David in Charlotte reports on the first night of The Van Halen Tour 2007 (Setlist)

Just got home from the awesome 2 hour concert; the 50 year old boys rock nicely with Eddie's boy at bass. Exact lay out of the 25 songs list are below. They did a very fine show. Valerie Bertinelli was sitting right behind the sound guy for a 15 minute stint. Her expression was the same; no smile, just intense focus. They rocked good together. I really liked their layout of songs; going from "Romeo Delight" to "Somebody Get Me a Doctor". One could easily criticize there performance; Dave would or could not sing all lyrics, he'd stop and then would continue on another line,but what do expect from guys who haven't performed in 20+ years. The guys really had fun performing together; you could see it in their behavior. Don't pass it up!! I'll see them in just 75 miles away from Charlotte, in Greensboro. Makes me wonder, why are we so lucky to have 2 shows in N.C. and no show in the rest of the Southeastern U.S. from Dallas to Atlanta to Miami. We are so lucky.
