Seen him twice while in the military.... Yes smoke was included. I remember he would show the crowd what looked like a big rolled one. Great time to be alive.
Nice to see you smile always, Dave! Thank you for being our friend for decades! I was 14 when 1984 came out--a boy in Puerto Rico full of dreams! Now, I am a Florida man with same dreams!
Great to see Diamond David Lee Roth, the Toastmaster General of the Imoral Majority smiling and dancing. Van Halen and DLR are a HUUUUUGE part of the soundtrack of my life. Was a teenager in the 80's. Loved y'all then and still lovin it today! Thank you Diamond Dave. You made it more fun. Still do.
Must be surreal to dance to music that you created and the world has loved and enjoyed and continues to.❤Thank you for being a part of the best times of my life.
David Lee Roth will always be the man from the time he took the stage till now he’s still commands it. He’s gorgeous and funny and amazing singer dancer, etc. when David Lee Roth was made, they broke the mold because there will never be another Diamond Dave❤
Yeah it was. But realizing what I didn't know back then I'd be about half scared to try it again... barely made it the first time. But yeah...iffy...heck with it let's go.
My first concert was Van Halen on May 14, 1984. I was 15 years old and it was at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood California. I even remember our seats. Colonnade East, section 12, row 17. Seats 2,3,4, and 5. I was in seat 4 🎉🎉🎉 love ya’ David. Keep on rocking 🌹🌹💜
In 79, I met them after concert in Paris, sneaking backstage with my best friend, we walked naturally like roadies (but so young, ha ha) Eddie told me he liked Eric Clapton’s music when he saw my transfert t-shirt, David was agitated like kind of dancing, there was « nice » girls for him and champagne bottles on a table, Alex left in a room, he had a problem to his leg… friendly Michael.. I remember the magic and so shy we couldn’t say one word.. security guys asked us gently to leave after we got some autographs .. teenage wildlife memory, I was 16 .. end of 70’s 16 was like an Angel … I practiced Kung Fu many years, I don’t sing I guess too shy and no special voice timbre but I still play guitar and also like to dance ha ha, I realized after years how DLR got an impact on some aspects of my life, health, a bit crazy, dance etc .. I guess he knows that being alive is better… and healthy
Man if ya see my face in the comment I'm the long haired dude that grew up with Van Halen ,you were the ultimate showman ,talented, smart what a vocalist. I think I may have borrowed your style more than once. I'm a singer and been paid. Nothing like a star though. Just know you made our lives a lot more bearable. Keep on rocking my friend your the ice cream man!!!
Been dealing with claim adjusters and auto body shop. Despite that my anger grows as to what I'm dealing with, this video helped to soothe my soul. Thank you. I needed this today.
Still getting it after all these years! Outstanding Sir, I have always appreciated you since my aunt's always played your records babysitting me! Godspeed friend!!
Could you imagine if you were Dave's grandson? "Hey Pop Pop, do that dance thing again!" I don't think Dave has ever been in a bad mood his whole life. More happiness & success to you, Mr. Roth!
As a teeneager of the 80's I have so many wonderful memories of you Dave. You have brought a great joy to my heart for so many years. I saw you in concert in Knoxville, TN with Poison. That was such a great concert. Thank you for so many great songs, videos and fun memories. We love you Dave. Blessings to you my friend . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You will always know how to put on a show Dave, thank you. You and your dance partner look to having an absolute blast. Fun shows through. Met Dave and his later band(s) at shows thru the 90s when I worked in private security a few times over the years and he was always a pro so this was a sincerely joyful experience. We need more of this.
No will ever do it better.. best frontman and entertainer of all time you can’t help but watch and smile and admire his freedom and expressionism to be himself! Keep being authentic and eccentric Dave #DavidLeeRothForeverb
The showman’s showman!! Still full of life and rocking @ 70 years young! I love Van Halen as a unit, but in my humble opinion, Diamond Dave was Van Halen!! Keep on rocking, my guy!!!
@@robking9857 "Shine" is a general term that simply means to emit or reflect light. It can be used literally, like when the sun shines or a diamond shines. "Shine on" is often used figuratively to mean to keep emitting light, to keep being successful or impressive, or to persevere despite challenges. It can also be used as a form of encouragement. Examples:Shine on, you crazy diamond. ( The Beatles song)Don't let anyone dim your light. Diamonds shine because they have a high refractive index. The refractive index determines how much light is reflected. The higher the substance's refractive index, the lighter will be reflected. The diamond is cut in such a way that a ray of light falling on it is reflected many times within the diamond.
I was probably 12 when I went to my first concert. 11 rows back, center stage. I was never the same after that. Still my fav of all time along with Zep. My 40's brought me to the last concert they did in Vegas with the most awesome Eddie Van Halen (in peace with God). They are one of the best bands that this world has ever seen. I'm glad to have been a part of this music scene. Nothing has compared since.
@@briannemeth9417 yeah buddy me too, I actually bought the first one. I was in LA when Dave repelled over the side of tower records, huge gathering in the streets and multiple bikini chicks on top of the building posing and waving to the crowd. I believe they cycled the women out for an unbelievable amount of time, days if I recall correctly. It was a great time to be there.
@therealandrecorbin4050 When Pink Floyd released Animals they had a giant inflatable pig in Central Park. I walked to it and people were running around throwing promo stuff, and if you were lucky enough free tickets to MSG show
David Lee Roth Mr Dilly's all-time favorite rock and roll front man... keep on rocking and entertaining us for many more years to come.. Sir Dave.!!! 👍 🎸 😎 ❤️ 🤟 🙏
Hahaha, great seeing the legendary DLR dancing and having fun. I remember being a teen at a VH show and seeing him do some acrobatic kicks and jumps. Thank you Dave for being a fantastic entertainer
"Diamond Dave" , I feel I've known him all my life , he has been with me throughout my life, "Like a Real Brother" through bad times & the very best of times he has alway's been there for me ! Ironic part is that I have never met him ! My "only" wish, the only one on my bucket list would finally make my life more meaningful !
I dont know WHY this video was created but with Dave ya just might never know. Still one of the greatest songs ever. Thank you, you weird and wonderful dude.
Says, "David Lee Roth - Dance The Night Away." WOW, I didn't know this was a DLR solo record. I thought it was by Van Halen. (A group with three other people.) This isn't a re-recording. It's the original recording from VH2. I think this demonstrates some of the issues with DLR that prevented a tribute tour to Ed Van Halen.
I cannot help but love this guy. He has been a part of my musical life since 1978, and a very special part it is. Thank you Dave! Love you, man!
Well said brother, rock on!
Well said, Ricky. 1978 for me, as well.
Absolutely!! 😀🤩🥰👍
Seen him twice while in the military.... Yes smoke was included. I remember he would show the crowd what looked like a big rolled one. Great time to be alive.
I couldn't have said it better. VH was never the same without David.
He’s doing pretty well as a 70 y.o. Keep living a fun and awesome life Dave!
Dave flew thru the air, did high kicks, jumps, karate all in one show! He’s always been the man
I can't believe he's so gay now
@@pepinopolice6928 He was always quite effeminate.
@@pepinopolice6928Oh. Wow. We are all so enriched with your commentary.
@@80396 Ohh.. Wow ! Yes indeed... Baby... Yeeeaaahhh ! 🤣

