No matter what he's one of the best frontmen ever. Diamond Dave
I AGREE100%!!!
Back when the crowds were there. 80's fuckin ruled!!
This is back when David Lee Roth was David Lee Roth
This is horrible
...and married men were nervous.
This was when David Lee Roth was David Lee Roth.
But really all of us were David Lee Roth. You were David Lee Roth, I was
David Lee Roth. We all were David Lee Roth.
Except for Sammy Hagar. He was still Sammy Hagar.
@@clubredken13 And Sammy is still Sammy today. Quite remarkable how he does that ..
@Mark Cianfarani you're fucking stupid. It kicks Van Halen's ass
I saw DLR on the Eat em and Smile tour when Cinderella opened for them in '86. That was a great concert!
Ahh..
.you got to see Vai in action..I'm sure that was one to remember
@@lonewolf1053 Steve Vai was awesome, he is definitely one of the guitar greats!
@@presjobro My first exposure to Vai was the movie Crossroads..been a fan ever since and his work with Roth is legendary..rock on bro!
Me too, Savanah Ga
I saw this tour, my first concert, Poison opened up. My second concert was Cinderella w/ Winger and Bullet boys.
This was my first ever concert in grade 9! I was honestly there to see Poison, but I became a Roth fan after this concert.
lol me too!!!
I was there too. Poison killed it that night.
This is how I'll remember Roth.
he does the exact same shit now. it just looks ridiculous looking through the lens of time.
It is so cool that you call him Roth instead of David Lee Roth. You sound like a real pro and and and you sound cool. I wanna be just like you.
@@WhyTheHorseface No he doesn't. He's 65 now and can't do those moves anymore. I saw them live in 07. He doesn't even sing anymore. He sings 1 or 2 lines then talks through the rest of the song.
@@TwinMillMC yeah but....he's actually getting better if you watched some of his stuff with the Kiss Final Tour.....MUCH better that Vegas act was pretty damn rough. On the other hand, not too many still look as 'fit' as Dave at 65. And NO, he doesn't do the high jumps off the drum risers and cartwheel stuff, because he's had 3 major BACK OPERATIONS from landing hard doing splits from 14' up for YEARS. Takes it's toll.
Hell, most guys that age with 3 back surgeries struggle to get off their fu**n' couch. ✌😁
@@akimmbo Wow! I had no idea he had 3 back surgeries. I have a bad back so I know what it's like.
Steve vai always looked like a rock star. And played like one.Even Frank Zappa said that. Steve is a beast!
Hes amazing! Never copped Eddie though.
Nobody can....
Just when i was thinking, who is the goon with the green jem? I saw your comment lol
Steve Vai is the best guitarist in the universe..
Steve Vai WAS A ROCK STAR!!!!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I actually loved David Lee Roth's solo albums like "Eat Em And Smile" and "Skyscraper" a lot. This is a good night on tour back in the day.
This is absolutely Dave at his flawless diamond best, before this I was watching a show from 1999 in Finland and the two aren't even vaguely similar. Steve is at the top of his game in this performance and the rest of the band is super tight and solid as a rock. On this night with that band and that amazing crowd Dave truly was the greatest front man on earth imo.
Amen
Well that's eleven years later with an inferior band. Such a shame that the Eat em and smile band couldn't stay together.
1981 was Dave at his flawless diamond best. Not that he was bad here. Sorry.
As someone who grew up on VHS tapes and VCRs this footage just looks like memories that have yet to be made. I dig it! Thanks for sharing.
Same here !
Saw this tour at Anaheim Stadium when I was in 5th grade. One of the best nights of my life.
I was at this show. Poison opened up for him open that tour. Hell of a show!
Saw him at the Sydney entertainment centre, one the best shows from this era. So exiting to see Steve Vai after watching Crossroads a million times.
I always wanted Dave's hair. Now I have it. I'm bald too....
It wasn't his hair in '88, either.
I hear ya bro.
☺
I myself went from cocaine to rogaine
@@billmers3219 ✌😁
Wow, thanks for posting. I was actually sitting in the last row of the floors for this concert when I was 16 years old! lol
This was my first concert as well - when I was 16.
Lucky darlings!
So lucky!!
