  • longest intro ever

  • I was there! Looking forward to the tour, if I can get a good ticket.

  • How Fkn Kool ...DAVE U ROK

  • I would have killed to be there

  • diamond encrusred es-355????? HELL YES!!! THATS BADASS

  • 2:41 - Dudes got some pipes!

  • In Wikipedia, under "Best Rock Front Man", there's a link to this video.

  • AT 5:45, Ed & Al said "Fuck this shit, this motherfuckers talking too fuckin' much" & kicked into the song. At 7:24 Roth stops the tune to do his impression of Janis Joplin (which is one thing that will never be the same, after all these years), it's HILARIOUS but it drags on.

  • Oh man I was at that concert! I was with three of my friends. What memories!

  • looks like a Paul Stanley / hamer style guitar.. hey he is in Standard tuning , no E flat here..i thought they always performed in e -flat guess not,,the critics must have been really on him, this reminds me of when i 1st saw them in Orlando, Florida, they opened for the Stones, should have been the other way around, they were alot better.

    anyhoot- he mooned the crowd & said it was for the critics who had called him an a**hole in the paper the day before on opening night.

  • Am I the only one who actually said "fuck you" with him?

  • Thank YOU for Sharing!!!!

  • his guitar is out of tune

  • 3:35 "...I don't know where the critic is right now, but I'm right here babeh nawdi'm sayuuuuh......"

  • GOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO CATCH THESE GUYS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES WITH IN TWO WEEKS GREAT SHOW BOTH TIMES!! VAN HALEN WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY FOR THE MUSIC THEY MADE!! TOO BAD FOR THE LSD ( LEAD SINGER DISEASE) HAPPENS TO THEM ALL!!!

  • thats a great speech..!!

  • Awesome! Homely babilay zeebilay boobilay homeley babiley zibeley bop!

  • Awesome!

  • That's one of the best solo's over a 12 bar blues on earth. EVH is an amazing rock god.

  • Dave is awesome!

  • Dave is funny shit lol

  • FUCKIN AWESOME DAVE !!! see you in BRISBANE AUSTRALIA SEPTEMBER 2011 !!!!! Thanks for Posting

  • washington ? maryland :)

  • VH ROCKS SO HARD and they are 4-sure one of the top 5 Bands to ever perform live!!!!!!!

  • saw that guitar in the hard rock in vegas looked all beat up sum of the dimonds fell off so much mojo on it. it aint even funny lol rock the fuck on fellas owwwwww!

  • Dave is way to much into his self and does not share well with others. He ruined the song not letting the Van Halen bros cut loose with thier magnificent guitar rifts in that preformance. Dave is truely a gifted guy but his overbearing personality eventually broke up the band.

  • @off2theright You are an idiot. This is one of the times they take a break while the show goes on !!!

    EVH is GOD

    PISS on YOU

  • @off2theright There is suppose to be a new album out real soon including Roth. (as of July 2011) But will they get out on a live tour togeather??

  • @off2theright this is what bands do to give the band a break.

  • Cap Centre was the Bomb!

  • holy smokes.............DAVE PLAYS GUITAR!!!!

  • @80sRockIsKing Yep. DLR plays on this song on the original album, as well as Could This Be Magic off the Women and Children First album.

  • @peterp21 oh cool. i havent heard that one yet.

  • I was there.

    

  • 1 2 3 FUCK YOU!!!!

  • @BaldSteve007 Makes you feel better, doesn't it?

  • Dave fucking kicks ass

  • yes David, its out of fuckin tune

  • Wherever that critic is..... FUCK YOU!! God I miss Diamond Dave...

  • Eddie was in great form :)

  • Cameraman should be shot for not getting up on Ed's hand during 'the stretch'..

  • he is the KING! love that rhinestone guitar...would pay anything for that one

  • this isn't from 82

  • @Suuperman5461 This is indeed from the 1982 Diver Down tour. What makes you think this is not from 1982?

  • DAVE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DOING, BUT PLEASE STOP. You sound better on my CD.

