Loved the rodeos I've been to.

According to Rolling Stone they are fighting and cannot seem to get along.

Never saw THAT coming.

It was a pretty good show. Eddie rocked. Dave was hard to hear at times. Overall, good show for me. I enjoyed it.

It would have been more convincing if the occupant of one of the other three tour buses had stopped and participated, but I believe this.  More reliable than RS' "unnamed source close to the band".  Just haven't seen the indications of infighting or bad shows.

Good clip.  I haven't kept up with this at all but VH has so many personal connections for me it's crazy.  Maybe I do need to see this show.  But then I remember the disaster that Eddie created at the last show I saw.  Too scared to go back.

Rest assured, ed is straight and playing better than 2007 by a long shot (didn't catch a 2007 show but heard a couple boots).  And remarkably mobile considering all the orthopedics work.  I'm glad I went.  Probably better than my last show (right here right now w/Sammy, 1992 or so).  Dave's 80% of his old self singing and mobility wise, but by no means in robert plant (decrepit) territory.

Well that's cool. Shame on RS for trying to create false rumors.

They're just doing their thing, you know.  Could be they got bum info from a peeved venue booker/promoter having to work on a reschedule.  I think they largely try to publish the truth on band news.  their political guy Taibbe on the other hand . . . . . . .
