"David Lee Roth kicked off his 2026 North American solo tour in Spokane, Washington, performing a set primarily made up of Van Halen classics. Out of 17 songs, 15 of them were from his Van Halen tenure, with the only two others being an untitled acoustic blues piece and a surprising cover of Billy Joel's 'New York State of Mind.'"
"While Diamond Dave may not be able to hit the notes he once hit in his prime, his backing band sounds in fine form, nearly living up to the high bar of the original Van Halen."
David Lee Roth launched his 2026 North American solo tour in Spokane, performing 15 Van Halen songs out of 17. The set included an acoustic blues piece and a cover of Billy Joel's 'New York State of Mind.' Roth's performance of 'Panama' featured a dramatic monologue style, while his backing band delivered strong support. Although Roth's vocal range has diminished, the band nearly matched the original Van Halen's high standards. The tour includes multiple dates across various cities in the U.S. and Canada.