  • Talk, talk, talk, talk... that's all he ever did in concert. The band must have been pissed. But then again, Eddie and Alex may have been using this "down-time" to take care of their own 'business...'

  • That kicked ass!

  • Wow, I've never seen Dave play a guitar before.

  • @jimmyboy131 thats because he cant

  • @jimmyboy131 You can tell by his fret hand that he knows how to play, too.

  • Van Halen and David Lee Roth were so just so fucking cool back then.

    1978-1984 - the cool Van Halen years.

  • @louielovett that is true, but there were some good Sammy Hagar songs,' why can't this be love' and 'from afar' are the only ones really worth mentioning to me, the rest just kind of suck lol

  • Man, when I saw VH on the Diver Down tour, Dave had NO VOICE AT ALL. I never knew he could sing live. This link was awesome. Van Halen was a FORCE. The powerful-sounding name goes perfectly with the band's style.

  • And NO fat kid on Bass - ROCK AND ROLL!

  • Christian, none Christian, I grew up on this guys (lol) 

  • Baltimore Washinfton is the greater metropolitan area,this concert was taped at the Capital Center,located in Landover Maryland,virtually right between the 2 cities,1982...I was a senior in high school and attended this show,but unfortunatly i was way way in the back !! lmao

  • Dude needs a tuner

  • @wingsticks Dave only needs chaps and a mic

  • i love van halen but they just sound like noise when they play live (imo)

  • @1961gibson

    Pretty much any rock band sounds like that. They turn it up way too much, so our ears are overwhelmed. The only one I've seen live that didn't was Pink Floyd. They sound much like a CD player that was turned up a bit much, but not that much. Even Rush is too loud live. (Looking forward to seeing them again in June!) But this is one of the reasons I prefer not to be so close to the stage. I

  • Diamond Dave's my Hero. J.

  • @Infinity Nebula DLR has said in intervies that his on stage inspiration was Jim Dandy...so yea....

  • I fucking love Van Halen. But fuck sakes Roth sing the damn song.

  • @t3hPoundcake Dude learn to appreciate Dave's great inreraction with the audience

    thats the point

  • Thanks for posting this, I was at this concert, so thanks much for the memories!!!!

  • kkkkkkkkk

    david may be gay, but its the best :S

  • @DcCoO daves not gay. hes a black belt in muay thai or some shit. hed kick the shit out of anyone posting on this vid. or website for that matter

  • @DcCoO Dave's not gay dude he would Dropkick youir ass trust me LoL

  • 7 people got ran over by the ice cream man.

  • awesome 335 daves got there

  • that's the most lucid I've ever seen Dave and the solo for this song is one of my favorite ones. Ed in his prime. Nice find!

  • @NastyNick2 I Think Dave was on cocaine. I saw him in 1990 and he was very subdued

  • Baltimore Washington? Really?

  • DLR is the Best rock frontman ever~!!

  • @InfinityNebula yes thats true but trees breath h2o too lol thanks

  • @InfinityNebula Paul Stanley!

  • @InfinityNebula You got that right... brothaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

  • I grew up listening to this group. They definately have five stars. They certainely dont make music like that anymore. You were right about that critic, you go Dave!!!

  • they really were the shit! friggin' awesome! A+++++

  • Dave looks a bit like Klaus Kinski in the beginning of the video.

  • this is proof that no one else could ever be the true voice of van halen

  • @EVHguitarz

    Dave is looking like Klaus Kinski in his maddest scenes in the beginning of this video. I just love.

  • i love this song!!!!

  • whats amazing is how drunk dave has gotta be and they still kill em.

    ps. why are people still having wars on youtube? its youtube! come on

  • i know who diamond dave is...who the fuck is bieber?

  • this is for all the critics...F***CCKK YOU!! lol

  • @acdcfenderman  the loser is now a paramedic in N.Y. ha,ha, go figure.. jew boy is all washed up

  • I think this just might be the best vh clip i have EVER seen. Magic.

  • This video clip is a Goddam Masterpiece!

