Thank you for the kind words It was my first ever multi cam, and I spent a few months on it, basically redoing it about 8 times over. Nothing was pre-planned and it was all put together after the show. Van Halen fans are the best, and i met some online that shared their original footage with me. If they come around again the filming and editing will be even better!

How fantastic is it to see Wolfgang performing with his beloved dad Edward van Halen?! EVH looks so proud, it's making me teary-eyed! Thank you for posting this!

I never thought that I would see this again. I was at this concert and lost my footage. Thank God for KZfaq! Plus, this video is a lot better than the one I had.

You are so welcome. I made this for true Van Halen fans, like yourself, and wanted to put it out there for free with no strings attached. Glad you enjoyed it!

I was at this show, it was awesome!

If I want a recorded version, I'll listen to the CD. This is raw, true, AWESOME Van Halen! The best Rock'n Roll Band EVER!!!

Fun show. Watching it on my 70" big screen. Appreciate the upload!

Famous people at this concert:- Henry rollins, Eddie vedder, Axl rose, Steve albini..

Glad I experienced this in 1984.

The video is quite good. All of you that made this happen I say thank you. There are some comments about Diamond Dave and bad vocals. I will have to agree with that. Oh well. When Van Halen and Van Halen 2 ..etc he was not known for being the best vocalist either I do not think. Yes Michael Anthony vocals is missing on some songs. Difficult for use old people(like me) to hear anything but Michael Anthony as background vocals on some of the songs. All in all I am glad this is on you tube though. thank you

I was there, Thank you for capturing this. Thanks so much, this is an awesome way to celebrate Eddie's 59th birthday. =)

I was there thanks for this. It’s awesome!

The legend EVH with the greatest frontman ever. Awesome!!!

I was at this show. Personally I thought they sounded awesome, like they always have with Dave. Yeah his voice has aged, but the point is that he's front and center, in fantastic shape, and conducting the 3 headed monster of Ed, Al, and Wolf. He moved all over the stage, did frequent roundhouse jump kicks, and was just entertaining as hell. Van Halen is supposed to sound rough around the edges. It's supposed to sound live, like a train is just about the go off the tracks but never does. That's what makes it perfect, because it's imperfect.

Alex sits on his drum throne and starts playing within 2 seconds. What a Beast!

Thank you for posting this show. I was at the show. The band was incredible. Ed was on fire. I can’t believe he has left us. RIP Ed. Wonderful editing , great job.

Thankful to have any VH in 2015....They've still got it, even at their age. Standouts amongst their peers.... Should go see it for yourself instead of trolling on YT.

Thank you, and thank you for the comments!

Those f*cking drums followed by that buzzsaw/siren at 0:15 will always give me chills. Thanks for the music and thanks for the memories, Ed!

Thanks for this. Was actually at this show and sweet to remember the memories from it

One of my favorite bands back in " the day " but DLR looks & sounds absolutely ridiculous!!! He's like a cruise ship singer lmao!

For ALL of you slogging Dave here - get a grip - this is what a real rock show sounds like sometimes. I think you're all to used to hearing auto-tuned, canned vocal concerts and stupid controlled environment vocal competition shows. Any singer is a human being and can sound like crap some nights. If a person is sick, getting sick or getting over a sickness, is suffering from a lack of sleep, stress, dehydrated etc. that can all lead to a bad vocal night. Just as your body is different each day - some days rested, some days tired - so can singers voice. We are not machines. There is a lot of money and over 100 people's jobs on the line with every tour so some nights the band HAS to go on even if everyone isn't 100%. Cancelling or postponing a show because of sickness can cost the tour 100,000's of dollars. Let's see any of YOU do a nearly 2 hour show 4-5 nights a week for months - all while living out of suitcase, sleeping in a different hotel room each night, constant weather and venue environment changes, bus & plane travel, jet lag etc. etc. etc. Do you honestly think that's an easy thing to do? Seriously? It's fucking hard for guys in their 20's, let alone people in their late 50's. In his 20's Dave was never a great live singer - he's a show, a ring leader - he's not fucking Pavarotti (even Pavarotti had his bad vocal nights). So to put that kind of expectation on him shows a complete ignorance of what it takes to be a touring musician - at ANY age.

