Wow. Never seen it before. But, its been on Youtube for two years. Dudes got Fresno '99 footage, too. Make sure to check out his whole youtube channel.

HOLY SHIT!


*if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours, just put in the Balance cd.

Many of us seemed surprised to see this. Is it possible that this has been on youtube FOR TWO YEARS but still never made its way to the Army?? I would think that's unlikely, but I don't know.

Killer - never seen that one before! That needs to be cleaned up and put on a box set!

New to me! Holy shit, that ATBL intro at 6:14 blew my pants off (at work, no less). Ed waved his hand towards Dave as If to say, "this mother fucker has pipes!!"

I know the guy who filmed this show(Fresno '78).
he also filmed VH in '79 and taped Dave's solo show in '86/'88, in the same place.
those are all great. especially the complete version of Fresno '86(2CD. no cut off on Goin' Crazy). I was amazed when I heard it!

New to me. Not that thats sayin much. Great find anyway.

Dave is always bigger than life on stage, but boy, looking at that, dude seems like three inches shorter now. We're all gonna shrink with age. But imagine in DLRs case how much the wear and tear has contributed to that? Just sayin.

It's a medical fact that we all shrink with age --- as much as 2 or 3 inches by the time we get close to 60 (like Dave) --- has to do with intervertebral discs drying out:

Amazing footage. Interesting to compare Roth's stage presence to even a year later in the clips from 79. As good as it was in the fresno clip, the "coolness and the swagger" had grown leeps and bounds just a year later. I just hope the guy that filmed this has more of the show.

Love this video! Great stuff.

Anybody notice Dave doing all the back bends? He used to do these a lot.

I took these at the Salina Bicentenial Center in Salina, KS on August 24, 1980, and the Century II Convention Center in Wichita, KS July 19, 1979..

Thanks for posting that video. Always love seeing the old Fresno clips, as well as any other old clips.
