  • NEW EDIT of the Van Halen show from March 30 2012, Consol Energy Center Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. A few more cams were added along with some different editing choices (and i fixed some mistakes as well). There are a few more shots of AVH in this edit too!!
    High quality camera work for most of the show captured from rows 1 and 2 and 17, and audio was recorded separately with a Sony PCM M10 unit with external binaural microphones. This was an excellent show that showcased how tight the band were performing during the tour, and just how much fun they were all having on stage together.
    Van Halen were on fire and delivered a stunning version of Girl Gone Bad and played the rare Blood and Fire where Eddie rips off a killer solo. Hope you enjoy the show!

    Thank you for the kind words It was my first ever multi cam, and I spent a few months on it, basically redoing it about 8 times over. Nothing was pre-planned and it was all put together after the show. Van Halen fans are the best, and i met some online that shared their original footage with me. If they come around again the filming and editing will be even better!

    The video is quite good. All of you that made this happen I say thank you. There are some comments about Diamond Dave and bad vocals. I will have to agree with that. Oh well. When Van Halen and Van Halen 2 ..etc he was not known for being the best vocalist either I do not think. Yes Michael Anthony vocals is missing on some songs. Difficult for use old people(like me) to hear anything but Michael Anthony as background vocals on some of the songs. All in all I am glad this is on you tube though. thank you

    I was at this show. Personally I thought they sounded awesome, like they always have with Dave. Yeah his voice has aged, but the point is that he's front and center, in fantastic shape, and conducting the 3 headed monster of Ed, Al, and Wolf. He moved all over the stage, did frequent roundhouse jump kicks, and was just entertaining as hell. Van Halen is supposed to sound rough around the edges. It's supposed to sound live, like a train is just about the go off the tracks but never does. That's what makes it perfect, because it's imperfect.

    I think this is pretty freakin' good. Having embarked on life-long rock fandom in the early 80's, I never thought I'd live to see the day that Roth fronted VH again. For that reason alone, that makes this awesome. As for his vocals, the only thing lacking is the super high scream stuff, and that just comes with age. Even so, that doesn't take away from the overall authenticity of a great original act. Geddy Lee, Brian Johnson, Ian Gillan, Rob Halford; all great vocalists who don't need to scream anymore (Geddy still can, as I saw him do so on 2112 live in '13). Falsetto and scream are two different things, one tears your voice up and the other doesn't. I know, because I regularly give 6 hour concerts in my living room, several days a week. Singing scream shit from the '70s hurts after a bit (Deep Purple's "Child in Time"), but falsetto, a-la Paul McCartney, can be done all night long (and is). My only advice to Diamond would be to incorporate more falsetto in place of scream parts on old songs (but who am I to advise him). Example: Jamie's Cryin'... "OOOoh... and now he's gone forever"; that doesn't hurt, but "AAAH Haaa YEaah!... Runnin' with the Devil..." hurts and can't be pulled off for hours, let alone days/weeks on tour, but for a few minutes in the studio, it's fine. And screaming is such fun! Where else but in the context of Rock can a grown man scream his lungs out and not sound completely insane? Besides, as Tom Petty says, "Rock isn't supposed to be perfect". If you want that, listen to Opera. Boring! (sorry, opera fans). I may have written too much; if you made it this far, thank you.

  • @TotalSinging

    For ALL of you slogging Dave here - get a grip - this is what a real rock show sounds like sometimes. I think you're all to used to hearing auto-tuned, canned vocal concerts and stupid controlled environment vocal competition shows. Any singer is a human being and can sound like crap some nights. If a person is sick, getting sick or getting over a sickness, is suffering from a lack of sleep, stress, dehydrated etc. that can all lead to a bad vocal night. Just as your body is different each day - some days rested, some days tired - so can singers voice. We are not machines. There is a lot of money and over 100 people's jobs on the line with every tour so some nights the band HAS to go on even if everyone isn't 100%. Cancelling or postponing a show because of sickness can cost the tour 100,000's of dollars.
    Let's see any of YOU do a nearly 2 hour show 4-5 nights a week for months - all while living out of suitcase, sleeping in a different hotel room each night, constant weather and venue environment changes, bus & plane travel, jet lag etc. etc. etc. Do you honestly think that's an easy thing to do? Seriously? It's fucking hard for guys in their 20's, let alone people in their late 50's.
    In his 20's Dave was never a great live singer - he's a show, a ring leader - he's not fucking Pavarotti (even Pavarotti had his bad vocal nights). So to put that kind of expectation on him shows a complete ignorance of what it takes to be a touring musician - at ANY age.

    • @hasseroeder139
      @hasseroeder139 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      My friend, Im a working (hard)rock musician we play three to four sets per show a couple of times a week/month - my singer will NOT, never has sounded like DLR sounds already in the beginning of various shows Ive seen - Not even after rthe third set --and dont get me wrong , a Van Halen "MUSIC" fan !.

