nothing but positive. Lots of fan footage has been made available via YouTube, and from all accounts, it seems that all is good in the Van Halen camp.

While Dave is managing to whip up some of those high kicks, his energy levels have been very refrained and casual (aside from riding his giant blow-up microphone like a bull!), but his voice is getting nothing but praise, and most will agree it’s probably better than ever.

Eddie himself, who struggled on the last tour, is blowing people away in classic fashion.

Several echoes of protest are still being heard without Michael Anthony, but young Van Halen seems to be settling in well, although obviously not as stage practised as the rest.
Van Halen has landed.
