FIRST VAN HALEN APPEARANCE IN RENO SINCE 1992!
Due to overwhelming fan demand, VAN HALEN announced today that they will add Reno, Nevada to their critically acclaimed North American concert tour, bringing fans one of the most successful concert tours in recent memory.
Music fans and the press have responded to VAN HALEN's 2007/2008 tour with passionate fanfare. "For more than two hours, the gods delivered," said Rolling Stone. Playboy magazine recently awarded VAN HALEN as Best Live Act of 2007 in its annual Music Poll in the March 2008 issue.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, the band has always been known for their electrifying live shows. From the moment they released their self-titled 1978 debut album, VAN HALEN shook the foundations of rock, thanks largely to Roth's peerless showmanship, Eddie Van Halen's revolutionary guitar virtuosity and their songwriting abilities. Their music has changed rock and roll forever.

About Tiger Jam and the Tiger Woods FoundationSince its creation in 1998, Tiger Jam has raised more than $11 million for the Tiger Woods Foundation and select Las Vegas based charities through its sold-out performances and one-of-a-kind auction items. Tiger Jam was created by the Tiger Woods Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering young people to reach their maximum potential. Proceeds from previous Tiger Jams have supported Child Haven, Center for Independent Living, Greater Las Vegas Inner City Games, Boys & Girls Club of Las Vegas, GRAMMY in the Schools and The VH1 Save the Music Foundation.
Since its inception in 1996 by Tiger Woods and his father Earl, the Tiger Woods Foundation has reached an estimated 10 million young people through character development, career exploration, scholarships and grant making programs. Programs developed and supported by the Tiger Woods Foundation all share a similar mission of empowering young people to dream big and to set specific goals to achieve their dreams. Specific programs of the Foundation include the Tiger Woods Learning Center, a youth-education facility and curriculum based in Anaheim, California that will soon expand to Washington, D.C., and Tiger's Action Plan, a nationwide character development program based on Earl D. Woods' book entitled Start Something. The Tiger Woods Foundation recently launched the Fist Pump Challenge, an online program allowing young people to post videos celebrating a personal goal or achievement.

I wonder whether Van Halen still jumps about as he used to. Mind you Mick Jagger still does and he is 60-odd. Van Halen are great.
Sad to say, but I don't think Eddie can jump around that much- he's had some knee problems. But perhaps I'll hear otherwise from readers who have caught the recent Halen concerts. Anything to report?? And yes, Halen still rocks!
