Official 6/26 New Orleans Meetup/Review Thread

[clarathecarrot]

Wow thanks so much! I mentioned earlier in the thread I just purchased the camera last weekend. I'm still fairly new at using this particular model but so far I'm digging it. One thing that it did, purely by accident was during the show all throughout, if it was a good focused show on the faces of the people on stage it took a snapshot. So all of my videos had snapshots taken from them as well and there's some amazing shots. All by accident. I'm okay with that because it was a VH show but if I was just out filming random shit, I wouldn't want it hogging memory space with snapshots. It's obviously a setting I didn't realize the camera had.


You can get more memory cards at computer stores for cheap these days... I carry three in the case with my camera,,about 5 G if needed.

That way you can vid and still shoot with large image size and and then switch cards when full...then it will seem like work and you will wonder why you aren't getting paid...lol.

My pictures were a bit of a mixed bag. Unfortunately I need to experiment with this new camera some more. The closeups I got were too grainy for my tastes.

I would like to add this about last night's show. This complete fucking dildo was sitting on our row about 8 seats down from me. When the lights were gradually dimming, he was standing up and yelling "Boooooooooooo" at the top of his lungs for a good 2 minutes. Then during "Ice Cream Man" while Dave was telling his story about the dogs, the dildo kept barking and barking and barking LOUDLY. I shut the video down at that point. I don't understand the fucked up mentality of people. I'm not even going to post that video on YouTube as I don't want the guy to be able to claim credit that he was the one barking. Fuck him. I did start filming again right at the solo with all the strobe lights. I may or may not post that. As it stands, I'm posting all my videos in order.

This is when you take a picture of that dick head and post it in the 2012 Tour Douche Bag thread. Come on dude! Pay attention!:bigwink:

The camera itself has 16 gigs of space and I brought a 16 gig card as well. Thing is, for ordinary things I'm filming I don't really need it taking snapshots as the camera wishes. I'd like to have control over that. As for it doing it at the show last night I dig it as it was a pleasant surprise.

[Hardrock69]

NIce review, E. Too bad the venue acoustics suck ass. But then they do in most arenas.

For the DVD I am putting together, I was originally going to use the audio from a boot recorded (I think) from the 13th row on the floor, but the reverb of the venue was so prevalanet, I realized that the 2 guys up front who shot the entire show in HD had much better sound, so I am doing a 2 source merge and using that. The sound is much drier, much less room sound.
Only thing is Al's snare drum is not as loud as I would like, but the rest of it is pretty cool.

Ok folks, that's it until next year apparently (here in the US I mean).

My take anywhere camera has a setting to determine the amount of resolution for capture size and I usually have that set at maximum, so I burn thru cards after a certain amount op pics and such, it is way back in tech as compared to yours and even phones these days, but it is small and zooms 5x and that is cool.

That setting sounds wierd ( auto take ramdom pic setting) ..like, open the pod bay doors HAL, wierd..lol.

Nice stuff.

Can't win on every shot even with auto focus, ask the dudes that make big bucks photographing, but the final bow shot of the guys is perfect ,even if somewhat fuzzy classic shot and printed in a smaller size would probably make a great framed display pic.

I know we have a feature thread here for pics and such The RA members have recorded some killer stuff .

I filmed most of the show. Was amazing. Posting the videos here as I can. I've done 3 so far.... they are HD and very large files so the uploading is taking forever. Doing "Romeo Delight" as we speak and it says it's going to be 152 minutes before it's complete. This is a fucking project! :D My vids will be my review. As for mentionging being the last date, Dave said in "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" during the break down that "take it down a little bit. This is gonna be our last show for a little while so when we kick back in I want it to be fucking LOUD." or something like that. My video of that will be posted in the next year I guess.

If I were ever to be front row again I'd get one of those wrapable tripods and attach to rail n roll show one angle whole show to be able to watch All of it. My iPhone vids were medium but pics kick ass and really only shot solo, ATBL n Jump but I am going to do a wall print of Ed off a 60" possibly as a backlit framed piece.
Dave and loud thing...it wasn't very loud in front in L.A. Ears didn't ring at all, that surprised me and how you could actually communicate without screaming. But am hoping it's louder next round.

Hapened to me when seeing Roth at the House Of Blues inside the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. January 2000. I was standing about 2-3 row area on the floor holding a beer in each hand. It was during Little Guitars and he did one line looking right at me. Fucking awesome! I think he could see the sheer joy of hearing him sing that song in my face so he delivered a little extra special for me.


I got 2 pics from the show then.

