About

VAN HALEN IN CONCERT:

In their rise stardom, the legendary rockers of Van Halen left an indelible mark on hard rock and heavy metal by challenging conventional notions of what was musically possible. From the hot-wired licks of guitarist Eddie Van Halen to the heart-pounding double bass drumming of his brother Alex, their supercharged sound never fails to excite audiences in concert. And with legendary frontman David Lee Roth bringing his charisma back to the fold, the group has recaptured the same energy that made them a must-see spectacle in the first place. Incendiary hits like “Hot for Teacher” and “Ain’t Talking ‘Bout Love” still sit perfectly beside catchy favorites like “Jump” and “Dance the Night Away”, and ticket buyers can’t help but sing along to all the classics every time Van Halen plays on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Growing up in a musical household, brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen pushed each other to become instrumental virtuosos by their teens. They started playing with dynamic singer David Lee Roth and bassist Marc Anthony in 1974, settling on the eponymous Van Halen moniker later that year. Their self-titled 1978 debut went on to sell over 10 million copies thanks to Eddie’s game-changing guitar playing, Roth’s flamboyant persona, and their undeniably catchy songs. The band became a veritable hard rock institution with their masterstroke album 1984, which contained the number 1 hit “Jump” and helped them crossover from metal to mainstream. Unfortunately, conflicts between Roth and the rest of the band lead to a falling out, and the frontman was replaced by Sammy Hagar. The new Van Halen lineup scored more hits, while Roth concurrently enjoyed a successful solo career. Eventually Hagar split with the group as well, and they briefly hired former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone before announcing a hiatus in 1999. The band reunited with Hagar in 2003 for a reunion tour, but tensions in the band resulted in him leaving again. Tempers between David Lee Roth and the band had cooled by that point, and he rejoined Van Halen in 2006, while Eddie’s son Wolfgang took over on bass. Their fresh lineup still inspires the same pandemonium from their early days, while their 2012 album A Different Kind of Truth (their first record with Roth since 1984) continues to excite fans around the world.

    Van Halens Were AWESOME...Roth, Not So Much

    by RushFan on 2015-09-15Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - Bethel

    After hearing the live CD, I thought...OK Dave really can't sound that bad. He didn't...He sounded WORSE!!! His voice is terrible, and many times he either forgot the words to the songs, or just didn't want to sing them. And I'm not talking about a word her, or a word there. I'm talking about entire lines of the song. Eddie, is well...Eddie. Still masterful. And with the exception of a technical glitch during his solo (which he jokingly said to the audience...something is REALLY wrong here), he was PERFECT!!! Alex was brilliant, and didn't miss a beat. His solo was great, but it could have been longer. I have to admit, I missed Michael Anthony on bass, but Wolfie did do a great job in his place.

    Van Halen incredible!

    by bubblehockeybob on 2015-08-10Molson Canadian Amphitheatre - Toronto

    So much better than i expected. Saw them on Jimmy kimmel and was really afraid that Dave couldn't sing any more. He can! The whole band was fantastic and worth every penny. Opening act was spectacular too.

    Van Halen

    by SparkyandSan on 2015-08-10Western Fair District - London

    Concert was OK, not great, just OK. I'd say it was more like the Eddie Van Halen show. David Lee Roth was average at best. His BBD date has long past. Eddie is incredible and was worth the admission. The next time I attend a concert at the fairgrounds, I will save myself a huge hassle and will sit a hundred yards from the stage. We originally camped out roughly 30 yards from the stage, but people couldn't stand still, they tiptoed over and around others to try and get 5 feet closer. Too many 50 year olds cutting loose for an evening.

    Van Halen was Amazing

    by KDL1 on 2015-08-10Molson Canadian Amphitheatre - Toronto

    Contrary to most of the reviews I read before attending, Van Halen absolutely killed it. They came out loud and hold that level of enthusiasm for the next 2 hours. David often forgot the words and walks the stage instead of runs...'but the three Van Halens on the stage more than make up for it. The show slows for a brief moment while DLR does an acoustic intro to Ice Cream Man, but we all know how that song ends. If your a fan, especially of the early VH, you will not be disappointed.

    Van Halen

    by LMyre on 2015-08-10Molson Canadian Amphitheatre - Toronto

    I have to say that I prefer Sammy Hagar to David Lee Roth...having said this...Eddy and the band make up for Roth's performance. The concert was pretty good but only because of the band and not necessarily the singer.

    This is it!

    by zed1 on 2015-08-10Molson Canadian Ampitheatre - Toronto

    This was the VH concert I have been waiting 30 years for. I never really cared for the Van Hagar era and early DLR VH concerts were a real mess with the band being drunk, incessant talking, worthless solos & a high school talent night feeling to their shows. VH were bang on the money at Molson. They really wanted to be there. Smiling, interacting with the audience, moving around, doing some cornball stuff, and playing like it was their last concert. It took a long time for them to get here but It was worth the wait. And considering Wolf is part of the band it really was the most Van Halen a Van Halen concert could ever be. I don't know if they'll continue on after this tour, but if they don't I'll have memories of the best concert I've ever seen them play. Rock on Eddie, Alex, Wolf and David Lee.

    Say what?

    by Looiss on 2015-08-10Molson Canadian Amphitheatre - Toronto

    The sound was absolutely terrible, distorted. Hard to hear anything except the rhythm section. Eddie in good form but big solo disappointing. Diamond Dave talked more than sang and is a cheeseball. Flirty smiles and costume changes do not make up for lack of vocal chops. Really disappointing
