I like both Sammy and Dave with Van Halen.... but I can really appreciate Dave pouring his guts out on this performance. It was awesome to see him perform these songs. I could really feel him on these tunes. Fuck. what he's 56. Kick ass Diamond Dave. I'm not a huge Van Halen fan. I think is sucks that Michael Anthony is missing, but I truly enjoyed this performance. Thanks for the post.
for a real van halen fan is a must to see Dave come back !! i dont care if it's for money or other things.. the time run so fast , maybe will be last time.. so let's taste this spècial Van halen flavour !!
I have to say,i saw them on the Different Kind of Truth tour at the Tacoma dome and it was amazing. I don't care what you people say, Roth can still sing.
I saw them in Toronto Mar 18! Had excellent seats! When he played Eruption he brought the house down! I have always been a VH lover and especially Eddie. You can diss him all you like. He's the best guitarist in the WORLD! I love him! He inspired me to pick up my guiitar in the first place!
What they did in the past was a great thing musically, and reliving a great thing is all they are doing. They aren't hurting anybody. And Eddy is an amazing talent. Period. (Bet you couldn't do all that on guitar, ever! and make it sound like he did back then! And you're gripin' because he can't sound like he did then now. How silly! Chill, chill.
Nick, thanks for writing back. I bet you did have a blast, would liked to have seen it just for the nostalgic ride if anything. But all I have really is this video post to go by. VanHalen is a legendary band and I love the music. It just didnt seem very close to their usual musical standards which were always in the past quite mind blowing. They at least could have used an Autotune program. If it could actually even line up the vocals due to thier being so "off" Glad you have fun Nick...Rich.
To all you VH haters: News Flash-> You gonna grow old too. And it will most likely never matter.... These guys are more than rock - they are living legends. Count you lucky stars you were able to witness a live VH concert. I appreciate the fact they are still willing to work their butts off for their die hard fans...
I am sure if Hendrix was still around or Bon Scott, and they did not have the same chops they had 40 years ago, we'd still have a lot of respect and appreciation for them.
Got back @3 a.m. this morning from my favorite band of all time, Van Halen, live in Dallas.They were great, and it was well worth the money, just wished my el cheapo video camara wouldn't have petered out. There set list was a little different from the Boston show, where as we didn't get "Hear about it later", we got to hear one of my favorites, "Women in Love"! Yeah Dave can't sing as good as he used to, BUT,SO WHAT! VH STILL ROCKS!!
Let's not forget that there is a slight delay in the sound and that is probably due to the sound being recorded separately, which was a somewhat marginal quality. In regards to the quality of performance, these guys are getting older and are pedaling as fast as they can...lol!
It's not the entire show. They've played 24 songs every night of the tour. Boston was espeically awesome because Hang Em High was played for the first time in 29 years.
Fan since the 70's. the band is no doubt getting older. But for their age and all the drugs and drinking they did... It's good to see them in stage and able to entertain. It is different with out Michael and you can clearly see the chemistry between Eddie and Dave is purely business and that's sad, but they still bring a crowd to standing ovation. And that says something.
I came to say some things. I like Van Halen with David Lee Roth. I like Van Halen with Sammy Hager. Hell, I like Van Halen with Gary Cherone. They're all awesome in their own ways. David is, and was one of the best showmen in the world. And, before 1991, he could actually sing well. Sammy Hager could actually sing really well, and could play guitar pretty well. Fuck this "war", because they're all good. And, I was at that concert. I laughed my ass off at Dave's story at "you really got me."
Why were these the top comments??? The sound sux, but that's just the case sometimes with these concert vids. Don't be so hard on them! They have done so many drugs in their collective past I'm surprised they can even stand up, let alone perform! This is something they did and they have the right to make some money off this. THey are reliving their moments and if it inspires them to write more, they will, just chill!
I saw this same tour in Jacksonville, FL and it was a sad sight to see. David wouldn't stop dancing and doing karate moves on stage. Also he sounds so off now.
You are so right and it makes my heart bleed as well , I have given the new album plenty of time but i gotta bin it now, I dont want to get into the Dave or Sammy debate all i can say is when i saw them years ago Hagar was OUTSTANDING , I actually think there is no way back now for them , having cancelled dates in the US and no Euro tour ....Last one out turn off the lights....
Give the Roth slamming a rest. His vocals are as good as ever (he was never known for his vocals, anyway); his stage moves aren't as acrobatic as they once were, but, come on, the man is almost 60. As far as I'm concerned, he's still got the glow of the world's best rock front man, and there's nothing more vaudeville than 80's glam rock to begin with.
NEXT LIVE VIDEO: LIVE WITHOUT DEPENDS! Filmed at New Yorks premier nursing home, Pleasant Valley Seniors Home. David hasen't missed a step in his wheelchair and Eddie is still a great needle point artist. We have grounded his guitar so he won't be shocked while he drools uncontrolably. We are sorry Alex could no longer contribute due to his colostomy bag interfering with his range of motion. Catch them live on the HISTORY CHANNEL!!
Are all the DLR fans disappointed/upset/pissed at him because of this tour and his performance? A lot of them thought they were getting their DIAMOND DAVE back,but didn't...
D.L. Roth is the same in 2015 as he was in here in 2012! some tracks he does well on and some not so well! Dance The Night Away seems to be a struggle or just being sung in higher notes not really needed during the 1st 2 verses! Song overall passes because of the band itself!
I'm glad I went to see Steel Panther last year instead of this. They are the best band in the world these days, for this style of music(80's glam rock?) and stage performance.
I honestly can't believe that people are calling this awful. The ONLY negative is that Dave is sounding rough. I could give a fuck less. I don't go to VH concerts to listen to vocals. VH could have a chimpanzee on a stool as their frontman & I'd still go see them. Why? Because the Ed-Al-Wolf combination is untouchable. I was at this show & it was fucking stellar. And what you don't see on this video is the fact that at this show they played Hang Em High for the first time in TWENTY NINE YEARS.
Dave is sick or simply aged so fast? this is the question... for the rest i like the new 2012 album for the great sound and no more Van hagar hit !! We'll see what happen in the next future after the stop of tour...
Hey everybody...these guys are dealing with getting older and it's not easy nor is the public easy on stars when this happens. Give them a break...at least they are beginning to look healthy again.
I'm a DLR lover too! VH without him sucks! Michael Anthony isn't anymore and got replaced with Wolfie. Wolfie is just startiing to come into his own. Can you imagine what he will be like in another 5 years especially with the Van Halen genes he possesses? Running with Devil! One of the best songs!
Many out there can play what he plays. Like him if you want. I will listen to quality guitarists. May I ask what you mean by his tone changing? The true meaning of the word awesome is great fear. I do not fear nor like him. He came out with a so so guitar solo on the first lp. (Eruption) But any quality guitarist can play it with ease. You want a great guitarist that can play circles around Eddie? Try the guitar teacher of the greats. Joe Satrianni for just one of numerous examples.
I don't think so... His tone has changed during the years, and his was different in every album.... You have to admit that the guy is an awesome guitar player...

