John and I went to see Van Halen last week. I'm not a big fan of pre-Sammy VH, so when they played stuff off the 1984 album all it did was remind me of how much I hate David Lee Roth, and my sophomore year in high school when we'd all go to this guy Jerome's house for parties (he was a new kid from France and for some reason his parents were never around on weekends so he hosted party central on a regular basis. The next year his dad must have been transferred back to France, because Jerome, and more importantly to me at that point, his great party house, were gone). But, I thought the VH concert was great. It was hard to believe how old those guys are - late 40s and 50s and still running around the stage doing shots of tequila and such. They put my 36 year old antics to shame (haven't had tequila since a  bad high school experience, one that did not take place at Jerome's house, but in a bar).  My husband wasn't as impressed with concert as I was. Eddie's guitar kept cutting out, and as a guitar/rock and roll aficionado he was appalled. John was convinced that Eddie's roadie was going to get the boot as soon as the concert was over.  But, as someone who can't tell a Gibson Les Paul from a Stratocaster (ok, I can tell a Gibson Les Paul, but only because John has educated me), I wasn't as annoyed as John. So, VH on tour some twenty years after David Lee Roth left (thank god), a big thumbs up.
