There are times when being in a Family can be TOUGH. Now try to imagine the added pressures of WORKING together within that structure, Day in and Day Out. We all do things we shouldn't and Don't do things that we should, regardless of what your roll is within that family. Life is what it is. It's neither perfect nor easy, or one way ALL of the time. Issues surface, be it at Dinner tabels or Concert stages. Good Luck to The Van Halens, adopted members such as David Lee And ALL the souls they wor
Dave rules................Ed on the other hand is a total asshole and cant play to save his life these days.....................not too much respect for the paying fans who come to see him play not to see a drunken pompous ass !!!
I actually liked this preformance .the 2004 tour was another story. Eddie was so wasted that tour, he couldent even play the opening notes to Panama properly, he attempted to freestyle and it was horrible.
It's very evident that David Lee Roth took this tour seriously and Eddie did not. You have to be a major dick to cuss out your teenage son in front of everybody when you are fucked up and playing like shit. I hope Wolfgang can get past the disappointment that is his father; the once great Eddie Van Halen.
4:47 he throws down his guitar pissed off...5:30 i was sitting right there at upper stage left and saw him clock those amps with his fist as hard as he could...before this he was bitching at Wolfbang onstage and having tantrums all night
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HORRIBLE. This proves David Lee Roth should crawl back into the cave from whence he came. Shame on Van Halen for bringing this sorry-ass loser back on stage with them. SAMMY all the way!!! Shame that he was fucked out of the band!
Sad part is, it was about this time that Eddie started requesting little bottles of wine in his off-stage cooler. (see the smoking gun website) After the rehab stint that caused him to miss the R&R Hall of Fame ceremony.
Damn shame. I don't care if the guy never plays another note, but he's got to pull it together.
David can still jump at age 53, although I miss the high kicks and and long flowing hair. He has taken better care of himself than the other members of the band.
I agree, Bring Sammy back, Dave's washed up and Eddie can't get along with either but long as people still willing to pay, they'll play. look at this tour with NO new material. saw them in 1978 in Cleveland and they ROCKED but that was long ago.
I think for them to make this reunion tour, and then have it be so awful like is is extremely irresponsible for any artist to do. They grossed what, something like 150mil? Every single youtube vid of their latest stuff is just sad. And to ditch Anthony like they did? Says nothing of the fact that I don't want to pay money to hear amateurs, so maybe when school is back in session this fall Wolfy, think about classes instead of stages.
I dont think the keyboord is out of synch, but his guitar is really out of tune. check out the SOLO!! you see ed taking his shoulders up in the song. en smashed his guitar head on the floor. he's really upset.
Why do people always diss Gary Cherone? He is an excellent vocalist and can hit the notes much better than Roth. Just listen to Roth's hackery on this song. He is butchering it!!! Gary sings much better IMHO
at show in nj...sound was horrible...needs better equipment and speakers, and backing vocals aka mike anthony...why can't there be roth and hagar singing (YES TOGETHER)...christ both made van halen not just one of them...we should just all grow up except that van halen has rocked from the beginning and are on "break" ever since sammy was first fired back in the mid - 90's...if you want ot complain about v/h singers, gary is the man to complain about...HAVE A TRUE REUNION TOURS/ALBUMS/BAND
I think they made a mistake extending their concert from Aug/Sept? 07 for that long. Take a 2-3 month break and then continue, whatever Eddie's drugs/drinking problem are,
