Live Without A Net

[Raldo]

I decided to watch this video for the first time in a couple of years and all I can say is, what energy this band had that night. From 'One Way To Rock' to 'Rock and Roll', these guys were on their game. I figure most of it was due to the fact that this was a 'brand new band'.

Watching Eddie play is absolutely mezmorizing. He was, is and will always be the 'King of 10 Fingers and 6 Strings'.

[BrokenCombs]

Agreed!

[79th and Sunset]

Honestly, the show I saw that year in STL was better than the video.

Lots of energy from Ed and the boys. Yes, it was a "New" band. Should have had a "New Name", IMO.

Yep Yep. That show friggin smoked. Actually, it was taken from both nights in New Halen, so the energy was sustained too. I have the boots to both shows, and both are just awsome all the way through. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

[Dan Halen]

LWAN is awesome. When you watch it you can see why Van Halen is one of the best live bands ever. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I thought that LWAN was actually the second night. The only stuff from the first night is shown during the credits. I think Eddie said they had all kinds technical problems the first night, so they released the second night. I could be wrong again. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Out.

Track 5, you are correct sir! I just read an old interview with Ed and he states almost word for word what you posted.

LWAN is still without a shadow of a doubt the best Damn live video I've ever seen. This video is what got me into VH in the first place, I remember seeing parts of it aired on MTV so I decided to tape the Van Halen Unleased special. The band had a great time joking around during the whole interview, you could tell at the time that they really were friends. I don't think there is anything on that video I don't like. It rocks.

hmm. I could certainly be wrong myself here. The only thing that made me think that in the first place is it seems like they are wearing different clothes in some songs than others. I may have it mixed up with RHRN though.

[diggyd]

It is definitely awesome. It blows RHRN away. I just wish it was on DVD since I'm about 75% converted from VHS to DVD.

Yep, you mixed up LWAN with RHRN. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] It happens to the best of us man. Although I've never done THAT one, I've done some others. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Out.

Agreed. But that's VH for you; always three steps behind everyone else. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] They could have released their best concert vid on DVD, but noooooo....they could have added many more bonus vids to Video Hits than just Without You, but nooooooo.....

The energy was very high the night before the New Halen shows when I saw them at Providence.
Shit I was soooo high that night, my friends & I smoked about 18-20 joints from the drive there to during the show.
If anyone was at that show and remembers a fucking crazy man dancing in the aisle on Eddie's side, THAT WAS ME!

a question though,
When they played BOBW & Love Walks In on the MTV awards, was that actually live? Or was it taken from tape?
I remember Dave performed earlier in the show and they showed him in his dressing room in his bathrobe. That must have been weird.
Van Halen and Dave on the same show.

The lead on summer nights for that show is my favorite solo Ed has ever done

And that bit at the end where Eddie wets his pants...HI-larious! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
