4.0 out of 5 stars Great videos!!, December 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Van Halen Video Hits, Vol. 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Only problem I have with this tape is you only get 3 David Lee Roth era videos!! I know they did mostly live videos before that, but Oh Pretty Woman would have been a bonus. You get 13 classic VH videos. VH once said when Sammy joined they could never top Dave in the video showman ship department. So why 10 Sammy videos guys? Still worth it for any VH fan!! Also be warned, if your after the "Dreams" video with the blue Angels in it, this does not have it. The version is the live version they released in the early 90s, live at the Wisky:( Hot For Teacher is my all time favorite video and it does have that!! Rock on!!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not DTS, Not even a good picture, May 10, 2000

This review is from: Van Halen: Video Hits, Vol. 1 (DVD)

I have learned a big lesson through the purchase of this video, some groups will show their fans respect and give them DTS with high quality video. Not the case here. This is simply a VHS version recorded to DVD. Not to brag but I could have done this in my basement and produced better quality. If you do not believe me, purchase this DVD then purchase the The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over. I guarantee you will want you money back.

4.0 out of 5 stars very entertaining, October 31, 2004

This review is from: Van Halen: Video Hits, Vol. 1 (DVD)

These are excellent videos, well produced and filmed, and Van Halen is in top form on all of them. The first three are from the David Lee Roth era, who was lead singer back when brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen started the group in the late '70s, along with Michael Anthony on bass. David is part acrobat/clown, part Vegas glitzy showman, and very entertaining with his athletic, campy humor; he's also a good vocalist for that type of material, backed by the solid musicianship of the group, and the guitar wizardry of Eddie.

Enter Sammy Hagar, replacing David in 1985, and giving the group a different style, with some of the material leaning towards serious subjects, stronger vocals ("When it's Love" is superb), and though it doesn't have the fun of the David era, it's equally lively. "Dreams" has the footage from the Whiskey-a-Go-Go, and the final song, "Humans Being", is also the last that Sammy recorded with the group, and it is part of the soundtrack for the hit movie "Twister".
Total running time is 1 hour.
Song list:
"Jump"
"Panama"
"Hot for Teacher"
"When it's Love"
"Finish What Ya Started"
"Poundcake"
"Right Now"
"Dreams"
"Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)"
"Can't Stop Lovin' You"
"Not Enough"
"Humans Being"