Great band! Great show. Sure it sounded great live, camera here is not accurate, it's rough. Some songs are missing i think. Who on earth is going to sing perfectly these songs with all the running around, jumping, martial arts etc? No one, young or old. I saw the eat em and smile tour. It was awesome. You were smiling for a few weeks after the show. You were entertained. There was no better showman and frontman in the 70s and 80s. Ted Templeman said it himself there would of never been a Vanhalen without Roth. Also i met a lightman who along with 24 other roadies who worked for Vanhalen, he and 23 of them went with Roth when the band split up. Roth treated them good. Those first 6 albums have it all, 4 great talented guys. A drummer who is amazing and has a snare sound like a hollow log, totally his own sound. What a bass player, who sings these harmonies that are perfect. A guitar player who revolutionized the guitar. A super star and the other superstar was Roth.
They had originality.
Vanhagar did not. I don't dislike Sammy Hagar, i do like his song heavy metal.
Anyway it was too sweet and radio friendly V.Hagar for me, there was no adventure and drifting off into other things like I'm on fire, mean street, atomic punk, everybody wants some, I'm on fire, tora tora, loss of control, hot for teacher, house of pain.
Hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever watched
Allot of people talk shit about DLR but he was a great entertainer.
Yah, I don't know why some do, Dave is great. His solo stuff is great. "The DLR Band" album was great.
That's what people say. Roth was a force in that decade!
One of the best frontmen of all time, just for his performances in the 80's.
Not a great singer, but that's not the be-all and end-all of being a frontman, especially in live rock n roll shows.
Roth just took control of the stage, the band and most importantly the audience. Not many frontmen can do that on this kind of scale.
Steven Tyler of course, back in the day. Chris Robinson. Even Vince Neil back in the 80's, up to around 1993 or so. Mick Jagger, even today, great frontman.
Roth is definitely among the best.
ALLOT!??!!?!?!?!? HAHAH WOOOOOW! wow.......
Probably because he CAN'T sing.
I believe the date of this show is April 13, 1988. That's what my ticket stub says. Great show.
Roth created a masterpiece with Skyscraper and it's timeless.thanks for sharing this.Dave is in good voice.btw love Sammy Hagar too.
Very solid album indeed.
Wait...what??? lol
This show was on my 21st B~Day. I saw them the 2 previous nights...Binghamton on the 3rd and Rochester on April 2...A great way to celebrate my 21st. I also just saw dave in Buffalo last February. He opened for KISS. All 4 shows were excellent.
Never realized how many cheerleading moves Dave used till i had a daughter in highschool. Lol
Those are MMA karate moves. Dave was a highly accomplished martial artist.
@@TwinMillMC looks like cheerleading to me. Especially when he's swingin around a flag or some ribbon tassels. Lol
@@dominickefrim3088 Maybe the cheerleading looks like martial arts. How bout them apples?
@@TwinMillMC
You say tomayto, i say tamoto. Lol
I'm pretty sure it's "Martial", as in "Martial Arts". Are you American?
Amen Brother! Man those great 80's....
SAW HIM AND HIS INCREDIBLE BAND 1986 AND 1988! TOP OF HIS GAME!!!
Wow this is Dave at his top of the game, lots of energy.
My dad took me to this concert when I was 12!! Pretty excellent memory! Thx for posting it.
Thank you for posting this!!!...damn this brings back alot of memories....David is having so much fun..like he did with van Halen on their two album's...he made the right choice of getting Steve vai....one of a true God's....to me he found that connection with Steve vai like he did with Eddie van Helen long time ago....I always been a big fan of Dave.....he knows how to put on a damn good show and make the people feel part of it......it's rare to see this like now and days........
I saw that tour in Largo and Columbia Maryland that year. Live with VH and solo were my favorite concerts!
Unbelievable footage from a camcorder?!?!
Saw the Skyscraper tour in 9th grade. Thanks for uploading. You can feel the raw good energy. No one throwing bottles at the performers just enjoying
Thanks.
had to watch this again... thanks! wish there were more of his from back then,,, even pro shot would be cool
My Time Flies. My senior spring high school year. What a group! thanks for the video!
I was at this concert, Poison opened the show. I saw them in ‘86 too. It was too bad Billy Sheehan quit before the tour started.
I was at this show! Thank you for the post!
Wish I could go back to 1988. Life was better.
I was there,17yrs old,Great times!
Agreed he’s the best!
And I’m happy to say I was at this concert. Also the time before this show Billy Sheehan was playing Bass and it was also a kick ass concert for sure!
Wow I cant believe I found this .
