You nailed it 321moe! Halen ceased to exist after '84. The old Diamond Dave was rock: fifths of Jack, eight balls of blow, and rooms filled with hot groupies...That is the VH I'll remember. Maybe they all should hit the bottle again.
Wayy better now then the 80's he was too loaded in the 80's 8 outta ten shows he did he was absolutly bombed and the ones he wasn't he was coming off something...totally sober and healthy now better then ever
i dont care. sure dave has a little bit of a tough time hitting the high notes these days, but you can tell hes making an effort. thats all i care about. if he misses a note, it wont bother me. all i know is im seeing the greatest band in the universe play their best songs they ever wrote..
lol, its true, its funny that all the fanboys are giving you bad repsonses for the truth, they can't handle Eddie killing his own stuff. "He's still the king" ;) The best parts of this are Alex's drumming and the fact that Dave sounds as good as ever
even though the original song has no guitar at all but the solo, i don't like what eddie plays here. it just sounds bad. maybe this was one song they should have left out of the set list or eddie could have played the keyboard live.
321moe you couldn't have said it any better about Sammy!! I always thought Sammy was just a screamer and that's all, no dynamics, no feel, nothing, just a noice!! In fact all these Sammy lovers whole bag Dave's singing is music to my ears. It's proof they know nothing about the VH style or rock music in general. I always thought Sam was a clown, now it's official he's Ronald McDonald!!
Difficult song to play live....always sounded bad from way back!!! Ed should maybe back off a bit on the guitar and let the synth harmony do the work...he was probably trying to fill it out!!! best left off the live set...Eddie would rage if he heard this!!!
Sammy was the better singer. Dave was a great entertainer. Now he looks old and barely moves onstage. Where are those high-kick moves? Perhaps he´s too old for that. And Eddie's playing is a pale shadow of what it once was.

I like Dave better too. I am not sure why. I think he has a more comfortable stage presence.

If Eddie would stop picking over the vocals, this would actually sound pretty good.
And Dave is the one with the huge ego.

I think he took vocal lessons for this tour! He drank to much back in the 80's!
sammy the best....
He's much better a performer than Sammy is!

This solo is sad....... Ed needs to break out that old 1984/tape,and listen to how,( he used to play it )....
pathetic ?......as they've announced a new studio album, we gonna see what happened in terms of creativity with that band.....

Whit Sammy and Michael is better
