I was at this show. Fathers Day 2004. Beautiful!

It is sad to think MTV was preparing to exit the music industry soon after.

The end of this footage is the REAL end of this iconic guitar player. So sad to see him in such a bad shape

I'm honoured to share a birthday with Chris. December 20th rocks 🙏♐🏹

@1:11:45 "We got a farm animal in here!" 😂

I can't say anything as I was messed up on alcohol myself back in early 2000s and I'm not a hypocrite.

You could never tell they all despised each other here

Listened to the two day event...I think it was 2 days...worked at a grocery store got ride home from family ate dinner and listened intently at 11 or something like that

I was there. Collective Soul opened for them. Great show.

Ahh the Crows. One of my favorite groups. They ROCK. Thanks for sharing.......

5:38 - "doing over 2 hours, 2.5 hours"...yeah, this is what I remember. 1 opener + headliner was the way. These shows with 4 or 5 bands all playing for 45 mins...blech

The Eddie Van Halen seen early in this video, talking about how Sam was such a great guy. Just wasn't the same Ed that treated Michael so badly. Eddie was dying for years he was so heavily addicted to drugs. How he lived as long as he did is honestly a miracle. There is video after video year after year of Eddie being paper thin and being so destroyed by drugs. If you have an interest watch Van Halen with Gary cherone on the Howard Stern show. It's obvious that Alex was complicit in Eddie's drug use. And if you look at Eddie in that studio, I don't believe that he was doing cocaine then he was using meth. He could not sit still and was tweaking like you wouldn't believe. It's so unbelievably sad, Alex knew what was going on, Eddie was using so heavily and became so insecure. There was even a massive blowout with his son on stage when Eddie could not play. The drug abuse and drug addiction was so bad and Eddie could not get clean. Making Michael Anthony an employee of the band was unfathomable and if truth be told he would have taken any deal just to stay a part of it. Eddie lost his mind his soul and his way and Alex watched it all. Just look at Eddie's mouth it's called meth mouth and is plain to see.

Even drunk evh can play better than 95% of the country! 🎸🎸🎸🎸

It is absolutely hilarious whoever made this video thinks Sammy Haggar replaced DLR. DLR, never got replaced. Van Halen was never as good as they were with Dave ever again. Even in the end when Dave came back to the band. DLR could never be replaced. 1 or 2 tried, just like he predicted.

Omg can you imagine Phil Collins singing at VH song?

I heard this tour was a train wreck however they don't sound so bad here maybe it cause it's the first day of the tour

We all remember our 1980s party hearty never miss a concert days of our no steering wheel required youth . One thing I remember was on the days that we were going to see a band at the arena that evening , there was always a little buzz in the air. There was a little buzz in the air because the Scorpions were in town , a buzz because Judas Priest was in town , or Motley Crue or Ozzy , or a number of other bands . But when Van Halen visited your town , it was a completely different vibe . It was a vibe that no other band had. Van Halen came to town with that invisible Tsunami that just hung around the day of the show and even a couple of days after. Like their image, like their reputation , like their music, like Alex Van Halen’s Drum set , it was off the charts different from their peers. ! I seen them 12 times and they never disappointed me. After seeing them my first time , I had to the rafters expectations every time and they never left me un satisfied. The 3rd time I seen them , Dave was a bit lack luster But I forgave him for 2. Reasons 1). I live in Fresno , in the middle of California. The 3rd time I seen em , the band had played Reno, NV, 3 show’s in Oakland , 2 shows at the Cow Palace San Francisco and 3 shows in Sacramento in the previous 10 days in a row before hitting Fresno. I b was up close and Dave did not look good . He was white as a sheet and he lacked the all over the stage acrobatics that he normally had . He looked like somebody who partied their fuckin ass off for 10 straight days, and then had dry heaves all day on the 11th day before taking the stage . It was a bit of a let down but that’s one of the reasons we love DLR. His ‘everybody hoist your glass again attitude ! So I couldn’t hold that against him ! Yeah Dave go ahead and party like hell but not before my hometown show ! Ha ha . I will give Dave credit for one thing. He was there , he did the whole show and finished fairly strong . That’s what I give him credit for that . He had a look that most lead men would have cancelled the show over so he soldiered on Quite the Warrior!

