  • The sound/video is crap. Why post this?  Great band, poor vid.

  • why do ppl put great videos but crappy audio that you can barely hear?

  • Something BIG is brewing in the world folks. Watch THE OBAMA DECEPTION

    and check out ALEXJONESCHANNEL here on you tube.

    time to wakey wakey everybody.

    also, check out

    what on earth is happening- Mark Passio

  • Wolfgang sucks

  • They suck leave the sleeping dogs lie by the cds thats all your going to get they really suck bad

  • without wolf there is no real van halen roth/eddie....i can live with that. so should you...just sayin.

  • @bosoxyaz8 I can not or EVER live with out Micheal Anthony in the band... sorry just saying that he is twice the bassist that Wolfgangs ever gonna be!

  • @SirRembrant i feel ya bro BUT !!....for some reason eddie has a hard on against mike ? i never understood it personally ? hell it goes all the way back to the women and children era(1980) when the great underated NY Band TALAS opened shows for peak heavy era halen. eddie wanted sheahan to join the band back than. my point was without wolf in the band we would never have roth/eddie today.so its a trade off i can deal with. peace.

  • I can't blame Van Halen for tryin' it with his son,but do you think that this kid is going to be next Jack Bruce?Tim Bogert?Sheehan? Jaco? I don't think so-Please bring Michael back and let's put the package back together for real.

  • eddies fuckin kid brings this down two notches this fat fuck cant tie anthony's shoelace what ashame

  • thats fucked up man. van halen has always had a fat bass player...so whats the problem.

  • @jerkoff63 ......I dont believe its Wolfgang bringing them down, I think there very capable of performing that feat themselfs! Wolf is only doing what his pop has taught him to do. I don't believe he's tryin to "one-up" anybody on the bass.

  • The cause of all the distortion on this home made clip is due to the cheap mic on the cam. It can not handle the decibels that the PA was putting out. If the video cam had an adjustable gain on the mic, the guy who filmed this could have possibly cleaned up the recording by turning down the gain or trim on the his or her video recorder.

  • nice peewee herman hairdo,ed.. rock back the locks..

  • what is everybody complaining about? The grown-ups in this band have outgrown jumping around like kids. What are they? like 50 years old? They don't need the athleticism anymore to impress me. They are Americana icons who are happening to bless us with a taste of the old days.

  • I had the same seats in Minneapolis.

  • if you've ever seen them live you'd know any live recording this close to the amps is going to distort - VH is LOUD!

  • it sounds like shit

  • No, the recording sounds like shite.

  • ok, its a shitty fan clip

  • the sound is horrible

  • If you ever see them live, you'll change your mind!!

  • brutal sound... :(

  • Eddie should get a mowhawk. I don't really care for mowhawks but I think Eddie could actually pull it off.

  • thats gay as hell

  • so is your asshole

  • only in your gay fantasies

  • thats your fantasy. anyway, you probably have a 4 incher.

  • damn ur just way to cool

  • i do my best

  • you need to get away from this and get back to ralph stanley , ernest tub

  • This guy should buy himself some longer fucking pants.

  • eddies a growing boy

  • maybe he doesn't WANT longer pants. ever think of that? when you are a living legend, you wear whatever pants you want to wear. period.

  • wtf why post this shit

  • LMFAO, are you for real? jonas brothers better than Van Halen? lolz.

  • dswl can go suck a dick with sammy hagar, LONG LIVE DIAMOND DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wolfie says "hey dave can ya give me a break?" or sumthin like that i cant exactly remember

  • HANG IN THERE WOLFGANG!!!! Think theres no PRESSURE on this poor kid!!!

  • What did Wolfie actually say?

  • He said "come over to my house and give me a STEAK"  what a porker that kid is...

    he should live on booze and cigarettes for a while like his old man - that'd cut some of that fat off him

  • Will Dave actually ever give us a break?

  • Hey, Wolfie - you only had to remember like 6 words, or something!! Real funny! From the VH Appreciation Society UK - get the f**k over here! This is awesome. Real fire and passion.

  • I thought this video clip live sounded pretty good though. Dave could have moved around a little bit more. I guess I'm thinking back in the old days when he did leg kicks behind his head. But for a 50 something old man, I don't think he'll be doing much jumping around!

