Van Halen members went their separate ways after their Diver Down tour. Dave stayed in South America with his travel troupe, the Jungle Studs. In 1983, they were offered $1.5 million to headline the Heavy Metal Day of the US Festival organized by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple. The Clash, unhappy with the commercialization of the event and the paychecks of other bands, engaged in confrontations and refused to play an encore. Van Halen hosted a lavish private party during the festival. The band performed on Heavy Metal Day, delivering an explosive set despite being heavily intoxicated.

Please note: This series is not being monetized in any way by me. If you see an ad, it's because it is being monetized by whoever owns Van Halen's music. I made this video purely out of love for Van Halen as a tribute. Seven months of my time to make this is nothing compared to all the happiness this band has brought me over the years. -Alan Berry 00:00 - Intro to Episode 2 of Van Halen’s 1984 documentary 00:18 - The Jungle Studs 01:21 - Van Halen gets a call from Apple’s Steve Wozniak 01:48 - Short history of the US Festival 02:32 - Offering Van Halen a gig at the US Festival 02:57 - Favored nation deal clause 03:15 - Tracking down David Lee Roth 03:32 - Booking David Bowie for the US Festival 03:49 - The US Festival booker Barry Fey 04:22 - Having to match David Bowie’s payday 04:45 - Van Halen and the Guinness Book of World Records 05:16 - Van Halen’s publicist, Steve Mandel, saves the day 05:50 - Why Stevie Ray Vaughan did play on the Bowie tour 06:13 - Why John Mellencamp dropped off the US Festival 06:28 - Van Halen learns they have more work than just playing the show 07:16 - A man was murdered at the US Festival 07:36 - Why the US Festival cost Van Halen so much money 08:16 - The Clash are not happy 08:51 - David Lee Roth pokes fun at the Clash 09:24 - The Clash’s petulant tirade 10:36 - Joe Strummer speaks highly of Eddie Van Halen 11:14 - Eddie Van Halen thinks this video sucks 11:28 - Heavy Metal Sunday at the US Festival 12:15 - Van Halen chills while everyone else weathers the heat 12:39 - The reason for the private party space at the US Festival 13:08 - Bash of 1983 13:21 - Van Halen’s rider at the US Festival 13:58 - Roth’s drugs are kicking in 14:15 - David Lee Roth has a press conference at the US Festival 14:49 - David Lee Roth tries some new material 15:26 - David Lee Roth makes MTV’s Mark Goodman feel uncomfortable 16:09 - Van Halen plays a pre-recorded message for the US Festival crowd 17:06 - Van Halen plays the US Festival 18:12 - David Lee Roth being a bit unstable 18:27 - Van Halen lays down a clinic on how to play live 18:59 - One last shot at the Clash 20:08 - One of the highlights of Van Halen’s US Festival performance 21:03 - Van Halen proves they are atop the rock’s world of live performance 21:29 - Fans are disruptive going home

For what it's worth Triumph's huge album 'Allied Forces" was released 18 mos before this in Sept. 1981. "Magic Power" and "Fight the Good Fight" went to #8 and #18 on the Rock charts and the album went to #23 on the Billboard Charts. Their best years were hardly 'far' behind them. They were all over MTV.

@dangermartin69 Год назад

Not to mention their performance was fantastic.

I could have worded that better. I love Triumph. I was meaning that compared to the other bands their hay day was more in the rearview. If I could take it back I would and phrase it better. Rik Emmett is one of the best ever.

@myradioon Год назад

@@TheTapesArchive Ha no worries. I just remembered listening to "Magic Power" on the radio around this time as a 13 year old. They weren't as "heavy" as many of the other bands so I do agree they were the odd band out and on their last flash. (So was solo Ozzy Ha!)

Never will forget uS Festival 83. High school freshman. It was iconic then. And $20 was the price of every concert then. General admission! Front and center was anyone’s game if they got there early enough or fought their way to the front. My crew and I had mastered it. It was an golden era for concerts. I can’t believe ticket prices now. It’s beyond inflation. It’s disgusting.

