  • Absolument ringard; Le firmament de Van Halen est loin derrière...

  • 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!

  • Dave is the best!!!!!!

  • He wasn't jumping very much in this :)

  • @gmrief hey, he is a gentleman, not even a young man :)

  • He took over where Elvis left off. 

  • Love

  • My fav jew I live david lee miss his radio show w animal

  • just amazing!!!!! Long live DLR!

  • Sir David Lee Roth = A REAL AMERICAN HERO

  • Wow!!! What a fucking disaster!!

  • Is that Harry Smith at the beginning?

  • This is Pathetic.

  • 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.

    Well done.

  • 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.

  • JUMP!

  • GREAT VOICE!!!!!

  • to call this jump eddie van halen must be in guitar and keyboard and alex must be in drums ,

  • Whether you like Sammy Hagar or not, at least Sammy wouldn't have committed blasphemy like this.

  • no one thinks of k.d. lang

  • spec-freakin-tacular! I love it!

  • This is just sad.

  • What the hell is this?/??????? OMG....A You Fucking Serious ?

  • Comment removed

  • Is that Tom Jones singing Jump?

  • what a dork

  • David Lee Roth will always be loved. Just love this performance.

  • OMG...Ray Luzier on drums...van halen for lawrence welk fans. i never thought that would happen.

  • Comment removed

  • Ya know for a guy that's been rocking since the 70's - this was a very good performance!

  • 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

  • That is sooo embarrassing.

  • wtf is this lol, fucken dlr i love him

  • 1:24 looks like Simon Cowell from American Idol hahaha

  • lol He's such a queerbait! lol

  • Takes some stones to do rock with a symphony -- Diamond Dave's still the greatest!

  • I hope its the camera, cause if it isn't he looks like he's 250 pounds!!!!

  • DLR 4EVER

  • " I have always been an optimist, most people bring bait when they go fishing, I bring a camera and a frying pan. " -Diamond Dave

  • I was there. Good time

  • I noticed he cut his hair short. He's back in business now. What a badass.

  • Dave was looking a little chunky here.......but he trimmed down and got back his athletic self on the glorious 2007-2008 Van Halen tour.

  • lol he looks like niel diamond here

  • @theicedman hahhahahhhahhahahhahahahahaaah­hah! Only fatter! I was thinking more along the lines of Mr. Holland's Opus.

  • 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 !

  • who is this fat man?

  • 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

  • Humor!

  • one word, PATHETIC.

  • Somebody say cheese,

  • 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.

  • He'll always be the Ringmaster of Rock n' Roll.

    "You people keep on raining. I'll still be the parade." - Diamond Dave.

  • When I asked my boss, whether he was a 'David Lee Roth' or 'Sammy Hagar' guy...he replied, "psshhh, David Lee Roth, are you kidding!" Fucking. Tool.

  • been my band since 1977 and then this,how pathetic.

  • Hahahaha Look what he lowered himself to! Sammy must of laughed his Arse when he seen this loser do this! Hahahah!

  • Dave looks awful here, thank god he got his hair fixed, and lost some weight!

  • @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

  • @johncopey To be fair, the picture looks... squished... here. I don't think Dave was as rotund here as he looks in this video.

  • Wtf man.

  • This is a great Diamond David Lee Roth performance !!!

    John Denner

  • DLR Looks like shit in this. It's unfortunate.

  • it aways great to see dave up there were he belongs , up on stage live .

  • hell metallica did it scorps did it why the hell not van halen next up queen?

  • 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

  • was this right before they did the 2007-2008 tour ??

  • July 4th, 2004.

  • Thrilling!!!

  • This is embarrassing. I can't figure our which is worse, this or the bluegrass version he did. Sacrilege. This has no balls. What a mess.

  • It's like the "lounge lizard" version. . . D.L.R. in his "fat Elvis" days. . .

  • 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

  • NICE!

  • Oh My God! This is one of the best things ever!! I love DLR forever!!!! I love whomever posted this glorious video! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

  • more and more inlove with DLR all over again!

  • There was once a piano player named Liberace...and Bill Gates dancing at about 1:05 proves this is a hot one!!!

    Let me know what you think...

    NaturalTV(tm)

  • Not as good as he jused to be, but I'm actually surprised that he didn't suck :)

  • God f'ing bless America baby! David Lee Roth for president biatches! 2012! xo

  • Good Cool.

  • Diamond Dave for President 2012.

    "The Independant Party"

  • Gotta give the thumbs up for entertainment (think cringe) value.

    FUCK ME SIDEWAYS, this is absofuckinglutely atrocious.