he needed a break. Good for Wolfie for standing up to him-probably the only reason
he got help again. Stange, the wisdom of a 16 year old...maybe will save Eddie's life.
VAN HALEN iz killer period. Hagar has better songs solo than he did with V.H. U-no! What puts them,[ as in V.H. with Roth or with Hagar] over the top as a group iz EDWARD VAN HALEN. U-no! and most important , can't 4-get about hiz brother Alex ,he's a KILLER Drummer! An awesum pair! We r b-ing treated to two people that the Rock-n-roll Godz have brought 2-gether to give uz Van Halen muzic-a! There muzic is as good as Zep, The Who, or any Heavy- Metal group that has ever hit the Planet! DIME4EVER
The thing is, Hagar was known of, b/4 he joined Van Halen. Hagar became very known of after he joined Van Halen. Van Halen owned the world way b/4 he got with them.They say you will return to your roots b/4 its all said and done.Alex, Eddie, and Roth are the reason. It's just a shame it had to bust up in the first place.Listen 2 sum videos from vintage 84 concerts,and then listen and view now. Just like Roth says in the P.R. conference."Better than it ever F**k-n was!"
I also feel bad for people who pay the kind of money that this group is charging. Most working-class people like myself can't really afford it to begin with, but when the performances are shoddy and they can't stay in key, then you feel like you've really wasted your money. Eddy really screwed up by leaving Michael Anthony out. There would be people standing in line if they had left him and Haggar in the lineup. In my opinion, Haggar was the better singer.
that is definitely your opinion. but i don't care about the singing because i can listen to the album....however, i crave the presence that only DLR can bring to the stage. Haggar is fine as a solo artist....but David blows him away on stage.
Then I doubt that I'll go to the one in St. Louis. I've read that VH sold a LOT more records during the years that Hagar was the singer. Imagine that. So why would I want to go and spend out the nose for songs that only David Lee Roth sung 22 years ago? I think I can save my hard-earned cash on this group.
yes, Van Hagar sold more albums because sammy wrote some of the GAYIST songs for that era....and when you play to the market....you can sell anything....as long as it's "mainstream"...and that's what Van Hagar played to....so yes, he sold more albums...but that doesn't mean shit. the Macarena was a #1 hit!! Van Halen beats Van Hagar ANYDAY!
YOUR opinion, but NOT mine. I did not like ALL the songs with Hagar OR with Roth, but by far there were more hits with Hagar and no one car argue with that. If I go to a concert, I don't pay to see a clown perform; I pay to hear someone sing--not pretend he's a circus act. And yes, I'm sure David & Eddy will have infighting going on before it's over.
I feel sorry for the people of Ft. Lauderdale! Tickets are not cheap! Some of us have to save up several months just to buy tickets and then to have Ed perform while drunk? Instead of Ed saying Thanks, he should have said Sorry! That's probably why he threw his guitar down, maybe he should have given it to one of the poor souls in the audience. I'm an HUGE VH fan but I also have a family to support so I expect to get my money's worth at a concert. Hope Ed is sober when they come to Dallas!
I am considering going to the St. Louis concert in April IF I can scrape up the cash. However, I read somewhere that they are not singing ANY of the Sammy Hagar songs that made VH famous. Is this true? If so, I don't think I want to waste my time or money since I think some of the best songs were during the Hagar years.
Fort Lauderdale really got a bad show that night...from a bad version of eruption,this,Panama...wow...and eddie's angry at his setup....
WOW....what a bad night...
ACTUALLY,eddie did not throw his guitar..Wolfgang did...he use the red-black stripe Charvel right ?? eddie was using the Peavey Wolfgang with clear color...it was wolfgang..what kind of kid did not appreciate an instrument ????
