Well, I don't know... Van Halen was a very popular rock and roll band in the seventies and eighties... they got rid of their original singer a long time ago and they were never really the same after that. So I was excited to have a chance to see this reunion tour.
The guitar player Eddie Van Halen has had a rough couple years - he beat cancer, his mother died, he got divorced from Valerie Bertinelli (a tv actress, I noticed he's still wearing the ring) and a few rehabs. His brother Alex is the drummer and his 16 year old son (!) Wolfgang is playing bass guitar on this tour, so it's really a nice family event on stage, kind of unusual for a crunchy hard rock band!

I had really good seats, but the cell phone doesn't take very good pictures
