Long live Sammy ... "The Red Rocker" and the band, whether it be playing EVH songs or Sammy's and the band's many hits ... It is ALL fantastic! We better enjoy it and appreciate it while we HAVE IT! I LOVE THIS BAND!
62 and been a Sammy fan since Montrose, Zep was my favorite band growing up, loved Surfing with the Alien, and Eddie was and always will be my favorite guitarist. Grateful to be alive and hearing this 🙏🤘😎
Its not really an honor to Eddie Van Halen when Sammy plays some of his solo stuff and Joe as well. If this was to honor Eddie and Van Halen then only VH songs would be played.
@@bobabooey4537 Then you would whinge they are making money off Van Halen songs. It doesn't matter what Sammy does. People IE you, will always complain... How can they win? Thanks for being one of those who have to always ruin something instead of just enjoying it. I don't know what is so bad in your life that you constantly do things like this, and I don't care. Nobody does. Learn to enjoy life instead of trying to ruin everything for everyone just because you had a bad day... ok?
@@bobabooey4537 , Sammy helped write almost every song they played. Stop trying to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. Ed's dead. Alex is out. Wolf is Wolf. Sammy and Co make just as much money if they just played their Circle set. There are guitar players in VH tribute bands that would make you think EVH was reincarnated. But what's the point when you get to see arguably, one of the best guitar players in history - not just a copy-cat player - help celebrate the life, and the band he created, of the greatest there ever was?
@@muurimc Van Hagar never had a number album or single in Europe. No chance Sammy will bring the tour that far. Only going to countries where Sammy had a number 1....Which means exactly 1 country on the tour schedule...
Haters will be haters! But what i saw is Sammy and Mikey killin it, and Joe doing his best to pkay like Eddie. Which no one can do! Great job Joe, Eddie would have been honored.
Sammy mit seiner Band hat Spaß bei dem was Sie tun. Und alle die dort waren hatten Ihren Spass. Why not? Ich wünschte ich wäre dort gewesen. 😢 From Germany good luck.
What a great way to celebrate the songs of Van Halen and Hagars career, superb performances of so many great songs. A shame it’s doubtful we’re going to see this touring in the UK.
Love when music elitists have to make condescending comments like this. It's not about replicating technical ability, it's about replicating someone's particular style. Everyone plays a little differently, nothing is "easy" about that. We all know Joe can go above and beyond what Eddie did on a technical level.
@@neighborbruce I was adressing all the trolls condecending Satch when this was announced. Like Joe was some beginner and not one of the best guitar players in the world.
So early in the tour and still clearly killing it. Saw Satch and Chickenfoot at the Chicago Theatre and he melted the place. Chicagoland awaits August 3rd baby !
They were beyond expectations and I think they did a great job honoring Eddie. Satriani played everything note for note, didn't put anything extra on it
Really? Like seriously would an underrated drummer be playing with Sammy, Joe and Mikey? Can you answer me a question honestly? Why dd you say the most used line on social media? Did you think it will make it look like you know something noone else does? Makes you look like you're ahead of the curve?. You know like some cool dude who knows something noone else does? lol If he was underrated, he would not be part of this tour and would not even be known to you. An underrated person is not a person the entire music industry knows the name of. You look foolish making this comment. I'm guessing you're not out of school yet? Please take the time to explain your need and desire to make this statement. I would like to research it. The more in depth your answer the better. I'm doing research on why people say the most commonly used things on social media even though it has been said trillions of times before. Your answers might help me understand why nobody has originality anymore. When I publish my paper I will even share credit with you if you are willing to give your real name...
Me too! August 23rd in Houston. I saw VH with DLR in 1985. Saw the very first Van Hagar show in Shreveport. Saw Van Hagar two other times. Saw Joe in a smaller venue in Houston . I've been a guitar instrumental afficionado since the 80s so this is like a full circle moment for me. And y'all MUST check out Mammoth WVH to see the Eddie legacy living in the uber-talented Wolfie. He blew me away opening for Alter Bridge in Houston in 2023. "Take A Bow" in particular is an AWESOME song and Wolfie shows he learned some guitar tricks from his Daddy. 🤘🎸
It's okay, keys shoulda had organ during the chorus and the piano seemed out of timing in the beginning. But, I get it, not VH for real but still sounds nice and I love Satriani, he's the best ever.
So its all good for poser wannabe tribute bands to play van Halen songs but people judge the real players real recording artists? Shut up if you don't like it go see a tribute band in some local bar 😂 2 members that are out touring to pay a real tribute to VAN HALEN
This is Exactly Why Led Zeppelin Didn’t Continue Without Bonzo…..! Because Everyone Becomes a Cartoon Look 👀 This is a Bit of Therapy For The Principal Players ….and Sammy Again is a Better Singer Than David Lee Roth Sammy is Where All Rock Singers Are Measured By….. You Go Sammy This is More Important Too You Than It Is Too Us…..
Not the same without Edward! Love the vocals of Michael Anthony, but just is not Van Halen. I will watch "Live Without a Net” over and over before I ever want to see Joe Satriani try and paly like Ed! Just sounds wrong. RIP Edward!
In all fairness, Eddie didn’t play his own stuff the same way all the time. Joe didn’t have to do this. He got it together much faster than I would have. Give him some props. RIP EVH. I’m still chasing you!
Sammy Just Got His Check For The New Remastered Box 📦 Set….of Van Halen No Need To Be Hungry He Got His…. On Rhino 🦏 Records and Too The Sammy Fans ….Yes Sammy Sings Better Than Roth…. and Sammy is Where All Rock Singers Are Measured By….. …..Am Sure That’s Why Kurt Cobain Blew His Head Off Because Sammy is a Better Singer….! and Dave is Loosing No Sleep 💤 Over This….
@@johnshultz7469 Lame start (as in it was a lame start...Sammys video with a tribute to himself which then stopped before everyone silently walked on stage), to a Sammy specific show (i.e. it was a tribute to his own VH era with very little Dave era (2 songs and a cover song?), and no Gary era)... Certainly not best of all worlds...
Long live Sammy ... "The Red Rocker" and the band, whether it be playing EVH songs or Sammy's and the band's many hits ... It is ALL fantastic! We better enjoy it and appreciate it while we HAVE IT! I LOVE THIS BAND!
The band nailed this one.
And this is early in the tour. They're still warming up!
62 and been a Sammy fan since Montrose, Zep was my favorite band growing up, loved Surfing with the Alien, and Eddie was and always will be my favorite guitarist. Grateful to be alive and hearing this 🙏🤘😎
I was grateful to be able to hear these tunes live one more time like this. Totally took me back to 1988 Monsters Of Rock.
get over that ed's not here. This is honoring him as far as I'm concerned.
Yep
Its not really an honor to Eddie Van Halen when Sammy plays some of his solo stuff and Joe as well. If this was to honor Eddie and Van Halen then only VH songs would be played.