Thank you so much for posting this, it’s fantastic!

Thanks for posting ! We like Van Halen! All Van Halen.

I love the band...they are perfect together. I do wish the sound was cleaner because these guys are really great.

this is awesome!

Thank you man

There will never be another like Eddie - he brought the whole rock guitar world to it's knees and then advanced it beyond measure....there are other technical players, copiers and wannabes, but only 1 EVH. I have been watching show after show since his unfortunate passing and it is mesmerizing and just feels good. Thank you God for EVH.

I love the way after all these years, Eddie still has the same childish smile

I must be hearing something different because I think they sound pretty good... especially for their age... Running With The Devil sounded awesome.. its not the 80's anymore people.. the big 3 are grandfathers.. lol

Thank you! I was there. The energy was so high that I didn't catch any of the subtleties of this performance. Great job putting this together.

I was there...last time i got to see the greatest play

I think this is pretty freakin' good. Having embarked on life-long rock fandom in the early 80's, I never thought I'd live to see the day that Roth fronted VH again. For that reason alone, that makes this awesome. As for his vocals, the only thing lacking is the super high scream stuff, and that just comes with age. Even so, that doesn't take away from the overall authenticity of a great original act. Geddy Lee, Brian Johnson, Ian Gillan, Rob Halford; all great vocalists who don't need to scream anymore (Geddy still can, as I saw him do so on 2112 live in '13). Falsetto and scream are two different things, one tears your voice up and the other doesn't. I know, because I regularly give 6 hour concerts in my living room, several days a week. Singing scream shit from the '70s hurts after a bit (Deep Purple's "Child in Time"), but falsetto, a-la Paul McCartney, can be done all night long (and is). My only advice to Diamond would be to incorporate more falsetto in place of scream parts on old songs (but who am I to advise him). Example: Jamie's Cryin'... "OOOoh... and now he's gone forever"; that doesn't hurt, but "AAAH Haaa YEaah!... Runnin' with the Devil..." hurts and can't be pulled off for hours, let alone days/weeks on tour, but for a few minutes in the studio, it's fine. And screaming is such fun! Where else but in the context of Rock can a grown man scream his lungs out and not sound completely insane? Besides, as Tom Petty says, "Rock isn't supposed to be perfect". If you want that, listen to Opera. Boring! (sorry, opera fans). I may have written too much; if you made it this far, thank you.

It's good to see David Lee Roth still around after his bout with cancer, and the fact that he can still sing really well at his age and after being treated for cancer is simply amazing! :)

I'm glad I saw the first 2 tours... THAT was the best!!!!

AWESOME!!!!! I LOVE THE NEW RECORD!!!!!

Turn dave's mic down.. lol

Goddamn, Eddie can play like the devil. But I don't know if it's me, but it seems like DLR is COMPLETELY out of key

Thanks for posting this great video. I grew up on Dave era VH--it was a very exciting time in my life and I'm glad I was there to experience it. Sammy has a great voice and I like him, but for me the Dave era was by far the greatest Van Halen era. Seeing Sammy join VH was--for me--a bit like seeing your mom with some other guy and wishing she was still with your dad.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!

I truly respect Van Halen and their unique sound over the years. But I truly must admit...Eddie and Alex still have it but Roth should find another occupation :(

dave looks like barry manilow now

It's so great to see Eddie has his smile back. They all look genuinely happy to be together. And Eddie can STILL make that guitar smoke! Thanks so much for sharing! Made me smile all evening!

friggin awesome! thanks for posting

lotta haters on here .. its amazing we still have all 3 of them vertical so I ll be quiet . God bless em , one of the greatest American rock bands ever .. however.. . I dont even know where to start with this show.. the stage design and set that always put them a cut above the rest is gone, with alot of the magic. everybody wearing street clothes ? not the VH I remember so thankful I saw them in 1981, 4 times in 1982 and 2 in 1984.. I wish they could have worked it out with Michael Anthony , still doesnt feel quite right even though Wolfgang is good thank you so much for posting this show , wondered what VH 2012 looked like..

