Wow! I didn't expect to be impressed. I LOVE Mike Anthony. Wolfie is actually good. After hearing this video and the fact they played a CLUB and not an arena I just might possibly consider the potential that a slim chance might present itself that I could possibly like Van Halen again. I like the way Wolfie plays here. I'm a bass player with lots of experience and I can assure you the boy can play a bass. He's not a frustrated guitarist or anything. He's a bass player.
the boy becomes a man!! Good for you Wolfie! Michael Anthony isnt unemployed and he's doing fine. VH needed an infusion of youth and he brings new blood to the rebirth. i cant wait till Buffalo. tickets are gonna be hot!
@YngtchieMusic, can't argue that but it does no good to argue. If you are that hang up on a band not having one of its members, then I'm sorry for you. How did you ever survive as Van Halen fan?
Hip hop is to music what cotton candy is to a steak dinner. No substance. A scowling angry black spoken word artist with an mc and no musical talent shy of autotune. Real music played by real musicians. The greatest frontman alive talking about getting a degree to take people to see the doctor before the son someone get me a doctor. Eddie sounds great. Wolgang is coming into his own with alex. Diamond dave still shines like he did on Dave Tv. Michael Anthony Who? Phenomenal!
@dretot, MA was good but Wolfgang is a VAN HALEN. You're dreaming if you don't think Ed had this planned from the day of Wolf's birth. All the whiners in the world aren't gonna change that.
I wish I would have known you before you recorded this historic concert. I would have told you to turn your phone sideways when recording video. Happy for the footage though.
@minimumpayne Ahahah, bullshit, Wolfgang has a nice bass playing in his left hand but plays with a pick, MA plays fingerstyle most of the time. As a bassist, is makes a big difference to me.
So I guess Spammy Hagar BS talk that VH used backing tapes of MA for Wolfie is as much BS as his tell all BS book!!! This is the mighty VAN HALEN, roar, loud & proud!!!!
nice! agree, wolfie sounds good. kind of like the 2007/2008 tour they were baby stepping him. now that they are a band they kind go with the faster pace and he can keep up

I just put together (in a playlist) this CAFE WHA (small club gig in NYC)
that Van Halen just did on Jan. 5, 2012
It's in my channel and it's arranged in the correct order of the set list.
Enjoy.
