The Slamfest Podcast brings the premier rock concert pregaming experience from the parking lot to the podcasting airwaves. 

Episode 231 - Brad saw Van Halen and Kool & the Gang on 2/20/12 at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, MI.  He welcomes Slamfest Crew Members, Andy and Craig, back to the podcast to recap this tour.  Craig saw them at the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO on 5/24/12 and Andy saw them three nights later at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV on 5/27/12.   For the Band on the Bill Spotlight, they rank Van Halen's eight cover songs from the DLR-era and they rank Van Halen's twelve instrumentals, minus Eruption from the self-titled debut and Baluchitherium from Balance.   After a Slamfest Tip of the Week, they are faced with a "Which Side are you On?", side 1 or side 2 from Van Halen's twelfth studio album, A Different Kind of Truth, from 2012.
