Well I went to the Van Halen reunion on Tuesday, the 13th.  I am so glad that I became part of history.  They haven't played at Madison Square Garden since 1981.  Was anyone else there by any chance?  I know what some of you are thinking, you probably seen Van Halen back in the day when they were the best, and I would have loved to walk in your shoes.  But I was just so thrilled to see them come back toghther, plus come back to the garden after all these years.  It was good to see Eddie sobered up, and play better then ever.  I'll never forget it.  Know their heading to Los Angeles, I know their gonna rock the show there for sure.  Has anyone else gone?

YOU LUCKY MAN!!!!! 
VAN HALENS MY FAV BAND, AND I WISH I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE CONCERT HERE IN LA AT THE STAPLES CENTER BUT THERE SOLD OUT ALREADY!

I JUST HOPE NEXT YEAR FOR THERE 30TH ANNIVERSARY THEY HAVE ANOTHER TOUR BUT WITH ALL 4 ORIGINAL MEMBERS

MAN I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO SEE THIS NEXT YEAR!!!

I JUST HOPE DAVE AND ED DONT GET MAD AT EACHOTHER ANYMORE, CAUSE IF THEY DO THEY WONT FINISH THIS TOUR AND FOR SURE WE WOULDNT SEE A FULL THROTLE REUNION TOUR NEXT YEAR!

^ Calm down there, lad. 

I can honestly say, that I would go just to say "Yeah, I saw Van Halen" but I don't have 150 bucks for a ticket. But, I would and I wouldn't in the end. I think Eddie's good on the guitar, but not the greatest. He's highly overrated by a lot of people.

All in all, maybe if I had the money. Plus, I'm not walking/driving(don't drive)/taking a bus/taking the train to another city if they don't play St. Louis.

Wow adam that must have been AWESOME! Man, I'd love to go to one of their shows. Don't think they'd come to Idaho though....

Yes, I was at that show at the Garden and it was great. In the past I saw the Haggar version of Van Halen. So I really got to appreciate this show. I'm not a big fan of Eddie Van Halen.It has always been Diamond Dave for me. He sounded great.

well everyone, guess what, there coming back in march o the garden.  For more detail, check out their main websit.  But I dosymphahize with those who can't make it.  Its hard to afford these things now a days, sometimes we can no lnger enjoy the things that e ounce loved, because of money issues.

im going to watch them tonight at the arrow head pond over here in ca.

have fun swan_jax, I know the show will be great.

I'm going to see Van Halen in Dallas Jan 26 and I'm super stoked! My ticket states that no cameras, audio, or video are allowed. I was wondering if those of you who went took them in and got away with it or got them confiscated or what. I would love to be able to take some memorable pics.
