"Six hours later, it opened its doors to reveal black and silver containers. Lots of them, stacked high and tight. Each one handled as if it were a newborn. And on each, written in magic marker, a household name: VAN HALEN.

"After nine years away from the stage, the band reunites in Greensboro on Friday for a 47-date tour.

"In a nationwide conference call with reporters last week, vocalist Sammy Hagar, the band's on-again, off-again and now on-again frontman, promised: 'The set list will kill you.'
