The BEST $35.20 I ever spent on a concert nothing has come close in a energetic performance like Skyscraper concert. What a performance. Only get 1 DLR in this lifetime.
Ozzy Thomas Gillday indeed. My first ever concert was summer 1980, San Juan Puerto Rico. Van Halen came with the Women and Children First your. I can still feel my ears ring and remember every song they played. The most ironic part is what my dad paid for it $12.50... Where have all the good times gone???....🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The song was great but seemed like a "bait and switch" for the Skyscraper album --- most of the songs on that record are not very good and Dave's career declined
He was such a great performer!!! And gorgeous when he was young. This one of the best songs he did solo, nobody can top his showmanship & that’s what you want when u go to a concert.. I miss the 80’s & 90’s we had the best music!!
Thank you I needed this today! I remember like yesterday looking up Dave on the boxing ring and just stunned for his performance. I actually followed him all over Japan on that tour. It was great time. All the good memories. Still have the tour bandana :-)
Has to be one of the most uplifting songs ever written, by one of the greatest frontmen 😎👍 One of the greatest rock showmen of all time. Dude this song is so catchy, i love it Loved this.
Lovely! Dave, you are looking so comfortable in your own skin here and the climbing views are fantastic! One of my favorite songs 🎵 and congrats on the climb!!
80’s clips like this are like a DeLorean time machine to me. A decade full of excess and free of the choking political correctness and restrictions we have to suffer nowadays.
Im 48yrs old im just getting into D L R He has inspired me to push thru i faught cancer im back on my feet pushen an David has Been inspiring me to Keep Going Thank you 🙏 ❤
Total respect brother, glad you fought through the battle with Cancer!!💪🏼💪🏼. DLR is a total inspiration on and off the stage, but as are you for keeping your mind to push forward! Thank you for watching
Dave supposedly wasn’t happy with the more keyboard heavy direction of Van Halen’s music...and his biggest solo hit ends up being a keyboard heavy song. It’s also worth noting that Steve Vai despised Just Like Paradise but as always he did a great job of crafting unique guitar parts that added a more rocking feel to the track.
/Best Freggin performance on any rock artist. This should be digitalized and streamed forever as of the honor of our greatest rock artist in history Van Halen
@@s1iznc1d34 all I'm saying is not all of Sammy's songs were "cheesy pop love tunes" listen to 0u812.. black and blue and sucker in a 3 piece kick ass, amongst others
@Tony Mc Tony or @J. Harris Blanche Dude...you really think people don't notice your posting the exact same drool under a different name? What's up? Troll game gettin slow? Dave turn down your amorous advances?
This tour was the only time I saw DLR so I cant speak about his typical show quality. I can say that this show to date is the only one I ever walked out of. I was there mostly to see Steve Vai but, Dave's vocals were terrible that night. We got the usual high kicking, mic stand twirling show he was famous for but it was a big disappointment otherwise. I really wanted to like it.
Hola que tal! Desafortunadamente no tengo más de este concierto. Estos clips son del especial de TOSHIBA. Si encuentro más yo te digo y lo subo vale?👍🏼
Everyone gets old. He's still a black belt in Karate. I still wouldn't mess with him. As far as his singing goes, like I said, everyone gets old. When you go see someone who is old keep that in mind and just enjoy them in their golden years. Sure they may not be as good as they once were. Who cares? Just being in the same place as them watching them do their magic is well worth the admission price.
@@anthonyfazio503 Sorry,, he may be this and he may be that....but he lost his mojo years ago. The band is playing Van Halen tunes but he's singing show tunes, or country twang. Years ago everyone wanted to either be with, or be like Dave....now, my great grandma is cooler than he is. Go watch the interview he did on Joe Rogans pod-cast. I defy you to watch the whole thing....Dave is just unbearable.
He's like a 60-year-old version of himself at the Riviera singing a song that was made in his twenties. Zero energy - phoning it home. Damn, Dave...at least pretend you want to be there. This is probably my favorite song ever, now I'm depressed. :\
In typical David Lee Roth fashion, turns a great studio song into an absolute turd live. He has always sucked live. Just sing the damn song instead of talking through half the lyrics.
Not gonna sugarcoat it, my grandmother could sing better, he’s not even trying, the original radio version is like night and day, he should have retired at 28
This tour sucked compared to “Eat Em & Smile - 1986”, I saw both tours at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto Canada. It was better with Billy Sheehan there and a lot less glam and keyboards.
Has to be one of the most uplifting songs ever written, by one of the greatest frontmen 😎👍
Pretty sure the keyboard player wrote it
@@mawds2k And DLR as well
Steve Vai

