I was in the 8th grade in 84 and I badly wanted to go see this concert. I told my parents I wanted to skip school and go stand in line for tickets. My mother who at the time was in her mid 50s told me that she would go stand in line for me instead of me skipping school. It was the coolest thing she ever did and I will never forget it. Love you and miss you very much Mom!!!

In my opinion 1984 was the last year of the ‘real’ Eddie. During the DLR era, Eddie was more animal than man, the most ferocious player to ever pick up a guitar. In the Hagar era he became much more melodic and technical (the Live without a net solo being a great example), and in my opinion that kind of killed his style. From 1978 to 1984 this was the single greatest guitarist of all time
@username-zj9id Жыл бұрын
It's because in sammy, he had a singer who could really sing. Dave is an amazing front man and showman, but not a great singer. So Eddie let the guitar stand out. In the sammy era he wrote more ballads and played more keyboards and didn't need to do as much on guitar. Aside from the fact that everyone was copying him by then anyway and it wasn't new or different anymore
@bobbymauro3721 Жыл бұрын
Eddie was evolving and Roth just couldn’t keep up with where the writing was progressing towards. If anything Eddie went supernova with Sammy!

Anyway I found this and showed it to him and he went speechless and I could tell that he was just completely transported back into his youth and it was so cool to see the look in his eyes when DLR did his split jump of the the speakers. I would kill to be able to go to the 80s and witness VH and Crüe concerts. I truly envy late 60s and 70s babies y’all grew up in the best timeframe to be teenagers. Thanks for posting this.

@@blak1lyte ok well u guys like to say that rock is still alive. but it is not. this is because almost all rock fans only like to listen to the old bands like van halen for example, and are not willing to try out new rock bands, so when all the old rock stars are dead, what the fucks gonna happen?

@@edwardmonsariste4050 Well, rock and roll, much like America as most of us here watching this knew it, was a moment-in-time. It was a great moment, not only for those of us in the Western World who were under thirty at any time between 1955 and 2000, but globally in a cultural sense as well. However changing demographics, the shifting center of culture and music-making thanks to technology and the changing of the entire music industry plus overly trenchant, if justified, nostalgia that ignores new bands and therefore doesn't incentivize people forming new bands or creativity within the genre, will lead to the end of rock and roll. Sad. However, there will be new musical stylings from within the West (and the non-West) that will be just as wonderful to future generations as Van Halen was to Boomers, Xer's, and even many early Millennials, we just won't be the ones to have it connect with us nor enjoy it but it's okay.....we have this music to enjoy for the rest of our lives.....although I think everyone should still support their local bands too.....this music might never again be as dominant as it was at one time but we can still give the idiom life if we support our local working musicians of any age or sub-style.

One of the reasons I love old Van Halen and David Lee Roth so much was that they were about the ONLY big band of the time, that would hit the secondary markets every time they went on tour. Growing up in central Mississippi we didn't get a lot of shows. Starting with the Women and Children First tour Van Halen hit Jackson, MS every time they went out. After Dave left, VH never came back but Dave did on the Eat Em and Smile Tour and the Skyscraper tour.

My buddies and I were working for ticket scalpers back in '84. We were like 16 -17 years old. The scalpers would give us cash and we would go down super early to the box office of Madison Square Garden the morning tickets went on sale and wait on line. The line for the Van Halen tickets for the 1984 tour was insane.We almost got crushed in the mad rush. There was even a guy there with crutches and a cast on his leg all the way up to his balls waiting to score tickets! Thats how hot tickets were for those 2 shows! In the end we had a choice from the scalpers. Get paid in cash or keep a ticket to the show. Didnt even think twice. We kept the tickets. Great seats. Right above the orchestra seats. Still the best damn show ive ever seen. Even all these years later. No one can touch Diamond Dave at his height.

Back in December of '84...I was in Florida with my family on Christmas vacation, and my dad and I went to a flea market one day. While at that flea market, i saw a stand where a guy was selling bootlegs....one of his bootlegs was the 1984 tour live at Madison Square Gardens. I asked my dad for the 10 bucks to buy it...he handed me the money, and in 2 secs flat, I was the proud owner of a double live VH record. The only thing that REALLY sucked, was the fact that I couldn't play it until I got home from vacation, but once I was back in Canada, I wore that record out!