Always a great showman! This video proves he still has it going on after all these years! Love you Dave! This put a huge smile on my face!
Nice to see you smile always, Dave! Thank you for being our friend for decades! I was 14 when 1984 came out--a boy in Puerto Rico full of dreams! Now, I am a Florida man with same dreams!
💎💎💎💎
I was 14 when the first album came out
✌️😁🤘
Does he have any idea how much money he could make if he and Alex get together? Wtf?
Man you said just about what I was thinking as I watched this.
He always seemed like a friend I meant. Seeing him smiling made my day. And my day sucked.lol
Nice suite, and great moves David. Have fun and "Dance The Night Away." Cheers to you!
Great to see Diamond David Lee Roth, the Toastmaster General of the Imoral Majority smiling and dancing. Van Halen and DLR are a HUUUUUGE part of the soundtrack of my life. Was a teenager in the 80's. Loved y'all then and still lovin it today!
Thank you Diamond Dave. You made it more fun.
Still do.
Same here brother.

Have your fun, Dave. You deserve it. You earned it.
The man is a showman's showman! Still captivating the audience! Love you David! ❤💯
You're BEAUTIFUL EMILY, Chris

Hello Emily. I know you're picture is small but like to know more about you. If you're single. Ty for replying back to me. Chris Tarin.🌹
This is the most melodic VH song and Dave’s best vocal within their catalog together. He sounds as effortless as a bird taking flight.
Dave, you're a puzzle thats never been completed and we love you just THAT WAY. Love you.
David’s voice is a part of my youth. So many great lyrics and songs and every time I hear him it just make me feel great. Thank you David Lee Roth.
Must be surreal to dance to music that you created and the world has loved and enjoyed and continues to.❤Thank you for being a part of the best times of my life.
I love David Lee Roth, and this is one of my favorite songs by VH. The guitar work in this one is very beautiful.
Dave, you magnificent crazy bastard! Thanks for all the great times and memories! Keep up the great work!
One of the greatest frontmen in rock history. Dave is an icon !🤟
Charming as hell! ❤️
Love him or hate him, Diamond Dave is 1 of a kind and I love him! Keep rocking and dancing Dave!
No, just love him. 👍
Good gracious the man has so much energy, He looks healthy
Dave really appears to love being Dave . It's nice to see someone who enjoys his life
The puzzle isn’t complete without you Dave! Keep dancing, and keep rockin! 🍻
Say what you want, Dave........is the man. Blessed to have rocked out as a teenager to Van Halen circa David Lee Roth.
Even brought the Danxe Goddexx, Toni Basil, in for some extra jazz at the end.....Dave finishing up strong! Amen to all of us, here.
From one Diamond to another brother from another mother. I love love love this!!! Keep it up Champ!!!!!!!
This is one of THE COOLEST videos I have seen in a looonnngg time, I love it! You do you Dave, we love ya!!!

