Page "Van Halen" Paragraph 68

Despite an average ticket price of approximately $ 150, Van Halen's " A Different Kind of Truth Tour " proved to be a commercial success as well, with nearly all U. S. arena shows " either sold-out, or close to it.

" Critically, the band received mostly positive reviews, particularly when performing throughout the U. S. Northeast ( during February and March 2012-the Toronto Show was a particular highlight ) and West Coast ( during May and June 2012 ).

R & B legends Kool and the Gang were hand-picked by frontman David Lee Roth to open the first two legs of Van Halen's tour-a decision that seemed baffling at first, but ultimately proved to be successful.
