- NEW EDIT of the Van Halen show from March 30 2012, Consol Energy Center Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. A few more cams were added along with some different editing choices (and i fixed some mistakes as well). There are a few more shots of AVH in this edit too!!
High quality camera work for most of the show captured from rows 1 and 2 and 17, and audio was recorded separately with a Sony PCM M10 unit with external binaural microphones. This was an excellent show that showcased how tight the band were performing during the tour, and just how much fun they were all having on stage together.
Van Halen were on fire and delivered a stunning version of Girl Gone Bad and played the rare Blood and Fire where Eddie rips off a killer solo. Hope you enjoy the show!

Special thanks to Dave King, RON & his friend at VHLINKS.COM who shot the bulk of the show, as well as TamShan (CZcams). This video would not have been possible without their participation. An extra special thank you to Dave King, who oversaw my editing work and helped guide me into making this a quality production, and Kevin Salvio who cheered me on. the entire way. Thanks Kev.!! - Hudba
Thank you for the kind words It was my first ever multi cam, and I spent a few months on it, basically redoing it about 8 times over. Nothing was pre-planned and it was all put together after the show. Van Halen fans are the best, and i met some online that shared their original footage with me. If they come around again the filming and editing will be even better!
How fantastic is it to see Wolfgang performing with his beloved dad Edward van Halen?! EVH looks so proud, it's making me teary-eyed! Thank you for posting this!
Fantastic? Do you not know what Eddie did to Mike???
I was in the 3rd row with my dad, and all I did, was watch and learn. I was diagnosed with autism when I was 2 years old. And all I do is listen and play. I didn’t cheer or scream, I just stood there and watched and learned. I’ve been playing music since I was 5 years old. And I’m now 30 years old.
You are so welcome. I made this for true Van Halen fans, like yourself, and wanted to put it out there for free with no strings attached. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for your work posting this awesome Van Halen concert from 2012 era.
I saw them this tour this era front row at LA Staples center. It was totally fab!
special thanks to my longtime buddy and fellow VH superfan Johnny Marino.
yeah from michael t wyman in West LA CA 90230
True van Halen fan Always have been love them Miss Eddie so much he's always been my fav
Famous people at this concert:- Henry rollins, Eddie vedder, Axl rose, Steve albini..
I was at this show, it was awesome!
I was there too and I live about 25 miles northeast of Cleveland. They didn't come to Cleveland that year!
I was at this show. Personally I thought they sounded awesome, like they always have with Dave. Yeah his voice has aged, but the point is that he's front and center, in fantastic shape, and conducting the 3 headed monster of Ed, Al, and Wolf. He moved all over the stage, did frequent roundhouse jump kicks, and was just entertaining as hell. Van Halen is supposed to sound rough around the edges. It's supposed to sound live, like a train is just about the go off the tracks but never does. That's what makes it perfect, because it's imperfect.
Well put, friend
lol 😂 and yet if Sam and Mikey were up there it would have been energetic And sounded just like back in the day. Dave needs to never sing again
@@dustzza123 no it wouldn’t have. Sam and Mike don’t understand the spirit of the music they play. They are not artists they’re opportunist businessmen. I love Mike and he has the decency to keep his mouth shut. But he’s not an artist. It’s the spirit of the music not the result that makes Van Halen. If you can’t grasp this then you’re not even a fan of this band
@@Whaddayamean13 lmao 🤣 Hagar era was great lmao 🤣 and Dave can’t even sing live lol 😂 or play guitar. He faded out in the 90s and Van Halen kept on rolling lol 😂 come at me when you’ve had four number one albums with Van Halen and sold millions of albums
@@dustzza123 Hagar era didn’t even sell half of the Roth albums. The Roth era sold 2 million copies a year while Hagar was in the band. They were “number one albums” because they made to sell and nobody bought them after the first week. And they reunited with Dave and made hundreds of millions during three tours along with a critically acclaimed comeback album. Facts are hard. Suck it
I never thought that I would see this again. I was at this concert and lost my footage. Thank God for CZcams! Plus, this video is a lot better than the one I had.
