I was fortunate enough to get a 4th row seat to this show, so I decided to try to sneak in a disposable camera to get some pictures. I thought about asking security if cameras were allowed (security seemed very lax at this venue) so I could possibly bring my good camera in. But I figured if the answer was "no" and I came back to the gate with a small bulge in my pocket (the disposable camera), it might look suspicious. So I just went in with the disposable in my pocket and had no trouble at all. They're not as good as the pictures you'll find at the official Van Halen website, but they came out fairly well considering it was a throw-away camera and it was rather dark.
