Van Halen is a great band from the 80's and 90's. I had the pleasure to see these Men of Hard Rock. The Guys are a little older, but so are we.....Eddie and Alex have not aged gracefully, coming on stage with no shirts and looking very skinning.....and very old....Next Sammy Hagar came out looking very fresh and all smiles.....I know Rock and Roll should be loud...but this show was too loud....so came out my ear plugs....We had side front row seats so our view of the show was fabulous....The music was fine, even if it was filted through my ears plugs.....The show lasted over 2 hours with the band playing all their hits.....Sammy was fabulous....he still has a great voice...Eddie missed a few too many notes but came through fine....But Alex was brilliant on the drums......Overall we had a fun time in viewing this band from yesteryear...All the band mates are close to 50 and their energy is amazing.....The only negative thing of the evening was after Eddie Van Halen has had mouth cancer in the past....He smoked through most of the concert making some of the audience gasp!!!!...Anyway, they will be touring for the rest of the year...Check them out!!!!