Thankful to have any VH in 2015....They've still got it, even at their age. Standouts amongst their peers.... Should go see it for yourself instead of trolling on YT.
Well said!! IMO these trolls, haters & computer 'superstars' really think that their opinions will deter VH fans from going to their concert. WTF?? These trolls actually think in their disturbed minds that their opinions & criticisms is really reaching out to the mass audience?? Stupidity & just DUMBNESS on a large scale here folks!!
Glad I experienced this in 1984.
Hell yeah, when the magic was still there,
1982! O yeah!
Bum ba dee da!
Saaaweeet Zig!
Kinda feel sad you didn't experience the real halen with haggar a proper singer not a fake artist that made millions by being a casual 80's look guy
*****
Ahhhh, assumptions. Saw them in '88 too.
Alex sits on his drum throne and starts playing within 2 seconds. What a Beast!
I love the way after all these years, Eddie still has the same childish smile
Ed and his guitar was like little boys with toys. Always loved to play it, even during his dark period. His enormous talent and that gorgeous smile. The world needs more EvH.
The video is quite good. All of you that made this happen I say thank you. There are some comments about Diamond Dave and bad vocals. I will have to agree with that. Oh well. When Van Halen and Van Halen 2 ..etc he was not known for being the best vocalist either I do not think. Yes Michael Anthony vocals is missing on some songs. Difficult for use old people(like me) to hear anything but Michael Anthony as background vocals on some of the songs. All in all I am glad this is on you tube though. thank you
If I want a recorded version, I'll listen to the CD. This is raw, true, AWESOME Van Halen! The best Rock'n Roll Band EVER!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
Fun show. Watching it on my 70" big screen. Appreciate the upload!
Two old jews
this is awesome!
Thank you for posting this show. I was at the show. The band was incredible. Ed was on fire. I can’t believe he has left us. RIP Ed. Wonderful editing , great job.
I was there too with my son and daughter and her boyfriend
I was there thanks for this. It’s awesome!
friggin awesome! thanks for posting
Thank you, and thank you for the comments!
The legend EVH with the greatest frontman ever. Awesome!!!
Thanks for posting ! We like Van Halen! All Van Halen.
This is so awesome! Thx for posting!
Thank you! I was there. The energy was so high that I didn't catch any of the subtleties of this performance. Great job putting this together.
One of my favorite bands back in " the day " but DLR looks & sounds absolutely ridiculous!!! He's like a cruise ship singer lmao!
He’s way better than you tho
Thanks a lot for posting this, very cool!!!
Those f*cking drums followed by that buzzsaw/siren at 0:15 will always give me chills. Thanks for the music and thanks for the memories, Ed!
I think this is pretty freakin' good. Having embarked on life-long rock fandom in the early 80's, I never thought I'd live to see the day that Roth fronted VH again. For that reason alone, that makes this awesome. As for his vocals, the only thing lacking is the super high scream stuff, and that just comes with age. Even so, that doesn't take away from the overall authenticity of a great original act. Geddy Lee, Brian Johnson, Ian Gillan, Rob Halford; all great vocalists who don't need to scream anymore (Geddy still can, as I saw him do so on 2112 live in '13). Falsetto and scream are two different things, one tears your voice up and the other doesn't. I know, because I regularly give 6 hour concerts in my living room, several days a week. Singing scream shit from the '70s hurts after a bit (Deep Purple's "Child in Time"), but falsetto, a-la Paul McCartney, can be done all night long (and is). My only advice to Diamond would be to incorporate more falsetto in place of scream parts on old songs (but who am I to advise him). Example: Jamie's Cryin'... "OOOoh... and now he's gone forever"; that doesn't hurt, but "AAAH Haaa YEaah!... Runnin' with the Devil..." hurts and can't be pulled off for hours, let alone days/weeks on tour, but for a few minutes in the studio, it's fine. And screaming is such fun! Where else but in the context of Rock can a grown man scream his lungs out and not sound completely insane? Besides, as Tom Petty says, "Rock isn't supposed to be perfect". If you want that, listen to Opera. Boring! (sorry, opera fans). I may have written too much; if you made it this far, thank you.
