Wolfgang Van Halen performed admirably in both the bass and vocals parts. I wish there had been a bass solo too as he can shred on the bass. He’s not as good as Michael Anthony but it seemed awkward that everybody else got solos except for Wolf. I’m sure he didn’t mind, what a rush being 16 and playing with one of the greatest rock and roll bands in history. And as for his relationship with his dad on stage? There was one sweet father son moment where they both were on their knees facing each other during a solo and Eddie leaned over and kissed Wolf on the head.

David Lee Roth sounded better on vocals, the sound wasn't the best in the dome. On some songs he was mixed well and you could hear his vocals well, but on too many songs he was drowned.

Alex Van Halen is one of the best drummers I have ever seen live. His solo was incredible.

Where to begin with Eddie? He seemed to get better everytime i see him. If Eddie isn’t the best living rock and roll guitarist, who is? Malmsteen might be faster, but technically? No contest. Most of the solos were either close or dead on and his improvisations were spontaneous and eye opening. Several Eddie just did what? type moments with sounds generated from his guitar and EVH branded amps.

Van Halen’s performance tonight was awesome. I hope VH can hold it together and cut a new album. I would go see them again in a heartbeat.