I saw the Toronto show in July 2004 and it was absolutely fabulous. Everything appeared fine. Four months later in Hamilton, Ontario the band was a complete mess. I was shocked at the decline. Something was seriously wrong. Thank God Eddie cleaned himself up. For fans be sure to view his Smithsonian interview. You see the real Eddie VH and the person we want to remember. RIP

Wow, pro shot soundboard! ❤❤❤

unreal how this guy was able to be this close and not get busted filming. it was 1986 camcorders were huge back then

FANTASTIC BAND

They didn't mention Dave's career as an e.m.t. in New York city.

Did they ever release a live dvd from this tour? Just curious 🤷‍♂️

VH rules period.

Loved Daves other bands, too.

I'm so glad they insulted us in 07 and 15... thank God for that.

Dave left cause he realized van Halen was tired of his bull and got intimidated when Ed built his own studio like Ed said with Sam now their together as a band

MTV was so great back then.

simple question. name a better sammy van halen song than the best 10 david van halen songs. end of story. sammy did an amazing clutch job. david was half the reason van halen is known in every country on our little planet. pale blue dot.

sammy coasted in on david and eddies fumes. he picked up the torch. he did really well. but we would not know van halen today if they had started with sammy. thats all there is to it. eddy was just that good. so was david.

Блеаааать!!!!! Какой народ пассивный на концерте! 😮😮😮😮😮 вы чо о*уели?!!! Это же Ван Хален, сука!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘

Who's that homeless man holding the guitar?

Eagle fly , turkey ?

Eagles fly, turkeys stay

How did they all let him get up there like this?

Let's rock!

I heard the 1st VH album in early 79' while I was in 7th grade, I was also turned on to Montrose first album from 73' by my older cousin the same year, she was 5 years older and had a great collection to cut my rock teeth on and when I heard Eruption for the first time I was floored and I'm a fan for life. I've seen VH 8 times in a row starting in 80'($10.50) four times with DLR and 4 with Sammy, all great fuckin shows, but I've seen Sammy on stage more times than DLR starting with my first show ever in Oct of 79'($8.50) Pat Travers and the Scorpions, and the Scorps song The Zoo was all over K-SHE and KWK, they opened for Sammy and it was, only Sammy's tunes, simulcast on the radio like a number of Sammy's solo shows and all shows were in St.Louis, Sammy's home away from home. We snuck down to the 14th row where 2 girls from school had tickets on the aisle of section C so it was practically center stage, we brought the concert incense, 4 Thai sticks, LOL, and the girls brought one of those fake leather flasks with a fifth of Southern Comfort in it. It was a great first concert to hone those rock teeth on. The 79' show, audio only, is on RUclips, along with a number of Sammy's early solo shows in St.Louis and the 83' show that has the video here on YT was broadcast live over MTV is also on YT, I missed that show but some friends that I went to JrHS and HS with are in front rows and are on the video. Hard to believe it's been so many yrs ago, but I've seen a lot of great shows. The old arena in St. Louis held some of the greatest concerts ever, and a few hockey games that I also would attend, kinda sad when they dropped it to the ground. The new arena doesn't sound the same, nor does it make your guts rumble, in a good way, like the ol' barn did.

There are very few live recordings of this song. The album version kicks so much @ss.

My favorite thing about Eddy and his skill as the guitarist that he was is that he never made it look hard it was so easy for him and his million dollar smile when he was on stage worth the price of admission

sammy saved VH integrity. could you dave doing his tired old act fronting VH from 1988-92. dave up there looking worn out and balding trying to keep up with and look like the other singers who were 10-15 years younger than him it would of been embarrassing

Hagar was the best choice for the job because he has the voice and writing ability. I can see why the producer wanted him.

Here from the Sammy Hagar Concert in Toronto July 31st! Had to watch this piece of history, love & miss Ed & Al rocking out together \m/ Sammy & Michael performing in the same building 29 years apart and sounding just as good is magic \m/

Actually some of his licks in the solo were pretty sick..ones you don’t hear as often. 1:18:05 dang..😮😮

The way Michael Anthony was treated after all the years he gave to Van Halen is wrong.

Talking go through the motion. Looks like no wants to really be on stage.

Saw this tour in Indy. Hot as hell but an incredible show!

I saw them live in 2005 San Antonio Texas crazy live concert