Have to disagree! The concert before with Billy Sheehan on bass was better! Saw them both!
@@LuisRodriguez-cf4tf agreed saw van Halen in 80 it was great dave did a flip kick off the risers we all went crazy
Good God alright I remember when concerts used to cost only $35 🤦
If there's any one song that catches the spirit of the 80's as a whole, this very well could be that one song.
If there's one song Roth got right after VH it's this one. Listen to those back up vocals. Playing with All stars!!!!!!!
The song was great but seemed like a "bait and switch" for the Skyscraper album --- most of the songs on that record are not very good and Dave's career declined
Well said. And this song is freaking awesome.
The best frontman VH ever had period.
Hands down, the greatest entertainment frontman that has ever walked on a stage.
Seriously?
sofakingdrunk66 u don’t agree?
@@MrGizmo5602 He's not the best showman I've ever seen..
sofakingdrunk66 who would you say is ?
@@MrGizmo5602 Freddie Mercury, Bruce Dickinson..
He was such a great performer!!! And gorgeous when he was young. This one of the best songs he did solo, nobody can top his showmanship & that’s what you want when u go to a concert.. I miss the 80’s & 90’s we had the best music!!
90's? Really? Over 70"s? Tripping.
One of the greatest rock showmen of all time.
Well....You Right when comes to ,,Entertainment,, but always has been a lousy Vocalist ... So in a way No Rock Showman
@@Hanzey1966 not so. He was sometimes top notch
Dude this song is so catchy, i love it
Heck yeah! Underrated song but straight up awesome man!
Pity it sounds so shit live
It's amazing
tellygoodnow your hearing is terrible
Thank you I needed this today! I remember like yesterday looking up Dave on the boxing ring and just stunned for his performance. I actually followed him all over Japan on that tour. It was great time. All the good memories. Still have the tour bandana :-)
Diamond Dave was amazing Front Man for VH and has some excellent songs on his own.
One of the greatest rock showmen of all time.

Saw that tour at Lakeland, Fl. One of the best shows I ever saw!
Such a happy rockin' great sing the words as loud as you can in the car song!!!!! Steve Vai is phenomenal! Video is perfect. 100% perfect !
Loved this.
No one is here for quality of vocals, thanks goodness🙂
Очень гуд!!!

Eat em and smile was such a good record. This one was just over the top pop metal cheese.
I saw him ridin' the board at Maple Leaf Gardens, was a stunning visual!😮
Damn!! Badass!!
Great memory from '88

Vai then joined Whitesnake and played lame keyboard drenched pap like Now You’re Gone so I guess money talks.
Saw this concert in New York Poison opened up for Diamond Dave on their open up and say Ahh.... album . Good times
Nice and respectful try , greetings from DLR's Greek fan club !
Brazil, Big David Lee Rock.

El mejor showman que he visto nunca!!! Como digo siempre
Saw him open this tour in the City this album was recorded in Vancouver Canada. Amazing Show!
Well done!
Love it 💎 🎸
@David Lee Roth Pleasure is all mine Diamond 💎 .. Listening to The Bottom Line from Skyscraper as we speak..Classic!
Went to this show in Jacksonville Poison opened Epic times
In his prime, he was one of the best Front Men (though IMO, no one beats Freddie Mercury)
He sings the way Vince Neil sings when he sings live.
Bad😂
What a time to be alive!
WE are all living inside our computers now
Nobody has more epitomized the beauty of California.
One of the most catchy songs ever
Leaving Van Halen was career sabotage for Dave
David Lee Roth is talent overload…. So good.
The guys just put your greatness I’m in Barrison now but in those days if your greatness
Professional kick boxer ever.!!!!!
/Best Freggin performance on any rock artist. This should be digitalized and streamed forever as of the honor of our greatest rock artist in history Van Halen
When the backing singers are better than the lead, it is the beginning of the demise. :(
stoned and beered up in Hollywood fla sporaturim 88 seen dlr on a board and in a boxing ring I think!
❤💎Dave ...
This album also produced "Hot Dog and a Shake"...
Lets not forget about Steve Vai. One of the best guitarists ever.
All 4 members of Van Halen needed each other. This is good but not even close to what the original 4 put together prior
@@s1iznc1d34 if all you listened to were the radio songs by sammy then your right.