I was at this show and how can anyone thing van halen is van halen with out him .
Diamond dave from when we were all young and pretty ...lol..sigh
Saw him with Poison as opening act in Memphis TN, Skyscraper tour, great show, he is one of the best front men ever.
what a set list...jeez..saw them in donnington in 88..incredible
A true musical vampire.Drinking in all of that energy from the live music and the excited crowd.lol
The greatest front man-singer ever! David Lee ROTH!!!!!
Saw this tour. Totally awesome show!
Seen this same tour in Biloxi, Mississippi with Cinderella as the opening act. It was a great concert!!! DLR is one of the best showmen ever. Have much respect for David Lee Roth because of the fact he has always refused to lip sync on live tv or any where for that matter....
He did lip sync on a tv performance somewhere in Europe. I think Germany:)
He lip synched "And the Cradle Will Rock" in 1980. Maybe Europe (Germany??) as Nathaniel mentioned.
I've always heard the opposite! Who knows? Dont see how you can really get it around it though. There is a video on RUclips about singers who refuse to lip sync. Look it up! Who knows
And DLR is actually the thumb nail
Saw this show on May 1st of 88 in Cincinnati with Poison opening. Great concert
My first concert ever! Was totally blown away by the energy and how hard they worked to put on a “show” and not just “rock out”. From the big timpani drum interlude, rappelling to Oh Canada, boxing ring second stage, three-necked guitar, surf boarding... to the little moments like stopping “Goin Crazy” to switch to Spanish and the insane guitar flourishes Vai brought to the table. The next time DLR came to town it was a completely different vibe. He had his painted on coke smile and dialed in a pretty basic show that seemed to focus on sounding like a budget VH instead of it’s own identity. I remember the openers Cinderella and Extreme both blew him off the stage.
I saw him in 88 and 91 . Both were spectacular shows
I seen DLR live twice and he was AMAZING!!!!
You like cheese?
One of the very best ever.
David you'll always be the greatest frontman in the business ❗❤
WOW, THAT WAS GREAT ! THANKS BILL FOR HAVING THE NERVE TO RECORD SUCH A GREAT SHOW !🤣🤣🤣
Seen this tour in Glasgow. Great Show It was the 80s
i was there on the floor somewhere.........crazy that i didnt remember the boxing ring
Saw Dave 6x's with the original VH lineup. Just noticed that he's joined the KISS 2020 tour. So, I'll be seeing him again in Sept. Be interesting to see if he's still got that spark after 35 years. I think he'll love the venue. Looks out over the Columbia River Gorge. Pretty tough to do a bad show out there.
I saw this tour and the prior one. Steve Vai really made the VH songs his own.
Thank you for uploading this! "All Rights Reversed" made laugh.
Yeah I always loved that little wordplay.
Saw him at MLG with VH 8 years prior. I remember nothing. Last time I was at mlg I saw Ric Flair vs Harley Race....lots of memories from mlg.
I was at that show too I think. ‘80 sounds about right.
Love the steel drum part! Wish I’d seen DLR! Very underrated entertainer! ❤❤
Best rendition of Oh Canada. Ever.
Awesome!
DLR and those kicks.He knew how to electrify a stage,thats for sure.
First year of the Jem and my first concert!!!
やはり。この頃のSteve Vaiは最強。全くミスする気配無く、高難度な演奏をキレキレに決めている。
He’s actually singing in time & not drunk out of his mind with more singing & less prancing.
Seen this tour in cedar Rapids Iowa Steve Via rocked🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘
I'm in the music
And the music's in me.,
God bless music,
And God bless me.
Saw him on the skyscraper tour Canberra, ACT at Bruce indoor stadium with a pocket full of joints
The video camera filming this was the size of a small Volkswagen.
God Bless Military and Wonderful Music..🇺🇸🇺🇸🌏🌎🌍🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🎀🌈😀
Um dos meus vocalistas preferidos. É muito carismático.
The Eat 'em and Smile tour in '86 was definitely a ballsier and overall better tour but this one had its moments. Skyscraper had some genius Vai moments but it felt like Sheehan wasn't the only one with a foot out the door. Matt B did an admirable job but it sure would be fun to get the original lineup together for a one-off show even if David can't swing the vocals like he used to, just for the energy!
