MR

Who is going to the Detroit shows this Saturday(Joe Louis Arena) and Monday(Palace of Auburn Hills)? I will be at both shows and can not wait. Detroit will rock this weekend.

Sorry, I am going to the Sammy show at the Fox. I would like to go but I could only afford one or the other and I chose Sammy. I hope that any one that does go to the JLA or the Palace has a good time. I know that plenty of tickets are still available.

Fans, Van Halen regroup to party like it's 1984

They don’t make them like Van Halen anymore. We weren’t even sure if Van Halen made it like Van Halen anymore.

But on a Saturday night that had all the feel of an old-school rock night in Joe Louis Arena, the reunited group served up a sizzling, swaggering set that certainly felt as if the band had never lost a step.

Van Halen's concert at Joe Louis Arena Saturday night was everything a rock and roll show should be: Raucous, randy and a whole lot of fun.

That it came from Van Halen, reunited for the first time in more than two decades with original lead singer David Lee Roth, was even more miraculous: If these guys are still able to sound this good together, why haven't they been tearing up America's roadways for the last 20 years?

Maybe they needed the time away from each other to once again find their center. But by Saturday night, 12 shows into a reunion tour many thought would never happen, they had indeed found it, and gave a hard-rockin' Detroit crowd of 13,000 -- including actress (and Eddie Van Halen's ex-wife) Valerie Bertinelli, a surprise guest in the crowd -- a show they won't soon forget.
