Powerage5 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just so you guys know, it may be a few days before I can upload any more pictures. I'm trying to figure out my Flickr situation; free accounts have a limit of 200 pictures, and ain't no way in hell I'm paying to upload pictures online. I'm also unwilling to delete my GN'R pictures to make room, since Bumblefoot knows about my Flickr page and seems to have been quasi-keeping a tab on it. I really like how images resample on Flickr, they don't look too compressed like on sites like Photobucket. Worst case scenario, I'll make a second Flickr account, but I'm gonna explore my options first. In the meantime, I'm still uploading pictures to my photography page on Facebook, I've got 5 more up there that haven't been posted on Flickr/here yet.http://www.facebook.com/DanFeeneyPhotography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) I dunno guys. Dave for the most part sounded fuckin' great and vintage DLR at the Chicago show and didn't flub any lines. And he sounded great on the record. So no complaints here.Yeah, if you comb over vids you'll find him not sounding as good in some cases, but who really gives a shit when you're at the actual show, the band's blowing out your ears and Dave sounds like Dave and is as engaging as he is? Hitting all the notes like Streisand the least of my cares. Honestly, he well surpassed my expectations. Only thing I want is MORE.

Turn_It_Up Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 EVH's solos on Tattoo, She's The Woman and TTWN are awesome on record, but even come more alive at the shows. Ditto for Wolfie's vocals on songs like Beautiful Girls and TTWN. Can only imagine show awesome You And Your Blues would sound!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sang it on the acoustic dvd and it sounded ok. Maybe they could do a stripped down acoustic version. I, for one, would be okay with that.

Hitting all the notes like Streisand the least of my cares. Honestly, he well surpassed my expectations. Only thing I want is MORE.For sure, the same is true for any band. You'll always find off performances but they are never reflective of a show over all. The atmosphere is totally different at the show and Dave sounded great in Toronto and Buffalo.Agreed on what you said about the solos in the new songs too. I like the little refinements Ed made to the Tattoo solo. Sounds even better live. The She's The Woman solo is also brilliant. Far from his most challenging solo but it's very well put together in terms of note choice and you're right, it really comes alive when he does it live.Also, P5, you've earned yourself a Facebook like.

Cool, thanks for the like! I found EVH's Twitter this morning, and it seems like all he does with it is retweet what people have to say about the shows...I think you guys know where I'm trying to go with this...

Powerage5 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 A few more pics I made room for on my Flickr:I tweeted this one at Eddie...let's see if he'll retweet it... B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 To be honest I wasn't paying too much attention to the lighting at the shows, but does it ever look awesome! Love the first one of Ed with the blue lighting and that last one with the red. Needless to say all of your pictures capture it very well.

Love the first one of Ed with the blue lighting and that last one with the red. Needless to say all of your pictures capture it very well. I knew right away their lighting was killer, had nosebleeds in '07 and that was still one of the best light shows I've seen. Back then, they had lasers during the breakdown of Romeo Delight, wish they still used those...Just prepping my Pittsburgh recording to put up on Dime, it'll be up later this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Looks like Hear About It Later has returned to the set in place of Jamie's Cryin''. That and Blood And Fire didn't last long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My audio from Pittsburgh is up on Dime:http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=400583I'll give it a listen! I'm a little sorry to lose Blood and Fire but I'm glad Hear About It Later is back. Not that I don't like Jamie's Cryin but I thought Hear About It Later killed live, and Wolf's backing vocals fit perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 A few more Pittsburgh pics. Really don't know what to do about the limited Flickr space This one might be my favorite one of the night. I just get all warm and tingly when I see Eddie and Wolfie both grinning ear-to-ear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Van Halen London OntarioJohn Labbatt CentreSat. July 21, 2012Fuck, I'm on tour with my band from the 17th to the 28th Any other new dates? Our apartment has inexplicably been without power since Sunday night.EDIT: Did some research, it looks like there's a NJ show on 7/13 also, that means they'll be filling in the gaps. Would it be too much to hope for the Ottawa Bluesfest?!? B) Edited April 17, 2012 by Powerage5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Fuck, I'm on tour with my band from the 17th to the 28th I wondered about that...bummer. Maybe something will pop up that you can go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something will pop up that you can go to.I hope so too, but I'm not banking on being able to make another gig. I've currently got Maiden gigs on 7/13, 7/14, and 7/16. And I've got 7/10 put aside for another gig (Maiden at the Bluesfest is all but confirmed for that date). If VH were to play the Bluesfest on 7/9 or 7/11, that'd be too perfect! But I can't complain if I can't make another gig, I've seen 3 killer shows this tour and I'm so incredibly thankful I got to see this band again, let alone ever having seen them at all!

Zint Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Yeah I wasn't sure I was going to see another VH show this year,but when this one popped up I couldn't resist.Last time I saw VH in London was exactly 30 years ago...in July!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Bahahah. I nearly killed myself going to see VH in Toronto, and now they're coming to my hometown which I never thought would happen. Well, guess I'm going to see VH again. I'm a lucky fucking prick this year for shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
