Trolls take heed...
LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!! -
I've got that show on dvd, the only 1984 show I've seen. I'm sure there may be others but the only one I've seen. Wish the camera was a bit closerThis space for rent. -
I've got this one too. I don't really understand all the praise it gets though? I wish there was another '84 show available. Saw them that year, and was lucky enough to catch them on a great night. Seeing how that was the year they were shot to the stratosphere, you'd think someone out there would have some kickass footage. Better than Montreal.Comment

So fucking cool. I really liked where they showed the crowd. People were out of their minds going wild. Van Halen owned the world at this time. Biggest traveling party ever. With MTV out & them making videos, there has to be a full length pro-shot 1984 concert in Eddies vault. Just has to be.
I was 12 on this tour when they came through San Diego. Wasn't allowed to go to concerts yet. My older bro went & brought me back a shirt & told me all about it. He had 4th row and said Dave was hammered and hilarious.
Reminds me of that pic in Daves book "New Years eve? No, just a typical Tuesday"
The guy who edited it did a really good job. it kinda bugged me the first time I watched it, but started to make it better as I viewed it more times.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Well, all things considered, it's a pretty fucking grate recording of a complete 84 show.. The audio is actually pretty respectable, and an upgraded version has recently been released. We all wish there was a better zoom, but for 1984 technology, it's the shit. This taper captured just about every big rock band rolling through Montreal from about 82-87/88ish and his cam got better every year.
There are definitely pro-shot 84 shows in the vaults, but will they ever see the light of day in our lifetimes?Originally posted by wiseguyComment

What in the fuck was the moron who shot this thinking?
You only get to see Ed play about 15 seconds of the solo.... Oooh fun! Its bass player nodding his head!Fuck Scott Weiland. Fucking asshole. I get trashed all the time and still go to work. And my job sucks ass. -ODShowtimeComment

Actually in light of the history of the band...it was nice to watch MA. Ed did a great spontaneous solo....and since I have watched Ed play a million times.....it was nice to see a bass player that was totally into it. Hope Wolfie starts to show showmanship on the the record and the next tour. Just like the albums....you can see what Ed plays in the Aural.....he is such a bad ass on this.
And it was funny to see the part where the fan staged jumped and had to be pulled off DLR....classic.Can't Control your Future. Can't Control your Friends. The women start to hike their skirts up.

Yeah, didn't mean to sound like I was putting it down necessarily, I'll take anything from 1984 gladly. Just wish there wasn't so many "distant shots" of the band. I have a hard time watching this one after Largo '82 dude, where the footage is killer and the performance fantastic. It's a shame Ed can't figure this shit out, that we want some vintage footage from each tour.Comment

Our BG - Blonddlrgirl777 - was there in Montreal, in the first row, she told about it here a couple of years ago.
I think I once saw a vid of "Jump" from the same gig, where Dave did flips on his head between two lines, doing
