I cant believe these days are gone away for good this world will never have times like this again, the last period of time when you had the best time you could possibly have and Van Halen was the very top band that you could ever have seen to have the time of your life, damn i miss those times and i can't believe they are gone for good, R.I.P. the greatest guitar slinger to ever strap on an axe, the Goat Mr. Eddie Van Halen.
People who grew up in the 50s said the same thing when the 60s happened. And when the 70s happened everyone said the same thing about the 60s. It's just evolution. Appreciate that it happened and move on. The good old days weren't always good, and tomorrow isn't as bad as it seems.
I hear ya where’s the time machine , 80s were just good times had by all. With great kick ass bands and concerts and great times . Nowadays definitely not even close. I’d go back in a flash if was possible!!!
@@richardmcgee8315 Have you heard of The Green Manalishi with the Two Pronged Crown? Making me feel things I don't wanna feel? I listened to Accept-Fast as a Shark...waiting 30 days to be discharged after Hanging myself in the latrine, It took 9 guys to get me down....what a fight that was!
@@richardmcgee8315 it has to do with me , what is your reaction? what should it be , confronted by this latest atrocity....Driven to Tears , The Police. It's a Dead Man's Party , who could ask for more? Any Questions? No Country for Old Men. Friendly Fascism. Achtung Baby.
I WAS THERE. They were the last band. David Lee Roth was drunk but they did a good show. It's a good memory, from a good year. KICK ASS ROCK & ROLL!!! ✌😎
I was also there and it was hot, this was not the best performance from VH I've seen them much better but The Scorpions, Judas Priest, frickin rocked everyone else was good and all and all a pretty good day. I don't think I could have handled all three days.
Yeah Dave shouldn't have drank all that jack kinda ruined some of the singing in this concert but Eddie and Alex and Michael without his awesome background vocals made it killer dam miss the 80's best time to be alive period ! ✌
What I always like about David lee Roth was he had a way of being flamboyant without looking gay doing it. Eddie was a true musician David was a rock star. Possibly the most talented rock band ever from top to bottom. Vocals. Instruments and energy. Loved growing up in the 70s and early 80s
I was one of the 350,000 people there for this show. It was AWESOME. I miss this Van Halen. I would never go see them now because Dave doesn't even make an effort to sing. Its disappointing. But I still play older VH in my car stereo and on my phone today! .
They were hi through out their heyday ,especially at this point in time. They had just completed their Diver Down tour and they were pretty much on vacation when they were asked to do this gig. Remember $1.7 million is what they supposably got paid just for that 90 minute gig. They earned their money that night and every other nights they played. Whether drunk,hungover, still high,they had steller talent all the way around
Nope, 46, was around to see VH's heyday. Van Halen is great, but David Lee Roth was a cheesy fucker. Running around and doing the splits has nothing to do with music. Also, go back and watch Jim Dandy of Black Oak Arkansas and you'll see where DLR got a lot of his on stage antics.
@@charlesryan427 you're insane. Doing splits?? He's a martial artist and u say it has nothing to do with music but it has everything to do with entertainment and the two go hand in hand. And ur 46 , I'm 53 and was there in their heyday, you were just a kid so STFU. He was the one who wanted stardom and wouldn't settle for less therefore he gave you Edward Van Halen. And I know he used to record Jim Dandy and Jim will tell you Dave had his own show. Fuckin karate kicks and pure kick-ass rock n roll partying!!!! Bitch
STFU? Nah. You seem to be awful upset that someone doesn't agree with your opinion about DLR. I don't need a tutorial on the ins and outs of rock and roll.
this is the best live performance of any song I've ever seen in my life. just fucking oozing cool and fun and sex. god... what lives they must have lived.
Eddies 28 here alex is older .They were playing same stuff but raw at school assembleys in 1972. Had shows when ed was 17 at local auditoriam where they charged 0.50c to get in with dlr amps
I’ve seen them many times prior to this and this performance is sloppy and far from good - 78-81 ( which I saw ) we’re the best tours. After that Dave became a clown and was just being an idiot , my fav band of all time but to say this is a great performance is just laughable :
When I saw him - awww cmon Dave gimme a break, Dave said one break, coming up! Dave then made a motion to break Eddies jaw it was funny the audience loved it!