Oh yeah...2003, Charlotte North Carolina. Free show (Speed Street). DLR was the last one to play that week and it was pouring rain almost the entire show. Took a girl for a first date and I pushed our way up to about the third row and Dave was checkin' out our section a few times. I just knew it was gonna be a good night. We got soaked but the chick was so hopped up during and after the show that it didn't matter one fuckin' bit. Thanks Dave!! Banged that girl like a freebie from a Vegas call girl...or maybe it was the other way around...

Get the fuck out of here! I did too. After the show was over I was walking away from the stage and apparently she was at the soundboard because she was walking toward the stage with a couple of body guards and I almost walked right into her.

I also saw her and Ed at Tippitina's at Christmas 1992. The Neville Brothers were playing and Val and Ed were upstairs, security would not anyone up there. Eventually Ed came on stage and played two songs with the Neville Brothers.

We were 5th row. He couldn't see us. Only looks like he can. It's a good shot and gives that impression though.

[Nitro Express]

That's a really good picture of Dave and Ed. Dave looks fit and to look like that at his age is a hell of a lot of work. Ed looks happy and healthy. I can't believe he went from looking like some old hag to what we see in the photo above in just a few short years.

[Nitro Express]

Dude, my life was deflated for a bit when I heard Dave left...

In fact I stayed somewhat deflated until 2007...

It was a bit shocking. I was a day hire during the 1984 tour. I spent early morning to early morning the next day setting up, working the barricade, and tearing down. I never heard any gossip of band problems or saw anything to indicate as such. I never saw Dave until he hit the stage. We got our instructions on crowd control and how to work the barricade from no other than Big Ed Anderson himself but at the time I just thought he was a security guy and had no idea he was Dave's bodyguard. Ed told us if things start to get out of control and the big concern was people getting crushed by the crowd, then we were supposed to bring it to the attention of Dave by using some hand signals and Dave would hopefully get the situation under control since he was Dave and had the microphone. So I learned Dave was more than the drunken wild man up there, the whole VH machine had some structure to it and it was organized. Dave wasn't at soundcheck but I guess he doesn't do soundchecks even to this day.

I just figured Dave had some solo success and it went to his head or the Van Halens got jelous and gave him the boot. I think the main problem was booze and cocaine.

I was lucky enough to see Dave in 2 small venues. Once at Westbury Music Fair which is a small, in the round theater on Long Island....and the other was on the short lived DLR Band tour at a club in the Hamptons called CPI......it was phenomenal to see Dave at a small place.....and he still performed as if he were playing Madison Square garden.

I don't think the bass sounds too bad. I admit at times it does overpower Ed but I just figured it to be a volume issue more than anything.

[ELVIS]

It sounds like he's playing bass through a guitar amp with the gain turned way up, and in fact he probably is...

His setup in New Orleans was two 5150 IIIs and one Fender 300 watt bass head...

If that's what he was playing through...

I bought a "Guitar World Presents Van Halen: Eddie Van Halen In His Own Words" book a few months ago. In one of the interviews he mentions never liking Michael Anthony's tone. In fact he said he never had MA in his monitors when playing live. I wonder if Wolfgang's tone is really HIS or what Dad wants?

I was at that show and it was the strangest venue I'd ever seen DLR play. Whomever was doing DLR's managing at the time (Matt Sencio?) booked him in the oddest place and I hope he never plays that venue again. Peeps were weird, old and had no idea who DLR was. They wanted us to sit and we shouted to them "we don't sit at a David Lee Roth concert....EVER" Reno is for sr. citizens and not ROCKERS.

If only I'd had it. I couldn't believe the mother fucker. I said a few pages back that he was also yelling "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at the top of his lungs as the lights were partially dimming before the show started. It looked like he was there alone.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

He had to have some sort of a comp ticket. No way he's that close, pay that kind of money just to boo the band....

I would've filmed him "booing" but being my first use of the camera I didn't want to use the battery space. If I'd been closer I'd have had no problem telling him to shut the fuck up.

Almost Saved thanks so much for posting all of these! You did alot of work-I hope you were able to enjoy the show with all the work you did. I had 6th row center Dave and loved it. How sweet it was to log on tonight after doing some boring work and see these now. Thanks again..!

Loved the show. I tried to record the first show I attended on the "Fair Warning" tour...... I was 11 years old and it didn't work out. This is my redemption. ;)

Wait till your scheduled show comes around again with your front row:)

All great things come to a end! Next year two more shows in Chicago? Thanks to all the people that put up vidoes of all the show from around the tour, it was great to see songs that they did not play at all the stops.Saw them twice and each show was great. Hope to see them soon. :yo: Thanks and ROTH ON!!!!

