Official 1/5 NYC Cafe Wha? Review Thread

[lesfunk]

WARF was looking at EVH like he was a sizzling Rib Eye

[WARF]

They should hire me to do background vocals like I did at cafe wha? the whole tour!

hahaha

[nitroDave23]

Nitro, Jim Florentine said he had audio of the whole show. Anymore news about that?

Jim said that,but when I downloaded the Podcast, it only had the first 3 songs.He later said on twitter that he couldn't have posted the whole thing for "legal reasons".

That's fine and dandy, but he didn't have to tell everyone it was the full show first.....good way to get viewers I suppose,but it's sorta like showing a Homeless person a ham sandwhich then eating it, lol

The program I used for the Audio was Audacity with some EQ plug ins I downloading.The video was done on windows movie maker,(I have Sony Vegas....but,well I SUCK at using it.)

I would have cut out the Asian guy but due to the larger HD files,windows movie maker crashed multiple times making it really hard to just sync up the footage,let a lone editing him out.Had I had another angle though,I would have tried to remove him.

[nitroDave23]

I apologize for being self-referential here, but at about 4:41, that's the first time he sang to me.

Apology accepted,I'm sure everyone would be just as self-referential if the opportunity arose

[lesfunk]

GEM, If it was me I'd have sung the whole set to you!

[GreenEyedMurder]

GEM, If it was me I'd have sung the whole set to you!

That would've been really cool, but I think all the other people there might have gotten pissed off.

Next week I'll do a part 2 Van Halen Podcast with more audio from the show. Stay tuned! VH show that night was incredible! -Florentine's Twitter message 2 hours ago.

Awesome, we'll get to hear She's The Woman in that quality then.

I'll edit together clips for it too.

Thanks for all the links everyone. I appreciate all the love and support that has been sent to me.
I have been a BLEEDING Roth era Van Halen fan my whole life... I spent hours listening to fair warning before I was even ten years old.
Van Halen is my life.

They should be up soon. Waiting for the "tattoo" talk to slow down first.

To slow down? From what I have been reading, that should only take about 3 weeks.....
By the way, if I pay for postage, and send you one of you classic pics with Dave, will you sign it? Who knows what my future kids could get for it off of E-Bay.....Being 5'th member and all.....

[WARF]

smart ass! hahaha

Yes, I am the fifth member.

But I am not member #5

That's hitch!

Speaking of... where the hell is hitch???

That's a hardcore childhood !!!

I was spinning Styx records when I was 10 ---- took me a few years to get "enlightened"

Bullshit, you are the real deal, and I was only half kidding, if I had a pic with you and Dave from that show, signed by both, I would not sell it on E-Bay......Maybe frame it....You are the star!

[Hardrock69]

Yeah dudes...WARF IS THE MOTHERFUCKING MAN!

[WARF]

Awesome guys.... I don't think I really deserved it as much as some people here!

[Guitar Shark]

This has been around for a few days but I haven't seen it posted before... it proves how much sound can be affected by where people were standing. This sounds like it's right in front of Wolfgang's cabs!

Absolutely no question the kid can play.

No doubt, the kid can play. I guess the only question I have is this: How much better would this song have sounded if Mikey was there? I thought I had given up my hopes to hear Mikey in the background, and I have for the most part...But I just wish he was wailin' away on this one...just for old time's sake. I know, he's not coming back. And I know, Wolfie is in the band, and I accept that. But part of me still wants to hear those backing vocals. If not from Mike, well, then from someone else who can pull it off.

[ZahZoo]

Awesome guys.... I don't think I really deserved it as much as some people here!

Think of it as retribution for all those frenzied, drunken late night posting extravaganzas extolling your virtues as a Karaoke Rock Star!!

Seriously... you're a part of the fabric here. No one deserved it more and you represented the Spirit of the Roth Army exceptionally!! Well done.

Just had to share a funny story cause i keep seeing comments about the Asian guy at the show. I was watching a lot of his videos from the show on youtube cause the quality was good, even though it was annoying to have to keep seeing his face instead of the band. Anyway - I start to get the feeling that i might know this kid. I go to his youtube channel and see his full name and other videos and realize I went to high school with him. He and I used to fight about VH all the time - unfortunately I went to high school during the Spammy years and he was a Spammy-lover. We used to fight back and forth all the time about Dave vs. Sammy. He even drew a huge VH sign in my yearbook and wrote something like "Sammy rocks!" next to it - gotta find it and take a pic and post it. I was so angry seeing him rocking out to Dave so close up - not fair!! No idea what his connection is..

[Sensible Shoes]

Good story and GREAT NAME you chose. Welcome

Ha! Thanks for confirming that he's long been a toolbag. I was in front of him and over one, and he was so thoroughly annoying, screaming every time he turned the camera on himself.

[Momshell]

I posted the yearbook pic of what he wrote in my 'welcome' thread - didn't want to clog up this thread with it! it was actually worse than i remember!

[Hardrock69]

Just wanted to let you guys know, in case this has not been posted yet...there is a video of "She's The Woman" on YouTube right now with "enhanced sound".

Someone musta got an audio recording (Jim Florentine's perhaps?) and synched it to one of the videos of the song. GREAT mix....can hear Dave loud and clear. Was telling a friend of mine about the performance, he does not have home internet, so he got on his cell phone......I heard the audio through his shitty cell phone speaker, but it was MUCH better than the previous Wolfy-heavy distorted bass audio we have heard so far.

I am crashing, so am not gonna bother to post the link. On dialup it might take me 10 minutes to find it and post it, and I am not interested in staying awake that much longer.

Roth on!

[Carmine]

This one? It's the best one that I've seen....