Favorite song on WCF album. Top 3 songs live other 2 are Unchained & Ain’t Talking About Love. EVH you’re legacy will live on for generations. Thank you for your gift to all of us. RIP! We are going to miss you
@ Jerri Like David Lee Roth said, "It's rock'n roll music that you can actually dance to!" I saw them in 1982 at the Forum and it was mind blowing!! This song sounded just like I remember it...just a million times louder!
Thats how I remember them---loud and fun and full of energy. This is why I would never go see them now. I saw them when they were at their peak, and I don't want that memory soiled.
Amen! Good friend of mine asked me to go see them on their latest reunion tour I declined. I told him I have this memory of them from the FW & DD tour and that’s how I always want to remember VH.
What many don’t get about DLR vocals is he is a weird cross between a fire brimstone preacher and broadway stage actor with a dash of Rock n roll pixie dust
Just came from watching a DLR video from 2020 playing this song. After 2 minutes, I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to see the real stuff. Not the wreck he’s making of it now. Thank you, VH for the memories. This was a stellar production.
My kids being born, getting married..and being at Heavy Metal Day at the US festival...maybe not even in that order. Every band was great..or at least I remember it that way...
I cant believe these days are gone away for good this world will never have times like this again, the last period of time when you had the best time you could possibly have and Van Halen was the very top band that you could ever have seen to have the time of your life, damn i miss those times and i can't believe they are gone for good, R.I.P. the greatest guitar slinger to ever strap on an axe, the Goat Mr. Eddie Van Halen.
everything and everyone one in this life is temporary
YESSSSS!!!
Well I thank God - that regardless of whether or not we deserved to be so blessed, we were! And you're right - the greatest times EVER!
People who grew up in the 50s said the same thing when the 60s happened. And when the 70s happened everyone said the same thing about the 60s. It's just evolution. Appreciate that it happened and move on. The good old days weren't always good, and tomorrow isn't as bad as it seems.
@@pse888 I believe Jimmy, like the rest of us that were young then, is thanking god for being temporary at juuuuust the right time in history. 😳
Now THIS is Van Halen! Dave, Eddie, Michael, and Alex. One of the best rock bands ever!
The Original Van Halen in my opinion is best rock band EVER! Best live album ever?... Strangers in the Night ~ UFO
The pinnacle!
yes
The Real "Van Halen"🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊
Van halen needs a movie like motley crue got
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!! Wheres the 80s? This world we live in now is D..U..M..B Duuuuuumb!!!! LONG LIVE THE 80s!!!!!!!
I hear ya where’s the time machine , 80s were just good times had by all. With great kick ass bands and concerts and great times . Nowadays definitely not even close. I’d go back in a flash if was possible!!!
VH, best band ever!!!
YEAH!
I was there and I was 16 years old .... I want to go back !!!!
I’m 15 and I wish dearly that I were born in the 60’s or 70’s so that I could experience the 80’s.
When I think of Van Halen, THIS is what comes to mind !!!! These guys right here were the all time best band in Hard Rock history !!!!!!!!!!
Van Halen was good, but far from the best in RnR history, not by a long shot.
@@dvmartel1 hard rock
I was there...19 years old. 2 days later I was in the Army. Amazing memory. Thanx
Same here
Dude , I wasn't there...did go into the Army and Brother in Arms my name is "Ho-ward"...yes , way. check out the score I just posted.

The glory days of Van Halen...the best!
Not at this concert Dave was a boozed up wreck. The Night Belonged to The Scorpions!
My girl still weres my VH tshirt every night! Crazy great times!
@@jeffpeterson9698 that's why they broke up lol
@@kevinokelly6398 I know! Good times though!
For sure!!! I agree, 100%
Alex was a monster live drummer. Awesome!
I WAS THERE.
They were the last band.
David Lee Roth was drunk but they did a good show.
It's a good memory, from a good year.
KICK ASS ROCK & ROLL!!!
✌😎
How old are you now?
Dave was coked up...
@@philipdallmayr4729
So what?
What year smart ass?
@@ras124 83 san bernandino california ,hot summer 3 days festival
God I miss Eddie & the way he loved performing... that smile. 😥
Diamond Dave the artist and entertainer with a little A.D.D..
GOTTA LOVE IT..
A little? Hahaha!
A.D.D. + b.l.o.w. + w.h.i.s.k.e.y.
I was there suffering through the heat waiting for the last act-Van Halen.RIP Eddie
I was also there and it was hot, this was not the best performance from VH I've seen them much better but The Scorpions, Judas Priest, frickin rocked everyone else was good and all and all a pretty good day. I don't think I could have handled all three days.
