Watch and listen to this video of Just Like Paradise from 2004.

[Polk High]

This must be just like livin in Paradise!

[Little Texan]

His vocals sounded alot better in that video than anything I heard from the '99 tour. I believe I even heard the ole scream in there somewhere.

Let's see...

Dave was like 27 in the Largo video and he's like 50 in "this"...

Some people have a hard time believing that even super heroes loose their powers sometimes!

He was lucky because he got into heaven early?
God should be thanked because he gave him at least 15 years?
God is scary so pray more and maybe it won't happen to your kids?

Cheers!

No...

All of his close friends are witnesses that he gave his life to Jesus Christ, and that is what a lot of the service was based around...

And...

He was a young man full of love for everyone...



I believe he's in Heaven...

Damn those kryptonite microphones !

Dave certainly seems to be having a good time, but some of those moves during the guitar solo near the end just aren't up to his normal standard.

Vocal gets a little weaker towards the end too...

Re: Watch and listen to this video of Just Like Paradise from 2004.

i like the song and i like the performance - i wish he would play more songs from his solo career in his concerts, there is some stuff that i really would like to hear...anybody agrees?

[Cato]

this may be something that is not worth bothering about....

it's from not 2004 but 2003.

[DavidLeeNatra]

check out the japanese boot (with the all coked up interview)...party dude or something...that version is GRATE!!!

[gunnyhighway]

yeah, thats rite! the party dude clips from tokyo 2004 show Diamond Dave at the top of his game! that's how i would like to see dave + VH on tour - the real heavyweight champions!!! check out the video download section on this site - it's worth it!

The problem is Dave cant sing as high as he used to. He can't do the scream/sqeal anymore either. Alot of singers have this problem when they get older. Ozzy Osbourne for example has the same problem. Don't get me wrong, I think Dave still sounds good, just not as good as he used to. In my opinion he hasn't sounded GREAT since A Little Aint Enough back in 1991. That's the last album where the trademark scream was 100%. He's still the greatest front man ever though.

[Terry]

Last two times I saw him, Roth talked his way through that particular tune (JLP), rather than sing it. Didn't bother me, as I never cared for that track anyway, but it was odd nonetheless.

He sounds okay in the clip. Not GREAT, but okay.

Have to go with Elvis on Young; his guitar work on that tune was atrocious.

My ears are fine, but you're the one that's deaf if you can't hear the screams in that vid, nurse! Check out the "Hot For Teacher" vid from the same show for further proof.

Remember back when Dave was in Van Halen how he just "bounced" all over the stage? Somewhere along the way he's just started walking the stage. Watch the Largo video then watch this. You'll see what I mean.

the difference is that daves on a
120 foot stage in largo and a 40 footer in this vid.
