VAN HALEN
Auburn, WA 2015 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the White River Amphitheatre, Auburn, WA; July 5, 2015 (opening night). Very good audience recording.
seattlemusicnews.com:
The fans came out in droves for opening night of Van Halen’s summer tour, breath baited, mullets in tow. A mostly older crowd – with a few youthful stragglers – were treated to a monster set list featuring many classic songs not often heard from the band. Breaking the set open with “Light Up the Sky” the Van Halen family – Eddie, his brother Alex, and his son Wolfgang, along with lead singer David Lee Roth – brought out all the stops. The instrumentals were on point once the band got into the groove, but given it was the first night of tour that’s no surprise.
Roth on the other hand came out of the gate as over-the-top as ever. While his vocals are certainly showing his age, his spinning, matador-like scarf waving, and mic stand tricks came off as quirky and youthful. A few timing hiccups and Roth’s various chattering didn’t slow down the band, or the fans. The crowd sang along with abandon, fists pumping, camera phones in the air.

zososhane69 noted:
Holy shit is all I can say. Ed has never sounded better AND ‘In a Simple Rhyme’ ‘Dirty Movies’ and ‘Drop Dead Legs’ live??!! I’ve seen VH 10 times and this was the best time I’ve ever seen them. Thank god for Wolf and pushing a phenominal set list! The Roth spot before Ice Cream Man is extremely boring and I can only hope the guys catch a breather during this.
Thanks also to eruption1962 for the artwork.
