What a show!!! A perfect summer night and a dedicated crowd, what could go wrong? NOTHING! After the first two songs (see the setlist) the crowd was absolutely stunned, everyone went wild when Dave started jumping around like, he was 25 again. Man the intensity woff, I couldn't believe my eyes.

(Right: Dave signs a poster for the VHND. Scroll to the bottom of this page for a picture of the signed poster.)

Someone asked me after the show how old Dave is and she didn't believe me when I told her. I'm pretty sure of the setlist!

Dave picked up a CD from the floor and looked at it, and said: "...Sammy Hagar? I don't think so..." and threw it away!

It was the best thing I've ever seen, Dave kicks ass!!!

Well... Dave delivered the funniest, craziest, happiest and most ass-kickin, hard-core rock show seen in Europe since his "Little Ain't Enough" tour in 92.

And compared to Van Halen's last nostalgia-act... I feel sorry for Eddie and his employees 'cause David showed us how it is supposed to be done!!!

DAVID LEE ROTH RULES - HE IS THE BEST ENTERTAINER IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

THERE NEVER WAS, IS OR WILL BE A ROCK-STAR LIKE HIM!!

Unbelievable!!!!!

Diamond Dave is still the number one entertainer!!!! I was one of a few lucky Europeans who got to see Van Halen with Gary Cherone last year and I really thought that Gary did an excellent job as frontman. That's what I thought until late Saturday night this weekend!!!! Dave kicked ass!!!!!

The hair was thinner and the belly was bigger but the rest was exactly the same as 20 years ago!!! No...one more thing changed...Dave didn't forget the words this time!!!! Amazing!!!

I haven't heard any bootleg where Dave sings this good!!! I may have been blinded by the lightning performance though.

Bart Walsh was great on the guitar but why.......why did they (try to) do Eruption????? This only showed that Eddie still is the king!!!
