  • Dave sounds excellent, almost 1984 quality. 

  • Dave you still sound great and the new album is great.

  • I like how the video not once captures Wolfgang.

  • I agree that Anthony is missed but Chickenfoot is Boring.

  • Michael come back to this crap??? NO WAY!! He' right where he needs to be with a good kick ass rockin' band Chickenfoot!!

  • They look great! DLR sounds good for his age and Eddie still rocks, what are people talking about?

  • You sure this ain't the Tiger Jam?...I was there.

  • I was at this tour, it was amazing, I don't give a fuck what anyone says! Excellent job on the sound recording by the way!

  • jez, they've gone from shit to crap.. gonna go listen to some zep and black sabbath

  • Beautiful guys.

  • great sound what camera is this taken on?

  • They should get all fucked up on coke and Jack and go out one more time and burn out. Just let it all hang out and rock and roll to the death. Oh, and get M.A. back instead of playing his backing vocals. Dave was never the best singer live but the drugs and alcohol made him a great entertainer. I Love them but many of the live stuff lately is horrible.

  • Michael Anthony needs to rejoin band. Otherwise, vocals sound like crap

  • Can you say backing vocal track?!?! I distinctly hear Michael Anthony's voice in there. That sure ain't Wolfgang singing those high notes!!!

  • Dave's spent too much time in Vegas. He looks like he's forgotten how to rock.

  • They just kick ass. Even here 25 years later........

  • What happened to David Lee Roth's chest hair?

  • @bbequette1 they used his chest hairs for his hair transplate...when they ran out went to the pub ones..

  • @keithsa41

    Hahaha...that's fkn' funny!!!

  • @bbequette1 when you get old and run out of coke it falls out

  • Awful

  • i see that 4 dislikes have nevered played in a band... to all you poser wantabees... take note.. live life in the moment, every performance is unique unto itself... make the best with what tonight gives ya... that's the way Rock-n-Roll Go...

    mc ♪♫ ☺

    side note... if any of you guys can do better...then do it....and then put it up on you-tube...

    ya pussies...

  • VH albums always ROCKED...but THEY SUCK LIVE!!!

  • this is crap. sorry. DLR is too far gone and VH w/o MA's backing vocals is just wrong.

  • Sorry for the typo. :)

  • Nice mistakes Eddie!!

    

  • chickenfoot will never compare to the legends we see here say what u want in ten yrs vh will still be selling albums and people will say whos chickenfoot? and sammy is better on his own than with cfoot or vh!

  • I think Dave's trying to keep his false teeth from falling out. SHING IT! wHAT HAPPENED!! SHING IT! DAVE!! Eddy's guitar harmonizer or echo effects sound off too. Not up to Sammy's standards. I'm glad he left , showing the world what him and Mike Anthony can do with Chickenfoot . Move' on & move'n up!!!

  • THEY SOUND RAW AND GREAT AGAIN THE WAY THEY DID BEFORE sammy hagar WHEN THEY PUSSIED THEIR PANTS

  • They still sound damn good, dave got a mouth like large mouth bass and eddie looks like shemp for the stooges lol

  • A Chickenfoot lover bashing Van Halen? Meth is an illegal substance last I've heard.

  • Been a fan Van Halen since 78-Van halen doesn't sound to good now a days. Can't decide who's worst- DLR or Ozzy. Van Halen can't do it without Sammy and Michael.

    Chickenfoot blow this boys away!

  • Eddie's got an effect on his singing - that aint just his voice

  • @dockaiser The reason the vocal harmoneys sound so good is because they lifted Mike Anothys vocals from past recordings and used them for the tour. Mike didn't even know about the "reunion" until he heard it on the radio.

    Sad, but true.

  • @MrPecus Sorry but that is incorrect. I've also heard such rumours as "Wolf wasn't really playing, the bass lines were recorded". That is also a load of tripe. But believe what you want to.

  • The vocals sound awesome

  • It's David (I'm a Lawyer)Lee Roth!

