The Steve Vai's genius is to imitate the Sebastian Bach's voice "looking for his microphone" before the beginning of the song which is precisely built on this conversation between the singer and the guitar. A great moment. Amazing
The old ones are by far the best. It was great when DLR did it and still stands up now. Just good time rock and Stevie Vai and Sebastian Bach still got it 😀🎸🎸
Just ran across this while going down a yt rabbit hole. Grinning ear to ear, watching this & reading through the comments. A nice Sun afternoon treat.🎸
What a performance form Steve. He will go down in history as one of the best. Hendrix Eddie Vai Joe so many great guitar players so many unknown who are just as good but that's the way the cookie crumbles ! I was lucky enough to see the eat'm n smile tour F**King AMAZING ! ! ! !
These old rockers deserve respect. They were giants in their time. Even today, few of their contemporaries demonstrate equal talent. Go back another decade or two, and the talent discrepancy increases even more. Think singers like Robert Plant, or even guitar players like Les Paul or Chet Adkins. Few people today can do what they did then even with all of the best gear that was unimaginable for them. A very rare few modern musicians still have that magic, but too few. Most of the best aren't even trying to become famous. They are studio musicians who just want to pay the bills and be sure bread is on the table everyday. Modern hero level musicians who get zero recognition and you wouldn't know from Jack if you met them on the street.
I’ve often wondered if Dave was a cigarette smoker, and if his diminished vocals were the result of that long term habit. We know EVH was a heavy smoker. They all partied heavily nack in the day, and too much boozing can reek havoc on vocal chords, as well. Sucks that VH last tours with Dave are mostly known for how bad he sounded, even when the band was on point. I’ve often wondered what specifically killed Dave’s voice, or if it’s a combination of things?
@@cleech74 - Yes, all kinds of pics of Dave smoking. Both the early days and present day. Hagar, Mikey, Wolfie & Cherone all non-smokers.... DLR, and both VH brothers heavy smokers.
@@scottcummings8602 That makes sense. It’s really unfortunate, and their last run was more of a cash grab. For guys who made some of the best rock & roll albums ever, they had to have had conversations during the practice sessions, knowing just how shot Dave’s voice was, and that it was bad enough to potentially piss off the fans that would shelled out money for expensive concert tickets, and leave the show feeling like it was below their expectations. Musicians often lose a step as they age, but Dave literally couldn’t sing a good amount of their material.
@@1970borntorun Hey, Sebastian Bach is 52, and sings like he's 32. He's kept his voice up. Dave has all those classic songs, and butchers them every night. I've heard Eddie Trunk say this as well, it's not just me.
@@muchomusiclibre You guys are TOTALLY missing my point lol Dave doesn't CARE to be a great singer at this late stage of his Life. He is up there having fun, dusting off the old VH classics for the fans. Period. My comment was NOT to invest time the tired/stupid debate on whether Dave is a "great singer" , or to compare Sebastian to Dave, or to contrast Dave's vocals now to 1981. Do you guys have it now, or do you need an Excel Spreadsheet?? lol
great unbelievable lineup. Sebastian, Akira and Steve! where can you see this... i'm jealous if you were there!! (but next year i am on The KISS Kruise 10... haha)

