Summer Tour 2004 (Van Halen)

The Summer Tour 2004 marked the highly anticipated reunion of Van Halen with original vocalist David Lee Roth, ending a 12-year absence. It was the band's first tour with Roth since their highly successful 1984 tour. This tour featured the classic lineup of Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony.

The tour was a significant commercial success, selling out venues across North America. The setlists primarily consisted of classic Van Halen hits from the Roth era, including "Jump," "Panama," "Hot for Teacher," and "You Really Got Me." Some shows included extended versions of songs and instrumental showcases from Eddie Van Halen.

Despite the tour's success, it was plagued by tensions and disagreements within the band, particularly between Roth and Eddie Van Halen. These conflicts ultimately contributed to the band's decision not to continue with Roth after the tour's conclusion. This tour represented a brief but memorable return to form for the iconic lineup, and is a significant event in Van Halen's history. Michael Anthony's participation would later be a source of contention, as his replacement by Eddie's son Wolfgang would become a permanent fixture of the band's lineup after this tour.
