i was at this show, and Dave's vocals were a little rough in the beginning but getting deeper into the show his vocals got better and better, people saying Dave's vocals were bad... come on guys the man's got some fricken chops, this show was amazing! I am so glad i got to go, just enjoy the music and appreciate that after all of their fighting these guys are still playing together!
Awesome concert-even better than when I saw them in 1979 on the Van Halen II tour. Wolfie rocks & Eddie is still incredible. David Lee Roth is still the ultimate VH frontman! Great concert!
I was there too. Lower level, 9th row, first section on Eddie's side. Not all that far from you, haha. F#@KING AMAZING CONCERT! Thanks for sharing this!!!
I disregard ANYBODY who chooses to use poor grammar and proper punctuation AND rip on Van Halen. They are history and you wanted to be part of it.. that is why you bought the ticket and clearly have way to high of expectations for a band and it's members who have been around the surgical units, oncology depts. in and out of treatment for substance abuse etc. I was just happy to be there, sharing my Saturday night with Van Halen. And guess what? I can spell like a high school graduate.
I remember seeing a lot of empty seats. I do remember Dave taking that scarf and using the mic stand to mop the floor. I spit up my beer laughing so hard
Fucking TONE. Edwards tone is right out of Fair Warning. Glad to hear the brown sound is back. Great interplay with him and Roth on this one. You can tell they're having a good time and not putting up a facade for the crowd.
Roth came out with a video explaining that everything was fine. They canceled the last part of the tour due to schdueling problems. Saying that they "bit off more than they could chew".
OK MrMnRocker, how did you not have the camera on Eddie for his opening squeels, etc. LOL. Great vid, one of my favorites of their openers. The interaction between Eddie and Roth in the middle is very cool. I could watch Eddie play all day.
you see all you naysayers!! This is what Dave brings out of KING EVH, totally guitar music BLISS!!!!!!! Its like planett VAN HALEN going at the speed of sound but with great humour!!!! Spammy thinks he's having a good time on stage & that he thinks he can throw a party but one thing about the mighty VH is....VAN HALEN IS THE PARTY!!!!!! Enuff said!!
They don't look like a band on the verge of a break up. Dave and Eddie are getting along just fine. I think they just need a rest....they are in their late 50s, cut them some slack.
Awesome video! I was here too! :) Just wondering, what kinda of camera do you use for these videos? They come through really clear! Is it just because your up close? I was near the very back on the right side of the stage (if you look at my videos u will see that) and mine didnt come through too clear due to the lights. Can you share some tips? Thanks!
This is killer, my favorite jam in the middle of unchained. This and the jam in the middle of "You Really Got Me" at the Tokyo show in 2013 are just killer.
I've watched a lot of clips since the tour began and whatever is afflicting DLRs physical performance it is getting worse. He's gone from moving stiffly to hardly moving at all. This goes way beyond "back problems", it looks like he's strapped to a 2by4. I mean no disrespect, just observing.
Slamming DLR has just become sport for some, and for the Hagar-fans, a chance to have childish dig. Isn't about you people grew the fuck up. The Sammy V Dave thing was a quarter century ago. Who cares? This is one of the best rock bands ever back up on stage, doing it and playing it as they always did.
Yeah, it's too bad Ed can't bring the same out of Dave's "voice"...vocal SLOP!! Band sounds great...can't say the same for the lounge act on the mic though.
GREAT SHOW!!! Was in section C06! First, they are DEFINITELY not fighting! Great chemistry! Second- Dave sounded great! Eddie is shredding like NEVER before! AMAZING!! ExCel was sold out!!! 19,000 strong!!!! They are better than ever! Sammy- you and your JEALOUS comments can go to hell! Go drink some tequila and eat a ton of food with your other fat buddy Mikey A, and have a heart attack!!! VAN HALEN ROCKS THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm...well if they are, I'm sure it has a lot to do with Dave's half ass vocals. Singing waaay off key and talking the lyrics on other songs and forgetting words surely isn't pleasing his bandmates. He sang 100 times better on the 2007 tour.
they are NOT comming back any time soon. david is going to shady oaks retirement home. eddie is going to be dead by 2013 an wolfie will be the spokeman for dunkin donuts.
very cool to see them - however -- while Eddie still rocks his shit -- David Lee Roth really should have had a teleprompter.....seriously. Hey I was in row 9 right on eddies side too -- section 101
Best night of my life...

