Van Halen affirmed Thursday its first tour with singer David Lee Roth in two decades grossed more than $93 million, a record for the rock band.

Van Halen played to nearly one million people during 74 arena shows throughout the United States and Canada, beginning Sept. 27 in Charlotte, N.C. and wrapping Tuesday in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Roth, who left the band in 1985, rejoined guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen. But it was not a reunion of the classic lineup, as the brothers replaced bass player Michael Anthony with Eddie's son Wolfgang, now 17.

The reunion was initially envisaged as a summer amphitheater tour, but the trek was put off when Eddie Van Halen entered rehab. Given the historic bad blood between Roth and the Van Halen brothers, and concerns about Eddie's health, there was plenty of skepticism about the tour's prospects.

But Eddie Van Halen, displaying a buff physique, appeared to have lost of his prowess, while Roth was in fine voice. The reviews were positive.// Reuters