  • THESE GUY'S R HAVING A FRIGGIN' GOOD TIME HERE !!!!!!...SOUND'S GREAT IN 2007!!!!

  • great live version of this song, i love how dlr switches it up

  • Best band in the world, thats it.

  • kDelPrete, youre a loser man. or woman, whatever- if you dont like my opinion, you can say so like a grown up, not insulting, just makes you look stupid. i happen to love van halen, but i definately love sammy over roth and mike anthony over wolfgang- and while wolfgang, eddie and alex are singing live backups, they have prerecorded backups mixed in.

  • I have to say - I think Eddie's guitar on this tour sounded cheap!

  • AWESOME! Dave looked right into your camera!

  • Unlike some other epic bands - Crue and AC/DC come to mind - the VH boys have not aged well. Something about this look they have now doesn't work. Eddie looks like a house painter who stole a guitar from the house he's working on, and Dave looks like the manager of a fucking bowling alley.

  • @beautifulsarah100 Yeah i know what u mean. i thought the same thing dude. i wish they looked the way they did in the 80's

  • sooo, Mike isn't good enough for filming? asswipe

  • holy shit! lol. i always suspected david lee roth sucked- and it shows here! a song that basically is talking- not singing. and it sucks- and the backups are SO OBVIOUSLY RECORDINGS! who do they think they are fooling?

  • @enyaguy And what band do you play in that's so fuckin' good? ...fucking dumbass...

  • @enyaguy The backups are not recorded you fucking moron.. yiou would be able to tell if they were and there not u fucking idiot.

  • Man, we need Michael Anthony back!

    Great to see you healthy again, Ed.

  • does anybody know if they are going to tour in the u.k in 2011 ?

    someone please reply... thanks

  • Comment removed

  • Definately not like it used to be, but still cool as fuck!

  • @rollrollroll1503 Saw them 5 times on this tour - both Vegas dates. All bands have good/bad nights.

    They were "fair" that night. Good in Philly, better in AC and great in NYC. The harmonies were fine without MA.

    Wolfie did fine in his place. Towards the end of the Tour, with Eddie out of rehab they were much better. You got Roth back. Be happy with that. Maybe MA will join up again down the road.

    JUST FRICKIN ENJOY IT AND STOP WHINING about who's better/whatever.

  • i love van halen and love em with dave but he needs to come out. hes gay

  • @regardingwave your gay

  • @rollrollroll1503 Sure, Uncle Rico. They sell 'em on the internets. You just stick your magic crystal in the top and hook the electrodes to your nuts and you're back in 1981 where you belong. You can even relive your chance to take that State championship. Best of luck.

  • if they just had Anthony back. the vocal sound would be there. And, he brings the energy.

  • @headlesssoldier

    excellent point about missing anthonys vocals

  • There is no doubt. Van Halen is not Van Halen without Dave.....AND M. ANTHONY!!! Ya-hear????

  • dave sounds more like a lounge singer!!!

  • @dakingdml yeah - but he ALWAYS did. And it worked.

  • again where's Micheal Anthony.

  • @melralphzoey eddie fired micheal anthony a few years ago for going on tour with sammy and calling themselfs teh other half of van halen.eddie says the other half of van halen is his brother alex.so he was mad and fired him.sure wish he was there though.

  • AL has been holdin this band together for 33 years!! My hats of to Big Al!!! Such a tight drummer

  • it really cool for Dave to be here and he does not sound too bad, but I just wish he would like carry on his vocals. this entire concert he seems to like stop short on singing lines and words instead of carrying them out for the full length of the line or word. yawnm sayin?

  • bgirls is one of those tracks where m anthony's background high vocals were important. hard to replace!

  • GO SOBER EDDIE!!!!!

  • whos gonna buy the new album

  • @mooper11 Anybody with good taste in music!!

  • How do you not Love David Lee Roth? The guy's a Pollyanna in the 1st degree!  Love him!

