For Christmas this year, Danny got tickets to see Van Halen live. This is a reunion that has been years in the making and one we could not pass up seeing. It was well worth it, they ROCKED.
It was very surreal experience after we finally made it to Phillips Arena. The whole arena was filled with middle-agers out reliving their youth. Everyone was having a good time, I don't think anyone sat down the entire show (except for the lady in front of me who was obviously there because of her husband). The music was very loud and you could not always hear David Lee Roth, but it was still amazing! I had never appreciated or saw someone play the guitar like Eddie Van Halen did. He did a 15 minute guitar solo. All of the guys were in really good shape too, washboard stomachs. They certianly did not look like the were in their early 50's.
The show lasted about 2 hours and was full of energy from the first song until the last encore which was JUMP.
We didn't want to leave when it was over, we just wanted to hold on to that rock n roll feeling just a little bit longer. Suzy is threatening now to drop out of school and become a Van Halen groupie. While I know she is just kidding, wouldn't it be fun to do that just for a little while?
