still ringing. That aside, DLR has some extremely effeminate mannerisms for a straight guy. Okay, now that we’ve gotten past that… Wolfgang Van Halen did a good job on bass. He was no Michael Anthony, but he played the part well. He definitely shows Valerie Burtinelli’s features. He could also stand to lose about 50 pounds. Heh. He was probably the heaviest one on the stage. You could tell when he relaxed because those were the times he showed some stage presence. Granted, he’s onstage next to three men who have about 35 YEARS worth of experience performing in front of folks. (I just checked Wikipedia. He’s 16!) All in all it was a good show. The opening act was okay. Ky Mani Marley (I think that’s his name) was decent. I do believe he’d be better viewed in a club environment tho. For those of you who are curious… Here’s the setlist:
- You Really Got Me
- I’m The One
- Runnin’ With The Devil
- Romeo Delight
- Somebody Get Me A Doctor
- Beautiful Girls
- Dance The Night Away
- Atomic Punk
- Everybody Wants Some
- So This Is Love?
- Mean Streets
- Pretty Woman
- Drum Solo (ALEX ROX YER SOX OFF!)
- Unchained
- I’ll Wait
- The Cradle Will Rock
- Hot For Teacher
- Little Dreamer
- Little Guitars
- Jamie’s Cryin’
- Ice Cream Man
- Panama
- EVH Guitar Solo (20 minutes of rockin’ guitar bliss!)
- Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love
- 1984
- Jump
Just sanity-checked my setlist. I had all the right songs, but wrong titles on a few. The list has been corrected now. 🙂