Know the feeling
I was there for all three days and went back for the fourth day country
Yeah Dave shouldn't have drank all that jack kinda ruined some of the singing in this concert but Eddie and Alex and Michael without his awesome background vocals made it killer dam miss the 80's best time to be alive period ! ✌
That's a a Rock n Roll performance right there folks
Where is the rest of this show?
It's amazing to see Eddie making his guitar scream he always had it and always will 💯🤘
Please give props to Alex for having great part ideas, feel, pocket and sense of swing. I live that his dad’s jazz influence come’s through
My first concert in 1977 was Journey, Montrise and Van Halen. I fell in love that night, with concerts and with David Lee Roth. Lol. Good times.
What a better time it was. And better music. We all have to get hold and pay the piper. God bless us all.
What I always like about David lee Roth was he had a way of being flamboyant without looking gay doing it. Eddie was a true musician David was a rock star. Possibly the most talented rock band ever from top to bottom. Vocals. Instruments and energy. Loved growing up in the 70s and early 80s
I honestly don't think anyone else could be like Dave without seeming gay.
Yea David Lee Roth was the absolute best, unlike Someone like Paul Stanley that just looked gay
Dang right on!
david lee roth is gay thats why he never had a wife
Edward and Michael backup vocals are awesome
I like the way the line runs up the back of the stocking
Ridiculously powerful.
His karate kicks and attire nobody like Roth or Eddie love you always made my teens so much better Rock on!!
Rock N Roll Perfection
Roth was a showman I love him nobody ever was as cool as this dude and Eddie what a band!!
Perfect match
even though it's December 19,2019 but nobody makes a guitar scream like Mr. Eddie Van Halen
He’s no Justin Bieber!
19 december 2019 my father passed away
Edward!
And we're thankful no other screams a guitar like that.
SRV makes that guy sound like a rookie.
I do like Van Halen, I bought that debut album and rocked out. However, Jeff Beck is what Eddie Van Halen strives to be.
You go to a concert to see a good show and have fun......I think David was really "juiced" here and the fans loved it!
Hard to believe that Eddie is not with us anymore. Thank you for the music! We love you EVH
Dave! He's the best! He was doing a 3rd degree black belt kata from Gojo Ryu perfectly!
Yo the greatest band ever ! !!!! The mighty ,VAN HALEN !!
I was one of the 350,000 people there for this show. It was AWESOME. I miss this Van Halen. I would never go see them now because Dave doesn't even make an effort to sing. Its disappointing. But I still play older VH in my car stereo and on my phone today! .
I was sun burnt for a month !!!🔥
Man, I didn't appreciate these guys enough back in the day. I would have been awesome to see them in their hard drinking coked out days like this.
Best rock act ever!!!
Dave's Fu ked before the show begins yet still beings it! Lol. Doing Karate forms at the intro. Classic
They were hi through out their heyday ,especially at this point in time. They had just completed their Diver Down tour and they were pretty much on vacation when they were asked to do this gig.

Saw them at MSG for the 1984 tour, life was a party!
The best ever period!!!!! Thank,s to Edward Van Halen for everything
Alex is a criminally underrated drummer.
this is the best live performance of any song I've ever seen in my life. just fucking oozing cool and fun and sex. god... what lives they must have lived.
They were good church on Sunday family boys, while during the week they studied hard at school and did their homework at night...

Even when they were fucked up they kicked ass!My god Ed's tone!R.I.P King Edward you are the best!
The Ultimate R&R Band playing the Ultimate R&R Party song! 🔥
1983, the year metal was back on the map and bigger than ever before
Glad my dad got to live thru this era and was able to put me on at such a young age!
Big Fella Your Dad rocks! Be very thankful!
man dave was the man fucking awesome
I remember late 60s 70s 80s 90s 2000s lol
always Loved Eddie's fashion sense.
God dang how I wish I would've seen VH, Scorpions, Motley Crue , Ozzy , Quiet Riot and the mighty Triumph on that festival.
Judas Priest was there as well. I remember Hal riding the Harley onstage.
hell yeah brother! rock and roll!
Hank Williams Jr. was great too
Pablo Escobar and Jack Daniels handled the sponsorship...
HaHaHaHaHaHa Quoting David Lee Roth, When I Die Sprinkle My Ashes over the 80s.
I was there ….VH was at the height of their greatness
Come on Dave,give me a break. Back in the day nobody could touch this band. VH at its best!
