Comments/Review:
"Recorded from Row 15 - Floor Section, centre of that
row. I was only two rows away from the crescent-shaped
stage catwalk, so I got some *very* nice close-up views
of David Lee Roth and Wolfgang Van Halen!
I attended this concert exactly a week after I saw Spice
Girls in Vancouver on the first date of their world tour
(which is a story on its own, ha ha!), and I really
wanted to attend another big show to finish off 2007, and
I'd never seen Van Halen before, so I decided to get my
ticket the night before...lucked out, because they'd
released some floor section seats (Which had been 'sold
out' for a long time) before the show, so I got a very
nice seat!
This concert was a blast, although not being familiar
with most of Van Halen's catalogue, I just *listened* to
the music and enjoyed it, took it for what it was...and
awesome songs they were!
The band was very energetic. They seemed to enjoy
themselves, and David was very humourous (yet slightly
raunchy) with some of his comments, so it was a nice
change for me, having attended more 'serious' concerts in
2007 (The Police, Roger Waters, Spice Girls) previously.
Also, I couldn't help but notice how normal looking
Wolfgang Van Halen is...!
He looks like he could be any normal kid from Edmonton,
and he certainly wouldn't be out of place if he were
living here, ha! (I wish his bass was louder and more
boomy, but for someone who hasn't been playing bass long,
he's not bad at all! And I'm speaking as a musician
myself!)
All in all, was a very enjoyable concert! Enjoyed myself
Only complaint was the guy in front of me smoking some
bad cigar(ettes?)....security took his smokes, needless
to say :P
Oh and yes, my recording!
...I daresay it's my best recording in terms of quality
out of my four recordings from the concerts I'd been to
in 2007 (none have been disappointing really, to tell you
the truth!), especially in terms of quality.
And for once, I'm pleased I can actually really hear the
audience very well on my recording! (Usually, my mikes
seem to lower the audience noise!)
Anyways, that's all for my comments! (Sorry if it was too
long!)
Enjoy!