David Lee Roth will always be the man from the time he took the stage till now he’s still commands it. He’s gorgeous and funny and amazing singer dancer, etc. when David Lee Roth was made, they broke the mold because there will never be another Diamond Dave❤
I wish I could go back to the year this first came out. It was a happy existence then!
Yes
Yeah it was. But realizing what I didn't know back then I'd be about half scared to try it again... barely made it the first time. But yeah...iffy...heck with it let's go.
Wasn’t it great? (:

Diamond Dave still has the moves! Thanks for giving a generation great memories
That’s about it, dude can’t sing anymore though. Which sucks..
Has to be incredible to dance and have so much fun to one of your own killer tunes!!! You deserve joy! Thanks Dave!
Not sure what I'm watching, but with DLR - fun will be had!
Can't help but smile along with Dave.
Big smile watching this on Monday morning before going to work! Thanks Dave!
One of the greatest feel-good tunes of all time. Cuts right to my soul every time. Keep having a blast Dave!
Honestly, one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. Portland probably in the 90’s?!?! Was great. Thanks.
In 79, I met them after concert in Paris, sneaking backstage with my best friend, we walked naturally like roadies (but so young, ha ha) Eddie told me he liked Eric Clapton’s music when he saw my transfert t-shirt, David was agitated like kind of dancing, there was « nice » girls for him and champagne bottles on a table, Alex left in a room, he had a problem to his leg… friendly Michael.. I remember the magic and so shy we couldn’t say one word.. security guys asked us gently to leave after we got some autographs .. teenage wildlife memory, I was 16 .. end of 70’s 16 was like an Angel … I practiced Kung Fu many years, I don’t sing I guess too shy and no special voice timbre but I still play guitar and also like to dance ha ha, I realized after years how DLR got an impact on some aspects of my life, health, a bit crazy, dance etc .. I guess he knows that being alive is better… and healthy
Please take me back to the 80s. I'm begging 😢😢😢
Nothing 80’s about this video….except, maybe DLR’s cheese….
This song dropped in 1979 but fair play lol
D.L.R IS V.H.!!! Most underrated rock voice ever. The BEST to ever do it.
He's the "Danny Kaye" of our generation! A triple threat. God bless you, Mr. Roth. Thank you for the smile.
🙄
Man if ya see my face in the comment I'm the long haired dude that grew up with Van Halen ,you were the ultimate showman ,talented, smart what a vocalist.
I think I may have borrowed your style more than once.
I'm a singer and been paid.
Nothing like a star though.
Just know you made our lives a lot more bearable.
Keep on rocking my friend your the ice cream man!!!
Gotta say this, Dave sure does enjoy life and that's the best thing you can do for yourself.
Damn what is Dave like 78?The way he moves when dancing around is amazing!Thanks for all the great music with Van Halen!
Been dealing with claim adjusters and auto body shop. Despite that my anger grows as to what I'm dealing with, this video helped to soothe my soul. Thank you. I needed this today.
DD doin the robot/lock-steps mixed with high kicks ftw
He threw in a few karate moves too ...
Diamond Dave, he's still got it.
He was and will be the best Frontman to hit the stage - Still got the moves at 70 - DLR the best :))))
Still getting it after all these years! Outstanding Sir, I have always appreciated you since my aunt's always played your records babysitting me! Godspeed friend!!
Been a tough few days for me, thanks Dave. I needed that.
Please please please stick around for a long while Uncle Dave - there's a fuck load of folks out here love your energy.
Love from Irn Bru country!
Love him or hate him. He is definitely one of the best frontman ever !!!!
Love Him.
Could you imagine if you were Dave's grandson? "Hey Pop Pop, do that dance thing again!"
I don't think Dave has ever been in a bad mood his whole life. More happiness & success to you, Mr. Roth!
Not publicly, but his reputation for being an a**hole is pretty well documented by many people
I imagine Dave has quite a few grandsons.....
Dear Dave, I don’t know what the hell this is, but I keep watching it. Great work. Much love and respect. -Jeff
Diamond Dave always shines. Keep that bling bling sparkling. You still have fans.

You will always know how to put on a show Dave, thank you. You and your dance partner look to having an absolute blast. Fun shows through.

David Lee Roth doesn't get enough credit for being a great dancer, in fact, iconic
+++++++++++ ALL THE NON-$ELL-OUT-WAYS. MULTIFACETED-REAL-MAN BEYOND EGO. GO GO GO DLR!
He's also a great martial artist, so not surprised.
No lol he busted his nose open on mic stand lol
Right up there with Mick!!
He always seemed extremely comfortable with his body.
The diamond continues to shine at 70 years old. It's a shame that Van Halen ended before its time.
God bless you, Dave. You and the boys brought us so many good times and memories
Ya still got it Dave😏😉😍
You look incredible too!
Thanks for all the awesome tunes!!😘
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still got the moves, slim and fit... David lived and partied hard his whole life...good to see he is still kicking it!

Very creative guy, I love that he’s just creating and sharing things like this, a green screen and some cool dancing on a Saturday night
