VAN HALEN Perform Friends And Family Dress Rehearsal At Los Angeles Forum; Video Available
February 9, 2012, 12 years ago
VAN HALEN performed a dress rehearsal for friends and family at the Los Angeles Forum last night (February 8th). It was to be a secret show but it was one of the worst kept secrets as thousands attended the show. Below is the opening number, the band's classic KINKS cover 'You Really Got Me':
According to Billboard.com, Van Halen might be on its way to a sixth career No. 1 album on the US Billboard 200 chart - unless ADELE's 21 stands in the veteran band's way.
Industry sources suggest that Van Halen's A Different Kind of Truth may sell about 180,000 to 200,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, February 12. Under normal circumstances, that would be enough for the recently-signed Interscope act to bump Queen Adele from the top slot.
However, this isn't a normal week. The 54th Grammy Awards take place on February 12, at 8-11:30 PM on CBS - where Adele is scheduled to perform. The artist is nominated for six Grammys this year, and the performance will mark her first since undergoing surgery last year on her vocal chords. Further, Adele will sit down with Anderson Cooper for an interview on CBS' 60 Minutes immediately before the Grammys.