DLR's voice may have deterioated over the past 20 years, but you got to admit, his rapport with the audience is still amazing....
Wow...cool jam leading up to the break!!
Awesome concert-even better than when I saw them in 1979 on the Van Halen II tour. Wolfie rocks & Eddie is still incredible. David Lee Roth is still the ultimate VH frontman! Great concert!
to answer your question below, they interacted really well. like, joking around and laughing together. seemed like best buds.
I was there. Awesome solo by Eddie

Man, last time I saw the legend live... Kool and the Gang opened! RIP King Edward!

DLR KICKING ASS FUCK he soundds greatt cant wait to see em!
Great show from the boys! Dave was a lil off but that's usual... Eddie was totally ON!!!!!
You had a very nice seat! I was up in 10th row on Eddie's side of the stage and the sound quality in my videos came out like crap! Nice videos!!
They kicked ASS!
I remember seeing a lot of empty seats. I do remember Dave taking that scarf and using the mic stand to mop the floor. I spit up my beer laughing so hard
Damn man u go hard at concerts
Yeah, by Eddie.
The video of David Lee explaining the postponement can be found on the rolling stone webs ite
FOR YOUR INFO. YES THEY ARE FIGHTING BACKSTAGE. IT WILL NOT LAST
Fucking TONE. Edwards tone is right out of Fair Warning. Glad to hear the brown sound is back. Great interplay with him and Roth on this one. You can tell they're having a good time and not putting up a facade for the crowd.
hilarious man...
Just type in "Van Halen Vimeo" on Google. The video is called "Public relations". RUclips won't let me post the link.
Roth came out with a video explaining that everything was fine. They canceled the last part of the tour due to schdueling problems. Saying that they "bit off more than they could chew".

Great to see Eddie lookin healthier.
It was a sick concert even if i was sitting in the back of the excel center
you see all you naysayers!! This is what Dave brings out of KING EVH, totally guitar music BLISS!!!!!!! Its like planett VAN HALEN going at the speed of sound but with great humour!!!! Spammy thinks he's having a good time on stage & that he thinks he can throw a party but one thing about the mighty VH is....VAN HALEN IS THE PARTY!!!!!! Enuff said!!

Sub! This concert rocked!!
I KNOW IT WAS SICK I THROW UP MY CHEERIOS
Awesome video! I was here too! :) Just wondering, what kinda of camera do you use for these videos? They come through really clear! Is it just because your up close?

I WAS AT THE SHOW & DAVID WAS COUGHING UP A FUCKIN HAIR BALL
Listen to the crowd. 19,000 people disagree with you. Dave is the show!
Sorry, that's a great jam starting at 3:30.
I'd like to read what you witnessed though. Did they interact with each other or address the issue during the concert?
wow no wonder they're gettin rid of DLR........please get sammy back because i bought tickets to a show thats in jeopardy.
Van Halen isnt Van halen without Michael Anthony on bass...
So with all the rumors about Dave and Eddie not getting along. How did they interact with other? Or did they have any interaction with each other?
I've watched a lot of clips since the tour began and whatever is afflicting DLRs physical performance it is getting worse. He's gone from moving stiffly to hardly moving at all. This goes way beyond "back problems", it looks like he's strapped to a 2by4. I mean no disrespect, just observing.
no people iam not a SAMMY fan either.

Band sounds great...can't say the same for the lounge act on the mic though.
Ha or not. Its a coolpix thats like $250. But just gotta see some tips so chill out
Dave can sure fuck up a song by trying to sing it
Good lord, Roth is a shell of himself...sad to see, put him out to pasture already...
Do you all see a band that's dysfunctional? They seem great to me. WTF?!?!
GREAT SHOW!!! Was in section C06! First, they are DEFINITELY not fighting! Great chemistry! Second- Dave sounded great! Eddie is shredding like NEVER before! AMAZING!! ExCel was sold out!!! 19,000 strong!!!! They are better than ever!