I saw this tour in Phoenix. Great show! Standing right up front! Dave surfing overhead into the crowd on a surf board. Steve played that triple neck heart-shaped guitar, with necks on each side, playing with both hands at the same time. Unreal! I got to see Vai, Eddie, Satriani and Yngwie all up close. Like within 5-10 ft. I won't even begin to say who was best. They were all such different experiences, and all so great. I'll just acknowledge how lucky I was to get to see some of that stuff. Satch for Alien, Yngvie for his first album, Vai for Skyscraper. The time I saw Eddie that close was Diver Down. Just ... damn good times man. (by the way, this vid is all fucked up man. I had to write this down on a different vid and copy it before YOUR vid fucked up! still great to see. thanks!)
By the end of this tour, wasn’t many people at the shows. Jumped the shark
WOW!
The most talented/all around musician on the stage is Greg Bissonette.
I sell smiles for a living.....here you go, this one's on me. Looks good on you! Here's another one...have that for breakfast!
I was at the eat'm and smile show too!! Great show I think . I took acid . Note to self , never take acid on Halloween and especially at DLR show . It took weeks to feel normal again .
I went to that show in Columbus Ohio. The best show I've ever seen.
Yeah man. I was there to. Front row. Got 2 picks from Steve. They were just plain Jane fender picks but still.
Still have my ticket stub from this show, Billy Sheehan rocked on Bass.
bOb Dobbs in this video thats not Billy on bass.
Bravo 👏 The greatest front man in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. David Lee Roth diamond Dave there will ever only be one ☝️
The moment he took the stage to the last encore, from start to finish he commanded the the stage like no other. A brilliant frontman that knew how to make crowd feel like they were part of the show.
It was the eighties, rock n roll shows at their best. Great times, damn good times.
@@allanreagan8159 I loved the 80's!!!
Who else is here for Vai's solo?
I am!
I remember seeing DAVID LEE ROTH on the Eat Em' And Smile tour man it was amazing!!! Dave was spot on.it reminded me of VH thru 78 thru 81 until Dave started to get a little too hammered live.Dave was sober as a judge during that tour and this one too.as appreciative as I am to mr.Gemmell putting this out it is a lousy recording and not indicative of how good they really sounded.i mean you have to hand it to Dave he put together a super group.Steve Vai,Billy Sheehan and Greg Bisonette!!!! wow!! to me imo eat em and smile blows away 5150. I like hard party feel good rock,not into a bunch of goofy synths and ballads,and I'm sorry but Edward lost his great 'brown sound" crunching hard guitar edge w 5150 and ou812 imo.i think a critic put it best when he was reviewing the critically successful 2012 A.D.K.OT. he said "For some reason when Roth is in the band,Eddie plays guitar like the world wants him too and Dave has to get some credit for that" I read that on Wikipedia by just putting in "A Different Kind Of Truth" A.K.A THE REAL F'ING VH BABY!!!!
yeah right, that's why everyone remembers Dave's 'eat em' and no one remembers or plays 5150. Dave is a clown with limited talent. He rode the VH wave and still is and why is that? Because he can't do it on his own...even with a 'supergroup'. Dave needs Eddie for fame and cash. Eddie needed Dave to tour and bring in cash for his Bro who was broke. And of course, they needed suckers like your self who worships a guy who can't sing and pay huge cash to see a poor version of once was.
Oh and a different kind of truth was a flop. They can't stand each other, that they can't even write something new together. But this is what you consider great.....dork.
I DON'T KNOW ASS HAT BUT DAVE HAD ABOUT 3 OR 4 SUMMERS OF PLATINUM SUCCESS PAL. SAMMY IS A GOOFBALL ON STAGE PLUS DLR WITH VH IS 1 OF 5 ROCK BANDS TO HAVE MULTIPLE DIAMOND CERTIFIED ALBUMS...VH78 AND 1984 NONE WITH HAGAR SUCK ON THAT AND CHOKE. LOOK IT UP ON WIKIPEDIA. THOSE 1ST 4 STUDIO ALBUMS WITH ROTH ARE ON PAR WITH LED ZEP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! EDDIE TRUNK KNOWS A HELL ALOT MORE THAN BOTH OF US COMBINED ABOUT HARD ROCK AND HEAVY METAL AND HE SAID THAT. HAGAR W VH WAS A POP SUGAR COTTON CANDY DRIVEN MACHINE...IT SUCKED. WHEN VH EVEN WASN'T KNOWN THIS UNKNOWN BAND OPENED FOR BLACK SABBATH ON THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR AND COMMENCED TO BLOW THEM OFF THE STAGE. THAT IS A HARD FACT MY FRIEND. EVEN IOMMI SAID HE TRIED TO PLAY FASTER JUST TO KEEP UP WITH THE ENERGY THIS UNKNOWN BAND WAS DOING. HAVE YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE SEEN AN OPENING UNKNOWN BAND BLOW DOORS OFF OF A MAJOR ACT??? DIDN'T THINK SO. EVEN THE EGO-LESS MIKE ANTHONY SAID "WE WILL BE HEADLINING AFTER THIS CAUSE WE BLEW THEM OFF THE STAGE.