Dave sounded rough man.

yes, Really. It was the most incredible listening experience i have ever had in my entire life. It took me back to being 16 years old. Nothing has come close to doing that ever before. The energy from the album was incredible. I kept asking myself, "how are they doing this". I'm certainly not lying to myself. It affected me in a way that led me to put that passion into creating this video. ADKOT is a true masterpiece, that grows and reveals something new each listen. I still love it.

This is so awesome! Thx for posting!

The Best Band The rock in World is .........Van Hallen.!!!@@!!!n

I love that drunk spin at 2:00 LOL! Then that amazing leg kick at 2:25 oh ya! Mmmmm 6:40...off key much Dave...here's another 7:35 for you enjoyment. Next we have Dave get pissed at the sound crew using his mic for all to hear 9:24...real professional ... 15:55 ahhhhhh I can't watch anymore too painful LOL!

out of the you tube concerts ive seen of the new reunited van halen,so far this one is the best.

I’m so glad you posted this. Thx! I never got to check em out w/ Wolf. This is kick ass!

Michael Anthony is the HEART AND SOUL OF HALEN. HIS backup vocals carried the band for years. dave hasn't been able to sing for 30 years or so. no Anthony NO halen would never pay my hard earned money for this shit, especially without Anthony.

DLR sounds like a lounge singer or one of those guys in Vegas that plays in the casino doing cover songs.

Thank you John!! .. It was a labor of love and a learning experience at the same time.

Thanks a lot for posting this, very cool!!!

The Van Halens sounds great. lead vocals are distracting.

All commenters on roth being bad, that's not the point, the point it's him, having fun in a live show, perfect live shows are a contradiction.

thank for this job guys ....amazing! congratulation

Amen!! And thank you for a great quality VH live footage!!!!

1:50:18 I think wolfie found him a beautiful girl at this point XD

I love Romeo Delight from this show for example, and Women in Love, and quite a few others. I am into all versions of Van Halen but prefer the original lineup. It's amazing to see the venom hurled about, like you have to pick and choose. How high a note can be sung is not the end all be all of a singer and songwriter. If it was, we'd all be Celine Dion fans. I wish the band would heal itself by addressing MA and Sammy issues by making up. DLR included. Would also stop the infighting..

Thanks for posting. Interesting to see how things have changed. Saw Van Halen as the headliners for Monsters of Rock in Seattle in the 80s. Way later than their heyday of being truly the essence of Van Halen.

The mighty van Halen, we love you!!!

They should of just got the singer from The Atomic Punks to tour the classic VH.

is it my imagination but does roth sound like carol channing?

Respect! Great gig! thanks guys for everything, now and ever ....

Fabulous job putting this video together from only audience recordings!

they sound great! this is live. who the hell expects a studio performance? dave did great. as eddie and alex. anyone saying dave should retire should f off. if youre not a vh fan why the hell are u here? i agree michael anthony should come back but that doesn’t mean they didn’t put on a good show.

Thank you for sharing this - I loved it - as I love them - NO MATTER WHAT! =VH=

Thanks for your job!

Thank You!!!!!!

Jesus some of u sure are harsh and probably young.First of all this is live and recorded with what ? These dudes are close to 60 and still jammin...I saw DLR 6 six yrs ago in Atlanta and he was on his game hard. I'm shocked the guy can still scream/sing like he does and still be able to speak after all these years but I agree they miss MA really bad.

that Van Halen concert with David Lee Roth sucked they need to bring Sammy and Michael

Folks get older and cant do things like they were younger. Its good enough for me as of Diamond Dave's voice is concerned. Love the man... Great to see them rocking on stage. Thanks for the upload.

i was at this show when i was a lil kid. probably 3rd grade. i didnt understand then but as i grew up i started to appreciate their music and more specifically, Eddie's musicianship. He was definitely the GOAT.