I love the band...they are perfect together. I do wish the sound was cleaner because these guys are really great.
Amen!! And thank you for a great quality VH live footage!!!!
Thank you man
It's good to see David Lee Roth still around after his bout with cancer, and the fact that he can still sing really well at his age and after being treated for cancer is simply amazing! :)
Ehm, Eddie had cancer not Dave...or are you being sarcastic?
Arne Timmerman
im not sure is he is or not????
I must be hearing something different because I think they sound pretty good... especially for their age... Running With The Devil sounded awesome.. its not the 80's anymore people.. the big 3 are grandfathers.. lol
WHAT R < GRANDFATHERS LOL > ???????
Dave has no known children
thank for this job guys ....amazing! congratulation
AWESOME!!!!! I LOVE THE NEW RECORD!!!!!
For ALL of you slogging Dave here - get a grip - this is what a real rock show sounds like sometimes. I think you're all to used to hearing auto-tuned, canned vocal concerts and stupid controlled environment vocal competition shows. Any singer is a human being and can sound like crap some nights. If a person is sick, getting sick or getting over a sickness, is suffering from a lack of sleep, stress, dehydrated etc. that can all lead to a bad vocal night. Just as your body is different each day - some days rested, some days tired - so can singers voice. We are not machines. There is a lot of money and over 100 people's jobs on the line with every tour so some nights the band HAS to go on even if everyone isn't 100%. Cancelling or postponing a show because of sickness can cost the tour 100,000's of dollars.
Let's see any of YOU do a nearly 2 hour show 4-5 nights a week for months - all while living out of suitcase, sleeping in a different hotel room each night, constant weather and venue environment changes, bus & plane travel, jet lag etc. etc. etc. Do you honestly think that's an easy thing to do? Seriously? It's fucking hard for guys in their 20's, let alone people in their late 50's.
In his 20's Dave was never a great live singer - he's a show, a ring leader - he's not fucking Pavarotti (even Pavarotti had his bad vocal nights). So to put that kind of expectation on him shows a complete ignorance of what it takes to be a touring musician - at ANY age.
My friend, Im a working (hard)rock musician we play three to four sets per show a couple of times a week/month - my singer will NOT, never has sounded like DLR sounds already in the beginning of various shows Ive seen - Not even after rthe third set --and dont get me wrong , a Van Halen "MUSIC" fan !.
Hasse Roeder - A couple of sets vs a non-stop 2 hour show is not a true comparison. You guys get breaks between each set. AND are you traveling between each show, living out of a suitcase, eating catered food, dealing with all the business aspects of your show like contract riders, set design and set up (because DLR does all that)?
Or are you playing shows locally and going home to your comfortable bed most times? There is HUGE difference between what a worldwide touring musician on the VH level does and what a local musician does.
I have done both (play multiple shows a week locally and multiple shows on tour) and I can tell the touring gig is 50x harder to maintain a healthy voice. Cut the guy some slack.
Reality, his voice is gone, he wasn't prepared, and if perhaps he just sang the songs w/o the slapstick vegas vaudeville antics it may be tolerable.
Again - you're not dealing in reality or history. Dave was NEVER a great live singer - even in 1976 in the clubs. He's a showman, a frontman - not Celine Dion. And Dave has ALWAYS been this way live - he uses the stage as his personal playground. If he stood there you'd all slog him for being a tired old man. Damed if he does and damned if he doesn't.
Reality - it wouldn't matter what he did - you have something to complain about.
Secondly - you are seriously disrespecting Eddie & Alex if you think they would have gone through all of this if they didn't think they could all deliver. They ALL have plenty of money where they don't need to tour for the money. You know nothing of tour prep if you think you can throw this together in a couple of months. Its a year in the making minimum.
