Van Halen - Opening night- Charlotte!

October 8th, 2007 by Ilaa Admin

Opening night…..woohoo! Met our awesome group, got them signed in and gave everyone their laminates. Then it was off to the merch stand where someone from guest services and helpers were waiting. About 75% of the group were signed in and at the merch stand, when VH started soundcheck! We enjoyed the private audio soundcheck while walking down the arena stairs….The party was in the Backcourt Restaurant, located right at the end of the dressing room hallway! Great location and room….and everyone was able to listen to soundcheck from the room…..Once soundcheck was done, I started the backstage tours. We did 3 tours tonight. The first group was walking by Wolfgang’s tech world when he rounded the corner, said hello to everyone and gave out a few guitar picks. Everyone loved it! Then we circled around behind the stage to Eddie’s guitar world, where Eddie was going over things with his tech. Some folks yelled out their well wishes for opening night!…..At the end of the night we received a lot of compliments about the program and that they really enjoyed the party and tours, and especially the seats! Not a bad seat inside the ramp!! And, last but not least, what a show!

Show #2, here we come!