@DreidMusicalX Год назад

I was 15 and there Day 2! This day was awesome! Hot as hell in the day, cold as ice at night though. People broke the water cannons trying to get cool. But we survived, well most of us, and thrived that day and rocked on! Its a day in history in a time in an era like no other that will be again. RIP Eddie!

So many people and the lineup was an absolute dream for a teenager in 1983. The only problem were the bathrooms, lol, which felt like a 5 mile walk through a wild, undulating, screaming human zoo, and good luck making it back to your little piece of land! It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that.🤘🍻

@riceflatpicking4954 Год назад

So many memories. In 1984 at age 16 I was hit by a car as I was crossing this big road and I wound up in the hospital for a month. It seemed like everything in my body was broken. My mom bought me a brand new Walkman and a brand new copy of 1984 on cassette and it lifted my spirit through the roof of the hospital and made my time there a lot more bearable.

@DrRoq Год назад

Excellent job, Alan! Finally someone gets it right with regard to the Us Festival. It was an awesome, energetic show, not the sh*t show people who didn't attend would say. Dave was also not as "lit" as people say he was, he knew exactly what he was doing. When he would gaze us 300,00+ fans and then signal to Al in utter amazement, that was our energy that kept him in that moment. It was like two bandmembers in disbelief that just 8 years earlier they were playing a dive bar called "Walter Mitty's Rock & Roll Emporium" just a few miles away. Looking forward to the next one! Rock

@@TheTapesArchive I wish people would stop praising the US Festival performance. By the third song literally THOUSANDS of people were headed towards the gates because they were so bad. Anybody who was there, and is being honest, will tell you VH got their asses handed to them by The Scorpions. This is coming from a California fan who saw them DOZENS of times since the 70's. The only other time they've played that bad was the 2004 reunion shows. You did a good job with clips, but spreading the lie of the US Fest being an iconic performance HAS to stop. It's not true in any sense of the word.

Eddie was so F-ing bad ass......period. In 1000 years they will still be talking about Eddie Van Halen....We Love You Eddie!

@finmac5548 Год назад

Dude this is awesome work, I would have paid for this for sure, it must’ve been a lot of work to put together. I love the humorous feel which is akin to the party and fun vibe Van Halen gave off! It’s very frustrating as a long time VH fan, that there is so little quality live footage of the band during the DLR era and no official video releases at all from that time…so this has satisfied my VH cravings as this has a lot of clips I’ve never seen before which is awesome to see…….but it makes me yearn for those days, what with the world going to shit and there being no great rock bands coming through and true iconic rock stars being a thing of the past, we truly lived through the best of times as far as music and freedom goes. Can’t wait for the next episode, I just pray they don’t get taken down, that would be a sin. Thanks so much for doing this! 🤘🏼🙏🏻

@TheTapesArchive Год назад

Thank you for the kind words. If was to make it for the money, I would have never made it. Plus I would have never made what it cost me time wise. (I figured it at around $70k.) Knowing that folks had 15-20 min of fun and entertainment is an awesome pay-off. I will never get why VH doesn't treat it's fans better. We all know they are sitting on archives of material. I mean it is their call etc. But most of their fans will be dead in the next 20 years or so.

@chickenbeek Год назад

When i was first getting into rock and roll around age 11 i used to go to the Safeway and just read all the rock mags, Cream, Hit Parade etc. I remember these stories at least what was printed, so well to this day. This was cool though to see some of this footage that you would just basically fill in the blanks in your mind, as a reader. I got into rock/metal mostly because of the guitar and drums. And ultimately wanted to be Randy or Eddie, but Roth was just such a powerful persona. While the guitarist were sitting in their bedroom kind of introverts this guy was not just a party animal rockstar singer with nothing in his head. He was a beast of human being. The kind of personality of a William Shatner or many others that, no matter what you think of them, they have this insane drive and have done an mind boggling amount of things with their time on this earth. I always found that quite fascinating.

