Van Halen INTRO ICE CREAM MAN 10-1-07 Philadelphia

[Warri0rXClan1]

I was there it was awesome!

[paisleyization]

This is the 5th video I've seen of him at different cities putting on the exact same "emotional act" before carrying on with the song. Even in Edmonton, 32 dates after this show, he's still acting the same shtick; on cue. After 30 years of performing this tune, no way would it make him "choke up", this guy is a tough, hard assed professional performer who does what ever it takes to manipulate the audience. THAT is his greatist talent.

[lastdaysguitar]

dlr = vh

[mrmanown]

he said the same thing at the concert i went to

[vhfreak1981]

We had the BEST TIME at this show!!! We stood for the ENTIRE concert...It was kinda funny the people in front of us, the guys wife and daughter were singin there hearts out and the dude stayed sittin down not even lookin at the stage....hahaha!!!! & To the fag boys rippin the show - you probably weren't even there...and ya know what? NO ONE fuckin cares what you think.........VH is the BEST!!!!!!!!

[slash65]

NO NO NO Alex and Eddie's dad played the clarinet, not the saxophone

[DarthKazi]

@slash65

He played both.

[theShowStopper321]

@slash65 he could also play sax

[TheGreatGallbo]

I was in a record store and the owner was playing a bootleg from this tour, and I heard this dumb ass story, I died laughing

which is why I had to look it up on the 'tube

5 stars for Doofy Diamond Dave's story (p.s. it's evident they never listened to any Pink Floyd... and Dave is probably hitgh off of his ass here..)

[hailtheheelz]

check out my profile. I have a video of Ice Cream Man in Raleigh where a kid jumps on stage at the end!

[nosdriven]

Thanks for the bedtime story Grampa Dave!

[NaynayBR]

Dave is still HUGE on stage.The vibe in that concert was AMAZING! Roth On! R&R forever with VH!

[Halentime]

Hey Darkeder,

I bet you're the kinda guy who puts peanut- butter on his own dick and lets his dog lick it off cause you can't get laid. Roth and Halen are the best there is and ever will be...so go fuck yourself. Go ahead and comment back you fag.  You're the douche, I'm sorry I take that back, that would mean you're getting some.

[SHOWSTOPPERHBK9]

hahaha 3:26 "I WAS BORN IN 72'!"

[StillBowling4Dollars]

Oh put a sock in it, darkeder. We all know how you feel. Just let Dave enjoy his time back in the limelight while us classic Van Halen fans enjoy Dave where he belongs...back with Van Halen and back on top of the world!

Diamond Dave RULES!

[darkederkedarke]

douche belongs in the washed up ex lead singers retirement home...where his voice can no longer pollute the atmosphere with his noise pollution. The lad is over...his act is dated....the once proud (and rocking) songs sound like high school talent show performances..is it any wonder ed returned to abusing booze and dope?

[guyfromgf]

I wish he would do at least one flying roundhouse from the drum riser.

Dave seems very awkward.

Van Halen WAS the best.

[Drackopolis]

I love these guys, i just wish my wife were still alive to see this happen...Miss ya, baby!

[GooberNS]

3:26 "i was born in '72 man!!" lol

[missyh49er]

I'm saying who cares if it's "rehearsed"!! They are doing a tour, just like any other band on tour, it's going to be somewhat rehearsed. We're lucky Van Halen got back together & are kickin' ass!!! They rock!!! I love this band!!!

[Blitnekoff]

Rehearsed man, rehearsed !

[GooberNS]

Of course its rehearsed? Its a SHOW!

[86peterbilt359]

why the fuck would he use a diff story- most people dont go to evry show they put on so its new to everybody every night. let it go tools.

[metalsfan]

same speech he said 2 days ago

[predator47]

lol almost the same speech i saw at Arco on the 27th

[webvidseek]

I WAS THERE TOO!!!

[ohpoepoe]

1:32 =p ice tream cruck

[Soadxbyob12]

same exact thing from last night NY, meadowlands

[Taintgun]

Not exactly the same, I was at MSG and Nassau. VERY close, but little tweaks, not a pure speech, and the core of it is GREAT.

[dunskie]

They owned Boston. I'm telling you, don't miss it. KICK ASS. The Mighty Van Halen.

[acdcfantic]

haha he does the exact same story every time, i love it though. i just saw them in boston last night, they kicked ass!

[babsjovi26]

shameless

[tom43fan]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzz

[stormchaserr]

This was cool!! Roth is and always be VAN HALEN. The Chicago show I seen a few weeks ago was the coolest concert ive ever been to!

[manofmanners]

Shut up dave!

[demmikedem]

"The only people who put Iced Tea in Jack Daniel's bottles is THE CLASH BAAAABY" - DLR

[lizardneck]

[seagravefan]

[B19M91W]

[cranie4]

Wow he's got a lot to say...great memory..

[guitar4lyphe]

lol he says ice tream cruck....then ice tream truck

[wildbilltexas]

Great intro, that was the seventies kids.

[The1stAvenger]

In this clip Dave says he lives on Orange Grove. That's true, he does. Still at the two story house that his dad owned and where VH rehearsed.

[pearldrummer1]

ptacisback what do you amount to? Oh I forgot a loser who posts on youtube. LOL Douche bag.

[HeathCohen]

[KappenandFriends]

David lee roth is my idol man!

[TAKE2TOKES]

IM SPEECHLESS MAN

[schuberttweakle]

This reaffirms evrything I always thought, What a wanker.

[jperro1]

Great story David!

[bigdaddy40]

Nice to hear that Alex was working in some sleazy polka club when he was 13. I wonder if he ever saw Lec Walensa naked?

[dunskie]

Dave seems to be really cherrishing this moment. Good for him. You blink your eye and it's 23 fucking years later.

[StillBowling4Dollars]

You got that right, dunskie. Loved that ending moment, before he starts "Ice Cream Man".

"We love you, Dave!"

[dunskie]

Dave left it all on the stge.

[chrisstatas]

Hey Sammy ya punk!!! Are you taking notes from Diamond Dave "GREATEST FRONTMAN OF ALL TIME", on how to talk to an audience? Not even "Alexander The Great" could lead the mighty Van Halen. And Alexander the Great is one of Dave's hero's!! Long live the REAL VAN HALEN!!!!

[ptacisback]

douche lee is soooo good he was doing what the last 22 years?? FAILED radio host...FAILED e.m.t .... FAILED DOUCHE LEE ROTH BAND.....playing ribfests and begging for loose change... YEAH he sure is a great frontman! ROFLOL!

[rpwheels68]

I was there that night. The concert was AWSOME!!! Eddy,Dave, Alex, and Wolfy were rockin that night!!

[gravyguy05]

Listen to that crowd! They love the guy, and no matter what sammy fans say, Diamond Dave is un-replaceable. He is an ENTERTAINER, quit worrying about how is vocals are sounding.

[ptacisback]

Thats just dumb... with a thought process like that ... you must get talked into buying anything! ie "Who cares if the car runs---hell it looks cool"

[newavehaircut]

Thats why DLR rocks!!!! He can interact with the crowd the way that Hagar the horrible could only dream of!

[GordonYYZ]

One of the coolest storys ever.

[dthayer]

The one, the only, Diamond DAVE!

Welcome back...I miss the old Van Halen!

[mofrak]

"The suburbs where they tear out all the trees and name the streets after them"  So true.

Great story, but where's the song?

[dkstar222]
