The only one out of "sync" is Dave. The band isn't perfect but it sounds fairly tight to me. It's easy for these hyper shuffles to fall off the tracks but this didn't.
they sounded off the whole beginning of the tour. once they came back from the break in the middle of the tour, they sounded a lot better and more cleaner. For example my chicago video of them. This concert was 1 of the couple of concerts that started off the tour.
@dshannon5 Yea, I've got to agree. Seems as if Alex just kind of ran wild with the beat on this one and Dave and Ed just tried to stay with him. Waiting anxiously to hear what they've come up with out of the studio!
Not a good day for Dave. He is singing out of tune in every video from Cox Arena. Eddie, Wolf and Dave singing together are also out of harmony. Terrible. Sorry, but VH and Dave has had much more better gigs than this one. Maybe monitoring problem or... dunno
When you sit directly in front of a live band who is playing very loud, there are always some uncontrollable audible dynamics in the air and they have a tendency to distort pitch. That's the unfortunate aspect of having floor seats that are close to the stage.

so was your question rethorical...were you having a meltdown... or are just queen douche?
And if going on tour JUST to make money and destroy the memories of what a great band it used to be.... you are right... I HAVEN'T DONE THAT! Nor would I..
Wow great version...gives me new hope...both of them were having as Eddies said it recently,.....a blast. Good things sometimes comes o those who wait.
wolfgangs did come out. they've been out lol. yeah dave doesnt sound his best, but lets see how well you sound when you're 54!!! he sounds pretty dang good for his age! most singers get this way anyways. and i havent heard ANYTHING about a new album...so probably no more touring >:(. but hopefully they will.
wow look at that jump at the end. I'd like to see any other normal 53 year old do that hahaha. Look at how excited he was at the end too that was cute.
I sat front row for one of their last concerts this tour, and this video does not do dave or the band justice at all. Dave may not hit all the top notes anymore, but he MORE than makes up for it with more charisma and energy than any front man in the biz. I used to like Sammy more, till I saw dave live finally... ;-)
What I think about Dave's singing is pretty simple. Dave never had a great voice, he didn't really have much musical talent. But, he did have the looks and the charisma. That's what made Dave. Now that he's 50 something years old, he's not necesarily very good looking anymore. He still sings OK, but he won't be like he was in 84.
dave's great with some blow up his nose and going blah blah blah,he's full of shit.he's just back in to get the pay check anyway.w're all little dreamer,nothing else will come after the tour
Who is the same when they are in their 50's as opposed to in their 20's or 30's!? It's all about the music anyway and where would they be without it!?
Dave must have been watching a lot of vintage Tom Jones lately. Look at him between 1:10 to 1:20 and 2:15 to 2:25. Dave was and will always be the best frontman for VH no matter what, IMO. The dude ROCKS!!!
I'm getting sick of the haters saying Dave and the band sound like shit. DLR was never known for the perfect voice live. Check out some live 80's footage, and you'd agree that this tour they brought their A game. They didn't disappoint the REAL VH fans.
yeah david lee roth's voice is awesome in the 70 & 80 videos.. I listen to them every day. I've listend to them from day 1..you know shit about fanhood or rock N roll.. daaa they didn't disappoint the real vh fans..you must be a woman..
Awesome that they resurrected this really old song from the first album!
They haven't played this song in concert since the 70's, and it's one of the definitive VH songs. It shows everything that is great about this band: virtuosity, showmanship and humour.
Thank Wolfie for the set list-daddy let him pick it. This is a gem. Wish they would have done the vocal break. They did it during the LA rehersal videos and it sounded great.
GG - it is spam, and your page sucks. Your "videos" are nothing more than slide shows of pix taken from magazines, backed with admittedly rare *audio*.
they seem to be doing better than when me and my son seen them in indianapolis happy new years because i get to see them again at u.s. bank arena 25 minutes from home!!!
I was at the indianapolis show too! It was awesome, but your right...they look like they've ironed out all the kinks since that show. I plan on going to their columbus or cincinatti show...it should be awesome!!
Dave doesn't sing it like the record AT ALL. He's come up with some sort of easier, repetitive way to sing it. NOT COOL.
