Well, color me surprised. Every review we’ve read said Diamond Dave and the boys played a rocking show at the AAC on Saturday night, and based on the traffic around the area, it seems like they were a pretty popular bet, even with high ticket prices…
As someone pointed out over e-mail after we posted Thursday’s Flight Plan, I claimed spending the cash on tickets was a “waste.” Half of that is due to the fact that all the other sources for entertainment that weekend in the Flight Plan could be combined together and the tickets wouldn’t cost as much as a single ticket to Van Halen…and half because, in the past, there have been plenty of rip-off, one-off, last-chance reunion tours that didn’t deliver.
Am I eating crow now that they had a good show? Maybe. We’ll see if there are still good reviews when Van Halen returns to the AAC to take even more money in March.
Curious about the title? It’s a palindrome by Edward Wolpow.