Love to see Jason with pictures of his DAD on his Bass Drums.
@@walterevans2118 Anything but VH right.... Very distracting.... Best of Sammy....without honouring the VH band to any great degree..
@@evansmusic2009 ??
This is my one criticism of this tour- lose the bonham drumheads they are way too distracting
@@WoodyBReal That's a dumb take. Jason's dad was one of the best rock drummers of all time. Why would you have a problem with honoring him?
@@ChadHoffman-f7gthanks. It makes sense when Jason does his own thing, but my opinion is it doesnt fit this tour. Peace
I hope Joe sticks with this rig because it’s the best tone he’s had in 40 years.
He really sounds great. Nailing Eddie’s sound
Thank you so much Sammy singing those Van Halen songs there's nobody can do it out there Sammy and Mike a great job singing those Van Halen classics
This is such an amazing event to witness a legend playing a legend. Rock the fuck on, kick ass!
I wish they expand their tour to Europe too
@@muurimc Van Hagar never had a number album or single in Europe. No chance Sammy will bring the tour that far. Only going to countries where Sammy had a number 1....Which means exactly 1 country on the tour schedule...
@@Me-qp8vz Sammy's funding this tour. Try to imagine what it would cost to move this tour to Europe. Stop being a Sammy hater and enjoy the music.
1:38. There’s Mikey with his signature high harmony! 💪Rai doing an excellent job on Keys and BG vocals too!!
Haters will be haters! But what i saw is Sammy and Mikey killin it, and Joe doing his best to pkay like Eddie. Which no one can do! Great job Joe, Eddie would have been honored.
Sammy mit seiner Band hat Spaß bei dem was Sie tun. Und alle die dort waren hatten Ihren Spass. Why not? Ich wünschte ich wäre dort gewesen. 😢 From Germany good luck.
Great sound. Joe doing an amazing job. Well done and a great tribute to both EVH and Sammys musical career
Damn, that solo sounded so good. Good bridge pickup tone Joe.
Um..
Hes always had a great tone. Hell of a player
“Right Now” I’m jealous I have to wait until next Monday to see this LIVE
I'll be there with you
Absolutely fantastic!!!
Sounds good! Joes tone is on POINT
I think it's a great way to Honor Eddie Van Halen keep his great music alive..
What a great way to celebrate the songs of Van Halen and Hagars career, superb performances of so many great songs. A shame it’s doubtful we’re going to see this touring in the UK.
Great to see Mike Grooving live with the bass again on this one (Paul)
GREAT SOUND ❤
Love the ending jam!
Thank you for coming to Florida to play! We love the loco-motion.......................................................
Beautiful all legends on that stage.
Amazing job, Sam, Mike, Joe, and Jason! Right on honoring Ed with this tour Sam and Mike. Love you guys!!
Right Now these are the only dudes who can do justice to this song.
Epic night!!!!!! Ed would be proud.
Thank you Sammy . The clown act could never pull this off . We love you Sammy
Joe’s playing is perfect. Going after the spirit of Ed’s playing without trying to copy him.
Easy gig for Joe. Probably has a lot of fun with the band.
Love when music elitists have to make condescending comments like this.
It's not about replicating technical ability, it's about replicating someone's particular style. Everyone plays a little differently, nothing is "easy" about that.

