Van Halen - Romeo Delight 10/1/07

[dannymalone1000]

was at this concert. Was so loud it was unbelievable

[dyno1316]

Yea go and compered to 1984 tour.

[joedinaadi]

yea that would be pretty dam awesome ..kids a millionaire

[niteman24]

Still sound great after all these years. Wolfgang is cool. Kid is amazing. How awesome would it be to jam with your dad in front of sold out arenas? I could take bass lessons from him.

[leehr777]

roth's voice is gone.

[antsdick]

yep he talks. Ants

[blakea1790]

He's to young and to inexperienced for this level. Why would you put a 16 year old in this situation. Wasnt Jenny Craig Hiring?

[VHfan4life24]

Wolf doesnt suck, this was only the 3rd show in the tour, i was there, he didnt seem real comfortable at this concert but when i saw them 1 month later in D.C. he was much better. He just wasnt comfortable here, and if you were 16 playing in front of 20,000+ people, you wouldnt be too comfortable either. Give the kid a break.

[longlivethe80s]

I'd have to say that this is the BEST clip I've seen from the tour......awsome job man!

[ZYVZX]

Van Halen are giants in a field of midgets-

even this obscure, unknown, unpromoted tune

kicks so much ass and has so much compositional class over all their past, and

present competition. You think My Chemical

romance, Falloutboy or linkin park could even come up with something so catchy and

have so much murderous bluesy riffage?

Bahahahaahaahaha!

[dnew2112]

Wolfie Sux!!!Might as well have Nikki Sixx playing,can't hear either one them.Bring back Michael Anthony!!!!

[localhand]

Ernie Ball

[howieeeee503]

try 33 years later!!! they will be ripping shit up for another 10 years i bet! i saw them in portland and at times i thought i was listening to the cd they were so good!!

[jefflawdawg]

Saw VH in Detroit 10/20 and this song and Everybody Wants Some! absolutely ROCKED! Eddie is unbelievable live, the main reason I went to the show. They tore it up, seemed like they were having fun. This is great video and sound, really gets you into it.

[maxmaxmax7]

the best of the best always him

[VHfan4life24]

I was at this concert, and this may have been one of the best performed songs of the night. Great vid Frizerwink. Long live VH.

[randarmax]

Let me add my compliments to Frizerwink. I've been watching audience clips on youtube for a while now and THIS is probably one of THE best clips on the utube. Good going and what a capture- outstanding performance. Can't wait for the Houston show.

[zzwop77]

VH is tearing up the US on this tour. I was blown away by the Greensboro show. Comparing Van Hagar to CVH is like comparing beef jerky to filet mignon. CVH rules and no other band can touch them. Thank you Eddie for bringing back Roth. Now go make a new record after this tour is done. Roth On!!!

[wes1220]

I got two words for Van Halen without Mike Anthony:  Las Vegas

[halenfanatic]

They don't need mikey!! Their sounding fantastic!!!

[rekar1]

Saw them in '81, they're just as good now.If you want it flawless, listen to the record. Actually, their records weren't flawless, much more real than most stuff these days.

[blasty5150]

Good to see someone around here's got a clue, and their early albums were live takes, but yeah, they are ripping shit up 25 years later!!

[bobbiesock]

one of the best for sound and video out there good job

[Frizerwink]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it!

[robertt687]

cant wait till they come to seattle in dec havent seen them since 1974!!!

[84cutlass]

NJ here I come!!!! Can't wait. 2 days!!!!!

3 times w/Sammy and 1 time with that Gary character(boy did that suck!)

[ACDCfan426]

I was there at philly and they were fucking amazing. Just as cool as 25 years ago and i have no complaints. Long Live VH!!!!

[freyteswill]

Bring back the Red "SUCKER"?!!! what!???? you mean bring back 'why can't this be love' instead of "Romeo delight"!!! or "Love walkin'in" instead "Mean street"!..or wait ..this on is better!..."Feel so good" instead of "I'm the one"!!!! MY GOD!..yeah right!! count me out!

[ACDCfan426]

Your an idiot. Dave is 10 times better and they pussied out with sammy and tried to go commercial. Ill take any dave song over the best sammy song.

[freyteswill]

man! ..did you read the my comments content....i favor dave instead of sammy..so....that make more than an idiot than me if you can't understand my comments...sammy is a sucker and dave is a rocker!

[gautodog]

Or like Pretty Woman to Judgement Day?

Or how about Dancing in the Streets to 5150?

[jmartyp3]

bring back Sammy? what the hell?