  • No band is ever the same without the original performers. Not sure what the comment was about Wolfie doing the same thing. Anyone know? Sherone sucks! I guess it's more of the stage presence than it is about his singing. Although I'm not to impressed with that either. Especially the part of the song where it says, "Hey man, that suit is you, you'll get some leg tonight for sure, show us how you do". Really cheesy without Dave singing it.

  • man wolfie did the same thing at the philly show, i just cant find the clip of it. It was the only thing about the show that was off. Otherwise, it was incredible.

  • He did the same thing at the Detroit show.

  • This is great song.

  • can u imagine being wolfgan what is he 17 and playing with legends, he's already in the hall of fame!

  • he joined after they got in hall of fame he missed out on that but michael anthony the only real bass player in there

  • horrible quality, but I wish I had seats like you

  • the van hagar years was necessary...

    eddie still thinks he is god...

    he learned that VAN HALEN IS him and DAVE..

    EDDIE AND DAVE ARE ... VAN HALEN..

    NUFF SAID.

  • *sniff* beautiful! :-P

    haha, very well put though

  • Well, i think this whole van halen tour of '07 wouldnt have happenedd if sammy hagar wasnt in the picture. dlr quit back then, but not eddie, and i bet nobody pictures van halen without EVH himself.

  • I'm with you - it ain't VH without Diamond Dave. He still looks and sounds great! And Sammy Hagar is a creepy old drunk.

  • All 3 versions of van halen are great .I hope they do a tour with all 3 singers, and michael anthony, so everyone will be happy and all the wiiiining stops .ROCK ON MIGHTY VAN HALEN..from Hank in Miami..

  • I like how Wolfie messes up and Eddie's just like.. um go with it..

  • Rediculous comments from ignorant people will fade into oblivion. The memories of seeing a Van Halen reunion concert will stay with me forever...

  • sammy sucks and so does wolfie, this is no fucking van halen without mike, this is a fucking joke, eddie is an idiot

  • wofy did this same mess up in phila too but it was cute

  • The sound quality is so shitty I don't know why you even put this up!

  • no, Sammy is sweet. and he'll actually play the Dave songs, with more life. But it was cool to see it with Dave

  • they didn't suck dumbfuck. the video is shit quality. it's not the person with the camera's fault either. the camera just couldnt take the loud sound.

  • THANKYOU,  I got the best video i could with the staff being right under me. I wasnt going to just stick the camera out for everyone to see.

  • no no, you don't understand, THEY SUCK!!!

  • Then why the fuck did you click onto the song,MORON!!BTW,you swallow!

  • Anyone who misses this tour is a god damn idiot....the baddest rock band on planet Earth....case closed...end of argument!

  • By far the greatest rock concert I've ever seen. No exaggeration. Wolfie was beyond amazing, especially in Panama and Dance The Night Away. He didn't make a single mistake that I heard, for that matter. I've already got tickets to see them again. Way too good to miss.

    By the way, Eddie did smoke, but he was still leaping around the stage like mad.

  • You've GOT TO watch the version of this song, that they did back in '81 (here on youtube)!!!

  • Does anyone know why Dave isn't jumping around anymore??? Is it because he hasn't been able to take care of himself well, ever since they broke up?...due to the fact that, (I had read that) the REST of Van Halen had ROYALLY SCREWED HIM OVER FINANCIALLY, BY USING THEIR OWN LAWYER, BEFORE SURPRISING HIM W/PAPERS TO LEGALLY BREAK THEM UP, BACK THEN!!! I'VE HATED THE REST OF VAN HALEN EVER SINCE I READ THAT, NOT TO MENTION THAT, SAMMY HAGAR SIMPLY SUCKS IN COMPARISON TO DAVE!!!!!

  • i just went to thier concert in fresno last night and it was fucking awsome!

  • Two words for Van Halen:  LAS VEGAS

  • I got 2 words for you!! Spammy & Mikey are playing in front of 500 people a night!! Van Halen is playing in front of 15,000-20,000 a night!! Eddie, Al and Dave are legends!!!

  • Thank GOD Spammy is out of the band!! It is a shame Mikey wasn't invited!!