  • @WhiteArmy1918 goes to show how little you know

  • @nihonjinonnanochitsu ,show me any other music clip here on you tube that has as much energy,passion and humor all rolled together in one,you can't,just face it,this video clip is a goddamn masterpiece!

  • @WhiteArmy1918 Justin Bieber has tons of them.. 240 million hits and counting.

  • @nihonjinonnanochitsu ,I tried watching that kid JB for 2 minutes and couldn't do it,today's music sucks bigtime,just cause a lot of people watch it don't make it good,millions of people are on crack cocaine,that don't make it good.

  • @nihonjinonnanochitsu ,oh I forgot to mention all the Van Halen fans could beat up all the little Justin Bieber fans real good,don't say they couldn't,it would be no contest.Stop watching and listening to today's crappy music.

  • @WhiteArmy1918 Any BIEBER girl fan could easily fuck little Wolfy up. Just a swift kick to his ballsack and Eddie....He is riddled with cancer. BIEBER can be the shit out of him with one hand. Bieber's mosh pits are intense..BIEBER/GAGA NATION!

  • @nihonjinonnanochitsu ,you did not pay attention to my post,it read that the fans of van halen could beat up the emo fans of little justin bieber,even if there were more fans of JB compared to the VH fans it would be like a million sheep against a thousand lions,if the band members of VH were to fight little Justin Bieber they would still win,please deal with it and stop living in fanastyland,come back to reality.

  • @WhiteArmy1918 one kick by Bieber to the ballsack of Van/Hager poser and the thousands of lions would run. Don't make me cum through these lines and prove my point by kickn your ballsack or is it a soft,moist,warm,tight genitalia?

  • @nihonjinonnanochitsu ,I hate to rain on your parade but justin Bieber has no staying power in a few years he will fade away like so many other boy bands out there,just wait and see.The R.I.A.A. has certified bieber's 1st. album as Plantinum,for one million U.S.albums sold,while Van Halen has been certified by the R.I.A.A. Diamond for ten million u.s. albums sold,80 million albums sold worldwide.I keep beating you down with facts and you keep comming back,give up emo please.

  • @WhiteArmy1918 whitearmy..hey, are you skinner??? I mean do you just have white people over your house? I mean is your favorite book, "My Camp"? Go back to your little focus group and search about more of your VanHager facts.. Keep them cumming.. NO not cumming, but comming..Dont get me started on cumming.. My army is The BIEBER BEAVER BRIGADE

  • @nihonjinonnanochitsu ,your rambling rant made no sense at all,take a chill pill,than come back to reality,The Bieber Beaver Brigade with emo soldiers like you should stick to playing video games,I feel so sorry for you,you seem like a lonely person with no friends at all,and you have so much hate and anger inside,seeing a psychiatrist would help you a lot,really it would,sayonara.

  • @WhiteArmy1918 YOur my YOuTube friend and PenPal.. I think I need electrical shock to my genitals by 3 Japanese Women Doctors.. They would be in their late 30's, long legs, long black hair, white white skin and their breasts not to big but not to small and they would have the blackest bushes you have ever seen.. I'd go to my therapy and they would not be wearing any panties and I'd see their black bushes.. i will look in the telephone book for these therapist

  • MrSd5150 what the fuck is a justin bieber that little gay boy couldnt lick the sweat off daves balls the little gay freak will be gone by next week come back after he has been around as long as van-halen till then shut the fuck up

  • @WhiteArmy1918 BeAVER BIEBER BRIGADE.. WE are more than 240 million strong and growing.. VAnHager????

  • @nihonjinonnanochitsu ,stop doing drugs ok!,if that is true tell all those emo fans to keep buying JB cd's until they 80 million albums sell,that's how many albums Van Halen has sold,but that will never happen,you just want to keep living in fanastyland,come back to reality goddammit !

  • @WhiteArmy1918 you a Poser/Iimo... so.....when do we go out for pizza? and don't be wearing any outdated Van/Hager t-shirt.. I'll give yu one of my Bieber buttons to wear .. you'll be styling now.