Vai still playing it like on the record 35 years later. Dude is a badass
One the greatest. Dude is sick.
Killin it 🤟🏼
He just plays so effortlessly, like the Guitar God that he is.
I was thinking that. Steve is a living legend
Steve Vai is Steve Vai. Pure legend and a one of a kind virtuoso.
Eat em and smile is an amazing album.
Criminally underrated
Venkman44 100% the best guitar bass and drums album that year.
You're damn right. Aged very well too, unlike 5150 with those computerized drums. Eat 'Em and Smile has character.
I agree, I listened to the complete album yesterday, as I always do when changing the strings on my guitars.
"big trouble" is my favorit track 🤘
Bach is still incredible.
Vai .... just a virtuoso as always. He nails everything he plays effortlessly
Akira Takasaki is still playing in japan or anywhere in the world !!
LOUDNESS is still allive !!
When Akira is your rhythm guitarist, your band might be loaded with talent.
nobody Fucks with Steve Vai
ヴァイと堂々と弾き合える高崎を誇りに思う⚡️
Holy shit! Just noticed Akira Takasaki on stage at the end of Yankee Rose.
Loudness!
Mind was blown when I noticed that too....and Sebastian singing Loudness for a sec!!! Hell yeah, this was a wormhole I'm glad I went down.
MCA
Yeah, I just realized that too, near the end of the Yankee Rose, that was Akira Takasaki. Cool !
@@jeepreworked6388 Thats when I realized it. Too bad we can't hear his guitar
Akira Takasaki from Loudness!!!!!!!
Playin' a Killer guitar!
He is a great guitarist.
Awesome! I should've recognized the star guitar with a Dano headstock
@@shredhed572 While Akira did use a Dano headstock Killer Guitars model, (in tribute of the old Sandoval customs, where he would use an old Dano neck), the one Akira is using here has Killer Guitars' own trademark design headstock, with a 5+1 tuner configuration...
Yeah!
Bach is such a badass. And DLR did some of his best songs with Vai & Sheehan.
Love how Vai plays his Roth era songs....so much fire and rock in his approach...dude is a MoFo 🤘🤘🤘
I love it when he sings that little snippet of Loudness. :D
Eat em and smile NEVER gets old!!!! I just watched this the second I woke up at 4:30am and I'm headbanging and jumping around in my kitchen LMAO
Thats funny I'm up at 5am doing the same
Hey it's Enrico Palazzo🤘

"YOU WANNA HEAR SOME MORE DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH???!?" ....Well, sure, if you're the one singing it, Sebastian.
The old ones are by far the best. It was great when DLR did it and still stands up now. Just good time rock and Stevie Vai and Sebastian Bach still got it 😀🎸🎸
Cool that Sebastian fit in Crazy Nights at the end since Akira is on guitar too.
Sebastian is still an amazing vocalist and Steve Via is just phenomenal on guitar.
People forget that sebastian was one of the best ever rock singers.
@Mark Gibson the dude has like a five octave range.
Well,he's washed up now...lol
@@nicolassosolic3760 yeah hes just a loser like you now.
He still sounds better than a lot of so-called rock singers of today. Shows how good he USED TO BE. He sounds better here than he has in awhile.
@@isaiahmarquez9717 word
Oh sh!t!!....Sebastian was singing LOUDNESS! CRAZY NIGHTS
Yeah, that was a really cool little interlude! Well placed from Sebastian.
I caught that too, wait a minute, we get 2 for one
@@TheRetrospective It's the little things in life...
@@tyhnbgtyhnbgt Only a few people caught that one and I'm happy to be one of them!

Wow! What a treat to find this on my TH-cam feed! Phenomenal performance from a stage of amazing musicians.
Agree

Hey! That’s Akita Takasaki tearing it up! Total badass and very underrated!
This is the best version I’ve seen. Brilliant stuff.
bas is so much fun . did a great job on a rock classic . love this song
Killing versions.😀 \m/ Vai will always have it...and great to see Seb still sounding as awesome as ever!☺
You can see Bach's sincere happines at 3:10 , bet he was very happy that day
Sounds amazing as always. Love Baz and anything he does. Rock on mother trucker!!🤘
Sebastian can still rock! So happy for him
Pretty cool knowing SB knew all
The words and timing almost perfectly, lol. What a fun song. Lol 🤘🏼
What a performance form Steve. He will go down in history as one of the best. Hendrix Eddie Vai Joe so many great guitar players so many unknown who are just as good but that's the way the cookie crumbles ! I was lucky enough to see the eat'm n smile tour F**King AMAZING ! ! ! !
dmn Steve played just like in the album, that's awesome
That bass player is a beast!!
Jeremy Dooley Philip Bynoe!
Fucking Awesome playing with is tongue...The guitar evolution Chuck Berry, Jimmy Hendrix, Ed Van Halen, Steve Vai...All are awesome great music
Wow 👌 👏 marvellous performance of For the Love of God. One of the best I've seen 👌
That chick singing is one heck of a beast!
Going back to the Talas days with shyboy......Bynoe playing Sheehan, Well done sir.
Say what you will but man is a showman...saw him do Dr Jekel and Mr Hyde in NY and he nailed it
This is fantastic. Love eat em and smile. Such a great album
I was a little skeptical at first how it was going to sound, but it turned out GREAT.
CHEERS
the bass player was looking at him like 'umm okay, the song is over now' lol