well im pretty sure Van Hagar had 3-4 summers of platinum success, as they had 4 straight #1 albums......and POP....hmmm....what the hell you think "JUMP" is????
blite13 - ADKOT was a flop? Ok. One of the best reviewed Van Halen albums ever, 3rd highest selling Hard Rock album of 2012.
Oh for a good sound quality!
David Lee Roth, Rodney King, Sirhan Sirhan and Jackie Robinson went to the same High School in Pasadena California (different years).
The Bisonnette brothers were a nice one two punch.👍
Wish I would have seen him with Van Halen and solo back then. I didn't see them until the reunion tour 20+ years after splitting but they were still great. DLR was never a great singer but he was a great frontman.
33:14 One of Steve Vai’s best solos “Goin’ Crazy”.
This shat all ove VanHagar back in the day. That is my opinion, you can have yours and it's alright.
1988? Ugh.
Luv DLR and like only a fanboy could.
But.....
After watching this and a bunch of other late 80’s rock concerts, everyone can understand why the music had to change.
Guns N’ Roses & Metallica, then later Alice In Chains & Nirvana, said no to Glitter Rock.
I'm sure it was a good show, but 1986 when they were on the Eat'em and Smile tour was the show to see!!! What's crazy is that anyone who was in the music scene where I'm from seemed to have taken the night off to come see the show!!!!!! All the Who's Who were in the audience!!!!!!!!!! It wouldn't be the same without Billy Sheehan!!!!!! Plus, I heard he lost a boat load of money on this tour!!!!!!! Nevertheless I am a big David Lee Roth fan!!!!!!!!!!
The day before my 11th BDay... I wish I could've been there! Also, this is the 13th of April not the 4th.
From 1978 to 1988, no one was better excepting Freddie Mercury
Well, crap. This was the Skyscraper tour so, I watched the whole thing waiting to see them actually play Skyscraper. I even went back through the entire video twice to be sure but, it's just not there. I'm terribly disappointed.
Those are MMA karate moves. Dave was a highly accomplished martial artist.
No shit?..that's pretty cool
He still is if he keeps up with it...do you know what martial art he practices?...some are actually practical while some are just useless flash..
@@tyecook9630 back in the 70's & 80's it was (Korean) Tae Kwon Do, which emphasizes jumps, spinning kicks, high kicks a lot with the legs. He's onto some Japanese stuff now. Don't know exactly what.
@@USMale-fy1xy ah cool...thnx
34 years old here, i though he was at least 45
Rough life.
Dave's voice sank live without Eďdie & Mike on back up vocals.
Bass solo at the 43:20 mark. This guy was no Billy Sheean but light years ahead of Micheal Anthony. He sang as good Anthony as well (might be hard to tell because the keyboard guy is singing too).
There’s a boy goes by the name of Jack Butler.....
I still own that movie....
Cutting heads....
You can clearly see Vai missed playing with Sheehan on this tour...
Steve Bello
Actually Vai has a great relationship with Matt Bissonette. The Bissonette brothers have done several projects together. The Sheehan is a beast and very animated, Mat is an extremely schooled player and this was his first taste or arena rock. Don't sell him short dude!
Steve Bello I agree Matt But Greg's Brother Did Good job for the tour
Absolutely!
Sheehan is way more powerful
Was Billy already in Mr Big?
DLR is the luckiest singer ever to get to make music with Via, Billy Sheehan and Eddie. Wow that's talent.
One of the best front men 👏👏👏
Missed Billy sheehen here...
DLR's version of "just a gigolo/I ain't got nobody" is better than Louis Prima's version 🙌🏻♥️
I want to see the concert David Lee Roth with Jason Becker LIVE!
Unfortunately , never happened.
good times, vuelto loco
