Notes:
Make no mistake: Despite his age, which he made light of at several points during the

show, Roth remains the ultimate showman. The energy was palpable between him and

master guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who looked equally thrilled to be sharing the stage and

gave no hint of any past disharmony as they delighted the crowd with a mix of their early

classics and cuts from their new album, “A Different Kind of Truth” – the band’s first

studio album with Roth since “1984.”

It’s can be no accident that the band, on its first tour since 2007-08 and following a fun-

filled set by Kool and the Gang, opened their two-plus hour show with “Unchained.” The

song states that “nothin’ stays the same,” and while this has been true to some extent,

it’s nice to see some things barely ever change.

Like Roth’s command of the stage, including his fun interaction with the band, and those

familiar moves that – while not quite as animated – still conjured memories of Van Halen’s

early days. The jumps off the stage platform have been replaced with high kicks, and he

doesn’t get quite as low on those splits (and holding his back, feigning pain in a little bit of

comic relief, and another time offering, “I look a little rough but I’m good to go.”) But

there was enough of the gyrating, crotch-grabbing, playful Roth that we could overlook

the more tame stage antics. And the slim Roth can still pull off the leather pants without

looking like an Elvis impersonator.

Or Eddie Van Halen’s command of the guitar, which drew the loudest reaction during a

solo featuring “Eruption” in which he left the crowd in awe of how he could cajole those

kinds of sounds from a common instrument while sitting on stage as if we were

entertaining the neighborhood kids on his front stoop. And those old classics such as

“Pretty Woman,” “You Really Got Me,” “Dance The Night Away” and “Beautiful Girls,”

delivered with that playful interplay between “Diamond Dave” and Eddie that left the

“older” folks in the crowd thinking they were back in high school.

Even their new songs brought a fresh reminder that this band is going back to its roots.

“She’s The Woman” features the hard-driving guitar and vocals that would have fit in

perfectly in the pre-Sammy Hagar (remember him?) era. Same with “Tattoo,” another

showcase for Roth’s iconic vocals and Eddie’s guitar skills, and a vehicle for Roth to

show some skin – even if it was just the tattoo of a gun on his right, um, posterior.

Change isn’t bad, though. While Michael Anthony is out as bassist, the new face is

Eddie’s 21-year-old son, Wolfgang, who didn’t share the joyful exuberance of his older

bandmates, but still represented, especially early on with his intro for “Runnin’ With The

Devil.”

If change is for the better, we learned that through a poignant story that Roth shared of

is love for ranching and his two herding dogs, Mikey and Benny. Sporting overalls and an

acoustic guitar over his shoulder, the backdrop video of the dogs in action was the

vehicle for Roth to share this passion before entering into a spirited rendition of the slow,

soulful “Ice Cream Man.”

That led to an encore of “Jump” and had virtually the entire arena on its feet, dancing

and singing along as the show ended with a bang – literally – with confetti falling from the

rafters and Roth waving a giant checkered flag as the band triumphantly crossed the

finish line.