My favorite vai , Roth era .. good ole days
Man, “Shyboy” kicks some ass! My favorite live version is Mr. Big from San Francisco in ‘92 I think!
Vai, Bach and Takasaki are here ! Great guys !
Philip Bynoe is a beast on Bass!
Probably the best live version I’ve seen since the eat em and smile tour
Didn't anyone catch the Loudness verse Bach sang towards the end there???? Cmon now
Crazy nightsss!
Akira Takasaki!
i must say Sebastian Bach sounds really great here
I was surprised how good. I heard he couldn't sing anymore...sounded good to me...this was almost 7 years ago but still...
Sebastian Bach seems like a tool but he’s an amazing frontman that can actually sing.
great cameo there at 04:00 Sebastian singing a bit from a Loudness song 😁😁☝🏼☝🏼
Unfortunately, the last 10-15 years DLR would only be able to talk his way through this. Sebastian did the song justice.

How about Sebastian Bach droppin' lyrics from Loudness' Crazy Nights @ 4:02? That was bad ass
Seb est dévastateur !
un charisme de malade !!
"Looks like we got a couple pretenders to the throne" ..... Lived up to Daves drunken quote to Sebastian and Axl way back when.
Hey Arika Takasaki of Loudness is in there as well. Hot Dog Awesome man!
Wow! Blown away!
Akira is a awesome!
Camera guy singing sounds like Lieutenant Data.
Sebastian is kicking ass here. Sounds better than just about any other rock singer his age.
Cept Udo maybe. That guy sound exactly the same as the 80's - high notes included.
They are rocking
just shows you how great a front man DLR was.
Wow, that is some strange logic
Thought I was watching the end of Crossroads for a minute!😂
Jack Butler cuttin some heads!
Bach sounds amazing!!
Dude still burns inside like he did when he was 28 years old
Vai proving yet again that no one else is on his level.
Finally someone on stage that is as tall as Vai. Vai probably loves that the singer actually knows the words and can sing in pitch.
You’ve clearly never seen any boots from the two tours Vai did with Roth. He was on point start to finish on those tours.
Let's just gloss over Akira Takesaki!
Thick atmosphere of rock 'n roll here! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
As a Steve Vai, DLR and Skid Row fan... This made my day.
I'd love to see a collab between Seb and Steve. A heavier edge, and Steve's 7 string :D
That was friggen awesome 💖
Incredible, a guitar battle with Vai vs. Takasaki!!
Haven't seen Akira in a while. That was a true treat
Sebastian needs to make a covers record .
B-Side Ourselves by Skid Row
This is amazing
Kudos to that Bass player!!
Philip Bynoe
bass player is a monster
They should have an eat them and smile tour with Sebastian singing
This album rocks so hard.
Bach did himself proud here. It's a hard song to sing!
@4:02 Rock and Roll crazy nights! Loudness! Yeeeeeeeessssss
Akira Takasaki
DLR & Sebastian Bach on same stage. Be still my heart!
Awesome underrated song
When he started singing Crazy Nights that was sweet
タッカンがいてビックリしたw
So many people complaining about the sound quality of a fan recording..
One of the most underrated songs. Can't believe in Rock Band hasn't done a great rendition of itaround the 4th of July. Maybe Godsmack lol.
this makes me miss DLR
Que elegancia Steve!!!! Love u
Nice to see the signature Carvin Legacy! that axefx is just for effects I’m seeing more tubes again like Petrucci’s Mesa Mark V
*Akira from Loudness, Steve Vai, & Sebastian from Skid Row..... I never imagined 30+ years ago this would be possible!*
this right here. Soooooo good.
But nobody mentions the bassist. He hangs too! But who is he?
freddy ferrillo That’s Philip Bynoe. Look him up. Great bassist.
Sebastian and Devin was the BEST SCREAM SINGERS
Steve is flawless as usual
A little bit of Crazy nights... Loudness
I love David Lee Roth, but he really needs to listen to this and remember how it's done. Bach kicked ass on this.
Oh please dude! Like David at his age even CARES about a sounding like he is still 24 years old on stage. Don't be ridiculous.
Roth was a great showman, but I have much more respect for someone like Bach (also a good showman) who cares to keep sounding good.