Could only get through a few songs before I tried to shove a pencil all the way in my ear to stop the

Dave looks like he's 80. Wtf? Lmfao

What else can be said, the mighty Van Halen. Period.

So glad i saw VH in the 90s with Sammy, one of the best gigs ever , this looks like hard work for everyone , the band , audience etc..Dave looks like my binman with his flat cap... R I P

When did Dr. Zachary Smith become lead throat for VH?? I thought he was "Lost In Space" with The Robinson family on the Jupiter 2...

Jesus, Dave sounds like he's constipated singing most of these songs...

Saw the boy's in 70,80,2000 always put on great show!💯👍👏♥️🙏

This is awesome

Sounds pretty damn good for a bunch of old farts!

Lee Roth is one hell of a frontman!

Great job, Thanks for posting. I wish i'd caught them on that tour, probably the last chance. Loved this video.

Everybody needs to get a grip.van halen are living legends.The band has achieved more sucess then all of us put together have some respect.there living legends there not in there in 20s anymore they sound great. I want to see them when they come to my town.I think Eddy is playing better then ever.

wolfgang is what holds the band,his bass and vocals,,or else u can clearly hear dave suck.

Who is that old woman wearing the scarf?

AWESOME!

To: Papa. THANKS FOR THIS UPLOAD IN REAL HD. Thank you.

is that Neil Diamond singing..?

VH still rockin 35 years later....Haters get effed.....

LOVE IT !! Wish i was there!

The audio quality of a lot of the 2012 and 2015 shows is pretty decent. Thank God for that! We and the band were cursed with so much bad luck with live recordings. This is a band that needs to be experienced live and we have nothing to take us back to those first six tours besides three videos from Oakland in ‘81. I had always assumed they recorded all three shows in Oakland but Michael Anthony says he doubts it. He said they were not trying to record the shows for posterity, they were just trying to put a few videos in rotation on MTV. What a huge opportunity lost. And they were not doing their own shows so there are few soundboard recordings like you can find for Led Zep or the Stones. The Stones even released their best bootlegs! It’s too bad Dave did not have the foresight to capture some of these performances while he was in his prime. A lot (most?) of the full shows we can follow on KZfaq from his last 2 tours show what an a$$hole he was to the crew. According to their road manager Noel Monk’s book, Dave was always a jerk. In the beginning it was good for the band as they were in sync and he would not compromise when it came to quality. But it grew old with everybody. I was always Team Dave but it actually had NOTHING to do with Roth, I was really Team Early VH. Or Team Dave Era, I guess. So I definitely appreciated the setlists from the 2000s. But honestly the setlist from ‘98 was fine. It was such a turn-off that VH abandoned so much of their early songs when Sammy joined. If Sammy had sang the hits, I would have been over the moon. So flash to present day. Is anybody shocked that it is Dave that is the holdup to the EVH tribute show(s)? Dave did the honorable thing and hung-up his Vaudeville act when his voice stopped meeting his expectations. But Dave’s schtick was old and tired by the 1984 tour. He had stopped trying to sing full lyrics. He thought it was colorful that he didn’t have to know all the words. Their setlists never changed so that was just lazy… and irritating. So who really wants to see Dave if the band does get back together? He is going to butcher the songs he attempts. They would be SOOOO much better off to bring in Ralph Saenz (aka Michael Starr). Seeing Ralph in the Atomic Punks was WAY better than seeing VH in the 90s. And then nobody would have to suffer Dave’s shenanigans ever again. Sadly, they won’t do it so I hope the event still comes off even though they will have to go thru Dave to get it done. Sigh…

I have nothing but great respect for Van Halen, having grown up in the late 70's and 80's, but this shit is hard to listen to. I always dreamed of them getting back together with David, but this is a train wreck. If I had paid money to see this, I would have been pissed. The music is pretty much spot on, but David needs to hang up his mic, at least in the rock biz.....

Wow - David Lee Roth - take away the long hair and the 80's band garb and he looks like a Vegas Gay club singer.

I don't care if not as good as 70s 80s glad to still have them here.There out makin money havin fun.

Ed and Wolfgang really knock the harmony vocals out of the park!
