Van Halen is Coming!

Grossman at work told me Van Halen had already sold out two shows in Atlanta, one at Philips Arena and one at Gwinnett Arena. Fortunately I just found out he's wrong -- the shows aren't sold out! February 10 at Philips, February 25 at Gwinnett. Hmm...$49.50. So who's going?

It's funny. I can remember standing in-line early some weekday morning at Turtles Records & Tapes so many moons ago waiting to buy Van Hagar tickets. At the time I couldn't believe it cost $18 and change for that ticket.

If you do decide to go I'd recommend Gwinnett over Phillips. The sound in Phillips is absolutely dreadful. I haven't been back since '99.; 1:54 PM, January 09, 2008

The only options are auctions, which are starting at $170 for Gwinnett and are at $300 for Philips! I never realized Atlanta was that much of a Van Halen town!

I blame Jimmy Page. I got distracted by the Led Zeppelin reunion and didn't check into Van Halen-land for awhile.

But as you say...I've got a great-sounding bootleg, the You Tube videos, and a DVD will be out before we know it. I wasn't really going for the music, anyhow. I know those songs like the back of my hand. I was more interested to see what a crowd of mid-30's white males looks like. Maybe they'll add a third show and Michael Anthony will mend the fence by then.; 10:12 PM, January 09, 2008