@supergrogg Год назад

I was there and with most of the crowd who had sun stroke from the heat all day and lack of water and food ( we were kids) by the time VH came on ( really late from what i remembered?) we watched a couple songs of Dave forgetting lyrics and talking a LOT in between songs...we thought it better to leave maybe to beat the 400,000 crowd...which everyone else had the same idea and couldn't budge in our cars till 5:00am! This doc was totally on point and what i really enjoyed was how truthful it is. The only miss was that D.L.R. used the "i'm gonna fook your girlfriend" line every night on tour. He had scripted lines he used every night. The awkward D.L.R. stand up shown in the doc was spot on. I love VH so to show what really happened made this even more enjoyable to me. My review of that day: Best band performance- The scorpeans Best Underdog Performance : Quite Riot My favorite band at that time was Triumph and they were great. Check out the Truimph documentery on the US festival. TONS of US festifal footage from that day (i could actually see myself and my friend stage right in the bleachers as Truimph played! ) Amazing day. I never knew till watching this about Bowie! Rock On

@johnstiles7709 Год назад

I was there. At one point Dave grabbed a harmonica and attempted to do a call and response with Eddie (or maybe a harmonica solo). That's mostly what I remember 40 years later. And also the thing about getting squirted with water. The Scorpions came on before them, and I remember them being a lot tighter than Van Halen. I told everyone that wasn't there that Van Halen came on all fucked up.

This was great, thanks for doing it, really nice job! I especially enjoyed the story of Ed going into The Clash’s trailer after they played, he showed true class with that little visit. RIP Joe Strummer and Eddie Van Halen!!

Watched the excellent part 1 a few hours ago and now this one. Anyone else hear that demo version of 'Romeo Delight' earlier in the vid? In one of my VH books it's basically said the work that Van Halen did for this one show was the equivalent of what they do for a normal U.S. tour. Very well done here @TheTapesArchive and I LOVE the funny little video bits & captions you added.

Love that ending with Michael Anthony bass intro to You're No Good backwards. Bought this on VHS in Orlando fl for 20 bucks in 1994. Also the Largo MD 1981 show. I was at that concert. 12 times I saw VH and I'm no worse than anyone else.

The US Festival was simulcast on the radio here in LA. All I remember was listening and drinking in some alley to VH rocking live...

@guitarhero9592 Год назад

I remember it was KMET or KLOS listening from San Diego

@hakashaqU812 Год назад

@@guitarhero9592 I think it was KLOS. If you notice the back of security's shirts near the stage it has that same style that they used to put on their bumper stickers that they handed out.

@guitarhero9592 Год назад

@@hakashaqU812 Yes you’re right! I remember the station would always be at concerts giving out stickers with the name of the band that was playing that evening . Back then the station used to come in really clear here and I remember listening to Mark and Bryan in the mornings. I would listen to KLOS more than the local stations.

Any episodes on '1984' the album? I was expecting something like your Sabbath album going song by song with interviews and archival footage.

@TheTapesArchive Год назад

Yep, but only if you subscribe.

@markbirchette8740 Год назад

I was at the US Festival and for me the event stealing band was Triumph. In fact, last night Triumph showed their whole performance and Gil, Mike and Rik were in the chat with us, along with M.T.V V.J. Martha Quinn! On 5-25-23

@TheTapesArchive Год назад

I agree Triumph was excellent. I could have worded that better.

@ddregs1 Год назад

Triumph kicked major ass that night. Unexpected maybe, but they came out as the best of the bunch. What an amazing band.

@mikem6384 Год назад

The "i've forgot the lyrics" gag during Romeo Delight is one of Dave's standard ways of connecting with the crowd.. I've seen him do it a few times. Not sure where he did it first. 😎

The amount of time and research you’ve put in to this hasn’t gone unnoticed. Thank you so much for teaching me more about my favourite band after I already thought I knew everything there was to know (I’m now finding out my knowledge didn’t even scratch the surface) Can’t wait for the next installments!