    • @TotalSinging
      @TotalSinging 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hasse Roeder - A couple of sets vs a non-stop 2 hour show is not a true comparison. You guys get breaks between each set. AND are you traveling between each show, living out of a suitcase, eating catered food, dealing with all the business aspects of your show like contract riders, set design and set up (because DLR does all that)?
      Or are you playing shows locally and going home to your comfortable bed most times? There is HUGE difference between what a worldwide touring musician on the VH level does and what a local musician does.
      I have done both (play multiple shows a week locally and multiple shows on tour) and I can tell the touring gig is 50x harder to maintain a healthy voice. Cut the guy some slack.

    • @MrBigden37
      @MrBigden37 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Reality, his voice is gone, he wasn't prepared, and if perhaps he just sang the songs w/o the slapstick vegas vaudeville antics it may be tolerable.

    • @TotalSinging
      @TotalSinging 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Again - you're not dealing in reality or history. Dave was NEVER a great live singer - even in 1976 in the clubs. He's a showman, a frontman - not Celine Dion. And Dave has ALWAYS been this way live - he uses the stage as his personal playground. If he stood there you'd all slog him for being a tired old man. Damed if he does and damned if he doesn't.
      Reality - it wouldn't matter what he did - you have something to complain about.

    • @TotalSinging
      @TotalSinging 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Secondly - you are seriously disrespecting Eddie & Alex if you think they would have gone through all of this if they didn't think they could all deliver. They ALL have plenty of money where they don't need to tour for the money. You know nothing of tour prep if you think you can throw this together in a couple of months. Its a year in the making minimum.
      You also know NOTHING about DLR if you think he does anything half-assed or unprepared. Nothing.

      Dj Tennessee Agreed. Eddie is still incredible, Alex in top form, Wolfgang is a decent "root note" bassist, and can fairly sing in key, although he looks more like a video game junkie than a rock star. Dave apparently still thinks he's in Vegas by the way he sings. As far as the way they move...they're all around 60, and I think they move better than most 60 year olds. You know, Sammy sang Dave songs; I think it's fitting for Dave to (try) to sing some Sammy songs...just saying'.
      Overall, it's Van Halen, and, IMHO, they will ALWAYS rock!

    I truly respect Van Halen and their unique sound over the years. But I truly must admit...Eddie and Alex still have it but Roth should find another occupation :(

      John Clay The audio mix isn't doing Dave any favors, either tho.. I mean, he never was a great on pitch singer to begin with... what's missing here is his EQ, he's harshly muffled. Be that the live show, or the cam mic, whichever it may be.

    • @marklawrence1525
      @marklawrence1525 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Age is catching up with Roth he had very few moves that he was famous for and his voice just sounded terrible. Wolfgang doesn't seem to miss a step and of course the guitar was awesome.

    There will never be another like Eddie - he brought the whole rock guitar world to it's knees and then advanced it beyond measure....there are other technical players, copiers and wannabes, but only 1 EVH. I have been watching show after show since his unfortunate passing and it is mesmerizing and just feels good. Thank you God for EVH.

    Michael Anthony is the HEART AND SOUL OF HALEN. HIS backup vocals carried the band for years. dave hasn't been able to sing for 30 years or so.
    no Anthony NO halen
    would never pay my hard earned money for this shit, especially without Anthony.

    • @arnetimmerman837
      @arnetimmerman837 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Eddie wanted to play with his son. That's the main reason why Van Halen still exists. Wolfgang's backing vocals are also good...not as good as Michael Anthony's but still. Deal with it! He's never coming back.

    Thanks for posting this great video. I grew up on Dave era VH--it was a very exciting time in my life and I'm glad I was there to experience it. Sammy has a great voice and I like him, but for me the Dave era was by far the greatest Van Halen era. Seeing Sammy join VH was--for me--a bit like seeing your mom with some other guy and wishing she was still with your dad.

    DLR sounds like a lounge singer or one of those guys in Vegas that plays in the casino doing cover songs.

  • @iamthepapa
    @iamthepapa  11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love Romeo Delight from this show for example, and Women in Love, and quite a few others. I am into all versions of Van Halen but prefer the original lineup. It's amazing to see the venom hurled about, like you have to pick and choose. How high a note can be sung is not the end all be all of a singer and songwriter. If it was, we'd all be Celine Dion fans. I wish the band would heal itself by addressing MA and Sammy issues by making up. DLR included. Would also stop the infighting..

    Jesus some of u sure are harsh and probably young.First of all this is live and recorded with what ? These dudes are close to 60 and still jammin...I saw DLR 6 six yrs ago in Atlanta and he was on his game hard. I'm shocked the guy can still scream/sing like he does and still be able to speak after all these years but I agree they miss MA really bad.

    • @jeffl977
      @jeffl977 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Eddie Van Halen is the only part of this show that makes sense, and no show is worth one incredible guitarist.

    So great to see Eddie playing! I don't care if it's Dave, Sammy or even Gary on vocals. It's all Van Halen! I honestly didn't know that Wolfgang could sound so great on the background vocals. Thanks for sharing. I'm from Brazil and will probably never have the chance to see this true guitar hero live. Legend!
