    VH, the best band in Rock and Roll history. Yes I liked the DLR era better but, still with Sammy still the best rock and roll band in history.

      paulie.. if you understood the innovative jumps he took, or how much the guitar industry has him to thank, for the simplest of things.. like potting pickups.. the fact tablature was written specifically to explain his playing..
      you will understand why there will never be another eddie van halen.

      I agree. There has never been a guitarist who followed him who contributed as much to music as he did. There have been some great ones, sure, but no one has ever matched his level of talent.

    I missed this tour, but have seen VH 12 times in my life.. last time was 2015. I dont care who sings, I wouldn't presume to be able to dictate who sings in the band. Edwards Eruption (VH first album) and seeing them in 1979, is why I love to play guitar.

    I saw the Monsters of Rock tour on June 30, 1988 in Spokane at Joe Ali Stadium Y&T, Kingdom Come, Metallica, Dokken, Scorpions and Van Halen. It was 95 degrees, 120 on the ground. Half way through the show, the med tent had already treated 400 people, mostly from heat exhaustion and about 30 had been transported to the hospital. I was at about stage height in the stands and that was bad enough. Got there at 6am and when the gates opened at 10 am it was already hot, but I got an end seat in the stands right next to Van Halen's fireworks, it was loud. Great show, every break went to the restroom and soaked myself with water including my hat and got a fresh pop and it wasn't too bad that way. I was smart and wore all white, sleeveless shirt and shorts and hat. I am a desert girl so I knew how to keep cool. The first band played at 1pm and it ended after 11 pm. It was 125 mile drive but worth it. Of course back then there weren't many concerts in Eastern Washington so Seattle and Portland were it, and even further.

    I've seen more rock bands live than I can list here, and as far as musical talent goes, this van halen lineup has got the most of any I've ever seen hands down. Everybody knows how good Eddie was, but Alex is a monster on drums, and Sammy is a great guitarist also. Not to mention Michael Anthony who is also an awesome bass player and vocalist. I consider myself very lucky to have seen this band live at their peak in 1996. They were unbelievable. I miss Eddie so bad. RIP EVH and godspeed to the immortal Van Halen.

    Best concert I’ve ever seen. Waited in line, (not online), overnight for tickets.
    There was a stadium wide food fight right before VH went on. You could watch the wave of food, trash, drinks, etc.
    VH was actually waiting to go on.
