Poor Van Halen...out of tune! Whoa!

Van Halen performed "Jump" in concert in North Carolina in September, and the keyboard track must have been pitched too high, resulting in this heck of a mess. No one seemed to have noticed in the crowd, but you may notice at times when he tries to cover for being so out of tune.

It's just awful from the very first guitar note. His guitar kicks in around 55 seconds, and then around 1:50 it's laugh out loud bad.  Oh my.

Ok no offense here..... I personally believe it could of been better. However, I have taken videos myself of musicians and the audio with that much ampage is hard on my camera. The audio usually sucks. Event hough it didn't sound that way at all. So, I am not gonna bash Van Halen..... Because there could be a number of reasons.... Until I see them live myself... LOL

Someone posted an old Moody Blues concert on You Tube, and it was great. (I watched it at work, since my puter at old won't let you tube come through). Also Styx sounded great, and I think these two were captured by either a cell phone camera or a small cam corder. Technology is GREAT!!!!

That was HORRIBLE !!!! It was totally Eddie's guitar....keyboard seemed fine to me . The guitar was SO not worth of that ovation, I'd
be po'ed if I'd spent that much money to see
em and they sucked that bad.

Are we sure Eddie is still sober? It sounded like a little kid got ahold of the guitar. Or a cd that has a scratch through it but it doesn't quite skip.
Poor guys, they are great though.

P.O.B.!! That hurt my ears now. Even my little chihuahua Rosie is looking at my computer and appears to be in distress over what she is hearing!

Yeah, I hear rumor is that someone gave Eddie the wrong guitar, which made it out of tune. Who knows.