  • I'm sorry, but Eddie can't get his original tone with these new amps he designed. why can't he just stick with Marshalls. Or at least work with them on designing a signature model?

  • @RubHerSoul1 Eddie's a tone chaser so, this may be the sound he's now wanting. Sure, its not the sound that we all love but we can't change Ed's idea of a good tone.

  • Ed was shit-faced and fucked up this whole show. They stopped the tour so he could go to hab again before they started again in 2008. U would think he'd want to be a good example to his son and be sober and on target. Guess not.

  • You DO realize they're in their early 50's now, right? We were all young once. I know it's sad to see everybody older but that's life. They still sound great. :D

  • Has much as I like these guys. This just reminds me of a Vegas lounge act.

  • huge DLR VH fan, but I was so disappointed seeing this show, watching this clip I see why. Roth is SO lounge. He's like a swarmy old comedian. No more whistle scream. that cheshire cat smile is unnerving. that attempt at his scream at 3:01 is pathetic. watered down VH, not how I want to remember them.

  • haha at  0:26 Dave had to pull up his pants

  • i think eddies drunk

  • @dbray1 hes not but it dose look like it!!

  • I've got my feet in the sand. I've got my dick in my hand and all, all, all I need is a beautiful girl, ah yeah!

  • kickass:D

  • eddie van halen is the most wasted talent of rock guitar...he screws around with hagar/drugs/and dlr ...he could be doing stuff like satriani and steve vai and kicking their ass...but he just waste away playing crap like jump

  • @dkitty8124 - Eddie can buy Satriani, Steve Vai Ywgie Fatsteen etc. and throw them away a thousand times over. There were women at Van Halen concerts. The concerts of the guys you mentions were just trailer-trash sausage fests. Who wants that?

  • @Hoopermazing there were girls there mostly for DLR, not eddie :P sorry for letting you know that..

  • @Glamageddon You don't know much about women! Diamond Dave certainly got his share of tail. But, women like money and power, and Eddie is the boss.

  • @Hoopermazing haha what's that s'posed to mean? they both had equal money and power. I happen to know quite a lot about women, they usually tend to like good-looking musicians, which would be Dave! :D

  • @Glamageddon "They both had equal money and power" What are you, 12 years old? Eddie fires and hires DLR at his whim. As to your ridiculous assertion about women, you must be talking about 13 year old girls. When they get a few years older, it will all be about the money. Take a look at the women that the hideous Donald Trumps of the world have married and thrown away. You're awfully naive, kid.

  • @Hoopermazing I know the women are like that in your country, but they are some of most stupid women in the world, as are the people in your country :) I won't further ruin your day now by saying anything wrong about your beloved band, KID! (lmao)

  • @Glamageddon Moreover, when I saw VH in San Antonio in 1986, DLR was nowhere to be found, and the place was still packed with sweet sweet tang.

  • @dkitty8124 or he could be a fag that sits on his ass on youtube and says shit while eddie atleast did something.. wantin to play air guitar as a kid with a fuckin broom and then he rulled the late 70's and most of the 80's... so give me a comeback.. think of somethin clever

  • @dkitty8124 wtf is wrong with, your pretty dumb if u dont see that even jump is a masterpiece, like those boneheads stevevai and satriani plays aint the only way too play music

  • umm eddie shuld of played it studioill van halens down version and avid should of remembered he lyrics bu st

  • Straight up Brotha!!! Incredible legend w/ a major EGO PROBLEM. How many times did they funk over DLR, MA, and who knows how many session musicians?? Wouldn't be great if his ex Valerie B. ended up w/ David Lee.....that would be the Ultimate fuck OFF. I'd love to see it. Still luv the band, but the VH brothers really scarred themselves in music history.

  • Comment removed

  • fuck you

  • This is great I love it dave and eddie playing again.They sound great!the real van halen with dave yeah man!

  • Saw them in San Diego, what fun that

    concert was. LOVE it DAVE that is back!