[Chuey50]

If you guys think Van Halen is good now you have no idea. You should have seen them in 1980 when they were tight. These show are amature. David Lee Roth sux now!...BRING BACK SAMMY AND MICHAEL ANTHONY..THE RED ROCKER ROOOLZZZ!!!

[ACDCfan426]

They are still as good now. Dave cant jump but my dad was there from 80 to 84 and knows that daves vocals are still pretty tight. If you had been there it would have been different and if you were there and say the same thing then your smokin something.

[kristiluvsmaui]

I saw them at the Palace in Auburn Hills Michigan. Amazing show. Lot's of energy for the entire 2 1/2 hours!

[sholstein]

good video man! suprising good audio too.

[PeppyLapeu]

Went to Rosemont Il. show very skeptical, completely blown away....These videos do no justice to the performance they put on......Do yourself a favor and go see them!

[LtThrBRck]

Went to the same show and I was also blown away. Wish I could go to all there concerts.

[custardpie40]

hell yeah !!!..give my left one to see these guys again....

[dayved30]

This sounds band ass, and lets remember this is low quality compaired to what it would sound if it was a pro recording.

[Frizerwink]

no offence dude, but duh lol

[ezmoney5150]

I was wondering how well Wolfgang would play this song. He did a great job. Especially in the middle where he's tapping the into. Good job Wolfgang.

[chrisstatas]

I just love how VH jam (Like Led Zep & The Who) that's what was missing alot with Sammy's shit!! Notice how Dave allowed space in the middle for Ed and Wolfie to shine!! That is Classic!!! Fuck I wish I was there!!

[revelation1965]

I have to agree a bit with bonzo but at 15 getting up on stage give the kid credit he is doing a good job just imagine how good he will be in 10 years that is scary,

[sainttrollisko]

Damn how much i wish i was there...........

[cvjucla3]

Dave is aping Al Gore a lot, lately. I would like to see Gore sing 'Running w/ the Devil.'

[bonzo6880]

Shame on EVH for excluding Michael Anthony in favor of his own son. The sound suffers as a result, lacks the punch of the old days and is covered up with heavier drums and thicker guitar in the mix. They might as well play without a bass player, the result is similar. Check out the same songs with MA on bass and it is clear to anyone not in complete denial. It's easy to get nostalgic about hearing the old tunes again, but I'll save my money and continue to wait for a REAL reunion

[stuart250]

Give it up michael. They did it wel without you. Admit it.

Sure, it doesn't make it fair, but life ain't fair.

[Frizerwink]

You're gonna wait forever. sadly the ties are broken I think, altho it would be very nice to see them all, in one place. As for all the sammy bashing, I like both versions. I just couldnt accept Gary, but love the Music of BOTH Dave and Sammy

[sainttrollisko]

They didnt fire Mike cuz of the favor of Wolfie, .. but cuz Ediie got tired of seein' Mike with Sammy all the time:)

[Bertorama]

You hit the nail right on the head. Anybody who actually holds down a job, knows that the quickest way to get fired is to screw with the boss. Mike wanted to play with Sammy, and he got his wish.

[sholstein]

Roth just walks around onstage, he used run and jump all over the place. Eddie looks anorexic. But hell, they sound good.

[bgdbrussellsproutz]

they do sound good but do you really expect a man in his 50's to be jumpin around like he used to?

[shadow5150]

Lol I was in sec 5 row 11. It didn't come out bad for the camera I have and that i was pretty buzzed lol. Show was amazing! Thanks for posting my vids Frizer :)

[Frizerwink]

Your welcome Ice Cream man

[chrisstatas]

Now I know why that bass sounds so fucking AWESOME!!! It's a Fender Jazz, a fucking classic bass guitar. That's it Wolfie!! shake the earth baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Frizerwink]

have to amend the above, he was in the 7th row, big difference lol. Sorry about that

[Sideler74]

Fizerwink: The guy who shot this video looked like an early version of Eddie Van Halen & he was wearing a baseball cap. Is this true? I say this because I was sitting (standing) in Section 5 - Row 8 (right behind him). WHAT A GREAT SHOW!!!

[Frizerwink]

HE did have a red Phils cap on. Dunno about looking like a younger Eddie tho lol. Altho I think he's adorable.

[loopner247]

I went to both shows and they were better then when I seen them in '84...you have to see this tour!!!

[electronimonyc]

AWESOME

[quickcommute101]

ROTH-ON! Woooohoooooo!!!! No more hagar the horrible and his constipated sounding voice....

[Luci61]

I haven't been this excited since my kids were born!! The best rock band on the planet and they're back!! 7 more days to the Toronto concert.........Look out VH, here I come!! Wooohoooo!!!

