The very first MTV music video I had ever seen was Jump by VanHalen in 1984. I walked into my buddies house (they had just gotten cable) and he was like dude, we can watch music now. Nice!
I LOVE IT.....DAVID WILL ALWAYS BE VAN HALEN. VOICE IS GREAT. Just times are different , he'll catch up again....MUSIC IS AWESOME. Lets remember VH isn't in there 20's anymore. And I think that is what people expect to see 1984. Hate to tell you it 2015..
Michelle Monroe Uh no! Van Halen can't perform their best selling material because they didn't have many top 10 hits with DLR. They never had a #1 album with DLR in the band and EVERY album Sammy was on went #1!! That is fact. Sammy is LEAP YEARS ahead of the idiot DLR is. And get your hearing checked. Dave sounds AWFUL. Sounds like he's trying to poop Wolfgang when he sings.
Van Halen was very organic with those early albums. It was like hearing music off the street. Sammy is great but the music evolved to a produced radio friendly love song heavy mix. The early Van Halen will be remembered way more in my opinion. Just listen to "Woman and Children First" That record feels like it's a live unrehearsed jam session. Sammy was an awesome rock singer but a bit predictable.
ive been critical of Dave as of late......but this was a good performance i thought.....there was a genuine joy and snap and the sound was good....you know there is no hard rock guise left here .....but this made me realize that they have great playing and above that great songs....so high impact melody is what we are left with as Dave ages....but you know this was infinitely better than tons of the contempoary garbage that pass for music these days......and it certainly beats out a a dj playing records on this show by a mile...................i love Alexs' cymbal sound on this show and in front of these people......they not used to this...you can see it... : )
Dave... Please!! My first concert ever was the 1984 tour. It was a dream come true. You guys killed it back then. No doubt you still can and will. But please Dave...stop screaming unless it's at the point in a song when we all scream/screech with you. You could still be hitting the notes on songs like Jump perfectly. I know....you are a supremely confident showman. We get it. We just want you to shine(like we know you can) and shut up all those Sammy( no offense to Sam) fans saying you just don't have it anymore. We look forward to more of what we've waited over 30 years for....the real VH. After all... "EVERYBODY WANTS SOME". ;)
xraeddie, I hated when Sammy came in, then I saw them at Monsters of Rock and he grew a little on me. But I am a Sammy fan now just because he can really sing, and doesn't act like Dave.
F White He did Really good I thought... his voice has lacked last 2 yrs... but this performance was good.. He cant Jump around any more so he Moves about
Dave sounds better here than in previous recent concerts. But what happened to Wolfie? He's gained a lot of weight yet he is still a young man. Bring back Mike and Sammy!
cant they go down a couple keys cause DLR is obviously too old to hit the notes properly anymore... i feel if they tuned down the songs he would sing them allittle better... also he looks like a HAPPY farmer LOL I Wanna know what hes smoking... can I have some... Im JK LOL
Roth is all over the place i always wondered if was ADD or Bi Polar. Anyway Roth still has his voice he just isnt using it right. He is screaming when he shouldnt be and doing some other shit. Aside from that this sounds pretty good. Im just wondering why the hell did another set of remasters just pop???? they were done in 2000 now again in 2015????
Edward, Alex and Wolfgang,...Wow! Dave ? Hey, he's DLR and we're not I guess? Pretty good stuff. The audience seemed engaged, few of whom were alive when the song was released!
f Diamond Dave in the 70s/80s saw what became of him in 2015 he would be f'n pissed. God this is awful. Eddie does look great though. Kudos to you for cleaning up your act but shame on you for your stubbornness and destroying the legacy of your band.
flyguyinpc this is Vaudeville bullshit dave.. making Jump turn into an estrogen rock song for women.. he should be ashamed of himself.. Eddie, Alex and Eddies fat kid wolfgang at least sounded good.. I'd rather hear Cherone than Dave at this point, and thats saying alot.
+jnixa1010 Come on,it's Diamond Dave!!!He's full of shit,a clown but in the end a good laugh,and still a great frontman.When i wasa teen ,that was out of this world all the side kicks,jumping legs wide open from the drum riser and on.Even today,thinking about it,he still ok,he's a legend.Hi from France :)
I am so happy Dave and Eddie reunited… this very performance is so amazing… the energy… the joy🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the best and my fav version of jump...everyone is happy .they rocking it ..best ...always will be the best.... Legends
This song used to make me happy but now it makes me sad as I see Eddie so happy playing here.. so sad to have lost such a great guy.
You can rip on Diamond Dave all you want, but the audio is incredible. Loud and crisp, one of the best live versions on YT.
The very first MTV music video I had ever seen was Jump by VanHalen in 1984. I walked into my buddies house (they had just gotten cable) and he was like dude, we can watch music now. Nice!
outstanding !! thank you Ellen !!
Que pedazo de banda no lo puedo creer que el gran edi van halen no este entre nosotros el maestro del rock moderno
Just think good thoughts!.....he gave us more than any other guitarist ever!......he is leading the heaven band of em all!
I love the Sammy version of Van Halen but you just can’t beat Dave and those first 6 albums.
R.I.P Eddie we miss you
Van Halen for ever⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🎸🎸🎸🎸
his enthusiasm ends up costing his pacing and tone. happy to be there
Diamond Dave is a legend.