Hey hey hey heyyy...One Break Comin Up!!!!
THE GREATEST
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME EVER PERIOD
When I saw him - awww cmon Dave gimme a break, Dave said one break, coming up! Dave then made a motion to break Eddies jaw it was funny the audience loved it!
That was unscripted the manager exec came in and Dave said those exact words to him and they left it in
Wow. If that doesnt give you chills down your spine. Your are Numb. Powerful intro and build. Even better in person. So glad i saw them in 84...
When asked which era I love most, DLR or Haggar fan. My answer is simple: The Eddie Van Halen era. Always. RIP, Legend.
I agree babydoll. But you have to admit. Diamond Dave had more of IT. You know what I'm saying? Never less. Top 5 bands of all time. Rock on
So simple, but one of the greatest of ALL time!!
I, was always in Love with Van Halen therefore there was no one else to fall in Love with PERIOD,End of Story!!!***😎👍🤠😁😁
Yep, I was there. Best day and night in rock n roll history!
Dave and Edward amazing!!
RIP EDDIE WE ALL LOVE YOU FOREVER
RIP Eddie Van Halen. Dead in 2020. Hero of mine.

A gem. I got shivers now. Dear God they were so good back then.
There were Rock bands and then there was VAN HALEN! The original band was the best!!
What a payday for them that night in that time! LONG LIVE VAN HALEN
Best time ever seeing Van Halen, Motley Crue when they had just came out to the scene!! This was Heavy Metal Sunday "1983" good times Rock and Roll
Eddie is one lucky son of a gun to have his brother Alex on drums. Amazing!
One of the Best bands lve ever seen live, at Maple Leaf Gardens, 80s, loud as hell.
Nothing puts a smile on my face like Edward and his tremolo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Heaven must have one hell of a band, here comes Eddie you guys, rock out🤘🏼🎸🎼
Alejandro Van Halen....!!!!!....the best
incredible
Fun to watch! They had a lot of energy! Miss you Eddie❤🎸❤
I believe in rock 'n roll!!!!!
In their Prime for sure!
I was there, they were so late getting on stage, David was drunk but a damn good show
I love Dave ! What a ham!
Yea..a drunk one..
Not just the music, just got to luv how they dressed back then
Man I got to see some great live bands in my day. I'm a lucky girl!!
@ Jerri Like David Lee Roth said, "It's rock'n roll music that you can actually dance to!" I saw them in 1982 at the Forum and it was mind blowing!! This song sounded just like I remember it...just a million times louder!
Untouchable
The US Festival II was hot 2 trot...i was there in 1983.....good times!!
The Amps are insane!
Vh always had a great show,not just the music but the huge drum sets,fake dummy cabinets etc
alex was always a underrated great drummer
That Alex Van Halen drum intro though wow 😮
Thats how I remember them---loud and fun and full of energy. This is why I would never go see them now. I saw them when they were at their peak, and I don't want that memory soiled.
Brian McCarthy amen
I agree. Saw them in the early 80's twice and prefer to remember them in their prime. No band was better in the early 80's.
Amen! Good friend of mine asked me to go see them on their latest reunion tour I declined. I told him I have this memory of them from the FW & DD tour and that’s how I always want to remember VH.
What many don’t get about DLR vocals is he is a weird cross between a fire brimstone preacher and broadway stage actor with a dash of Rock n roll pixie dust
600,000 rockers, 400,000 watts of power and the Mighty Van Halen. Oh what a day that was at the Us Festival.
RIP Eddie.
Shows you just how in tune Al & Ed was!
GUITAR GOD. EDWARD VAN HALEN
REST IN PEACE. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. SO SAD
😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Man that guitar screaming is great 👍🏻
Just amazing jaw dropping
They were awesome in their heyday, indeed.
DLR JUICED UP AND SLOPPY...LOVE HIM! VH FULL STEAM AHEAD FOREVER
The mighty Van Halen!!
Women and Children First. Me and my late brothers grew up loving this music. Good memories.
Absolutely awesome album every song
My first concert I was 10 years old
Love this song...

Dave is completely f’d up, and STILL the greatest front-man in Rock n roll!!
I agree with you 100% .
I love D.L.R. but don't think he sounds good here..seems off..
Alex n Eddie...great team
RIP Eddie. One of a kind.
The best ever !
4:30 pff EPIC! The Mighty Van Halen!