You also know NOTHING about DLR if you think he does anything half-assed or unprepared. Nothing.
DLR sounds like a lounge singer or one of those guys in Vegas that plays in the casino doing cover songs.
Thanks for your job!
Thank You!!!!!!
Turn dave's mic down.. lol
Lot of people defending Dave here, but it is an awful vocal performance. A lot of excuses here, he's old, he sings great for 60, he's better than he was in the 80s etc etc but if some random guy came out of the audience and sang like this as a guest slot, you guys would be like 'Holy crap, get that drunk Karaoke guy off the stage!'
@@odgeUK Much better than The Who at the Super Bowl halftime show about 10 years ago. Talk about utterly worthless old bastages...
Down? They should turn it off!! The show would be better with just the backing vocals.
The Best Band The rock in World is .........Van Hallen.!!!@@!!!n
I was there...last time i got to see the greatest play
I'm glad I saw the first 2 tours... THAT was the best!!!!
All commenters on roth being bad, that's not the point, the point it's him, having fun in a live show, perfect live shows are a contradiction.
I was there and the energy from the band fed the audience....amazing show
imo roth has partially lost his voice in this concert. he usually sounds better this tour
People troll
Then don’t charge money for concert!
I love that drunk spin at 2:00 LOL! Then that amazing leg kick at 2:25 oh ya!
Mmmmm 6:40...off key much Dave...here's another 7:35 for you enjoyment. Next we have Dave get pissed at the sound crew using his mic for all to hear 9:24...real professional ... 15:55 ahhhhhh I can't watch anymore too painful LOL!
Thank you John!! .. It was a labor of love and a learning experience at the same time.
Thank you so much for posting this, it’s fantastic!
Goddamn, Eddie can play like the devil. But I don't know if it's me, but it seems like DLR is COMPLETELY out of key
he's not as bad as Axl Rose but pretty close
JMunn55 Yeah, Eddie can play like the Devil but Dave certainly was Runnin' With The Devil because he lost his vocal coordination.
~Dutch
I may go see them in the summer. Unfortunately, their closest show it me is an 8 hour drive.
JMunn55 It's worth the drive! Go see them!
~Dutch
I did! Great show but the venue wasn't great, we were really far back in the standing section behind many rows of seats, but the seat were on a hill so when people stood up we couldn't see the stage and they had no big screen at all
Michael Anthony is the HEART AND SOUL OF HALEN. HIS backup vocals carried the band for years. dave hasn't been able to sing for 30 years or so.
no Anthony NO halen
would never pay my hard earned money for this shit, especially without Anthony.
Eddie wanted to play with his son. That's the main reason why Van Halen still exists. Wolfgang's backing vocals are also good...not as good as Michael Anthony's but still. Deal with it! He's never coming back.
Arne Timmerman
Never say Never!
The son will surely let Michael is own seat, if he has any brain!
andy T Erm...no, he won't : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_prodigies
:-) Read 'm and weap! :-) Respect the past and be happy in the present :-)
Amen brother. Michael Anthony's backing voice can't be replaced.
govrom12 and brotherly stage prescence!
This is awesome
Thanks for this. Was actually at this show and sweet to remember the memories from it
You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. I was there too! :-)
lotta haters on here .. its amazing we still have all 3 of them vertical so I ll be quiet . God bless em , one of the greatest American rock bands ever .. however.. . I dont even know where to start with this show.. the stage design and set that always put them a cut above the rest is gone, with alot of the magic. everybody wearing street clothes ? not the VH I remember so thankful I saw them in 1981, 4 times in 1982 and 2 in 1984.. I wish they could have worked it out with Michael Anthony , still doesnt feel quite right even though Wolfgang is good thank you so much for posting this show , wondered what VH 2012 looked like..
the band is called VAN HALEN there is three VHers and one Roth too bad the kid doesnt sing, it would b allsome if he did
lololol 3 of them vertical. At least its an improvement from 2007
i envy you
justin kasey
The kid does sing and thank god for it...Roth is terrible
Dj Tennessee Agreed. Eddie is still incredible, Alex in top form, Wolfgang is a decent "root note" bassist, and can fairly sing in key, although he looks more like a video game junkie than a rock star. Dave apparently still thinks he's in Vegas by the way he sings. As far as the way they move...they're all around 60, and I think they move better than most 60 year olds. You know, Sammy sang Dave songs; I think it's fitting for Dave to (try) to sing some Sammy songs...just saying'.