Dave on the ending of that was FUCKING AWESOME !!!

I'm so glad you caught that on camera...


:elvis:

[FALCO]

Holy Mother Of God...

I have been quite critical of Dave this tour vocally... not happy with his weird nasally thing, singing songs out of register, off key, taking extreme liberties with the classic melodies, etc...

That being said, to me, this performance should be played for him OVER AND OVER...
What a FUCKING MONSTROUS KILLER VERSION the Diamond One pulled off here... the whole band just kicked the holy fuck out of this tune... OLD SCHOOL CVH swagger and attitude...

And the SCREAM Dave hit at 1:29... the fucking SCREAM!!! (Also one at the end coming out of the breakdown)...

I have felt there was a physical vocal issue with Dave since first seeing the Cafe Wha? gig... he changed to dramatically from the stellar '07/'08 vocal performances... as a singer I felt horrible for him because it's not like if your guitar goes out of tune you can grab another from a tech...

But this video gives me hope that maybe whatever was ailing him is getting taken care of... he had a strong mid range and just a kick ass attitude... LISTEN to the way he sings the last chorus... growl in the vocals and holding that strong note...

Enjoyed that video very much!!!

Another awesome video Almostsaved! You can see Dave sucking on lemons and gargling with something while Eddie's playing the intro. Saw it in another one of these videos too. I think Dave sounded great on this song. When they played this at one of my shows (MSG maybe) Dave barely got any of the words. He's clearly been working at it.

[Momshell]

[perrin29]

Thank you for the kick ass vids. Hope to see Jump with the final bow. I'm gonna miss these guys until they start back up again. Guaranteed I'm hitting up a couple of shows on the next leg. Crossing fingers for their first visit back to Eastern Canada since Fair Warning.

[Angel]

Was it just me or were there times when you looked up at the screen and Dave was looking down into the camera that he was talking directly to you, looking right into your eyes (or even soul maybe?) That's part of the magic of Dave, the way he connects with you IF you let him.

OMG, 1980. Days of general admission, and I was front and centre. Dave saw me light a joint and put his hand out. I passed it to him, it got passed around to Ed and Mike, back to Dave, then back to me.

I had so much interaction between Ed and Dave that night I remember wondering where the hell did all these people come from when it ended. I could have sworn I was the only person in the audience that night.

They had cameras there that night too...THAT's the one I really want to see released from the vault!!!

Dave did the "joint" thing at every show on the 80 Invasion tour. I took these two pictures at the Salina Bicentennial Center in Salina, Kansas on August 24, 1980.

I have no way of knowing whether or not it is true, but I have been told by a former employee, that those cameras rarely had film in them. It was all for crowd reaction, and affect.

Light em up, sorry for the scrapping. It's an unfortunate part of the VH legacy. From 99 to 07, that's pretty much all we did was "fight". We're like family, we know how to push each other's buttons...and we do.

Envy, you got nailed when you joined because some of your first posts were negative towards members of the band. For many years, we had to put up with people coming here just to stir things up. (i.e. Spam fans). I'm sure there were others besides me that thought you were either a shit disturber or an alias when you first started posting.

I don't disagree that this board can be a nasty place, it certainly can. But I know, for the most part, we attract our own flies by the shit we pile on. Some of those flies just tend to linger long after the shit loses its stench.

Glad you liked!All of the thanks you're getting are well-deserved. These clips are seriously top-shelf.
I appreciate all the clips that people put up, but to be completely honest, I rarely get a chance to kick back and enjoy them. They're usually so damn choppy that I either get seasick or go on the verge of an epileptic seizure.
In my opinion, these clips are the best ones on this tour since Indy (and that dude had an entire crew with him to pull that off).

These are fuckin' extraordinary!!
Nice work!

Stellar compliment. Thanks a million!

[78/84 guy]

It sounds like he's playing bass through a guitar amp with the gain turned way up, and in fact he probably is...

His setup in New Orleans was two 5150 IIIs and one Fender 300 watt bass head...

If that's what he was playing through...

He is using a 5150 III under the stage.

[78/84 guy]

Those Sony HD cams are awesome on video and audio but it reveals how bad Wolfie's live bass sound is...

Michael Anthony's live sound is light years better...

Huh ?? What ??

[ELVIS]

That thin buzzy distorted bass sound with way too much sub bass pales in comparison to MA's clean and clanky thunderous line of SVT's...

Wolf has chops, no doubt, but he needs more experience with tone...
