Van Halen Kicks off Long Awaited Tour

Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth were on stage together after years of rumors and false starts. Just like old times, the band delivered a stellar performance. “Eruption,” “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love,” and “Jump” were among the 20 plus songs they played in a 2 hour plus concert last night in Charlotte. No fisticuffs between the lead singer and the famous guitarist made the night go down without a hitch. A sellout crowd of 18,000 saw the band, touring with their original lead singer for the first time since the '1984' tour, pull off a great comeback.

Van Halen makes their way to Cleveland on October 10th, and judging from the reviews of last nights show it is a can't miss show if you are a fan of the band.
