Kiss<\/a> with special guest David Lee Roth<\/a> launched their 2020 arena tour on Sunday night at the SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

Roth played a truncated version the show he debuted in Las Vegas last month, including a rendition of \u201cPanama,\u201d one of seven Van Halen<\/a> classics in the eight-song set. The lone solo cut was his 1987 hit \u201cJust Like Paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kiss stuck mostly to their hits as well and didn\u2019t vary the set much from last year, although they did break out \u201cTears are Falling\u201d for the first time since 2014 and \u201cParasite\u201d for the first time since 2015. The encore began with drummer Eric Singer performing \u201cBeth\u201d on the piano, a move they\u2019ve done many times over the years.<\/p>\n

This tour is Roth\u2019s first time playing big venues since Van Halen last hit the road in 2015. The Van Halen brothers have virtually vanished from public life since that tour wrapped. That situation prompted Roth to hit the road for his first solo tour since rejoining the group in 2007.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve inherited the band, de facto, whatever that means,\u201d Roth said late last year.<\/a> \u201cI think it means, you\u2019ve inherited it, carry this proudly. Van Halen isn\u2019t going to be coming back in the fashion that you know. And, that being said, Eddie\u2019s got his own story to tell \u2014 not mine to tell it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, fans of the Sammy Hagar period of Van Halen will have a chance to hear songs from his time fronting the band when he tours this summer on a bill with Whitesnake and Night Ranger. Former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony plays in Hagar\u2019s band, meaning that basically every member of the group past and present will be playing Van Halen songs on tour this year besides those with the last name \u201cVan Halen.\u201d<\/p>\n