  • im a freakin rocker and to see this lets me know music is universal to all no doubt-- i can see what it means!! can you??

  • H.S., the least creative thing ever to crawl out of TV's garbage can, doing this gig.

    PEE YOU.

  • Man.........Dave turned just another boring 4th of July celebration into a foot-stomping, hand-clapping party!

    He's the greatest rock frontman who ever lived.........just look at that sea of smiles and that's all the proof you need, dummies.

  • Comment removed

  • wow! he knows how to swing that stick :-))

  • ''funny crowd'' -hehehehe

    keep on smiling,haha!!

  • what we didn't see was David backstage holding his back and calling out for aspirin

  • the man!

  • Good to see Dave up there just enjoying himself. It was always about having fun with Dave, and I think VH took their eyes off the ball back then.

  • If David had not meet Eddie we would have never heard of him.

    But hey he did remember the lyrics this time...

  • 1:40 that is murder. Where's Sammy when you need him? He would have nutted the white suited twat for simply being on his stage! This aint rock.

  • 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.

  • Greetings From New York !!!

    David Lee Roth You Are the Best !!! The Man Who Change the Story Of Rock ....

    We Love You ....

  • Tottaly!!! David Lee Rock ..ehe ehe sorry roth

  • Dave you are the best frontman ever! A true legend . Glad you lost the spandex haha. keep on rockin!

  • Dave is the man!!!

  • ahaha this is soo gay

  • David Comb Over Roth

    LMAO  LMAO

  • 1977?WTF?Jump came out in 1983...The first VH album came out in 79...meh...Schmaltz:(

  • 1:05 looks like Bill Gates dancing around. David Lee Roth should get his ass kicked by Sammy Hagar for this!

  • One word describes why David Lee Roth did this piece of shit. Money

  • 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

  • Fantastico !!!!! ver os idolos da nossa infancia agora mais de 25 após o disco 1984!!!!!

  • Fuck me sideways-what was DLR thinking.

  • you messed up the Dumb and Dumber quote. its "Well suck me sideways"

    way to go

  • IIt's my quote, not from the film, that's why-it's an 'Olde English' saying. Perhaps dumb and dumber stole the phrase?

  • 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!

  • I couldn't agree with you more.. lmao - DAVE GOTTA EAT!!!

  • 3:54 this Man Rocks! pretty cool

  • at 4:46

  • where are keyboards ? xD

  • it is a POPS orchestra there are no keyboards!!! how many orchestras have keyboards...come on now...!! your silly!

  • Dave actually grew up on Boston's North Show in the small town of Swampscott. Im sure this was a thrill of a lifetime for him

  • ... Hey Dave, Why not try country ?

  • 1:29 ROFL is Diamond singing with Matthew Modine? :D  cool vid!

  • Comment removed

  • 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!

  • And he wasn't even drunk. That's respect on Dave's part :)

  • The one, the only, Diamond David Lee Roth. Nuff said.

  • The Ultimate Entertainer. He had these people pumped up!!!

  • 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?!

  • Jump???

    Might as well!!!

    ;-)

  • lol the navy chick wanted to take dave "onboard" ROFL

  • wow that guy totally ruined the tapping to that solo...freaking idiot cant play

    only the man who created it can.

  • 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...

  • liked the bluegrass album.

  • I know this was a few years back, but look at how he grabbed that crowd of fuddy-duds and got them whipped up into a frenzy!

    Dave is the master showman of all time!

    Check out Bart Walsh on guitar!! Noice!

  • esp. 1:06. lol fuddy dud. lol frenzied fuddieduds sounds like something from the 80's. LOL

  • actually dave is 53 not 65

  • Pretty darn good. In my opinion better than the bluegrass version...NICE!

  • the guy needed the money to do such a thing...

  • 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.

  • its about fun....watch how much fun everyone has ? I almost got tears in my eyes watching this clip, ty ty :)

  • this would have been so much better with Van Halen. oh well.

  • That would have been something with Van Halen!!

  • 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..."

  • i think its pretty cool

  • What year was this anyone know?

    Thanks!

  • 2004

  • OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks!

    I bet that was the highlight of that show....

  • I love Dave, but he reminds me of Joe Pesi (sp?) in this video... LOL

  • That was great!! They should change the national anthem to this song. It epitimizes the American Free Spirit! Go Diamond Dave!!!

  • I laughed when one of the orchestra guys jumped at the end . . .

  • 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!

  • Dave, glad you guys are back!! Americas greatest rock and roll band Van Halen!

  • dave this is a cool remix from the origanal jumpyou are a creative guy and I admire you for that great to see you
