My first concert ever and I was 16 years old. I will never forget!
I was at this show when I was 16! My friend and I were right up front and center. We were right up to the barricade, and everyone rushed the stage when Metallica came to the stage, and my friend got crushed. We were both lifted over the barricade, and we got to see Metallica backstage while he recovered. Then Dokken came out, and we were able to get our spot back for the rest of the show. This was a the Cotton Bowl, and it was stupid hot! The event staff was spraying us all with fire hoses to keep us from literally dying out there!
I remember Sammy losing his voice and Michael finishing the show on vocals, but Sammy lasted longer than I remembered. It was obvious from the first song his voice was shredded. I didn't get to go to the free show because I was in the Army at that point, and couldn't make it.
I was at the show too n endured the Scorps up close...by the time Van Halen came out n 2 songs in I went over the rail n chilled understage.
I was in the USAF in my last year n by early 1989 was done with my 4 years, so moved back to DC area...n missed the free concert too!
Keep rocking but keep Jesus as your #1! 🙏✝️
I was standing in front of Eddie for the whole show. It was awesome! And Sammy is a class act.
So cool man! He was still in his prime here! :)
I was right there, same spot. 8-)
I agree. It was hot as hell that day too. I was at front by the stage after Scorpion. It was an awesome day.
by that point in the night I was somewhere way off to the side and literally in the back row of the high grandstands, just waiting for it to be over. Of course if you would have asked me at the time I would have told you how much fun it was. Watching this, though, I feel a little vindicated. My memory is that everybody but the Scorpions was HORRIBLE. Courtesy of youtube I have now confirmed that at least Metallica and Van Halen were indeed just awful. Good bands for the radio, but maybe not so much live...
I was front row, slightly left of center stage. When Eddie sat down on the edge of the stage, during his guitar solo, he was directly in front of me. This was 18 days before my 16th birthday. By far the most memorable concert I have been to. Sammy was feeling under the weather, so they cut the show a little short. He came through on his promise to make up for it. It was the downtown show in 1991, but I missed it.
@1:08:52
They came back and played the Dallas free show in 1991.
All the memories from that day is coming back to me. I was at front during this show. Scorpions had just kicked ass before VH took the stage. Metalica was a bad ass show as well. Great day!!! 😄
Texxas Jam!! Sure miss those days!!
My 9th Texxas Jam Hate it was last ! My first 1979 Sammy Hagar was So Good and after Nazerath Van Halen was Really Good! Sammy Hagar Ruled The Texxas Jam's and fittingly brought His other Band twice! I Love the Memories this bring's back and Sammy kept His word and V.H. played Free concert!
EVH moves and sounds on stage like nobody else,he makes it look things so easy,he's my favourite rock guitar player ever!!!Hi from From France :)
I thought the concert where Sammy had to cut it short (and promised the free show) was over after 3 songs....this concert had a lot more songs....
+mike eaton 91 that was
No that was in 88 but in New York which is why hey went back and played a free show in 91
+jack devine this Dallas 1988
No they only cut 3 songs from the set lol
Love the OU812 footage!!
Thanks!!!!
It was general admission, but the trash fights between the stands and the floor after each band was amazing.
Got hit in the side of the head with a pot pipe. Knock my sunglasses off. Not sure why anyone would throw their bowl into the crowd. I picked it up and kept it.
I actually no bullshit started the huge food fight before VH
@@americanbadass6498 That's probably why you are known as American Bad Ass.
the shit being flung between the stands and the ground was pretty intense.
@@tarpontim1715 It truly was. It got to the point you could listen to the crowd when something dangerous came flying out of the stands toward to floor. The crowd would go from cheering to almost a collective "Whooooaaaaaaa!!"
I was there!!!!
Was there , Hell of a show!
OMG I was there!!! Remember when Sammy said they would come back for a free show?
Yes
Yup. I was 15 . So long ago now. Just turned 48.
Missing I Can’t Drive 55 between YRGM and BOBW, if anyone cares.
I was here!
funny thing is no matter where i am at i'm here...:^)
Sammy is a bit surprisingly sub par this show, I know sound is bad in the recording but im grateful just to see and hear t either way! :)
Remember his voice went out and Michael Anthony ended up singing a lot of the songs I heard he had been sick and the Houston show did him in.
At 1:10:00 in this video, Sammy promises to do the free show due to his voice going out. The came back in ‘91 and did the free show. It’s also on RUclips...
I was there , I think he says at some point that he had the flu. He was still very active. Hanging off the lighting truss at a point as I recall. Tried to be entertaining.
@@thelapgods7374 tried to be, yeah.
Edward was on fire!
