Yup. It was Wolfie the whole time that wanted this song on the setlist. Unbelievably, Van Halen had never played this song live until this tour. Mind boggling I would submit you that maybe Ed wrote the baseline and recorded it from Michael Anthony. Outside of the big songs: eruption Spanish fly cathedral Bellucci theorem. This song is incredibly difficult to play. I'm glad to see it in person. Thank you Wolfie for pulling this off. I miss you. Ed Van Halen
34 years later...Dave's voice gone and Ed clearly arthritic, but still going. I loved it. I tell you what though. Back in 1981 these guys were incredible live.
DLR going out for an evening walk wearing bright coloured jacket lol Good to hear they had performed Dirty Movies! Am deeply fond and this very underrated tune
God we miss u Edward!! I am so proud to have had your music in my life... This tour he plays FANTASTIC, this version is definately testament to that!!!
Thank you guys very much for coming to Charlotte, NC, PNC pavilion, back in 2015, you guys were remarkable. Especially thank you Sir Eddie Van Halen for the music you gave us, there will never be another, Heaven has a phenomenal guitar player, God bless you sir, I love you 🤘😞🤘
I must say I'm not a fan of DLR with his commentary instead of singing! How 30 years changes us all! One of my favorite VH songs - love seeing Wolfie and Dad and Unc. playing together! Sooo special! If you have not played live on stage with a band you might not understand the electricity that is passed among musicians, even more when it is family! Beautiful!
I read the comments, then i listen to the song.....i love the show and the vocals i don't know what are you all talking about... I mean ofcourse it's not 1970' but i loved it
@@ericperrault8705 it's not about that. It's about having enough humility to realize you can no longer do something and walk away with grace preserving what you had created. Dave was great! "WAS" Years of screeching screaming and singing "toasted" his voice and dude "he can't sing anymore" and that's nothing to get down on him or criticize him for but be honest with yourself and everyone else about it "leave it alone" and move on. Don't charge fans insane ticket prices so they can come watch you hold the mic out to the audience to sing for you and talk the words to your songs because you can't do it anymore. You were telling that dude to get up on stage okay really? He could, so could you, and me who can't sing also could. I'm certain we could all hold a microphone out to an audience and say words to music. That's sadly pretty much where Dave's at and I'm majorly surprised that Eddie was okay with that? But anyways
Absolutely , everybody on here bitching about Dave’s voice is crazy. I was fortunate enough to see them on that tour and every single song they played sounded exactly like they did on the record. It was easily the best concert I’ve been to.
Eddie starts fumbling the intro and "Wolf" looks over at him like "WTF" hahaha We get it Wolf, Your dad rarely failed to play perfect. This may be the only video on You Tube.
Can not believe a bassplayer like wolfy in vh I,m vh fan from van halen I, if somebody tell me michael anthony leave vh and have a new basplayer like this I don't believe, awesome wolfy
@@devinlaheywho eeehhhh, maybe cut him some slack, man. it’s clearly not his first language. I had no problem understanding the point he was trying to make.
In the studio eddie used a slide overdub. During the live shows he had to mix the lead slide parts and rhythm parts. Therefore, he just played the slide parts without the slide so he could transfer to the rhythm section easier
Except all of Dave's music slaps on anything Sammy did. Who's voice isn't shot in there mid sixties. In my opinion the Van Halen 3 musically slaps anything Sammy did with the band. I love Sammy Standing Hampton 3 lock box fantastic albums.
Why would you try and forget you just saw and heard Eddie play guitar? I’m thrilled that I can see and hear it……particularly this song, rarely done live.
Dave wearing his jacket from his other job(directing traffic)this from a guy that was one of the all time greatest heavy rock/metal front-men. to what?.. is he losing the plot?
Isn't it nice to see they dressed for the occasion? They look like a garage band practicing. They looked great in their heyday because they had on at least bright and colorful clothing to enhance their live performance!
I don't believe Wolfie will outlive his father. He certainly doesn't have the songwriting ability of his own material he's released. You'd think he would've at least learned how to construct a song as brilliant and talented as Eddie Van Halen. Wolfie's "Distance" is weak and childish at best!
We all miss Eddie and Fair Warning, but this was sloppy and BAAAAD. Reminds me of the final Black Sabbath tour. Van Halen was my first concert (4th of July 1981 Cobo Hall in Detroit). They opened the show with Unchained. Blew my mind. I'll keep those memories alive by not watching sh!t like this. I'd rather see Chickenfoot play Highway Star. Sorry.

Ladies and gentleman, we are very fortunate. We got to see the greatest band in history. Glad to be alive.
well said !!!
Dirty movies is one of my favorite songs. In fact Fair Warning was my favorite album song to song.
Me too
They’re fun to sing too
Yep, my favorite VH tune and album also. This track is so underrated!