Look again. At 4:48 Edward tosses his guitar down on stage. Were you there that night? Judging the sound quality of a whole concert based on a few audio clips from various camera phones may well distort one's impression of the audio quality of the entire performance.
It looks like they both throw their guitars.first Edddie(easy to tell cause he's in white pants),then a little after,Wolf throws his near the front of stage to the left(his right)I think....check it out.
They were just fantastic right back in January in San Antonio and Dallas. I sincerely hope that this is a battle that Ed can keep fighting after getting knocked down (by himself) over and over again. Just keep getting up, Ed...
I certainly enjoyed the three Florida shows I saw including this one. Having not seen VH since I was lucky enough to see them open for Ted Nugent August 12th 1978 in Largo, Md. - I was very happy to see the band with boy rock out and rock on. I am just glad I went when I did.
Ed had been drinking for years and kicking ass. Ed's issue is hearing loss. He can't hear what's going on, hence his playing out of key and flubbing around on the guitar. He'll get it taken care of soon, the tour will resume and Ed will kick ass.
He must have got it from a "Source Of Infection," but hopefully soon he'll be "AFU" and be "Unchained" from this affliction and get "One Foot Out The Door" and tour again and then began making music for more "Dirty Movies"
Where's TOP JIMMY when we need him??? He must be OUTTA LOVE AGAIN !!! Or with a GIRL GONE BAD!!! Could he be ah,- LIGHT UP THE SKY,-or - D.O.A. No he has put himself back in the HOUSE OF PAIN !!! Oh Well, HAPPY TRAILS to you, Bomb- ba- De- da. Bomb- ba-De-da. We are finding out, how it goes. HANG- EM- HIGH !!! you SINNERS SWING !!!
I am glad I saw this clip. I was there this night. A song or two before Jump we saw Ed fall over his pedals and knock the mic over and lay there 50 seconds regaining his composure while DLR laughed giving Ed thumbs up. After the number Ed ranted to his tech. Seeing the show continue I thought that all was well. As soon as they finished I split. I didn't see the cabinet get knocked over until seeing it here. Looks coincidental that DLR is nearby. Ah, so he was drunk. Now it makes sense.
LoL...Now that's good ol RocK! The tour needed to be rebirthed and what better way to get back on page 5 than an Eddie relapse? D.L.R. is a master at keeping spotlight focused on the band...Plus there's Valeries new book release! This is a classic keep your bad in the public eye move...knocking over a few fake cabinets, ( does anyone think all those 4x12 cabinets are real?) Then it's funny how Roths at the right place at the right time with his mic still on....Bravo!!!
Give ed abreak he is my god and he is an alcholic he has a problem and he needs help he's doing the right thing look at how many time's clapton relapsed. At least Van HAlen is rescheduling all the shows
eddie has had to fell off the wagon.i saw them in indy oct.14 2007, man, they were great!they were stiff on stage,but killer!with the tour b-ing put on hold till the tiger benefit, thats 30 days in rehab, u ask me,thats whats up!more power to him if this is the case.its gotta b whats up!would like them to play more deeper cuts from there albums. they play sum good ones now, but want more. me wise magic would b awesum.girl gone bad,top jimmy,u-no the kick ass V.H.get well ed and back 2 100%
I wonder who gets stuck paying for all the losses incurred when the tour was cancelled 6 weeks early. Tours are where the money is made, not record sales anymore.
rock n roll "scene"? a "scene" is what you make of it. just because band X is doing heroin doesn't mean band "a" has to. Ace Frehley is running a sober operation.. he's banning booze and drugs on his tour. It can be done. I think evh is accountable for getting plowed in front of his minor son, taking the kid out of school for touring and that vb is an accomplice. this isn't a religious issue, it's f*cking common sense.
I just hope evh straightens out, does right by the kid.