I was there
I was there. On the floor maybe about 30ft from Eddie
I was there, we were pretty much right across from the camera on the opposite side and a little closer to the stage, I remember seeing the people with the camera across the way so far over there and wondering how they ever got that 80s camcorder into the stadium! Never thought I'd end up seeing any of the footage from it though it's so awesome! Earlier in the day about 25,000 people got into a cup war of throwing wadded-up beer cups back and forth at one another it was absolutely crazy never seen anything like that! That was a wild hot day right there I'll never forget it!
Very cool!!! funny how they didn't play when it's love love walking in dreams or jump in the 1988 Tour!!
No ‘When it’s love’?
@@r.g.armstrong2688 yeah, that's funny
I bet they never said that "fill in Generic State /City Name Here" is the rockingest in the world to anyone else.
Is this monsters of rock?
lepequenosaltamontes yes
@@14Maxmom Sort of. This is the then-yearly Texxas Jam aka Texxas World Music Festival. It just shared some of the same bands touring together for the Monsters of Rock
A lot of bras flying on stage!
yikes I guess this is a moment where the PA horns in those kick drums didn't really shine. usually they don't sound this bad
the entire drum solo just sounded like a homeless bucket drummer from two blocks over.
Van Halen sounded amazing, Sammy crapped out tho
Was this the concert that sammy promised a free show and the brothers nearly crucified him for it afterwards?
Cotton Bowl!
what's going on with al's bass drum?
***** and you know that for a fact? I'll admit I don't know either, but since he just completed 3 albums and 2 tours with Simmons kick pads, why wouldn't he tour the same set up? You think those bass drums would sound good acoustically with PA horns sticking out the front? What's your "research"?
***** I'm pretty sure Alex did have triggers on his bass drums, plus Alex used a full electronic kit for a few songs. If you watch the Tokyo 89 Video, he used the electronic kit for Mine All Mine.The sound is obvious on the regular kit that there is a trigger involved.
This video footage is so awful. This is very reminiscent of The 1978 footage with Roth.
it's just as I remember it. Awful. It wasn't a good show at all, except for the Scorpions. To be clear I love Van Halen, but they just outright sucked. Metallica was even worse.
Runnin with the devil with sammy voice is a little strange and good
Great time had by all, got lucky the sound guys girlfriend was my boss in tulsa at the Hilton Hotel and she got me and my wife backstage passes..
it annoys me how someone has the audacity to tell me to be grateful yet they have no clue. all I was saying was that the sound isn't clear and I can barely hear it. I wasn't swearing or cussing or having a go at anyone. it was an opinion. I'm greatful for life and most of all God and his blessings. I'm not some new jack kid. I've been listening to van halen before RUclips even existed and I appreciate them a lot. they are my favourite band. don't prejudge me pal.
"God and his blessings"?
Fucking hippie!
don't you dare judge me you satanist
Satan doesn't exist either.
Be careful what you think you know.
so believe just in case? lol
the real van halen!!!!
LOL
good lord they sound just as horrible as I remember them!
sound isn't clear enough. I can barely hear it!
+Sau,l Marcia Too bad! You should be grateful this show was uploaded i the first place! Its a rarity!
Dude...are you 11?? This was 1988, filmed on a low end handheld video recorder (the TAPE kind, not digital) that was somehow smuggled into the venue. Before cell phones rendered it useless to enforce, recording of any kind was strictly forbidden at live shows so be thankful this exists at all.
Cool but I saw Metallica stole the show on this one
Metallica sounded like incoherent construction noise. Van Halen wasn't even recognizable. Listen to them in this video! Crap I can only recognize the songs in little snippets. They keep rhythm as well as my elementary school band. i LOVE Van Halen and Metallica. The fact is thought that without the studio help they are, well, what you see in this video. I understand nostalgia. I was there too. The music positively SUCKS though, and there is no HONESTLY disputing that.
@@tarpontim1715 it's because of the quality it was the 80s and this was filmed on a much higher seat in the stadium still Metallica was the best band on this show they absolutely destroyed dokken nobody even cared for them
@@crazymechanic8827 I have to confess that at the time of this show I didn’t even really know who Metallica was. I would discover them in the immediate following years. As of this concert though it would be hard for me to really give them a fair shot because I just didn’t know them.
@@tarpontim1715 now that u knw them think abt it and the fans were crazy for them they were only a 5 year old band anyway
Scorpions actually stole the show on this day, called back on stage for 2 Oncor's.
Sammy wasn't feeling well, if you saved your ticket stub the next Van Halen show in Dallas was free.
Yes, they did keep that promise. All in all a kick ass day.
Texxas Jam!! Sure miss those days!!
I was there!!!!
