Van Halen Play First Gig With David Lee Roth Since
1985
Legendary rockers Van Halen kicked off their reunion tour with
original singer David Lee Roth to an ecstatic reception from more
than 18,000 fans in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday.
Roth, who hasn't performed with the band since 1985, and fellow
original members Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen took the
Bobcats Arena stage alongside Eddie's 16-year-old son Wolfgang, who
completes the line-up on bass.
The group played classics including "You Really Got Me," "Runnin'
With The Devil," "Ice Cream Man," "Eruption" and "Jump."
A smiling Roth wanted to play as much music as possible, telling
the audience, "I'm not going to waste time bulls**ting around
tonight."