Wolf hates it when his dad drinks. He knew Eddie was drunk onstage that night, and was acting cold to him, which set Eddie off. Eddie went beserk and started yanking guitar cables from the pedal boards and throwing cigarettes around onstage."
"At the end of the concert, Eddie was so mad at Wolf, he punched the amp speaker, knocking it over."
Ah, poor guy. He just needs to relax and get some things straightend out first. He's lived a hard life. He just needs to turn everything over to the man that can take care of all his problems. Jesus.
well, that's a thoroughly idiotic notion. "hard life"?! He's had access to superstar $ everyday since 1978, gimme a break. any "hard times" were purely of him own making. But you born-again goobers and your lilly-white jeebus are more than welcome to try to convert evh, lol. praisalicious!
Eddie better get your act together, get it together. People are saddend to hear that you are ill, and also trashed on stage. At least DLR is a great entertainer.
well, it's a good thing he's back in rehab. maybe he'll take a look at michael schenker and ace frehley. both of those guys are on the wagon after some public trials. ace is getting back to the top of his game.
meanwhile, valerie is telling everyone her ex "sounds terrific". oh yeah, "sounds terrific". why doesn't she pull her 16 year old kid off the road and put him back in school? what the hell is with hollywood?
An insider said: 'It was the big what-if of the tour - whether Eddie could stay sober. Wolf hates it when his dad drinks. He knew Eddie was drunk that night, and was acting cold to him, which set Eddie off. Eddie went berserk and started yanking guitar cables from the pedal boards and throwing cigarettes around onstage.
'At the end of the concert, Eddie was so mad at Wolf, he punched the amp speaker, knocking it over.
AWESEOME! i love van halen...one of my favs by far. They supposed to be comin to SPAC in NY sometime soon...i just hope that dave or eddy doesnt turn to dust on stage from thier age lol jk
I don't think Eddie's drinking again - I think that the HARD partying life he lived has taken its toll on him. He just looks like he'll be a very unhealthy, delusional old man AKA OZZY, if he makes it that far.
I saw them opening night in Charlotte, NC. It was increadible, better than when I saw them in '84. One of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot! Eddie's drinking again. That's what's wrong.
Fuck you, that man is too good for that hypocritical bitch. She's always smack talking him for partying, when she was right there doing the same thing with him.
So many comments from a fucked up bunch of haters....
How many of you jealous 50 year old fat ugly celebate partiers feel good enough to perform perfectly everynight? Eddie can puke in the middle of the stage and display more talent than 99% of you could ever muster on your best day. FUCK YOU ALL and God Bless Eddie Van Halen.
The inflatable mic idea was stupid...and Ed is having some problems...when I saw them in October they seemed to be doing pretty well but now in February they seem to be having some troubles...I hope everything will work out and they will be able to release a new album...but it doesn't look too good..
This footage is telling. It's the LAST time VH played before they cancelled 2 other shows in Feb (not announced), went on a week long break, and of course before the recent postponed shows announcement from yesterday.
I was at this show. I thought Eddie played better than he has in year. Two, Dave has never been about the singing, listen to some bootlegs from '83-'84. It's all about the showmanship & music and I thought they hit it on both counts
TWO THINGS HERE: 1) DLR'S voice is shot, from months of constant touring. True, he never was a good singer technically but @Oakland in Dec he at least matched his performances on the albums. (See below for #2.)
Here's 2) Eddie ain't "drunk." He looks more PISSED OFF than anything. You can almost see him kicking his guitar after he threw it down. EVH isn't staggering around the stage and came out for the curtain call. So an amp got in the way as he was leaving? Sounds like his sound disappeared in the 2nd half of the song.
The footage is telling? Were you there, because I was. I saw them in 2004 & Eddie was clearly shitfaced. I'm telling you, it was just different this time. Also I saw DLR a couple of years ago at a private gig for my company. His voice while OK was never up to the quality of the albums. And they played two shows after this one. One was in Jacksonville and my brother said it was 100 times better than in 2004 also.
Eddie, you are breaking my heart man!! I know that DLR's vocals arent what they were, but Vh rocked Philly in Oct and I can't wait, hopefully, to see them in Hershey. This is just horrible and looks to me like EVH is drinking heavy again, I hope they are just drying him out and he can get back to being sober. Sobriety is a daily thing, so let's say a prayer this is a minor setback and his LIFE can be rendered healthy. Than maybe we can finish this tour and get a new album next year! Live strong
I left before the encore to beat the traffic and don't know what the guitar problem was all about. I saw them 3 times this tour and have to say this show was the best. I went to the show the week before and have to say they were just going through the motions. Especially Eddie. Dave, Al and Wolf were 100% on, but Eddie was just not into it. His solo was all over the place and he just seemed out of it.
Steve, fix the problems on stage. to all u other idiots- have u ever played on a stage like this with a really bad head cold? the answer is no! you can lose your equilibrium.
As far as eddie is concerned....he is a tone chasing GOD!
I saw them in Tampa on 2/18 and it was funny it seemed like DLR's vocals were "mixed down" and listening to this clip I now know why. He can't hit the notes any more!
I hope that it was just equipment problems, and not health related issues that are causing this postponement.