[EddieShoreToeBlake]

I believe I was standing right behind the kid that filmed/posted this - section 5????

This was one of the top 6 shows I've ever attended - the energy coming off the stage and from the audience was unreal.

[glowasted999]

" Im your last loose end" - one of the best lines of all time.1:24

[convictedmidget18]

omg i bought seats in section 105, but when i got there somebody gave me a section 6 row 1 ticket so close to the stage it was sick as shit and the best thing i've ever seen in my life

[sonicgino]

A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

[stuart5150]

The hair on my arms is standing up!

[Brirei5150]

Wow... these guys were awesome tonight... (10-3)

Eddie had some issues with his equipment but they rocked. Go if you have a chance... really.. Mike was missed... wolfie was ok... I was in the very last seat in the place and it was a good show from there. I imagine it was better from the same zip code... Just Go!

[Frizerwink]

I didn't go, my Boyfriend did, I'll ask him for you

[Bongotheband]

Sweet! thanks!

quick question, what row and seat were you at. I wanna get an idea of where ill be for Dec 5th Vancouver!

im row 22, seats 20-22 on the floor

[Nonagrapes]

Going tonight in Philly been waiting for this for 22 years rock on VanHalen!!!

[Hunkola]

Be prepared to get your ass kicked! The band is back in rare form and dare I say...even BETTER than they were in '84 when they were smokin' hot. It will bring tears to your eyes and a big ole shit-eating grin to your face....a grin that wont wear off for days!!

[bgdbrussellsproutz]

I agree with you. They got off to a kinda shakey start but they were just a bit rusty I guess. I've been watchin all of their shows so far and there is no doubt they are gettin back in the groove. I wish wolfie would loosen up but i guess this is only his third show. cant wait till October 14.

[earlymtv]

i heard mikey quit cause they said no drinking on stage. so he got mad.

[sandman616]

"Baby please! I can't take it anymore!" Great video sir.

[Hunkola]

"High crime zone...in the city of lights!" I love that line....this song has a lot of swagger.

[gr8skyr]

I'm sure you realize they recorded this song 27 or 28 years ago. I listed to it on vinyl today. And this 2007 version kicks ass! Ticket to the show came in the mail today. THANK YOU VAN HALEN and UPS. This is no doubt the tour of the decade. Eddie Van Halen is securing himself as one of the best against all odds comeback stories in rock. I hope he can keep it up.

[Hunkola]

I was there and HOLY FUCK....let me just say VAN HALEN IS BACK, PEOPLE!!! I was amazed how powerful the band sounds....BETTER than the wild '84 show I saw in Philly back in the day. Trust me...you will NOT be disappointed at all.....Diamond Dave is on fire....Eddie is smokin hot...Wolfie and Alex laying down some serious groove. You are a 1st-class moron if you dont go see the mighty Van Halen on this tour!!!!!!

[alanm721]

nice job! show was great! enjoy the shows people.

[andropoulis]

wolfie does the highs

[nuprez]

I was there in sec 105! Best VH show since 1985! "Have you seen Wolfgang's grades?"

[Frizerwink]

Yeah! Lmao! and the look on Dave's face after he says it was so funny

[crazgtrst]

i was there. section 203!!! way high up but it was cool cuz you could see the whole stage. AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!! most exciting concert ive ever been to. and im going again tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hunkola]

I agree! I saw the band in '98 with Cherone and in '04 with Spambo and let me just say...VH with Diamond Dave blows those 2 faggoty versions right out of the fuckin' water! Anyone who thinks they know the real VH by watching Van Cherone or Hagar is delusional....this is the ONLY REAL HALEN THAT EVER MATTERED!!! Go see this tour and you will now what I mean...you will see God!

[BigGameChuck]

i think its safe to say that van halen is back, not the 2004 version, but the 1984 version

[Jam1457]

There getting tighter and tighter since Charlotte, this is one of the best sounding video's too.. I'll be there 10/16 Rosemont Chicago!! - 20 rows from front!!

[Hunkola]

I agree! I saw the band in '98 with Cherone and in '04 with Spambo and let me just say...VH with Diamond Dave blows those 2 faggoty versions right out of the fuckin' water! Anyone who thinks they know the real VH by watching Van Cherone or Hagar is delusional....this is the ONLY REAL HALEN THAT EVER MATTERED!!! Go see this tour and you will now what I mean...you will see God!

[NYVoice]

I chimed in saying they were going to miss Mike. On this footage, the high harmonies sound great. Is that Wolfie or Eddie? It does look pretty together. Congrats to all who are going to the rest of the shows.