@@FabyHeavenlyRock Why you ask/tell Sammy Hagar ??? Its Roth here we talk about....
@@Hanzey1966 I know brother! ,😎
EL MAS GRANDE!!!!
Edit editing right here.
Diamond David Lee Roth the best frontman to ever grace a stage. I saw the Eat 'em and Smile tour back in '86, it was a stellar production.
Best front Man 💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
What’s more 80s than Steve Vai with the three neck guitar?
Dave is worth 60 million now wow
Unique!
Eat em and smile was such a good record. This one was just over the top pop metal cheese.
My issue with it is too many DLR accompanying vocal tracks. Too much!
@Tony Mc Tony or @J. Harris Blanche Dude...you really think people don't notice your posting the exact same drool under a different name? What's up? Troll game gettin slow? Dave turn down your amorous advances?
@@Skulllywag I am humbled by such a loyal following. I own you now . Your feelings and thoughts must now need reassurance from my beliefs.
Has Dave ever sang a song as it is on the recordings? I think not lol
🤘😆🤘
Fantastic song. Dlr "sings" like he put in his 2 weeks notice in 1983. 0 fucks given
Live concert wasn't good so somebody had to make them look good
WHAT CITY IS THIS?
Damn dave ya coulda tried to sing the song a little here and there..
That's what always bothered me about his live performances...he'd miss his cues and leave out lines...
But hey at lest he jumped around a lot right ? lol
in his prime, very cool
😂the band sang more than Dave
Очень гуд!!!
A top frontman for sure. Singing in concert, not so much.
Is it just me that thinks Steve Vai guitar sounds a bit flat?
Or I’m I thinking to much!😂🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dave being himself 😂

He must've been on the Japanese water pipe that morning because he's singing his lines very late
DLR nearly sang it - good effort
this is japantour!!!
He's the Richard Simmons of rock and roll
Loving my diamond.....ahh yes!
Dave sing it like the recording bro cmon
mas no tienes de david lee roth como jump , yanke ross

What happened to him.....how could the coolest guy in the Universe end up the way he is now?
Everyone gets old. He's still a black belt in Karate. I still wouldn't mess with him. As far as his singing goes, like I said, everyone gets old.

@@anthonyfazio503 Its not Karate that he is a black belt in, thanks for your input though
It's called Father Time. It happens to every one of us, so appreciate everything you have, while you still have it. Nothing lasts forever!
Love Van Halen with DLR and Sammy. I must say, Sammy has a WAAAAYYYYY better voice...on record and live. No comparison.
代々木か横浜かな？
Daimond Dave
Billy's gone
He IS the best frontman EVER!
Great tune! Ya gotta admit, even though Dave was a great frontman, his live vocals pretty much sucked balls!
He's like a 60-year-old version of himself at the Riviera singing a song that was made in his twenties. Zero energy - phoning it home. Damn, Dave...at least pretend you want to be there.
This is probably my favorite song ever, now I'm depressed. :\
I absolutely LOVE =VH= with Dave era. But it's a good thing they moved on from Dave to Sammy at the right time.
He couldn't sing live even back then!
…..maybe better……💋🥇
Steve Vai.....
In typical David Lee Roth fashion, turns a great studio song into an absolute turd live. He has always sucked live. Just sing the damn song instead of talking through half the lyrics.
Best backing band ever.
Imagine how good they’d sound with a good singer.
Josh Billings imagine if you knew how to be in a band.. what’s the name of your band? You can never be a Diamond Dave.. you wish
The entire melodic chorus of this song isn't sung by Dave. Why does that not surprise me.
Dan Maler because you can’t sing
Dan perhaps because he’s running around and it’s hard to sing when you do that
He has a lot of energy here
Not gonna sugarcoat it, my grandmother could sing better, he’s not even trying, the original radio version is like night and day, he should have retired at 28
It was never only about the voice, was it?
This tour sucked compared to “Eat Em & Smile - 1986”, I saw both tours at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto Canada. It was better with Billy Sheehan there and a lot less glam and keyboards.
Now he looks and acts like an 80 year old Joe Biden 😂
