VH live at the US Festival 83

[Wayne L.]

I saw the bootleg video of Van Halen live at the US Festival back in 83 about eight years ago which is one of " VH's most legendary concert performances " during the DLR era in front of more than 300, 000 fans showcasing VH at their finest when they were the " kings of rock with few equals " at the time because this classic concert performance was at the height of their rock & roll prowess with the band " kickin ass with a vengence " with this ballsy, blistering, take no prisoners, concert performance which defines Van Halen in those days.

That could be the worlds longest sentence...

Dave was wasted and almost ruined the show...that's why they never commercially released the audio or video...there's my review.

LOL, and he's 100% right!

Ever hear the radio edit for YRGM and RWTD from that show?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have a pretty sweet copy of RWD, Pretty Woman and YRGM/Happy Trails...and they are awesome! I think that Dave had sobered up towards the end of the set...I have a not-so-great copy of the video and Dave is stumbling around at the beginning...

[DLR7884]

They re-did Daves vocals for the radio and for some copies of the video.

He was loaded and on the copy I have the movement of his lips and the sound doesn't match.

If you listen to the radio, it almost sounds like his voice is deeper and more clear on the part the re-did.

Pretty good versions of those songs though!

[ELVIS]

I don't think the vocals are overdubbed.. You may be mistaken...

[Cathedral]

If they were i never heard anything from the overdubs.

But that isn't to say it didn't happen. as long as the music parts are in the right place they can transfer a studio vocal track onto the US Festival track.

I just never heard a polished version of that show.

You know it is going to be a great show when in the first song Dave substitues the right vocal line with "I forgot the fuckin words", lol...

By the way, Edward was quite fucked up as well and making plenty of his own mistakes.
right off the top of my head i can say he fucked up in Romeo Delight and Unchained.

Niow i want to see it again, maybe i'll throw it in after the game...

[diamond den™]

Runnin' With The Devil and Little Guitars on the US Festival Video boots ROCK!!!!!!

[Cathedral]

Go ahead and say that again, it deserves repeating...

[Fairwrning]

"somebody get me a doctor/girl gone bad/i'm so glad"...the highlight of this show...band is tightest it gets all night...Dave skips backstage and does a line and a shot....(not necessarily in that order)..then comes back out and does 42 dropkicks across the stage near the end of "dance the night away".....
imo

[Cathedral]

42 drop kicks?
Oh yeah, he was speedin big time wasn't he?
He's lucky he didn't have a coronary back then, lol.

Damn, that would have sucked a big furry donkey dong wouldn't it?

[Calderone]

he mean say 4 drop kicks

The audio I have of the radio doesn't sound like the video.

I'll have to pull the audio tape out and watch the video at the same time.

Or I could be wrong....
