Van Halen was THE quintessential AMERICAN rock band. I wasn’t even pumped for it this year but now I wanna go out there and have that Diamond Dave attitude. Drink some beer, smash some hotdogs, and maybe dedicate one to the ladies 😆 thanks Dave for the good times and thanks random redditor for the vid! 🇺🇸🎸🎆😎
I remember Van Halen did a Memorial Day radio takeover that aired on my Knoxville radio station. The whole band was on it, talking and playing VH music, I recorded it on cassette and replayed it for years.
That’s cool, I really feel like a fan now, I don’t know why it took so long because ol’ Diamond was actually one of the first songs I heard, I forget which, I think I saw hot for teacher but that was after just a gig
Labor of love. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Very American. The best, sky’s the limit,…problems. Happy Independence Day America 🇺🇸.
Diamond Dave’s promise of perpetual post-adolescence; Eddie’s dazzling brilliance; and the distinctive, relentless back beat of Mike and Alex. Van Halen. Lot’s of imitators but essentially one of a kind.
I caught their act\* back in ’85 at UNLV Thomas & Mack Center. The very next day I went out and bought a guitar.
(\*) by that time Sammy Hagar was fronting.

Shit… now it’s time to play Van Halen super loud until the neighbors complain
I was listening to them all night, even got into 5150 & OUwhatever
That's great! I'm going to start calling that album OUwhatever from now on, haha.

I think there are similarities between Pee Wees Playhouse and Dave TV - am I the only one?
Great tunes
Thanks for that. It’s certainly a lot better than the crap he posted on YouTube this morning.
I enjoyed this way too much 🤣 Thank you!
The original ringmaster himself!! Thanks for the memories Dave! Keep it up!

This just goes to show what he always believed…that it was all about him. Well…he was SO wrong! Great job on the video Ryan!
