1977? Van Halen didn't put out their first album until the following year. That jerk off is from A & E. I bet the farm he can't name one VH song. Not even the one Dave's singing here!
This was great! Even if you didn't care for this version, you ought to appreciate it for showcasing the talent of both the Boston Pops and DLR's amazing voice.
music should be like this.players shld be like these..the evening must go as planned w/o hesitation,classics or pop or what-have-yous,as long as you play for the joy of it...much so on the dining table: eat your greens,son.
OMFG what on earth happened here? If this is Dave's idea of a successful comeback then he got it way wrong. He looks like a gay hairdresser. It would have looked better if Robin WIlliams had come on and copied him. Sorry Dave but you look a mess and the embarassing air kick at the beginning made me wince and as for the stick twisting or whatever it's called,, ouch. I'm surprised you didn't bring on pom poms to add to the finale. Highly embarrassing. Dave Lee Roth the man of rock?
" The man who came out in front and changed the world of rock 'n roll forever --- he is the one, the only David Lee Roth! " ---- well at least the bald asshole said something right
I don't care what you say about DLR, he is the greatest, love him in concert, gives you much more than what you paid for, great show, wonderful smile, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Let's see you do what DLR does and be 55 yrs old. Love him ! Rock on Dave !
i would love to drop the WTF Bomb right about now i mean really? WTF dave you should have just settled out you differences with eddie instead of this complete bullshit
His voice is shot-sounds like he's been up for 3 days. Too bad Dave thinks he is Van Halen-the ego on the guy is amazing. On the other hand I guess that's what made him a great front man back in the day. Always a self-deluded ass though.
Youre right, a passive frontman would have never ever made it. David shot his voice cause he always gave all he had. Sad how some people bash him for having shot his voice. Imagine that, he gave all he had and ran his voice to the grorund and he is bashed for it? I got much respect for him.
@Gregorypeckory He Fronted the money and effort that started van halen. He also Made five multi platinum albums Haggar only made four. It's not the singing like American Idiot does. It's Rock dude. And he's been a huge part no doubt.
Personally, I'm giving Dave a break here. He was a VERY physical performer in his youth. And he made his break as a very energetic singer with VH. He was young, good-looking, and physically superior to any frontman before or since (flips, splits, karate kicks, etc). So it's inevitably sad to see someone with those qualities age and change. But I'm still a fan. He still seems to be the same self-confident Dave who just enjoys being on stage. He's still the greatest frontman in rock history.
@johncopey Looks awfull???? are we looking at the same video??? Diamond Dave is the man!! great song,,I've never heard it done better!! Those are top notch musicians backing him up and they sound great!! I'd rather see these guy's backing him than I would eddie,alex and mike...looking at it objectivley
The sad part....is that there are times when you see a glimpse of the great one....then the fat violinist in the blue shirt jumps off the orchestral riser. Oh and the town hall health care screamin lady at 1:05
this is the greatest i love it i love dlr and he is the greatest singer ever sammy was a good singer but only in consert but i love VAN HALEN there the best
This was actually pretty cool. I'm sure it is an honor to be asked to sing with the Boston Pops and it looks like it was for some celebration like the 4th or for some troops. And his voice is in good shape.
I have some cds of Brazil's Van Halen and a vinyl disc that land him on the cover it scale a mountain. I found very nice. David Lee Roth with this one looks younger and accompanied by a osquestra is fantastic. May God bless you and bless your family. Abraços
1977? VH's first album was Feb 1978 you bald headed moronic dipshit. HA! Anyways, this is so embarrassing. WTF was DLR thinking? I bet Edward, Al, Mike and Sammy were laughing their asses off! Dave GOTTA EAT!
This was recorded in the summer, of 2004, and Dave looked like shit, with that hair and he was so fat! He looks a lot better now, with the modern hair cut, and he has had the fat sucked out of him!
The ultimate entertainer? More like the ultimate idiot! WTF?! This is the GAYEST shit I have ever seen a former rock star do. Talk about embarrassing. I loved DLR back in the VH days but this...this is just plain stupid. I can't believe he did this. Yeah, he had all the grandma's and grandpa's fired up didn't he?!
Actually, Bart Walsh has been Dave's main guitar guy forever, and knows all the ED stuff inside and out. Bart is a good guy and a maniac on guitar since the mid 80's.
But alas, no one does it like ED. You are correct on that...EVH does rule all...
this is awesome. everyone young and old are having a great time. dave is making everyone smile. he might be an asshole offstage, but he's almost untouchable when he's on it.
I saw this when it was on TV. After the concert, they interviewed Keith Lockhart and asked him how he knew the words. I think he said something like, "Well, I went to college..."
dave, there are people who say you cant sing anymore. theyre retarded. your voice sounds just a bit older, but still pretty damn good! cant wait to see what you and the van halens have for us! ill see you in Phoenix on the 23rd!
