Well, the first show of the long-anticipated Van Halen reunion tour started last night in Charlotte, NC and God said “It was good”! The reports on Wolfgang have been positive too, although it would be that much cooler with Mikey in the reunion. The setlist looks amazing and the boys are in top form. Maybe I’ll end up getting a chance to see ‘em when they add some more NY/NJ dates. The MSG and Nassau Coliseum shows sold out immediately. Get all the info below… (picture and video from their last ‘invited rehearsal’, not the Charlotte show)…

Looks good to me. Check out Hidden Track’s VH tour inauguration coverage. There’s a setlist over there, so be warned, Senor Surprise. And be sure to check out Rolling Stone’s story and awesome pictures.
All right, enough about Van Halen already! How about the ATLANTIC ANTIC festival this Sunday on Atlantic Ave. in my ‘hood. The best of all the street fairs in NY. Eating, drinking, and must-see music down by Hicks outside Magnetic Field! You really should see Mary Weiss and the Black Hollies (and I’m sure the others are great too… Lee knows how to pick ‘em)! Check it…

That’s all for now. See you at the Antic.

I just realized that the video is from their last ‘invited dress rehearsal’ as opposed to the first show of the tour.