I saw them New Orleans on the 2/8 and they were RIGHT ON! Edddie didn't look like he was having anything but a great time. As was the crowd. In this vid, it looks like he may be having some guitar problems. I play guitar and there is nothing more frustrating than having axe problems when your playing.
I was at the New Orleans show on 2/8 and they were most definately not "right on". It wasn't as bad as this, but other than the nostalgia factor, it was not a good concert.
You must have seen a different concert than I. I'm watching the videos I made, right now, and they look great to me. Friends told me that the sound wasn't as good on the sides. I was in front.
J*sus Chr*st! Man this is rock bottom for VH. Eddie - quit your fucking drinking already or just stop the "career" for honor's sake. Wolfie - go away, quit trying to fill shoes you never will. And Dave - geez man...EMBARASSING. This is unfortunate.
KataVideo No actually his tounge cancer came from the metal pick that he always put in his mouth.And I'll tell you something else i saw LesPal 10 years ago when he was about 80 and his fingers were all narled from artritis and he still kicked ass.Shame on you EVH...
So.. father-of-the-year evh is plowed, can't play the solo on "jump", knocks over a bunch of amps.. role model insists cigarettes didn't cause his cancer and chain smokes..
the remaining vh tour is now canceled or postponed while evh takes care of "medical issues".
vb would rather sell crap on oprah than pull her underaged son off of this moving train wreck, watching his father make a drunken ass of himself night after night.
again.. evh is plowed, can't play his own solo, is clearly going through "medical issues" (alcoholism? cancer came back?) while partying and smoking, knocks over a bunch of amps, all while his underage son is watching. yeah, that's the image I had of my Dad, too.. NOT.
and bertinelli isn't pulling her underage son off of this moving train wreck. nice.
i agree,mother of the year valerie..why write that book...embarrassed her son...she doesnt need the money...funny i saw her on larry king.. she says when u have problems in life just smile..and all will pass...sure lady..if i took eddie van halen to the cleaners in divorce court i could follow that philosophy...friggin cow...I BET SHE DOESN'T TAKE WOLF OFF THE TOUR WHEN EDDIE GOES BACK TO WORK..WHY?...CAUSE SHES A SELFISH PHONEY...BET SHE STILL TAKES DRUGS SHE LOOKS IT I SAW HER ON RACHEL RAY
Come on, everybody knows Eddie is a racist dirtbag that was cheating on Valerie for 20 years. Kurt Cobain wouldn't even jam with him because Eddie is such a miscreant. That being said, he ONCE was a great inventive artist.
valerie is a dirtbag to..her 16 year old son goes on a high profile concert tour and shes uses that time to release her book..its tuff enuff being 16 with all the peer pressure and changes u go thru but your mom to put out a book telling how she eats pussy, does drugs, sleeps around etc...not fair to wolfgang...she sucks to...
you have too be kidding me...i'm a kurt fan and the notion of kurt jamming with eddie van halen sickens me.that has too biggest nightmare of a cobain fan....c'mon,i'd rather see/hear kurt jam with courtney love....oh,crap....
again.. evh is plowed, can't play his own solo, is clearly going through "medical issues" (alcoholism? cancer came back?) while partying and smoking, knocks over a bunch of amps, all while his underage son is watching. yeah, that's the image I had of my Dad, too.. NOT.
and bertinelli isn't pulling her underage son off of this moving train wreck. nice.
Umm I don't hear EVH complaining when he is making $300.000 per show so lets all stop making excuses.If he was not ready he should have never started this tour simple as that.
Ya know you guys are retarted!! Thats old school rock and roll shit. Throwing down you guitar and kick over some amps!Damn he's still one of the best guitarist around. It was said he had cancer awhile back.You try dealing with that shit,see how you make out..
And by the way Remember it took EVH to read the internet to have all his disgusting teeth fixed.And when he attended a show for his freind from the house of pedals did you see his Boots all duct taped together like a fuckin bum and all that nonsence of him sayin that was the first pair of boots he brought when he became famous IS THIS A SANE PERSON????
Well, I have to say that I forgive Dave for all his bullshit. I really believe after watching some of these videos that Eddie really has been the problem all these years. I remember when Alex and Eddie said in the interview back in '96 that Dave was a lot different than he was in "84. Well I think the one that changed, addiction or not, was, and is Eddie. Dave came prepared and it seems that as the tour has winded down, Eddie did not. It's a shame his son has to witness it.
Well then sully I guess if he was that sick they should not have announced a tour which people spent alot of money to see correct? He made enough money from this cash grab now he can go back to drinking his smoking loon. PPL get your heads out of your asses EVH is a Drunk.
Where Ozzy did not show and VH played that night and then again 4 nights later and stole the damn show. David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen are what Rock and Roll is all about. Case closed. Fun, Fun and loud music. I am stil hoping they make it to the Cincinnati show re-scheduled for April 22nd. ButI am not counting on it. If there are any real VH fans out there you will be praying that Eddie survives this ordeal.
Eddie is not drunk. He has cancer! Get it motherfuckers? Check out the sound of Poundcake at the 4:45 second mark of this video. That is the point when he throws down the guitar. Fuck all you who do not understand. It is really sad to read where people think they know what is going on in his life. I have seen this tour 6 times and it is great. Van Halen never performed perfectly in the 70's or 80's and that is OK with me. Matter of fact, I was at the Black Sabbath show in 1979 in Nashville TN
dang' love that!

