If my camera work didn't ruin it for you, and you appreciated me uploading it, contribute (if you can spare) a buck or two. I make no money from views, all add revenue goes to the acts. I wonder who does get the money though. The artist or the record companies? The artist owns the 'author' rights and typically the record company owns the 'mechanical recording' rights. But they didn't record it... I did.

This is why the 80s were the best for shows! You can keep your giant screens and pyro, I just want to see really great musicians and the best frontman ever doing their thing. I was fortunate enough to see this show and Eat em & Smile at Nassau Colloseum, and they were the best shows I ever saw. So over the top it was just insane.

The fact that Dave closed out with Jump really shows how much class and love for us fans he has. Reading Ted's excellent autobiography and other VH history stuff, most of us VH fans knew Dave wasn't really on board with the keyboard direction off the start. But the fact that he took hold of the song, got an amazing line up, and they closed an awesome set with it really says a lot of great things about the Diamond Dave we all love. He could have closed with Yankee Rose, a number of things that were his. Instead he and the amazing band delivered one heck of a performance on a song he came full circle on. No matter how you slice it, ya gotta love the man. There are just some people that there will always only be one of, that no one can touch. Elvis, Billy Idol, Diamond Dave. They will always live as icons in rock history. And deserve to.

@kwmproperty7379 Жыл бұрын

He left Van Halen because Jump was the final nail in the coffin. The fact that he closed his show with a song he hated, really says a lot about the fact that he didn’t have anything on his own, and he was trying to hold on to his Van Halen coattails. The rest of his career after VH speaks for itself….

@RockDawg77 Жыл бұрын

Trying to figure out the logic here. 1. We're on a DLR page. 2. It's a pretty darn good concert. 3. Dave had quite a few albums that most metalheads, mtv, the 80s & 90s rock scene, and a lot of VH fans thought were pretty good. Oh, and sold pretty well. Followed by really successful tours, with more albums with more amazing musicians. Which brings us back to number 1. We're on a DLR page. Oh, yeah. 4. Why did you click on this to get here? 5. Why did you choose to comment? 6. Are you trying to start a I hate Dave so I'm going to post circular logic posts club? and probably most importantly, 7. You obviously didn't read of the VH biography, history, Crazy From The Heat, Ted T autob. books. But thanks for playing. Most of us VH fans are pretty chill, so we'll still let you hang.

I remember how disappointed I was that Billy quit the band, but after I heard the album I understood, it was a disappointment. To go from Eat em and Smile to Skyscraper was just too much for me. The songs on Skyscraper were overproduced and just too synth pop. Of course the musicianship was incredible, it just wasn’t for me. Eat ‘em and Smile was raw and went straight for the jugular. Even Dave tried to go back to the heavier style after this with Jason Becker after Vai bailed, but by then the music world was kind of done with Dave. Which was too bad, I really liked that album a lot, but then tragedy struck Jason which still breaks my heart. This show and era was pretty much Dave at the height of his musical abilities and sadly his solo career success. I wish he could’ve maneuvered his way back into VH at this point, but it wasn’t to be. I don’t mean to crap all over this show because frankly no one could put on a better show than Dave, I just wasn’t crazy about the musical change from Eat em and Smile to this and the loss of Billy. But a big thanks to whoever put this up because it brings back great memories of my late 20’s…man has time flown by…

I wish DLR had gotten Warners to hire a professional film crew to shoot a couple of shows and release this tour on VHS and laserdisc.

I saw all the big 80’s acts live and this show may have been the best. Also in the top 3 for me: Crue - Dr. Feelgood tour Def Leppard - Hysteria tour

So cool to see this!!! I saw DLR at Hammersmith Odeon 31 August 1988 (and at Donnington too). Hammersmith was a great gig and by today's standards such an intimate venue. Matt Bissonette on bass was really brilliant to those of us lucky enough to be front row, and was handing us loads of guitar picks. Vai was a little more stand offish!! He arrived in a limo out front of the venue and got mobbed!

Steve Vai is the most charismatic guitarist I've ever seen. Humping the floor while two hand tapping your guitar? Even Eddie didn't do that and he's my fav guitarist of all time.

Watch some Prince shows for more charisma. Similar creative moves, great dancer and guitarist.