  • SSSSMOKIN'

  • Hey! Weeeeee! Let's argue about Van Halen, ooohh.

  • eddie doesnt smoke anymore. he went to rehab and i was here it was very good..

  • He did indeed smoke both times I saw him this fall!

  • Toronto and Montreal

  • And if you want to see him smoke the guitar there coming back to North Carolina. Dont let this chance go by. It is worth every dollar and i will be there again.

  • Sad...half a tongue, one lung and still needs to smoke 2 packs a day. Come on Ed, give me a break.

  • It wouldn't be too bad but Dave looks like he's having trouble moving around. Maybe at his age, bad arthritis has set in.

  • SonofBrunhilde: Funny, I've heard Dave and Eddie look totally ripped on this tour and are moving like a coupla teenagers. I guess losing weight while being sick has it's upside!

  • selection. uhh

  • Who are we to talk about the Van Halen bothers secection of the young Van Halen to join the band Van Halen? Van Halen was %50 Van Halen, and now they are %75 Van Halen.

  • Great seats

  • what has beens look like

  • you must know I see

  • I love how Eddie looks at his son with that ( don`t take Dave personaly, he`s been and always will be a jerk, lets just suck it up and smile on payday ) Eds all heart and Wolf is one tough young man, I tip my hat to him. I love how alot of fans dis on Wolf, GET THE FUCK OVER IT.......THE DUDE ROCKS

  • yea wolfie rox i saw him and he kicked ass!

  • good point

  • I saw them last night at Nassau Coliseum, NY, OMG... I've waited forever for DLR to return, He is Van Halen, Amazing Vocal's, he's still got it & some. What a true showman. You can tell they're happy to be back together, they all complement each other. Awesome Drum solo Alex!!, Eddie your the epitome of Guitar solo's, Wolfgang, good luck in your career, It's grueling, but worth it every show. You did your Father proud.

  • Hey, from all of us who have played in bands when we were young.....it'll get better. And I bet he never botches it again. He's doin' ok.

  • C'mon Wolfie....Give Us A Break! And quit fucking up a good song. You'll have Dad falling off the wagon before the tours over with you stressing him out by never getting your lines right.

  • He still a little wet behind the ears? lol

  • I miss MA in the lineup, but I know Wolfie is doing his best. These are some real "kick ass" shows. It's great to see Eddie and Dave back together after all these years.

  • VH freakin rules! Little "differences" are what make rock and roll.....Rock and Roll!

  • Wolfie says "Dave... tell us... give me... whoever you're talking to a break".

    Two shows later in Philly Wolfie said it before Dave had the mic on him, and Dave said to the crowd "wait, wait - this is his big line" and held the mic up to him, and Wolfie blurted out "Dave gimme a break".

    Nothing near as cool as how Templemansaid it on the record.

  • Saw both Chicago shows. 2 words: they friggin' rocked! Wolfie more than held his own. Thanks for finally getting the real reunion going!

  • Wolfie..... It's "come on Dave give me a break" this isn't the first time he screw this up. Went to Indy and it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  • i went last night in Detroit, and going tomm. in Auburn Hills....this was a bad ass show...true van halen..

  • what the hell did he say?

  • hmmmmm....

    they need MA

  • Alright people. Help me out here. Why isn't Michael Anthony in the picture? Not that I have anything against Wolfie, but, isn't that what everybody wanted was for Van Halen to reunite? With the original band members.

  • me parece a mi o el hijo de eddie, toca cualquier cosa?.... que vuelva el bajista original!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this sux! bring back mikey & SAMMY!!

  • Whos the fat kid playing the Bass? Is that Valerie Bertenelli?

  • its eddies son

  • OK that was funny. The kid is holding his own though. I've got good ears. He is singing those tough parts right on key.

  • Eddie looks great! Dave looks great! Alex looks..like Alex! Disappointed that Michael's not there,not quite the same. As for the kid? Can't believe V Bertinelli is allowing her "baby" to travel w/ the world's greatest band EVER. That lifestyle...sex, booze, drugs, etc..but, getting to travel w/ your Dad as part of the world's greatest band EVER...that is SO badass! And, you can't deny the kid has talent. It's in his genes. He IS a Van Halen afterall. The band IS called VAN HALEN!!!!

