See Van Halen's set list and Dave's new "public relations" video

***UPDATE: Van Halen just issued a video Sunday morning coyly titled "Public Relations," which addresses the rumors of infighting and reasons for their tour cancellations. The clip was filmed "in the woods just north of Minneapolis" on Saturday morning, according to David Lee Roth, who's shown with one of his dogs looking like he's about to chop down a tree. He says "the band is getting along famously, better than we have in quite some time." He points to live footage from the shows for proof. Last night's smiley, pally show certainly supported those claims, unless you believe Dave and Eddie are secretly great actors.

The reason for calling off so many dates, Roth claims, was because of "unnecessary roughness." He says, "We bit off way more than we can chew based on scheduling," and he adds that they want to avoid it turning into the "robot zombie tour." He promises the tour will continue later. See the clip below and let us know what you think: Do you buy it?

The full review of Saturday's two-hour performance is now online here. Aside from the four songs off the new album, nearly all of the songs heard at Xcel Energy Center on Saturday were also in Van Halen's set list at Target Center in 2007. And I don't think too many fans were dying to hear "Women in Love" (off of "Van Halen II"). The inclusion of "And the Cradle Will Rock" was a pleasant surprise, given that it doesn't appear to have been played on any other dates on the current tour.

Here's Saturday's entire song list:

Unchained / Runnin' With the Devil / She's the Woman / Romeo Delight / Tattoo / Everybody Wants Some / Somebody Get Me a Doctor / China Town / Hear About It Later / Oh, Pretty Woman / Alex's drum solo / You Really Got Me / The Trouble with Never / Dance the Night Away / I'll Wait / And the Cradle Will Rock / Hot for Teacher / Women In Love / Beautiful Girls / Ice Cream Man / Panama / Eddie's guitar solo / Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love ENCORE: Jump
