Van Halen earned rave reviews for their first night at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, and the band brought it again on Thursday.
VH switched up the setlist a bit, opening with their 1981 classic “Unchained,” marking the first time this tour that the show hasn’t opened with their Kinks’ cover of “You Really Got Me.”
With some rare, classic album cuts making random appearances during the first half dozen shows so far, VH did it again for night 2 in NYC, dusting off the "Diver Down" track “The Full Bug.”
VH’s road trip in support of “A Different Kind Of Truth” continues with shows next week in Philadelphia (5) and Buffalo (9).