  • Sure, but as a fan from way back it's really dissapointing to not have Michael Anthony there...they were a band in which every member had their fans.

    It's a damn shame, but they do sound great.

  • bring back Michael!!!

  • anybody giving these cats the shit, should just eat it!! Damn cool as hell, playing together.

    Rock and Roll is a party, fuckers!! If you want perfection, it aint happnin' bud. Who cares if they fuck up a note, or words. Fockin' lip/sync

    for 'em dude!! You know the words...SING !!!

  • hey did the line wrong on purpose...it's a joke!!

  • Sound quality is shit, why bother. Doesn't do the band any favours cause I know they sound better than this. Give the kid a break, I think it's cool he's playing along side his old man, cause I know my daughter wouldn't. Kids are so agist. Go Van Halen Go, see you in Sydney.

  • Is there anything we can do to get Michael back? That boy is horrible...

  • "DAVE...Tells US...give us a break???" fucking butchered it! he sounds like the kid that he is. funny how eddie shruggs it off! for a second there he must have thought wish michael was there. dont fuck it up at the GARDEN NEW YORK CITY WOLFIE!!!

  • I just don't see it, they don't have that old chemistry. Check out the old US festival vids, they had it then. Now they're kid of boring. It's like they're not of the same stage, they're each off into their own world.

  • You're going off a video of opening night for Crissakes. And even the video of Last Friday doesn't do it justice.

    Go see it live before you open your mouth - because you're dead F****** wrong.

  • Ok, saw them live at the garden. Sorry pal, I was right, they just don't have it anymore. Something's missing. I saw them on the Diver Down (Hide Your Sheep) Tour year ago, they were awesome then, not now. Now they're going through the motions.

  • I am not your pal. I am female. And you are entitled to your lameass opinion - I just feel sorry for you that you paid MSG prices and didn't have the sense to enjoy yourself. It ain't 1982 anymore hon - people grow up and can't do split jumps off the risers anymore.....boo hoo.

  • scottm4321: (Sammy, is that you, lol?) While it's your opinion and purely subjective, you stand in the minority this go 'round. Every report and review I've read and heard about this new line-up and show has been glowing and positive. "Going thru the motions" comment is lame, clueless and assinine.

  • Actually I can't stand Sammy Hagar, he was the worst thing to happen to the band. But to post a reply like yours about my opionion is the truly assinine thing. I have a right to my opinion just as you have a right to yours. I'm you don't agree with me that's fine, but to be insulting to me about it is lame and clueless.

  • I saw the Indy show on Sunday. Eddie is the best. Don't miss it, it may never happen again!

  • This tune is half the reason why I'd go see Van Halen. Thanks for posting. Are they playing any Haggar era tunes on this tour?

  • actually, they aren't playing hagar tunes. its kinda understandable too, since it is David Lee Roth and not Hagar...

  • During the Hagar years, they did play some Roth era tunes, but I couldn't imagine Roth singing any of the stuff off of 5150 and after; his voice isn't high enough, and I don't imagine that those songs would fit him.

  • your right there... what i mean though is that Roth might feel a bit of.. well.. dislike towards Hagar, because Hagar pretty much swiped his job after he left, and when he wanted it back, it wasn't there.. haha. there probably is some bitterness between the two if i were to gues... knowing my luck, they probably hate eachother and i'm just behind the power-curve

  • Why does'nt Eddie use cordless guitar?

  • ...because cordless sound like shit...basically cordless reduces the tone quality. Wise move by the Master himself...ROTH-ON baby!

  • What?? DLR & tone quality? Bullshit. He has a cord so he can swing it around. Go to a music store and ask them if there is a difference in quality between a cord and a pro wireless system. I have been using wireless systems for 20 years. Wexperience do you have?

  • Well you are no Edward Van Halen so I am pretty certain he has his reasons...wouldn't you say?

  • You don't have to be EVH to know that wireless has no affect on quality. He could use a curly cord on a banjo for all I care. There are so many variables in the line from strings,pickups,effects,batter­ies,mics,and so on. I just hate uninformed, selfapointed experts.