Overall, it's Van Halen, and, IMHO, they will ALWAYS rock!
Dave sounded rough man.
I thought he sounded great, except that his voice was a little gravelly but he sang the songs for what they were and didn't go overboard with it like he often does.
You try singing at 58 , he is 60 now . He is doing pretty . This is not 40 yrs ago LOL
flashy5150 really ? turn ur volume nob to the right!
Hey Elmo Hagar still sounds great at his age so what's your excuse on that? He's pushing 60 or over 60. DLR just sucks plain and simple
Elmo Hagar lol
It's so great to see Eddie has his smile back. They all look genuinely happy to be together. And Eddie can STILL make that guitar smoke! Thanks so much for sharing! Made me smile all evening!
Respect! Great gig! thanks guys for everything, now and ever ....
I love Romeo Delight from this show for example, and Women in Love, and quite a few others. I am into all versions of Van Halen but prefer the original lineup. It's amazing to see the venom hurled about, like you have to pick and choose. How high a note can be sung is not the end all be all of a singer and songwriter. If it was, we'd all be Celine Dion fans. I wish the band would heal itself by addressing MA and Sammy issues by making up. DLR included. Would also stop the infighting..
1:50:18 I think wolfie found him a beautiful girl at this point XD
LOVE IT !! Wish i was there!
That was awesome. Makes me a bit teary eyed.
I truly respect Van Halen and their unique sound over the years. But I truly must admit...Eddie and Alex still have it but Roth should find another occupation :(
I guess after listening for a bit it wasn't too bad...sorry :)
John Clay thank you for your comments and being a man of integrity
agree !maybe he should b a bartender at the blue oyster bar
John Clay The audio mix isn't doing Dave any favors, either tho.. I mean, he never was a great on pitch singer to begin with... what's missing here is his EQ, he's harshly muffled. Be that the live show, or the cam mic, whichever it may be.
Age is catching up with Roth he had very few moves that he was famous for and his voice just sounded terrible. Wolfgang doesn't seem to miss a step and of course the guitar was awesome.
Thank you for sharing this - I loved it - as I love them - NO MATTER WHAT! =VH=
AWESOME!
yes, Really. It was the most incredible listening experience i have ever had in my entire life. It took me back to being 16 years old. Nothing has come close to doing that ever before. The energy from the album was incredible. I kept asking myself, "how are they doing this". I'm certainly not lying to myself. It affected me in a way that led me to put that passion into creating this video. ADKOT is a true masterpiece, that grows and reveals something new each listen. I still love it.
they sound great! this is live. who the hell expects a studio performance? dave did great. as eddie and alex. anyone saying dave should retire should f off. if youre not a vh fan why the hell are u here? i agree michael anthony should come back but that doesn’t mean they didn’t put on a good show.
is it my imagination but does roth sound like carol channing?
Was she the one with the sock puppet?
Adam Ford Ha!
+Joe p It could've been worse... imagine DD in those assless chaps now!
Is it MY imagination or does DLR look like Gumby with the AIDS? And, he has the fashion sense/stage presence of Woody from Toy Story. Terrible vocals!
No! He sounds like shit!
Great job, Thanks for posting. I wish i'd caught them on that tour, probably the last chance. Loved this video.
I’m so glad you posted this. Thx! I never got to check em out w/ Wolf. This is kick ass!
They should of just got the singer from The Atomic Punks to tour the classic VH.
He's touring with Steel Panther.. but that might actually be cool.
Jeremy Skaggs Steel Panther ROCKS!