  • MrSd5150 what the fuck is a justin bieber that little gay boy couldnt lick the sweat off daves balls he has little talent and no staying power when justin whatever has been around as long as van-halen then you little emo boys can talk till then shut the fuck up

  • DLR playing guitar thats different.

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz dave fucked around for most of the vid i wanted the song for a full 9 minutes 15 seconds.

  • @frankenstrat25 Don't go on the road if your endurance is not there.. These guys need to only play 3 songs and come back after a 3 hour break and play another 3 and then once again take a break and come back for another 3 songs.

  • DLR is horrible in my opinion

  • @104trucker are you fuckin' high?

  • @corpsegrider666 he is fuckin gay! in all of his songs he jas to scream like a fuckin girl! nad he sings like one! Its my opinion so FUCK OFF!!!

  • @104trucker of course it's your opinion, you wrote it.. It wouldn't be mine or anyone elses..

  • Come on man...Eddie beats the piss out of Jimmy P.

  • @skid987 I'm a huge fan of Van Halen, so I'm not dissing Eddie, but he admitted he doesn't actually know how to play the guitar, I think. He just screws around, but I'm not sure.

  • @MelodicMonstrosity I forget who said it, but another famous guitarist once said, "You have to feel the music and let it flow through your fingers. My teacher always told me 'If you're thinking, you're stinking.'"

  • Quintessential David Lee Roth Kiddies.

  • 82' was a good year!!!!!!

  • @gbsjake Funny that you think you could live on a tour bus with Eddie Vanhalen and all you'd know is 3 chords.

  • David Lee Roth is so awesome!!!!!!!

  • Damn, Dave's funny.

  • A LOOOOOOOONG way to go to beat this band...My Friends !!!

  • van halen kicked ass and i saw them in dalas with billy squier in 1980

  • Jimi Hendrix……Edward Wofgang Van Halen……..Immortals in the realm of guitar…..Slash….Angus……please have a seat…….Jimi and Eddie…the best….

  • @pbpplt what about Jimmy Page?

  • @aguirrej12 My apologies....Jimmy Page is right there with them. Led Zepplin is just in a class by themselves, in my opinion...thanks for the reminder...Peace

  • @pbpplt --- I believe Mr. Page is the standard by which all guitarists are to be judged. That being said, we're lucky to have a few the measure up a bit. And I agree the LZ is in a class alone.

  • Funny how Dave's amp has a wicked buzz happenin'... Bwahahaha!

  • The Best, Dave... Come be my Ice cream man xxx

  • Dave was so blown n twisted. damnnn hahaa.

  • man roth is wasted AND I LOVE IT!!!

  • one of the great solos of all time.....

  • over drawn, its a brake for alex to drink more beer and do a bunch of blow .

    what is ed doing and m,a, pissin? good showman,honest game show hoste

  • verdadera musica y un gran guitarrista

  • DLR Forever the best! The whole package~ Crazy Bat Shit Crazy~ But the best there ever was.

  • "wherever he may be, wherever you are pal, fuck you"

  • DLR. A circus clown with no voice.

    Too bad VH bros didn't find a legit singer before the first recording.

    Today, he's a mental patient.

  • @TruthAxe good frontman, no other VH singer is as entertaining. The music they made with DLR was the best they made and he wrote the lyrics. End of story.

  • @nomadnomad666999 DLR is a good frontman? Hmm, if you consider a stage drunk who can't sing a good frontman, sure.

    Eddie, Alex and Mike made the music. DLR had nothing to do with it.

    Oh, and lyrics are for girls.

  • @TruthAxe Well if you are into endless fretboard masturbation, I see your point about lyrics. Unfortunately Eddie is the drunk, as we have seen over the years. I sincerely hope that his latest clean up lasts. i have not been impressed by his solos lately, compared to Live without a net period. Maybe its age, maybe its what he has done to himself. DLR is a legend, he does not need to sing 100%.

  • two words, Diamond Dave

  • Diamond David Lee Roth is one of the best frontmen EVER!!!!!!!!

  • eddies mad hot.

    id let david be my ice cream man, he was pretty fine lookin

    i love this bandddd<3

  • theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeee MAN!

