The one Van Halen concert I went to had to be the single worst concert I have ever been too. DLR came down from the ceiling on the surfboard at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium and he was so drunk/high he fell off the surfboard on to the stage. When he fell, he busted the mic and tried to sing for a few minute before a stage hand ran up and forced him to switch mics. DLR slurred and mumbled through two songs before nearly everybody left.

@playbassken Жыл бұрын

@@silentrage5425 he did that at several shows, sadly. Out of the three times I saw VH with DLR he was only good once (1983 tour), did mostly babbling on the 1984 tour and absolutely horrible on the Fair Warning tour.

This particular song was from the last album to feature David Lee Roth as the lead singer. After Roth left to pursue a solo career, he would be replaced by Sammy Hagar. Some of those with him singing feature "When It's Love" and "Why Can't This Be Love?". If you want some more with Diamond Dave, I would recommend "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love", "Running With the Devil" and "Jump", just to name a few. One interesting contribution that lead guitarist Eddie Van Halen made to someone else's project was to Michael Jackson's "Beat It", where he plays an epic guitar solo.

In 1978 a couple band-mates and I were on the way to a gig. The guy driving started talking about a tune he'd heard earlier that day...a cover of an old Kinks tune called 'You Really Got Me' with this wild-ass-sounding guitar player. Within minutes the tune comes on the radio - WRIF outta Detroit. My friend yells "THIS IS IT", THIS IS IT...LISTEN TO THIS SHIT" and pulls into a parking lot. We stared at each other barely believing what we were hearing. In those few minutes we witnessed what would become a seismic shift in the way rock and roll guitar players would approach their instruments forever. Looking back, it was a cool moment. The classic debate; "who is the single most influential guitar player of all time?" is one that still rages among friends and aficionados. Pick your player and make your case, but EVH is gonna be tough to beat. Sorry everyone for the long story...after watching Ms. Diane's reaction I felt compelled.

Great reaction, Van Halen gets their name from the brothers Eddie Van Halen - one of the most inventive and important guitarists in rock history, another video worth the watch is Van Halen Eruption Guitar Solo, and the drummer Alex. Other members were Michael Anthony-bass guitar and the first singer David Lee Roth and second Sammy Hagar. A fun fact is this song was part of a psychological warfare campaign against the former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega in December 1989 by the US Army. He had holed up in the Vatican Embassy in Panama during the US invasion of Panama. The army parked some humvees outside the embassy with loudspeakers and played it amongst other songs to convince him to surrender, which he did 10 days later.

Fun fact II: Supposedly, the first choice to replace Dave was Patty Smyth, from Scandal ("Warrior" and "Goodby to You") Fun Fact III: Supposedly early on there were questions about Dave's singing. Someone at the label suggested Sammy, but they stuck with Dave. For a while at least.

"Day On The Green" was legendary. I only got to attend one of them, but it was the first "festival concert" I'd ever gone to. I still remember hearing on the radio while driving to work about Bill Graham dying... it was a shock, because his name had been associated with all the concerts that defined my youth. There will never again be a time like that era, but hopefully newer up-and-coming bands will fill the gap into the future... It's been a "long, cold winter" for good rock music, but it does seem to be coming back these days. 😋

In 1977 myself & a few buddies (teenagers )went to day on the green with Led Zep , Rick Derringer, Judist Priest . Got there the night before and broke through the cyclone fence sometime in the early morning and went to the front gate A few hours later Bill Graham came up to us and started scolding us, calling us bad citizens & line cutters. Even as a young dumb teenager I did feel bad and remember it to this day My musician friends laugh 😆

When I was 16, I saw VH on the 1984 tour in Providence. Michael Anthony left the stage for a few minutes and came back with the Jack Daniel's bass which was delivered to him mid-show. The "Panama" video was filmed during the Providence and Philly shows. We had seats somewhere around the 8-12th rows and I made it into the video! I'm just a blurry figure in a panning shot of the crowd, but when VH comes up in conversation, I like to say "Yeah, I like them- I was in one of their videos". Then I change the subject or walk away.