The Van Halens sounds great.
lead vocals are distracting.
Beyond distracting. Roth is a complete embarrassment.
I was there, Thank you for capturing this. Thanks so much, this is an awesome way to celebrate Eddie's 59th birthday. =)
There will never be another like Eddie - he brought the whole rock guitar world to it's knees and then advanced it beyond measure....there are other technical players, copiers and wannabes, but only 1 EVH. I have been watching show after show since his unfortunate passing and it is mesmerizing and just feels good. Thank you God for EVH.
dave looks like barry manilow now
When did Dr. Zachary Smith become lead throat for VH?? I thought he was "Lost In Space" with The Robinson family on the Jupiter 2...
Lido Shuffle. Lol. That was good!
damn ! That was great!
Awesome!!!!
Jesus, Dave sounds like he's constipated singing most of these songs...
i think his voice is a bit blown out on this night
he had a digestive blowout
Dave looks like he's 80. Wtf? Lmfao
Cocaine's a helluva drug
Jade's Drum Channel CHALY MUFY
Fabulous job putting this video together from only audience recordings!
Mighty exciting show,loved it.& the band.
Jesus some of u sure are harsh and probably young.First of all this is live and recorded with what ? These dudes are close to 60 and still jammin...I saw DLR 6 six yrs ago in Atlanta and he was on his game hard. I'm shocked the guy can still scream/sing like he does and still be able to speak after all these years but I agree they miss MA really bad.
Jammin doesn't mean it sounds good. It doesn't. And DLR does not have the stage athletics and grace like he used to. He twirls around like a retired ballerina now.
Jeff L thats right he twirls around like a porky ballerina...
Jeff L lmao!
Could only get through a few songs before I tried to shove a pencil all the way in my ear to stop the
Wow. What fantastic filmwork and editing. Thanks a million for uploading this. I added it to my favorites, and will enjoy watching it again. Can't believe I hadn't seen this already. One of the best filmed 2012 recordings for sure. Very impressive.
Love it!!!
that Van Halen concert with David Lee Roth sucked they need to bring Sammy and Michael
Lee Roth is one hell of a frontman!
out of the you tube concerts ive seen of the new reunited van halen,so far this one is the best.
You're welcome. I was there as well and loved the show. I'm glad you liked the edit!
VH still rockin 35 years later....Haters get effed.....
Who is that old woman wearing the scarf?
Cheers on that one!
j`ai adorer ce show
Sounds pretty damn good for a bunch of old farts!
no they don't fn terrible. check your ears
***** my ears are fine.
wolfgang is what holds the band,his bass and vocals,,or else u can clearly hear dave suck.
Damn, hate to say it but Ur right, Dave is just miley screaming the lyrics know, we have to rely on Panama for when Wolfgang can scream it with young loud voice , Dave really does suck, but people can really go to these concerts for Edyy alone
Thanks for posting this great video. I grew up on Dave era VH--it was a very exciting time in my life and I'm glad I was there to experience it. Sammy has a great voice and I like him, but for me the Dave era was by far the greatest Van Halen era. Seeing Sammy join VH was--for me--a bit like seeing your mom with some other guy and wishing she was still with your dad.
Thanks for uploading. I was there and Van Halen was great! Also not one did I hear Dave say"I forgot the words!" Thanks Again, and tha was a great concert.
Dave needs to retire
I have nothing but great respect for Van Halen, having grown up in the late 70's and 80's, but this shit is hard to listen to. I always dreamed of them getting back together with David, but this is a train wreck. If I had paid money to see this, I would have been pissed. The music is pretty much spot on, but David needs to hang up his mic, at least in the rock biz.....
id rather dave were wild drunk and coked up or something crazy
i agree
Dana Wana Pskana Just watch any live recording from the late 70s early 80's
Congratulations. Nice video. Great audio.
Thanks for posting. Interesting to see how things have changed.
Saw Van Halen as the headliners for Monsters of Rock in Seattle in the 80s. Way later than their heyday of being truly the essence of Van Halen.