at show in nj...sound was horrible...needs better equipment and speakers, and backing vocals aka mike anthony...why can't there be roth and hagar singing (YES TOGETHER)...christ both made van halen not just one of them...we should just all grow up except that van halen has rocked from the beginning and are on "break" ever since sammy was first fired back in the mid - 90's...if you want ot complain about v/h singers, gary is the man to complain about...HAVE A TRUE REUNION TOURS/ALBUMS/BAND

Is JUMP the only #1 hit that Van Halen ever had ?

Only #1 single on the usa hot top 100...but ont the us mainstream rock list they had 13 #1 hits (3 with david, 9 with sammy, and 1 with gary)

I think they made a mistake extending their concert from Aug/Sept? 07 for that long. Take a 2-3 month break and then continue, whatever Eddie's drugs/drinking problem are,
he needed a break. Good for Wolfie for standing up to him-probably the only reason
he got help again. Stange, the wisdom of a 16 year old...maybe will save Eddie's life.

VAN HALEN iz killer period. Hagar has better songs solo than he did with V.H. U-no! What puts them,[ as in V.H. with Roth or with Hagar] over the top as a group iz EDWARD VAN HALEN. U-no! and most important , can't 4-get about hiz brother Alex ,he's a KILLER Drummer! An awesum pair! We r b-ing treated to two people that the Rock-n-roll Godz have brought 2-gether to give uz Van Halen muzic-a! There muzic is as good as Zep, The Who, or any Heavy- Metal group that has ever hit the Planet! DIME4EVER

The thing is, Hagar was known of, b/4 he joined Van Halen. Hagar became very known of after he joined Van Halen. Van Halen owned the world way b/4 he got with them.They say you will return to your roots b/4 its all said and done.Alex, Eddie, and Roth are the reason. It's just a shame it had to bust up in the first place.Listen 2 sum videos from vintage 84 concerts,and then listen and view now. Just like Roth says in the P.R. conference."Better than it ever F**k-n was!"

I also feel bad for people who pay the kind of money that this group is charging. Most working-class people like myself can't really afford it to begin with, but when the performances are shoddy and they can't stay in key, then you feel like you've really wasted your money. Eddy really screwed up by leaving Michael Anthony out. There would be people standing in line if they had left him and Haggar in the lineup. In my opinion, Haggar was the better singer.
Mitsy1212 4 years ago
that is definitely your opinion. but i don't care about the singing because i can listen to the album....however, i crave the presence that only DLR can bring to the stage. Haggar is fine as a solo artist....but David blows him away on stage.
avth76 3 years ago
Then I doubt that I'll go to the one in St. Louis. I've read that VH sold a LOT more records during the years that Hagar was the singer. Imagine that. So why would I want to go and spend out the nose for songs that only David Lee Roth sung 22 years ago? I think I can save my hard-earned cash on this group.