[Philliefannizzle]

i was there it was my first concert im only 14 and wow it was amazing

[localhand]

Bad ass

[ACDCfan426]

I was in philly last night to see them with my dad and he says that this is the best has ever sounded in concert ever even back in the 80's and i believe him. Mind Blowing. Amazing. Best live band ever.

[digphilly]

I was there.  Mind Blowing!!!

[ashfender150]

it rocked.

plain and simple.

[dkilla113]

i was their from the looks of it i was a little further back then u but they rocked. went thier with my dad and some relatives and he said its probly oen of the best concerts hes been to and hes been to over 150. wolfgang was the man rocked the bass hard and wasnt afraid at all great show van halen rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[halenfanatic]

Can't wait to these legends in Cleveland & Auburn Hills!! Greatest American Rock Band of All Time!!!

[paulyme12]

I was there in Philly last night !!! It was great. In addition to Eddie's unbeleivable guitar playing. The lasers in this an a few other songs were so cool!! The band looked great too. I wish I could look as good as Eddie after rehab.

[Hunkola]

I agree! I saw the band in '98 with Cherone and in '04 with Spambo and let me just say...VH with Diamond Dave blows those 2 faggoty versions right out of the fuckin' water! Anyone who thinks they know the real VH by watching Van Cherone or Hagar is delusional....this is the ONLY REAL HALEN THAT EVER MATTERED!!! Go see this tour and you will now what I mean...you will see God!

[Hunkola]

I will be there in Cleveland with you to get our asses spanked by the mighty Halen! It's gonne be FUCKIN' SWEET and CLEVELAND WILL PARTY LIKE IT'S 1984!!!

[Melanypurrzz]

Best concert ever! I had floor seats! Loudest kick ass time ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[convictedmidget18]

there legends and will be forever

[mikme]

We were there in Philly Last Night October 1st.

Go and see this band rock with many songs that have not been heard live in a long time.

Little Dreamer, Cradle Will Rock, Atomic Punk, Beautiful Girls, etc

Dave sings every word for once. Great harmonies by the band. Great bottom end bass playing by Wolfie. Ed's (EVH) amps are screaming with monster tone.

Van Halen plays tight and kicks ass on this tour.

Take our advice. Get a ticket and go to see this show!

Awesome! Rock On!

[enots67]

cant wait till vh comes to chicago,eddies still the king. long live van halen

[AeroZach1029]

Chicago man! Lookin' forward to it!

[Eddieking23]

This is going to be good. VH is back and man I cant wait to see Eddie live.. They sound so good.

[Hunkola]

I'm seriously thinking of spending the cash to see them in Chicago as well. I already saw them kick major ass in Philly, and I got tix for the Cleveland show...but these guys are getting BETTER with every show. It's a fuckin MIND-BLOWER...how awesome can they get? It's scary how good classic Halen is live...

[zzfan4ever]

Nice Post... Eddie still has it, Alex still has it , Wolfie will be fine, needs a little work on his vocals (but listen to his dad) David's range is gone....BUT they have such a great body of work it would be worth seeing.

[shredforeman]

was at this show - AMAZING performance PERIOD!

these guys have not lost their touch. the entire show was near perfect except for the very few minor flaws. 1). mic feedback was horrible. it just seemed to come out of nowhere.

[aromicdevil]

Amazing.

[imachristian13]

OK...I've had enough of this Wolf-bashing. Called a family friend who is the local sound tech at the Wach Center. He clipped in on Wolf's bass last night.  There is NOTHING fake on the bass or vocals from this kid. Leave him alone! [Or at least don't pretend you're some kind of expert when you're not] Geez!

[yert2006]

Nobody is bashing the kid, he did a great job. we were hanging out drinking with some of the roadies., They were the ones that revealed that on a few of the harder tunes he was playing with a backing bass track. Otherwise, it's the best roth era performance since 81

[yert2006]

We know for a fact that wolfgang isnt playing all the bass parts. A FEW TIMES THE BASS PART WAS STILL GOING AND HE'S HOLDING UP THE BASS. And most of the back ground voacla are being ghosted with backing tracks. they all looked good tho

[JoeNJ1]

Yea they got Mike Anthony playing from backstage;)

[schwickd]

WOW! They are back - In full form too. This is a rock band. finally, this generation can see what it's all about when it comes to a rock band...

[DaveZZNZ]

was at this show! going tomorrow too.

[pdp888]

I was at Show Number 2 (Greensboro, NC), and this Romeo Delight looks better than that - they will only get better, my friends!!!

[astra1968]

YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I will see them on sunday, Toronto. Flying from Holland to Canada.....
