Never seen it till now...very cool...just passing it along!

[academic punk]

These days, there are times you wonder why Eddie was ever such a big deal.

then you see something like that, and are reminded all over again why he was and always will be.

EXCELLECT CLIP!!! THANKS!!!

[rustoffa]

Outstanding!

Did you hear the way he made that horse whinneying sound?

That's some atmospheric destruction right there. Dare I say, one of the most identifiable tones in rock guitar history!

[LookN4AMootBeat]

Yes, very cool clip....thanks.

If they do a reunion I hope he ditches the processed tone and goes back to the raw dog style :)

Does anymore of it exist anywhere?

[Full Bug]

If it does it hasnt surfaced yet, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that clip is all there is....Thats a shame....

[light 'em up!]

Yes, very very cool.

[fryingdutchman]

Excellent find!

Thanks for posting it.

[Wruff_ajax]

Always cool to see that one.

Pisses me off that the fickel VH bros haven't given us more great VH footage. I'm sure there's tons of nice stuff they've got stashed away, hording it.

[Seshmeister]

I think from memory it was recorded on an old 8mm cine camera. There is a little more but not much as I remember.

The quality isn't too good and I'm not sure I could sit through an hour of that in any case.

The bootleg people like Cato will be able to tell you more.

Cheers!

:gulp:

[Hardrock69]

Haha sounds like you are talking about some tribe...."Yeah The Bootleg People"...

:D

[Seshmeister]

That's exactly what they are...:)

Who needs the 4th best FLAC bootleg of the DD tour?

It's like stamp collecting to these people but god bless them because every so often the people who live on Planet Earth benefit from their work...:D

Cheers!

:gulp:

[Hardrock69]

From an early age they are given toy microphones....

ROTF

:D :D :D :D

And at age 12 they are initiated into manhood by being given a tape recorder and a trenchcoat.

[Cato]

Hiya, I'm Cato, everybody's friend.

the story I heard about this footage is it was filmed by a roadie, for private use.

my copy is 20~25 minutes long and it's also knockz(=shitty).

[generalroth]

Eddie "brown sound" Van Halen at his best.......With Dave! remember sheep with Dave!!! not Sammy,,with Dave!

[Big Fat Sammy]

Did anyone notice the ol' hollowed out torpedo with the echoplex built in?

Its dark...but you can tell thats what he's messin with with all the echo before switching guitars.

Damn cool.

[Hardrock69]

Yeah, he had it sitting there when I saw them in September of '78. I did not get it in any of my photos though...

[moose]

My thoughts exactly, I've seen this clip many times and always ask myself "where is the rest of the show" Can someone find this show???

Shit should've kept reading all the posts. Hey Cato, who cares about the quality, just post the thing so we can see the rest of it.
Cheers

[jacksmar]

Ive not watched this clip. This was the first time. And it felt like the first time all over again. The tone, the energy, the style.

Thats what made me want to play the guitar, better. Its better than sex. Its better than an alcohol buzz. Its better than your first kid or best friend.

That, army friends, is what life is about for me.
:killer: :killer: :killer: :killer:

[BRANDON]

great clip made my day.how i dream to see that one more time live.

thanks amazing clip

[Big Fat Sammy]

Bump this one more time for the folk who may have missed it.

[Hardrock69]

CATO WHERE IS THE REST OF IT????????

[TongueNGroove]

Umm sorry guys, I love eddie as much as anyone, but as shitty as his solo was on the last tour, it was better than that.

You're kidding, right?

[Chris]

Oh that kicks ass.

Now that was the real deal!

Uhh no, I r not kidding. You want to see a real kickass Eddie solo? Rent Live Without a Net. None of that half assed eruption and "trying" to get feedback by making as much rubbish noise as possible to no avail.

Of course he has other good solos, but I think all those years of hard playing and creative writting culminated into one brilliant cacophony in the Live Without a Net video.

What is Live Without A Net?

[rustoffa]

Aww shit.

Sarge's little helper needs an update.

[Bubba]

Mang!

I got goose bumps watching this....Got the bumps after the solo when they go into YRGM.

Good ole days <sigh>

Bubs

[hollywood5150]

well then............damn good..........energy level.........great

intro......weird.........once he got it on .....it was ON!

good shit...........more of it??

[Cato]

I heard Big Trouble and Elvis got this show on DVD from someone kind

[jero]

WOW Man, pfffff this sure makes my day!

[VHdamaco]

fuck...

i can't get it to load...

also, you punk bitch toungeNass. that solo on live without a net sucks, it's simply a rehashing of the US festival solo with a shittier and tamer sound...

the Us festival is so far, The greatest fucking solo i've ever heard by the king (it may just be me, but once the mean street intro part starts up, those slides he hits give me goosbumps every fucking time) the fucking sound and balls to the wall i'm gonna play whatever i want attitude...

as soon as spam came into the band, he fucking went into the comfort zone and wasn' t pushed into creating a new solos/licks/riffs, just rehashings of old glories...