All you naysayers. I love VH! I don't care what you say. I have loved them for 25 years and will never quit! No accounting for peoples tastes!

I was at this show...The crowd was rockin, it was a great show.....
The crowd was electric in Boston!!! Top 3 VH shows Eva......
I was there, it was damn good.....
Great job recording this! Van Halen is on fire sounding great!
I was there that night!!!:)
VAN HALEN RULES WITH DAVID LEE ON VOCALS MAN!
Dave: "Sammy might have to sing my songs (with VH), but I will never have to sing one of his!"
was at that concert for my second time first was with gary never seen them with dave it was totally awesome
Dave does not have the voice that had in the past. But what remains of him is always infinitely higher than Hagar & Co..
I saw them in Toronto Mar 18! Had excellent seats! When he played Eruption he brought the house down! I have always been a VH lover and especially Eddie. You can diss him all you like. He's the best guitarist in the WORLD! I love him! He inspired me to pick up my guiitar in the first place!

Oh, I just love the close ups of Eddie, especially with the cool yellow & black charvel during Tattoo. Thanks for uploading and filming.

These guys are more than rock - they are living legends. Count you lucky stars you were able to witness a live VH concert. I appreciate the fact they are still willing to work their butts off for their die hard fans...
Lest we forget, bands with most of the original lineup who are physically able to tour are a rare & underappreciated commodity...
I was there...It was a magical night!!!
I am sure if Hendrix was still around or Bon Scott, and they did not have the same chops they had 40 years ago, we'd still have a lot of respect and appreciation for them.
No problem....use my footage anytime you want and take credit for it..

please guys... they aren't sounding THAT bad...
Van Halen is like crack to me. Im a VanHalenHead and I cant get enough.!!!!!!
grate live !
looking forward to come japan !
can't wait !
Shaken, but not stirred! Welcome back Eddie, in all your glory!!!
It's an EVH Wolfgang. EVH is Eddie's own brand of guitars and amps, which are manufactured by fender.
love the stealth...glad to see ed does too
Holy shit, you're ALIVE!??
Amazing you survived the woods with Lucicidiot!!
Even if eruption and any other solo from Van Halen didn't exist, I still would appreciate Eds work. Guitar is not only technical, I know it.
All the footage thats from the left side is shot by me...videoguy forgot to give credit to the two guys that actually shot it....no idea why.
Let's not forget that there is a slight delay in the sound and that is probably due to the sound being recorded separately, which was a somewhat marginal quality. In regards to the quality of performance, these guys are getting older and are pedaling as fast as they can...lol!

this was my first concert
I would be to late.....YOU already beat me to it!
Roth hit his peak with "A little ain't enough".....