I was so EXCITED when I saw Dirty Movies on the playlist for this tour!!!
One of my fav albums
My favorite VH song from their best album!
What...a ...rock...song. Just artistry.
This is a great one for Dave to sing.
It would have been great if he didn't try to prove that he can still sing high, and do his stupid ad libs. He could have done this great.

one of the best VH songs ever - this entire album is one of those I'd purchase without vocals...and I prefer DLR.
Un Chef d'œuvre ce morceau... parmi beaucoup d'autres de Van Halen.
I love it
I read the comments, then i listen to the song.....i love the show and the vocals i don't know what are you all talking about... I mean ofcourse it's not 1970' but i loved it
I was there that night with my son.
The odd/incredible sounds he made for Dancing in the Streets will be buried with him. Damnit
Great song!
This rocks, i love it.
Holy shit, is dave actually singing this song and not talking the song?
Yeah, but this tune doesn’t have a lot of melody in it either…
Touring is a nightmare on the vocal chords.

this is one of the best performances i’ve seen musically from them in the modern day... dave NAILED his vocals

“Lights, cameras…Action!”
Proving yet again that Fair Warning may be their nastiest album. Killer song.
Man I miss Eddie.
Dave’s construction jacket is just a prime look for him😂🤣
he's definitely got the lazy foreman look to him
I thought it was his EMT jacket.
I thought they found some tow truck driver to stop on stage and rap a little bit.
Man at work uniform...
He is crazy 😂😂
@@joepipe1010 I believe that is his EMT jacket.
They're so tight on this super complicated song
Beautiful!
He’s a lot different than the 80s dave
Love diamond dave
Lights. Camera. Uh-Action!!

We get it Wolf, Your dad rarely failed to play perfect. This may be the only video on You Tube.
Have you heard the record at all? He nailed it
@@Juan-y3c2n Yes, and he flubbed the first 15 seconds of this. Have you heard the album? Go listen to it again. Then you sure hear it.
Red Rocks
Eddie was on his own plane. Could see how Dave was pissed!
Metronome in bringing up the rears!
Wow! Simply wow! Does Dave ever sound horrible!
awesome!
Why is Dave dressed like he is about to tow someones car?
Roth looks like Huey Lewis here.
Who’s that guy in the high viz jacket?
The singing might not be the best but everything is just so good
The "singing" doesn't have to be the best. It should be at least sung as close as possible to the original recording, right? RIGHT!
I am an Uber Van Halen fan, but this is a bunch of has-beens and one never-was
awesome
Dave directing traffic after the show?
Come on Dave give me a break
Heard he just got thrown off the KISS tour.. Can you blame them ??
One break coming up!!
@@MonsterMetalManiaclike kiss is doing much better

Can not believe a bassplayer like wolfy in vh I,m vh fan from van halen I, if somebody tell me michael anthony leave vh and have a new basplayer like this I don't believe, awesome wolfy
@@devinlaheywho thanks but it´s enough for me I live in spain, no need english just listen Van Halen

King Edward tone!
The Busted Hip LP
The peewee Herman cinema 😂
Always thought this was a slide guitar.
In the studio eddie used a slide overdub. During the live shows he had to mix the lead slide parts and rhythm parts. Therefore, he just played the slide parts without the slide so he could transfer to the rhythm section easier
@@pathos1016 Ah, thanks!

Al Never Missed a Beat
Wow. This. Is. Van. Halen. At. There. Best.
If this IS "Van Halen at their best," I'd hate to see them at their worst!
Thank God they got Roth back !
Vanhager was awful.
Dave's voice is shot! Nothing like his earlier days. Sammy still can sing but Dave sounds like an old man.
Except all of Dave's music slaps on anything Sammy did. Who's voice isn't shot in there mid sixties. In my opinion the Van Halen 3 musically slaps anything Sammy did with the band. I love Sammy Standing Hampton 3 lock box fantastic albums.
Damn Wolfgang big lol.
Wolfie Van Halen needs to get his weight under control especially for being a 24-year-old man at this concert!
Ouch
Alex just going through the motions I believe he's getting tired literally of playing
ed is also going through the motions big time. his attack is gone.. either that or he is just old
Lol, you guys are idiots.
Whatever.... this is hard song play for a guitar player to stay in rhythm . And one of the most under rate guitar riffs !

Al looks like old Ginger Baker :)
This song can be retired for live shows. Love it though.
I am going to try and forget what I just saw. Sometimes its better to just remember the way things used to be.
Why would you try and forget you just saw and heard Eddie play guitar? I’m thrilled that I can see and hear it……particularly this song, rarely done live.
Who’s playing Bass and Drums here??
Wolfie Van Halen
Eddies son.Alex van halen on drum's
did you just ask who the drummer is? Da Fuq
Fucking Alex VH!
?
Wolfy’s backing vocals don’t sound good here. Michael Anthony would have made this song sound so much better.
Is this about his daughter?
He never had kids
@@lisaallen918 Well as far as he knows 😂
Sorry, with all due respect, but Alex Van Halen looks like Charlie Watts in this light :-)
I was thinking the same.
God dave.. ugh
No more high notes for Dave...
Dave wearing his jacket from his other job(directing traffic)this from a guy that was one of the all time greatest heavy rock/metal front-men. to what?.. is he losing the plot?
I'll stick to their prime years, not this travesty.
How r you gonna roll when you’re 61

REMOVE ROTH ....THIS IS SO KICKASS ...ALWAYS SMILING....R.I.P KING EDWARD
Sammy Hagar....at 75, still far better than David Lee Roth. Sammy can still sing his ass off.
Man these guys just don't know when to hang it up
They're better off in the studio
Not !
Not only out of tune, but Dave doesn't bother to (re)learn the words to his own songs for paying customers. Does that make anyone else a little mad?
Agreed. ... He should have put a little bit more into it. Could have been much better.
That guitar is hard and nasty… Shut up Dave. You ruined it…
sad
What a mess.
Wolfgangs priority should be weightlosing, Fat as that and hre will much more short lived than his father.
I think he eats what mommy makes on the Food Network.
@@spookerz35 Then her mom basically kills him
Oh dear........."much more short lived than his father".......