  • I'd lick him clean!

  • Im SEX on a LOG baby

  • LOL Can everybody hear my guitar? Lol yes and it's fucking out of tune lol. I wish i couldn't hear it. :)

  • Man, Diamond David Lee Roth was sex on a stick back in the day. Giddyup!

  • Welcome to the world of record co"s not takin a "CHANCE" on actual talent

    CUT N DRY these days ...music 1010 has to sit within3:30 secs...GOOD for DAVE for the FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKK YOU I"m here...

  • No David Lee Roth = No Van Halen. When an enigmatic lead singer leaves a band, the band as it was when they made it big, it's just not the same band, imo. His voice & stage presence...and weirdness...was what helped them stand out. New VH couldn't make songs like these & RWTD even though Eddie is a great guitar player.

  • wherever you are... fuck YOU.

  • The fist show on the 11th, Dave got a few people chantting Eddie..Eddie while he did the intro...he came to a stop..just stood there for a few seconds untill they stopped..lol

  • Hell yes! There will NEVER be another front man like D L R!

  • @Deadsurfr this whole LARGO concert their on Fucking FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Deadsurfr DLR was great back in the day! But, as far as I'm concerned, Bon Scott and Dee Snider are the 2 best Hard Rock/ Metal frontmen in Rock n Roll History!!! S.M.F! You Can't Stop Rock n Roll!! It's a Long Way 2 TheTop...........

  • @bigkex Ahhh Bon Scott and Dee Snider cannot compare to DLT if anything they copied him you must be Joking LoL

    Thats ridiculous

    I could understand if you compared Freddie Mercury Robert Plant Steve Perry or

    Steven Tyler but the two you mentioned arent even close Steve Tyler gives Roth a run for his money though even Steve Perry!

  • @InfinityNebula I'm so noy trying to argue here, just pointing out, watch Jim Dandy of Black Oak Arkansas which outdates Van Halen by 10 years and I PROMISE you will see where he got some of his persona, no not his voice Dave definitely has the better voice but the stage presence is uncanny and even the look

    copy paste this in the address bar and see what I mean

    watch?v=SGAPhLK8qdk

  • @JahaysusKahrist I dont see the comparison-Just because Jim Dandy had long blonde hair without a shirt doesnt mean Roth copied him aLL ROCK stars did that before Dandy Look at Robert Plant or Jim Morrison

    Plant was wearing long blonde hair shirtless in the mid-sixties besides DLR was acrobatic on stage leaping off the drum platform doing splits in mid air so their is no comparison there I dont see it Roth was influenced mostly like Eddie by R&B acts in the 60s and 70s musically and on stage

  • @JahaysusKahrist Can definitely see the comparisons. But in the Dave's own simple way he's probably just admiring the dude. Guns N Roses were almost splitting images of Hanoi Rocks, only because they loved that band so much.

  • @vogstar90 IMO gnr was 1]2 scorpions and1/2 KIX.

  • @Deadsurfr apart from Freddie Mercury RIP xxx

  • @Deadsurfr : Forget the Singer, ... the real frontman was Eddy :):):)

  • @Deadsurfr van halen with roth is one of my favorive bands ever. but there was a frontman better than him.

    D I O

  • the good old days!

  • my head almost exploded with that scream ha the best VH love these guys i wish i was born to see them in largo

  • Best scream in the business

  • Does it say "Diamond Dave" on his guitar neck? What kind of guitar is that? Looks like a Gibson but it's probably a Epiphone copy.

  • It look like it says Epiphone i had to look at it real close.

  • gosh i was so pissed when vanhalen didnt take back david lee roth! HE MADE THE BAND!

  • There were more kids that went out and bought a guitar because of Eddie than ANY guitarist bar none. I was one of them. I heard him for the 1st time in 8th grade back in feb of 78 and heard eruption and couldnt even fathom what the heck he was doing. Greatest rock guitarist of all time. I love Zep, they made great albums that stood the test of time but Eddie influenced more guitarists and changed the whole genre single-handedly. just an awe inspiring player.