I will not lie to cover my mistakes. Never realized I was typing his name wrong. Thanks
I saw this same tour in Jacksonville, FL and it was a sad sight to see. David wouldn't stop dancing and doing karate moves on stage. Also he sounds so off now.
You are so right and it makes my heart bleed as well , I have given the new album plenty of time but i gotta bin it now, I dont want to get into the Dave or Sammy debate all i can say is when i saw them years ago Hagar was OUTSTANDING , I actually think there is no way back now for them , having cancelled dates in the US and no Euro tour ....Last one out turn off the lights....
In total agreement.
ya didn't get what you wanted ? 1979 .......2012.. Eddie's killing it.. they sound great
Wonder if they are gonna make a DVD this tour.
It's great to see them play I'll Wait - who is playing keyboards?
That much I will give Eddie credit for, and yes I agree.
i was there!

Damn, wish I was home for this show !!!!! My one issue is Ed looking like he's living in Florida and retired !!!!!
Are all the DLR fans disappointed/upset/pissed at him because of this tour and his performance? A lot of them thought they were getting their DIAMOND DAVE back,but didn't...

it sounds much better later in their tour i was at the Honda center and they sounded good, but on
video the sound is weird
Damn, I love that stealth black evh wolfgang he is playing.
I'm glad I went to see Steel Panther last year instead of this. They are the best band in the world these days, for this style of music(80's glam rock?) and stage performance.
Its' RnR not a classical performance. Mistakes and missed notes welcome, all about the vibe \m/
Spinal Tap doing a VH tribute concert, cool!
I didn't know that Pugsly, from the Adams Family, played the bass??? LOOOOOOOOOL !!
Ladies, and Gentlemen !!!! Wolf Van Hamburger, on bass !!!! loooooooooooooooooooool !!!!!
I honestly can't believe that people are calling this awful. The ONLY negative is that Dave is sounding rough. I could give a fuck less. I don't go to VH concerts to listen to vocals.

It's a kill switch. It's a shame it doesn't work on Roth's mic too.
Dave,Sammy, Eddie......? Who was that then....name them all....if you know them all?
Where's the rest of the show?
Who would you suggest? Personally, I thought the only person arrogant enough (in his day) was the guy from Bulletboys. Ha!
Agreed sounds a lot better without that headset, still reminds me of Steve Martin though.
Prob a killswitch to prevent feedback between songs.
Hey your on to something the Last Stand Tour! lmaoooo
Was something broken on Wolfgang's bass guitar?
seriously they should hire michael starr from steel panther ..that would be sick
i love david more this way
Dave is sick or simply aged so fast? this is the question... for the rest i like the new 2012 album for the great sound and no more Van hagar hit !!
We'll see what happen in the next future after the stop of tour...
Hey everybody...these guys are dealing with getting older and it's not easy nor is the public easy on stars when this happens. Give them a break...at least they are beginning to look healthy again.
THE SOUND IS KIND OS DIFFERENT BUT THEY STILL. ROCK/...
i def wish Michael Anthony was with them though for his backing vocals.
well.. thats the way he always sang back in the day too
,HE'S great ,but you couldnt always sing along because he sings them different live
Nice of you to use some of my footage to claim as your own.
I'm a DLR lover too! VH without him sucks! Michael Anthony isn't anymore and got replaced with Wolfie. Wolfie is just startiing to come into his own. Can you imagine what he will be like in another 5 years especially with the Van Halen genes he possesses?
Running with Devil! One of the best songs!
When did Dr. Frazier Crane start fronting Van Halen?
Guitar used??
The more I see Roth the more I'm convinced he wants to be a pole dancer with the Chippendale Dancers.
Do you want me to transcribe it?
Lets not even talk about Wolfgang's heartless bass playing and Justin Bieberish backup vocals.
Just because you may hate this doesn't mean you're not a true VH fan...
I think you were there to watch dave strut his stuff. I think you wish you could have made a gay flick with him.
Diamond DUD !!!
Excellent comment ~ We WANT Sammy back!!!!
If not for Eddies basic licks now I would be at the ticket window wanting my money back. This would be torture to witness
Not keen on the Foos then ?
Many out there can play what he plays. Like him if you want. I will listen to quality guitarists. May I ask what you mean by his tone changing? The true meaning of the word awesome is great fear. I do not fear nor like him. He came out with a so so guitar solo on the first lp. (Eruption) But any quality guitarist can play it with ease. You want a great guitarist that can play circles around Eddie? Try the guitar teacher of the greats. Joe Satrianni for just one of numerous examples.
When thë fuck did they come to Boston?? FML
Not bad considering you robbed my footage...good job!
I didn't realize that Robin Williams had a brother that could sing....
; )
Nice of you to NOT give credit to the guys that actually recorded it.
Who was that???
wow , no more Hagar songs !!!!!!!!!!!
its not some guy its eddies son wolfgang on bass. and i agree daves singing isnt close to comparing to what he was but man they're getting old.
I don't think so... His tone has changed during the years, and his was different in every album.... You have to admit that the guy is an awesome guitar player...
Is this a warning or an announcement? lol