  • @MrZechlin

    No kidding they started in 1972;

    I mean come on dude, give the guy a break he's 55. I mean seriously? Doggin' this guy because he can't sing like he used to GTFO dude. You need to wake up and realise that he is 55. But hell he's still out there givin' 100%.

  • wasnt really a true reunion without micheal anthony

  • Rock stars need to stop cutting their fucking hair short.

  • Yeah, I hear you. But Roth has a pretty pronounced receding hairline now. Long hair just makes a receding hairline look even worse. It's just looks bad. His hair looks better short now.

  • DUDE!! i know

  • aging.

  • Who cares what their hair looks like as long as they still ROCK? Dude, it's all about the rock.

  • awesome the real van halen!

  • they put on an awsome show, i went to saw them in vancouver just one month before this concert.

  • After a couple of minutes I couldn't bear to hear it anymore

  • DLR sounds so good!

  • seriously why did they get rid of mike anthony

  • Double seriously, I couldn't tell ya. Without those soaring harmonies, VH without Mike Falls a little short. A noble effort but why mess with perfect chemistry?

  • cos ed wanted to play with his son basicly micheal got fucked

  • thats ok micheal sounds good in chickenfoot

  • The background vocals are missing We miss you Michael Anthony.

  • @marveldcstinger

    AMEN!

  • @marveldcstinger I hear them just fine. Kid's hitting the notes. It's too bad the majority of "rock fans" are musical retards with no ear.

  • @DarthKazi If you had brains, you would understand I was talking about Michael Anthony's presence was missing along with his background vocals..I am Wolfie was hitting the notes. Please inlighten me Oh, mighty know it all genius.

  • @marveldcstinger Sounds like they are miding the backup vocs start watching Ed at about 3:10.He's not finishing the words, but magically the vocs are strong as ever.If they can't do it they shoudn't fake it.Get Michael back!

  • Good to see Dave having fun again. I think he always knew VH is where he really belongs.

  • @skipper1 his solo act kicked some ass tho. steve vai was sick and the eat em record was pretty solid.

  • This is the way it was always meant to be...Van Halen NOT Van Hagar!

  • Classic Van Halen indeed

  • Regardless of anything it's a great show. It's all about having fun anyway.

  • =VH=

  • Ah, now THIS is how you film a concert for Youtube. Finally somebody gets it right. WELL DONE.

    fake background vox.

  • The backing vocals are either enhanced in some way, or it's one of the best backing vocal performances ever. Probably the former. If the latter, then Wolfgang is the greatest ever, with spot on pitch, and the ability to sound like 3 guys. Most high profile arena acts (I won't mention names, but I know some of them personally) are using some type of "trickery" (sequenced keys, click tracks, faked backing vocals, etc.) and that's just the facts of life.

  • alot of it has to do with the fact of the crowd singing too

  • Yeah baby you rock Diamond Dave-welcome back to VH too!

  • For all the haters who said the backing vocals were taped, these sure as hell look and sound live to me (and I mean that in a good way!). Great clip - thanks!!

  • God this is freaking awesome. And the memories it brings back.....

  • Holy shit...you could like reach out and touch Dave...wasn't there any security fence or anything up front?

  • This is a fan recorded video? This has to be seriously the best audience recording I've EVER seen. Roth looks at the camera like a dozen times. I still don't understand how you go that close and basically ground level with them. But good work.

  • maybe, roth was looking at a beauuuuutifffuuuuuulll giiiiiiiiiiiirllll!!!!!

    thaht's why he look 12 times....

    lol

  • This Is AMAZING!

  • how fuckin close were u??? damnnnn....lucky bastard

  • nice to see Eddies humor again..shows are really great, but I do see the upgrade since this last rehab

  • Eddie is BACK, and so is his tone~!

  • perfect 10 legends

  • Great clip, great view, GREAT PERFORMANCE!

    The mighty VAN HALEN!

    Thanks for this clip!
