[MrMattyHaze]

Diamond Dave rules.. love how he skips half of the 2nd verse!

[Frankymontelo]

[TheCozybear65]

Finally.. Something that sounds half decent..everything else done live by Van Halen sounds like garbage, here on you tube..

[poelfrank]

So Fucking Loud and so Fucking Cool !!  who can compete??

[adonysdrift07]

one of most great video of Roth era...

amazing heavy sound !

thanks so much for posting this...

[murray7998]

hes so funny to watch a party band lol:)

[ricadrew]

The Vanhagar music is definetely great, but it doesn't even touch this!

[elgrandesnipe]

This is the best band ever love this band ;D

[drakehemlock]

They were the coolest band back then, no one could touch em in those days. I saw em in 1984 when i was 15, it blew my freakin mind, best concert I've ever seen.

[Thirdgen83]

This is SO much BETTER than the Sammy Hagar era of VH...

[quadralerium]

Interesting way of wearing suspenders. Insuring the spandex stays in place.

[supatones]

Flaming drums!!.. says it all

[fivehohopr]

[jamesmaro]

[jamesmaro]

[sal1115]

[deadsinktohell]

THAT is FUNNY: in the 80's in the 70's, EXACTLY! See, somebody gets it!

[kanemura93]

Man they're cool :) DAvid Lee Roth is the 80s during the 70s :)

[mrwilliamwonder]

This early clip shows the energy they had, each member giving it their all. Dave should use some type of custom auto tune for live shows. If he could sing the whole thing in tune live, it would really help. Eddie can play in his sleep.

[BBQkrewe]

and still comin' off like a CHAMP!!!

he was the key link to VH

[shawkme]

billy dreamer, not sure what your rambling or mentioning some random 80's hair metal band was about, but either way, the "show" should include some degree of professionalism, every night when it comes to singing. eddie and michael did their parts and i'm sure they would appreciate the same from their lead singer. looks to me, by your comments, that you worship at the alter of roth, a little too much. you may wanna get off your knees now. ;)

[ustolminame]

I agree with you; there's a video where Eddie and Alex talk about David Lee Roth and that's says everything. That's the major problem with DLR: selffish, the guys only thinks about himself. On CD, I really appreciated the albums with roth voice, but when it came to live, Hagar seemed to put more fun in the band.

[shawkme]

would have been nice if roth had REALLY delivered the goods, by singing all the lyrics.

[BillyDreamer2]

REALLY? Dave is not about lyrics, listen to the album if that is what you want. Dave is about the show. Dancing, prancing and preening. Cock of the walk. Putting his junk in your girlfriends face during Bottom's Up, who you just paid top dollar for the front row to take her to the concert, only to have her leave you for a bowl of non brown M&Ms and a tea bag from Dave. Don't you have a Poison album to listen to?

[spacewalker1551]

Hey Guys - Hey Anybody can have a said in this. Its just a thought and a question. Anyway - in the past years; What band as always been there for their fans on mater their problems. I vote: British Steel - Judas Priest. What do You say. Come on!

[metalmark2112]

bass is way too high in the mix during ed's solo

[hay0506]

who the fuck are you to say that, your nothing compared to him.

[Gibson0918]

Hes just making an observation about the mix he isn't saying anything about the playing....

[bsouthe]

THE GREATEST LIVE BAND EVER!!!!!

[horrormeh]

This is the Van Halen I remember, awesome video!

[HymanskiRothstien]

Wierd - the music is def. live but its not from the same performance being shown on the video - watch Al's fills.

[freaxxx]

quite typical for older live vids. the video is usually composed from two shows... watch some old led zeppelin stuff, on this best of live dvd the producers simply cut some good looking scenes together xD...

[souljaEXVOTO]

OKAAAAAY ?!!
