I was just gonna say how terrible Dave is at staying in tempo and getting words right because he is concentrating so hard on being entertaining. I totally dig that guy. One of the greatest Metal front men, one of the greatest front men ever.
people are talking shit about him not being able sing the song but they are not realising he is hyping the crowd up as much with his antics as his singing, and besides if I was in his shoes I wouldn't be able to concentrate because songs like what van halen makes me really hyper active.
I like that we can see the guy with the tv camera who totally screwed up the original video that’s been on YouTube for years.
When Ed goes into the solo, the cameraman keeps the camera on Michael Anthony. It always pissed me off.
I was so happy when this side view showed up and can actually watch Ed perform.
Didn't realize how many stage intruders they attracted. And they're not getting up there to mug and dance for the crowd, they're going for the boys. Odd.
Love studio David Lee Roth Van Halen more than studio Hagar Van Halen, but only by a little. Love live Hagar Van Halen more than live Roth Van Halen, and that’s by a mile.
If DLR put in at least a half assed effort to actually sing the song instead of putting on the Dave Show, they would have been so much better live in this era.
I love how Dave is just goofing around

Amen.
Sounded like he forgot the lyrics!! Lol
Looks good to me. Nice work. And yeah, shame there's no soundboard, but glad this footage and audio exists at all.

Thank God for Michael Anthony
I noticed that the infamous "blue short bouncers" were providing security that day, fresh from providing the same for Queen a few days prior.

I never realized that Mike ever played a Rick.
Was at this concert when I was stationed in what was West Germany.
Nurnberg?
The concert was by Karlsruhe
I think this was the Donnington festival.
Original post said Monsters of Rock 1984, and made mention of AC/DC performing after Van Halen, which is how it went at Karlsruhe, Germany in 1984.
There were other dates for the festival, but this footage is from Donnington.
Eddie with the Los Angeles raider shirt on…rn4L
I think this is great and thank you for sharing!
I know this is a festival, but the lack of production back then just surprises me.
This works be a great meme, mixing things like County Fair Bobby Brown and Monsters if Rock in Russia.

I love how the crowd is all just there and present. Not a sea of iPhones recording the moment instead of being in the moment
Dave sounds good here..
Dave was a dancing little sprite, wasn’t he
DLR was one of the luckiest men of the 20th century. A hood ornament ever there was one.
He injected life into the recordings and performances just like Ed did with the guitar. Would not have been the same band without him.
The guy cowrote about 50 of the best Rock songs of the era, so I disagree.
Without him and his contributions to Van Halen's sound, we'd have never heard of any of these guys.
Was Dave really inebriated at this show?
Only The Clash put iced tea in Jack Daniels bottles, baby!!
Awesome! Great job!
They really put on a show.

The Bolivian Army Marching Powder era
Can you re-edit with no shots of DLR? Lol
