1. Love Promise Of The Real

This tour is gonna be amazing. Sadly it will make Lukas Nelson a guy that will be HUGE and I will miss the intimacy of his shows....

2. That's a good point.

3. I am like his biggest fan and have been forever

One of them guys you know is gonna change music. Seen him a buncha times, with Willie and the Family and in various bands and sit in's as well as Promise and the reggae-ish band he used to be in who's name escapes me right now.

Last October my dream came true when he sat in with Leftover Salmon at the Indy on Sat of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Was sooo goooood and I got free VIP'd too!

4. I'm glad they got to play an extended tour with Neil. Neil has some special insight and experience.

5. Very reassuring...his voice sounds a hell of a lot better than in the clip I posted last week

He's like every other singer when they get to "that age" where they have to take things down an octave or two...He stayed pretty much on course until the "Waiting to follow" line, but it still sounds good...I'd go to hear him. He sounds about 1000% better than another singer I listened to, back in the day, sounds in 2015:

7. Was that David Lee Roth?

Didn't sound like him at all.

[Miles Archer]

8. That's him, and you're right...his voice is shot.

He talks through or shouts most of the lyrics these days. The buzz word among people who remember the original albums is "he's turned int your crazy old uncle who thinks he can sing."

10. Because in 2012 he still sounded like Diamond Dave.

11. I wrote a 5 star review for that album on Amazon

I didn't really care if Eddie gathered up the scraps and demos and wrote no "new" songs. It sounded like classic Van Halen. And he kept the keyboards to one song. A lot of people blame Sammy for Van Hagar being soft. My response to that is "Listen to Chickenfoot." Van Halen has never been a democracy. Eddie's desire to explore keyboard / synth-driven pop came into full flower on "1984," and Van Hagar was just a extension of that. I liked "Cabo Wabo" and "Best Of Both Worlds" and "Poundcake," but "Love Walks In?" Not so much.

6. Now why does Young sound so good in this song, while so terrible in "Wolf Moon?"

[Miles Archer]

9. That's the one I posted

And I don't know...the first thing that came to mind was the "Tonight's The Night" album and songs like "Mellow My Mind"...maybe it was intentional.