Michelle Monroe Great point and I address this issue,then as a 48 year old man sing Panama in a video entitled VAN HALEN panama vocal workout.

First time I’ve watched Ellen
Son asks what band is that dad. That son is the legendary van halen

L🍎ve this. Kx
Dave Dave Dave What the hell are you doing. Crazy uncle Dave who gets drunk at the wedding and does a David Lee Roth impression
Those guitarists are seriously fantastic
RIP BROTHER!!!!!!
Eddie: 10, Alex: 10, Wolfie: 10 .... Dave not so much, he got back at the end of Jump.
I like Sammie better so I agree
AC/DC THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DLR ROCKS!! HE IS THE BEST FOR VH
Why is this your secret collection!?
What. The. Hell. Is. Dave. Doing?! I feel like I'm watching Ed Grimley in a DLR suit singing "Jump" at Tuesday night karaoke.
F White He did Really good I thought... his voice has lacked last 2 yrs... but this performance was good.. He cant Jump around any more so he Moves about
I agree this sucked Godzilla balls
A comeback means coming back to where you were. Poor david.
He looked just like Frasier Crane when he came out on stage. lol
Man! Do men get better with age or what?
YUK!
Eddie and Alex still have it. Roth? Not so much.
Dave sounds better here than in previous recent concerts. But what happened to Wolfie? He's gained a lot of weight yet he is still a young man. Bring back Mike and Sammy!
The Wolfster.
Massive
Nunber one
I know dave isnt what he was but in whole what a kick ass performance by eddie and alex dave I like no matter
cant they go down a couple keys cause DLR is obviously too old to hit the notes properly anymore... i feel if they tuned down the songs he would sing them allittle better... also he looks like a HAPPY farmer LOL I Wanna know what hes smoking... can I have some... Im JK LOL
Actually sounded good.
there is nothing worse than old people trying to be rockers again. this is just plain sad.
We. Want. Mikey. Back. Please!
tomulator We Want Van Hagar Back! 👊
Roth is all over the place i always wondered if was ADD or Bi Polar. Anyway Roth still has his voice he just isnt using it right. He is screaming when he shouldnt be and doing some other shit. Aside from that this sounds pretty good. Im just wondering why the hell did another set of remasters just pop???? they were done in 2000 now again in 2015????
Edward, Alex and Wolfgang,...Wow! Dave ? Hey, he's DLR and we're not I guess? Pretty good stuff. The audience seemed engaged, few of whom were alive when the song was released!
Eddie was the man! Not much for Daves vocals here
Eddie looks like Bill Engval
DLR mic - might as well jump, Jump !
eVh mic - Jump !
Wolfgang mic - Chomp !
Ouch
DLR was HORRIBLE! I don't think he even realized Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang were laughing AT him. He's so done!
Thank God Dave recovered 60% of his voice after performing on Kimmel. That was embarassing. He needs a full time vocal coach.
Sammy is still better. Always has been, always will be.
É o governador de São Paulo. João Dória?😳😀🇧🇷
não, esse não é o Black Sabbath...
Van Halen waited 40 years to play to an audience of menopausal's.
Good God, DLR is just AWFUL there. Sammy NEVER embarrassed himself in VH like that or anywhere else for that matter, even in 2024.
It is incredibly annoying to have your splash screen take up so much space leaving a 40% screen to watch video
f Diamond Dave in the 70s/80s saw what became of him in 2015 he would be f'n pissed. God this is awful. Eddie does look great though. Kudos to you for cleaning up your act but shame on you for your stubbornness and destroying the legacy of your band.
flyguyinpc this is Vaudeville bullshit dave.. making Jump turn into an estrogen rock song for women.. he should be ashamed of himself.. Eddie, Alex and Eddies fat kid wolfgang at least sounded good.. I'd rather hear Cherone than Dave at this point, and thats saying alot.
this suxs bring back sammy and mike
just laghing
Sammy is so much better
OMG I'm sorry but that's pathetic!!!!!
Something about Roth I just don’t like. I saw them at the Concord Pavilion. Roth ruined the freaking show. He talked to much instead of singing
Van Nepotism
Weakest VH song. Too overplayed.
Dear Lord this is embarasing.
Anthony M The only time Dave sounds good with VH is when Sammy sings in his place. :-)
stefan ray STRAIGHT FIRE!!!!
+jnixa1010 Come on,it's Diamond Dave!!!He's full of shit,a clown but in the end a good laugh,and still a great frontman.When i wasa teen ,that was out of this world all the side kicks,jumping legs wide open from the drum riser and on.Even today,thinking about it,he still ok,he's a legend.Hi from France :)
So this is embarrassing? Explain why?
And to think that Eddie Van Halen wrote the keyboards and the guitar solo for this entire song And for the song "right now"
van halen was always good on instruments and technique but this live performance is so gringe
bring back Mike to sing DLR IS A SAD JOKE WOW ! CRINGE HORRIBLE
dlr should retire period hes a joke