You should probably save your money and buy some crappy tickets to the next Hannah Montana show or Good Charlotte or some other crap.

avth76 3 years ago
yes, Van Hagar sold more albums because sammy wrote some of the GAYIST songs for that era....and when you play to the market....you can sell anything....as long as it's "mainstream"...and that's what Van Hagar played to....so yes, he sold more albums...but that doesn't mean shit. the Macarena was a #1 hit!! Van Halen beats Van Hagar ANYDAY!
avth76 3 years ago
YOUR opinion, but NOT mine. I did not like ALL the songs with Hagar OR with Roth, but by far there were more hits with Hagar and no one car argue with that. If I go to a concert, I don't pay to see a clown perform; I pay to hear someone sing--not pretend he's a circus act. And yes, I'm sure David & Eddy will have infighting going on before it's over.
Mitsy1212 3 years ago
I feel sorry for the people of Ft. Lauderdale! Tickets are not cheap! Some of us have to save up several months just to buy tickets and then to have Ed perform while drunk? Instead of Ed saying Thanks, he should have said Sorry! That's probably why he threw his guitar down, maybe he should have given it to one of the poor souls in the audience. I'm an HUGE VH fan but I also have a family to support so I expect to get my money's worth at a concert. Hope Ed is sober when they come to Dallas!

I am considering going to the St. Louis concert in April IF I can scrape up the cash. However, I read somewhere that they are not singing ANY of the Sammy Hagar songs that made VH famous.

Ed had been drinking for years and kicking ass. Ed's issue is hearing loss. He can't hear what's going on, hence his playing out of key and flubbing around on the guitar. He'll get it taken care of soon, the tour will resume and Ed will kick ass.

I am glad I saw this clip. I was there this night. A song or two before Jump we saw Ed fall over his pedals and knock the mic over and lay there 50 seconds regaining his composure while DLR laughed giving Ed thumbs up. After the number Ed ranted to his tech. Seeing the show continue I thought that all was well. As soon as they finished I split. I didn't see the cabinet get knocked over until seeing it here. Looks coincidental that DLR is nearby. Ah, so he was drunk. Now it makes sense.

TWO THINGS HERE: 1) DLR'S voice is shot, from months of constant touring. True, he never was a good singer technically but @Oakland in Dec he at least matched his performances on the albums. (See below for #2.)
SFMILLVALLEY 4 years ago
Here's 2) Eddie ain't "drunk." He looks more PISSED OFF than anything. You can almost see him kicking his guitar after he threw it down. EVH isn't staggering around the stage and came out for the curtain call. So an amp got in the way as he was leaving? Sounds like his sound disappeared in the 2nd half of the song.
SFMILLVALLEY 4 years ago
The footage is telling? Were you there, because I was. I saw them in 2004 & Eddie was clearly shitfaced. I'm telling you, it was just different this time. Also I saw DLR a couple of years ago at a private gig for my company. His voice while OK was never up to the quality of the albums. And they played two shows after this one. One was in Jacksonville and my brother said it was 100 times better than in 2004 also.
BigBob5660 4 years ago
Eddie, you are breaking my heart man!! I know that DLR's vocals arent what they were, but Vh rocked Philly in Oct and I can't wait, hopefully, to see them in Hershey. This is just horrible and looks to me like EVH is drinking heavy again, I hope they are just drying him out and he can get back to being sober. Sobriety is a daily thing, so let's say a prayer this is a minor setback and his LIFE can be rendered healthy. Than maybe we can finish this tour and get a new album next year! Live strong

Well, I have to say that I forgive Dave for all his bullshit. I really believe after watching some of these videos that Eddie really has been the problem all these years. I remember when Alex and Eddie said in the interview back in '96 that Dave was a lot different than he was in "84. Well I think the one that changed, addiction or not, was, and is Eddie. Dave came prepared and it seems that as the tour has winded down, Eddie did not. It's a shame his son has to witness it.

Fun, Fun and loud music. I am stil hoping they make it to the Cincinnati show re-scheduled for April 22nd. ButI am not counting on it. If there are any real VH fans out there you will be praying that Eddie survives this ordeal.
Untill later....Dance the Night Away!!!!!!!!

Eddie is not drunk. He has cancer! Get it motherfuckers? Check out the sound of Poundcake at the 4:45 second mark of this video. That is the point when he throws down the guitar. Fuck all you who do not understand. It is really sad to read where people think they know what is going on in his life. I have seen this tour 6 times and it is great. Van Halen never performed perfectly in the 70's or 80's and that is OK with me. Matter of fact, I was at the Black Sabbath show in 1979 in Nashville TN

Saw them at the Texas Jam, July 1978. Cotton Bowl, Dallas. They were a backup band. 8 times since then.
