[hittingnote75]

Does anybody have a better video of this i can't make out who else is on the stage other than Dave or Alex.

[theShowStopper321]

A live version of "Romeo Delight" where Dave doesn't fuck up the 2nd verse. Nice to see.

[sbrave]

@theShowStopper321 seriously....lol

[theShowStopper321]

Dave was great at playing up the crowd and making them feel like they were the best town out there.

Never seen this,Awsome energy of the Mighty Van Halen...Sunday Afternoon In a Park was a cool Intro to Delight, I thought. I bet it was a Great night to be Alive.

[joeycolts]

this is an amazing song the darkest coolest riff ever VH FOREVER

[stuh1975]

This is fucking great!!! Never knew they ever did this live.

[ksgwalter]

The Melvins should do a cover of this song.

[vampirebatt]

Its actually Eddie playing an Electro-harmonix mini-synth thru one of his famous phase shifters or flangers.....

[JohnJamesMaloney]

@vampirebatt Electro-Harmonix, is that a cheap little keyboard?, mostly made of cardboard, i say this cause i remember an old EVH interview, where Ed descrided this synth as a kids toy that had a touch sensitive membrane keyboard. When i hear Eddie play the thing it sound like a montrous Moog rig. Even his synths growl....awesome!

[skullkap1]

Saw this a day or so before in Nashville. One of my favorite concerts ever.

[topjimmy72]

always wondered how this was being played? is Michael Anthony playing this on his bass with an effects pedal?

[bosoxyaz8]

[chukhava]

happy to say I was at this show along with my friends Tom,Tommy,Cindy,and Todd.saw em 3 yrs in a row at The Mid South Coliseum in Memphis,79,80,and 81.I believe the openers in order were The Granatti Brothers,The Cats,and G Force

[VHFrance]

Thanks for the info. You're so lucky ! As got2chews said, there where untuchable back then.

[101stAirborneSince44]

@VHFrance BACK THEN?!??! MORE LIKE STILL!!!

[SpikeMichaels]

@chukhava I saw HALEN in 1980 on the 1980 INVASION tour, then like 1 year later on FAIR WARNING 1981, which was bad fucking ass....then, not on DIVER DoWN, but I saw em 2x on 1984...

[santacruz3600]

wow I never thought something like this would surface! I was at the Oakland Show '81 that was filmed & I remember this song performance, I always wondered how he did that tune live, If it's a mini moog synth how's he getting more than one note at a time? I recall only seeing one synth but that was a hell of a long time age!

[got2chews]

If you were there on June 12th then we were both there. I`m not sure what Oakland gig the 3 vids were from. They played on the 11th,12th and 13th.

[got2chews]

VH peaked live in `81 , no band could touch them back then.

[snewpers]

This was awesome back in the days... and it still gives me goosebumps.

[jimmy5150ify]

@snewpers TURNED-UP, ALL THE WAY!!!

[cmgkag]

This tour was my first concert ever, still chasin' the dragon - nothing to compare since.

[sheephider82]

@cmgkag

I saw them three days later in Jackson, Mississippi on Sept. 4, 1981, and it was my first concert too. I was 14. And, I too, am still chasing the dragon. While not musically perfect, the show was. The magic Van Halen created on stage was a once-in-a-millinuem deal. The Cradle Rocked and it rocked hard!
