These are great! It’s nice to be reminded how cool DLR was back in the heyday. My 12 year old daughter was watching these over my shoulder and even she was impressed with his antics! :mrgreen:

I really like the way the still shots change with the beat of the music. Really well done, sir! Mahalo!

guitard: I go weeks (months?) without even checking in over there (although I’ve checked in more often lately), so I can’t really say how things shake out as far as CVH and Hagar-era VH fans are split there.I remember that place was really hopping back during the 2004 tour though, so I’m sure they have a strong Sammy contingent.What I can say for sure is that talking smack and trying to one-up the next guy seems to be the MO for a lot of posters there – and that has a lot to do with why I don’t hang out there very much. And also, they are not collectors there – so they don’t have the same appreciation for this kind of footage that we have for it.

Halenberg: The simple fact that they don’t even know about this footage yet says a lot.
These clips should’ve been at the top of the daily posts today not a single mention of it anywhere on the site.

I always thought it was more Hagar fans at VHL… but I’ve seen a lot of very passionate and knowledgeable fans from the CVH era there too. Guess it’s mostly a group of every side which is fine..might be about 50/50 I suppose.

But like Guitard and Halenberg said above… I don’t find that this incredible archive footage from the early years gets too much love over there.

I guess bottom line is this is **exactly** the kind of footage that everyone at VHT can drool over and appreciate to the fullest. The classic elusive video footage we all love…

single-8: no mention anywhere else including VHND…

Just so you know, the guy who runs VHND, Jeff, is also a member of this site and is also a big fan of old footage. But if you tell him not to publish it on his site, I am sure he will respect that. After all, Eddie tells him that all the time, lol!

S8S –

Love this stuff – I regularly share your “Eruption” 1978 video with people, and they go nuts for it.

I agree. It’s definitely an amazing performance and documents just how ferocious Eddie was back then.

single-8: I wondered about that too..thought I was cracking up..I was thinking about sharing these links with another site,VHL..any comments?..Y/N

To be honest – vhlinks is a very sam-friendly site… too much if you ask me. They wouldn’t appreciate the clip and would probably chime in with some stupid nonsense about how fatso sings better. If you want to check out a dave-era specific site, try the rotharmy.com, your video will be greatly appreciated there.


Resident dickhead. I will hurt your delicate feelings.

Halenberg: Ok Good thing I checked first thanks for the heads up.

There have been many audio & video shows shared here over the years that have been VHT exclusive .

It’s part of what makes this site the best around. What happens at VHT……………….


When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

Rob – DJ had everyone fooled back then, even us here at VHT. There was no reason not to believe him until

he disappeared, you posted your clips on You Tube, you became a member here and set the record straight.

I don’t know if the reference to DJ is still posted at VHND. If it is, perhaps Jeff would be willing to remove it.
