Van Halen last played Denver in February 2008 on a reunion tour that also featured Roth and stopped into the Pepsi Center. Our review from that show mentioned: “This was the reunion most true Van Halen fans had been waiting for. The mostly original lineup didn’t disappoint, carrying through with each of the band’s signature moves and famous songs – and looking oddly happy while doing it.”
