VAN HALEN: Madison Square Garden Footage Posted Online

Fan-filmed video footage of VAN HALEN's November 13, 2007 concert at the Madison Square Garden in New York City can be viewed below.

In its review of the show, RollingStone.com wrote, "It was hard to know where to look first when the show began: a shockingly well-preserved Ed ripping into his guitar, Dave frantically waving a red flag and grinning like a killer clown or Wolfgang, standing confidently on the side of the stage, playing a set consisting entirely of songs written at least seven years before he was born. Ultimately Dave — who reveled in every moment onstage — won out. His voice didn't sound like it was still 1984, but his vocals were significantly stronger than we'd expected. His signature karate kicks weren't as high as they used to be and he flubbed his share of lyrics (you'd think he'd at least remember 'Pretty Woman'),but his boundless enthusiasm made up for everything.

"From 1985 until 2004 VAN HALEN fans had to wade through endless Sammy Hagar (or, worse, Gary Cherone) songs to get to a handful of Roth-era classics — and even when they came, some other guy was singing them. It was barely tolerable, but it was the only VAN HALEN we had. On this tour, the events from 1985 to the present have been erased. What remains are what Dave has called 'favorites that you've been hearing tearing out of the back of a pick-up at the Burger King drive-thru for how many summertimes.' The only problem was that the arena sound system sounded like it was composed of 10,000 pick-up trucks taken from the Burger King drive-thru. Maybe it was just where we were sitting (directly on the side of the stage) but the sound managed to be both ludicrously loud and muffled. Roth's vocals were often buried. Did Eddie replace the sound guy with his six-year-old nephew Timmy Van Halen?"