@@neighborbruce I was adressing all the trolls condecending Satch when this was announced. Like Joe was some beginner and not one of the best guitar players in the world.
@@MrIvica76 either way I don't think this is an "easy" gig for joe. Replicating someone's unique sound is very hard regardless of technical ability.
❤LOVE U MIKE AND SAMMY❤
I'm loving this! They have to keep this going. Do a record. That would be great!
EVH can be happy,his music still alive❤
Sammy sounds great!
So early in the tour and still clearly killing it. Saw Satch and Chickenfoot at the Chicago Theatre and he melted the place. Chicagoland awaits August 3rd baby !
Nice to have live keyboards.
They were beyond expectations and I think they did a great job honoring Eddie.
Satriani played everything note for note, didn't put anything extra on it
Sammy can still sing his ass off. Sounds the same as he did 35 plus years ago.
Right now - Ed's not here and Joe has his hands full! Awesome 😉
This was awesome!
With all the Van Halen and Sammy hits its a win win situation, Hoping they come to Puerto Rico, 20 years is enough waiting!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I feel I hear Flounder, "This is gonna be GREAT!"
Jason Bonham awesome drummer very underrated

This one was good
Sound great!
#1 tribute.... All amazing
This is awesome!!! =VH=
Surprised to not hear Dreams, Love Walks In or any of the hits from Balance….Going next Saturday in Virginia
To high for sammy, they have to play these in a lower key, any singer over 60 just helps not kill his voice
@@davincitesla8554 I swore I heard somewhere in an interview recently that love walks in was going to be on the set list every night
Nice job on solo Joe 3:26
Man that sounded so bad ass.
This was SO solid!! I can’t wait to see them in August!
Me too! August 23rd in Houston. I saw VH with DLR in 1985. Saw the very first Van Hagar show in Shreveport. Saw Van Hagar two other times. Saw Joe in a smaller venue in Houston .

@@musicnutzunite That’s awesome dude!
A 76-year-old man who can still sing like that shouldn't wear the pants my wife wears. 🤣
satch kickin some major ass and doing EVH justice. Rock the fuck on. #VanHalen4Life
i love van halen is music 😍
Incredible ❤❤
Great stuff!
Fans : Please sign my record
“Right Now !!” 💿🖊️🤣
Mikey is still at the Top of his Game
Sammy needs this money grab for some more big macs!
Rest In Peace Ed.
It's okay, keys shoulda had organ during the chorus and the piano seemed out of timing in the beginning. But, I get it, not VH for real but still sounds nice and I love Satriani, he's the best ever.
Considering their ages they did fine. Setlist was varied and paid honestly to different eras. Raw footage will always have its glitches...
Not bad but besides Eddie something is missing. Just don’t feel Bonham gas same tone as Al. I’m all in if it’s Sammy , Mikey, Al, and Wolfie.
Well Al is being a stick in the mud, so he’s out. And Wolfies got his own stuff going on
Wish Alex Van Halen accepted the invitation
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
I like this formation band....Joe Satriani the best instrumental want join to Van Halen band. Really profesional...sound like Edhie Van Halen.
Aren't they called Chickenfoot ?
It’s All Sarcasm on My
Part All In Fun 😂
you went to the show and only got like 5 songs???sad!!had to other you tubers to find the other songs!!!
😢
Satch wireless?
Most if Not All
Got The Sarcasm
Just One Didn’t Get It….!
Satriani?
Yes
So its all good for poser wannabe tribute bands to play van Halen songs but people judge the real players real recording artists? Shut up if you don't like it go see a tribute band in some local bar 😂 2 members that are out touring to pay a real tribute to VAN HALEN
Don't know why Joe would tarnish his career with project like this,,sad the VH thing just like Pantera thang= Greed
This is Exactly Why

Bonzo…..!

This is More Important
Too You
Than It Is Too Us…..
I DO WANT more and more Van Halen songs played live it doesn't matter who is playing them
yawn...
Background vocals are awful.
Sammy Hagar era of VH was so good !!! In my view David Lee Roth could not sing he talked in a sort of melodic way, sorry buts just my opinion
Yeah Dave’s voice died like 20 years ago
Not the same without Edward! Love the vocals of Michael Anthony, but just is not Van Halen. I will watch "Live Without a Net” over and over before I ever want to see Joe Satriani try and paly like Ed! Just sounds wrong. RIP Edward!

RIP EVH. I’m still chasing you!
You know this isn’t Van Halen & that Eddie has passed away don’t you?