  • You mean "selfapointed experts" like yourself? LOL

  • I have been playing for 20 years with that being my sole source of income for 3 years in Europe. I have my own PA and recording studio. I own 6 guitars and graduated from music school. What other requirements do you need. +Why did Ed and every other GT player on earth use wireless but he does 1 tour with a cord and you become a mindreader. What make you an expert?

  • Back in the day when I used to play, I had a Sampson wireless system and to my ear, the signal was a bit stronger and cleaner than with an old-school cord. Why Eddie doesn't use one is beyond me. But who am I to say he's wrong?

  • I use an AKG wireless, and I get a better sound from a cord....To each theri own I guess...

  • Why doesnt Eddie go cordless on the guitar?

  • just seen them last night in Indy, First of all, props to Wolfie, I think he did a great job, he really stepped up and is doing wonderful. Second, I think it was freagin great they did all the classic music!!! The best concert I have ever seen. I highly suggest you go see them, you won't be disappointed. And for all you Roth haters... Their is nothing like the "original recipe" Rock On guys!!!

  • why is it that eddie doesnt use frankenstein anymore?i think he should use franky on the 2007 tour...it'll be nice to see eddie use his trademark guitar.

  • He did use frankie in greensboro twice.

  • Next thing: To me these HAGAR bashers must be about 10 or 12 years old, right? Both had HUGE influences on the sound of VH and they are definately NOT comparable. Also please notice the TIMES! Example: imagine HAGAR singing "On Fire" or "You`re no good" and ROTH "Why can`t this be love" or "Pleasure Dome", got it? Both decades were amazing and had timeless moments, remember that or continue your kidding bullshit without any clue.

  • Bravo, Well Said

  • Read lots of postings here the past weeks and now - I think - it`s time. First: the haters, please imagine one thing: YOU and YOURS, 16 year old teenager live on stage in front of a VAN HALEN audience with Alex, Eddie & Roth(!) Would LOVE to see ya, tough guys! No question MA ownes this young man, but please pay some respect! All these so called VH fans should be ashamed, because Wolfie might be the future of it. And we all know what kind of personalities we are talking about. Give it a chances!

  • Wow! Great sound quality! lol :)

  • looks like Wolfie ate Michael Anthony...

  • lmao..!

  • The Toronto show was off the hook! ask anyone who was there. These guys are blowing away everyones expectations!

  • You're just upset because Van Halen kicks your fucking ASS. Van Halen was the best band in the world, and IS the best band in the world...and now they're back. Fucking live with it.

  • Oh ya.. some nice clips by these two people from the Oct 07 Toronto show

    evh5150316

    backpackdave

  • Totally agree.. Wolf is great. Just saw the Toronto show and he was ripping. Having him and his dad on the same stage with all the proud papa vibes in the place really was something.

  • WTF, C`MON, NO FUCKING WAY, WOLF`S THE MAN AND TO ALL YOU HATERS OUT THERE, GET THE FUCK OVER IT. When Van Halen shuts it down (hopefully no time soon) Wolfgang will still be playing music, it`s in the young mans blood.

  • I was there,,, Wolfie says..."Dave, whoever you're talking to, give us a break". He sounded REALLY nerdy.. Need to get rid of that part. But was funny anyhow

  • I think he said "Dave you keep fuckin with me Imma shove this bass guitar up your ass sideways...........That`s what it sounded like to me.

  • You can see Ed look over before Wolfie talks, like "Is he going to screw this up?" Evidently Ed knew Wolf was nervous about doin this part. The kid's only 15...probably self conscious as hell. They'll probably get rid of his part on this one. Maybe they'll have Michael Anthony doing this part from a live remote in Cabo.

  • Lolll!!

  • Now I'm hearing Wolfie say, "Dave...tell us if you like biscuits n' gravy" or possibly, "Dave...I went on QVC and bought some fashion jewelry." That's the best I can come up with.

  • What the hell did he say? It sounded likem "Dave...can you help me with my Algebra homework?"

  • I am not sure yet, i am isolating the audio to see if i can figure it out.

  • WHAT THE FUCK DID DLR SAY?? Then what did Wolfie say, I can't understand it.

  • i like how ed picks his cig off the floor and puts it in his mouth. lol.

  • that wasnt a cig, that was ABC gum

  • yea i didnt hear the whole thing wolfie said, how did he mess up?
