1983 US Festival

[DR CHIP]

Just got a DVD of the 83 US Festival...

I had a VCR tape years ago and somehow lost it...hated that!

Guys and gals, it may not be the best show ever and the sound may be a little rough in places. but MY GOD VH just isn't the same without Dave...

There is an electricity that Dave brings that they have never had since...

I know the Hagar fans love VH with Sam, but there is honestly NO comparison...

VH with Sam is a LAME attempt at the original...

350,000 plus in 1983...350 plus in 2004 (and I am not referring to Sammy's weight)...

That person was me. I still stand by that. It was a good performance, but the sound and quality was the shits. Watch a few other concerts from Van Halen before you claim this to be the best show. It is not. I would say, 3 stars out of 5. They were all wasted before the show began and it showed during the show.They've done better.

Dave was pretty coked out and out of tune in quite a few places.

It was still amazing.

Watch it and find your self smiling the whole time.

US Festival in its 20 year old form is STILL better than Anything Van Hagar will do....

The only people who eat Hot Dogs during the show are Van Hagar...baby!!!!

[Big Troubles]

LOL Well, I'll agree with that! I do enjoy the Us Fest. but Ive seen better. Watch their Brazil performance from 83. Oakland vids from 81 were better.

[DR CHIP]

Oh yeah...Argentina is a great vid...

I just love the drunk off their ass perfomance of the US Festival mess up's and all...it is so Dave and so what Van Hagar people will NEVER understand...

There are more people here tonight than will be at the Van Hagar show tomorrow night....baby...I say.....

[pete]

Doesn't know any of the words to FULL BUG. LOL

nails the harp

[Big Troubles]

Yeah, does a great job fucking up those words but in contrast does a great job on the harmonica! lol

[pete]

"running with the devil" timing is bad on the chorus.

yeah, I'm watching it.

[Big Troubles]

I have the "beep" version. "I'll tell you what "beep, the concert, we'll go across the freeway and get a drink, what do ya say?" Does he say Fuck the concert? Or after the concert?
