No one comes remotely close to EVH, or ever will. RIP.
When Van Halen ruled the world!
THEY OWNED IT….
That intro is just so hauntingly beautiful.
Eddie at his most melodic, like Eric Clapton Badge live melodic!
Especially now!
Man, is it ever.
Fair Warning was a dark album --- but deliciously dark
the lights of ''VH'' while eddie plays the intro its just legendery
God damn that snare is PEAK!
This is what it means to be a rock star.
One of the most overlooked and underrated VH songs. Great riff and vocals, wicked groove, and killer solo.
^^^@HinjuRock .. Ah Only Heard this Tune the Other Day, I Just Don't Know Y I've Never Heard it B4, and I've Been Playin' it Ever Since .. U R Right Man :D] .v ..
Great Tune !
Definitely a top-10 all-time..best song on Fair Warning imo adding similar to "In A Simple Rhyme"
Everything is "underrated."
Not to me..this and simple rhyme are my favorites.
This band will never be forgotton
The day Eddie Van Halen passed away i was heart broken for day's like i lost my brother or something i wont ever forget him he inspired me to pick up a guitar one of the greatest guitarist we will ever come across in our life time will be missed and never forgotten r.i.p to the G.O.A.T 👊😎
Van Halen in their prime, hitting on all cylinders. The song sounds as great as it did on vinyl, possibly even better...Ed's guitar, DLR's voice...all crystal clear. M Anthony's bass thumpin' and harmonies clear as ever....and Alex's drums snappin' like a firecracker.
110% agreed! My Personal Favorite VH Tuna Of All Time. It Has EVERYTHING about The Band That Was Great & Then Some. How This Didn't Go # 1 Is Beyond Me 🤔👍
0:34 to 0:40 It's priceless, superb, amazing. We'll only see this in another incarnation, on the other side.
Yepp happy Sunday but last 10 years rewind Eddie messed Michael & on & forgiveness of Eddie a drug client wtf American dream is blindness
Yawn
Exactly
You will never see anything like this ever again,,, Epic,,!!
I said the exact same thing
Exactly
Never! But it’ll always live on in my heart and memories 😢
One of the best ever VAN HALEN songs
Old Van Halen is something to behold. Nothing will ever come close.
Raw in your face kick you in the balls, rocken roll beer drinking, pussy eating party music lol
This is the show I would go back in time to see
I got to see them on this tour, it was awesome of course. 👍
This will never happen in the history of the world ever again. Thank you God I was born to experience to this in the day.🤘
One of the best stage moves of all time, when they all hop forward towards the front of the stage...
That is awesome. On the Mean Street video (Italian TV) mike and Ed go opposite of DLR intentionally then they go syncopated. That’s the best stage stuff I’ve ever seen
Copied by many a hair band that would follow. Often imitated, but never duplicated! Van Halen was unstoppable in this era. 🤘🏻
Not a big fan really of that shit, but that was pretty Cool......... Cause it was them. 😜
@@mumbles215
Try watching PRIEST in their prime..
Yes,
IT WAS GREAT
One of their best weapons was Michael Anthony's backing vocals...
@Greased Lightning Mike was right where he was supposed to be, otherwise Ed would get lost.That being said, Daves band tore this band a new one musically.
@Greased Lightning Just saying that Daves band with Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan set a new standard.
@Greased Lightning Mike is an awesome bassist! What's up with that?
@Greased Lightning And you're a bass player? Look, I always say if you can't do it yourself whether it's music or sports, you shouldn't criticize. Learn the craft and be YOUR best. Mike has a number of deals with companies who put out MA edition instruments. He must be that good.
He could wail ... you might not realize it , but a lot of times those surly high notes Roth hit were shadowed by Michael Anthony , bad ass band , Roth gave them flair & magic , Haggar was good , but the Original is always the Best !!
I'm so very grateful that my generation had grown up, enjoying the shows and jams to our beloved Van Halen. We were so lucky and it was the greatest of times.
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
I never got to see VH 🥲
Yes! This for all time. Thank you.
Quite possibly the most perfect moment in rock history
THAN MY FIRST CONCERT WAS A GOOD ONE LOL
My first was the Diver Down tour when I was a Freshman- I wish I could have seen this tour because by Diver Down they had dropped a lot of the Fair Warning songs--Fair Warning is my absolute favorite VH album!
Demonic Sweaters I completely agree.
My very first concert.I was Fn' blown away.Reunion Arena in Texas.Alot of kick ass rockers there.
It’s so good I can’t stop watching it!
I am NOT gonna comment on how great the 80s were!!!!!!!! You'll Hear About It Later..:)
The "Dave era" made them the best band EVER. Just 4 guys putting out full kick ass sound.
Good time R & R.
SO TRUE !!!!!!!!!!
BEST BAND EVER???? GIVE ME A BREAK......
@@adamfox9245 Which band do you prefer? Beatles or Zeppelin? Hahaha overrated guy
I love both!I don't believe there is a BEST and I have a slew of favorites from the Beatles to Judas Priest, BOC etc.....
he was pretty cocky though
That moment when you’re the best rock n roll band in the world
If I had a time machine it would be set to go back to this show
there's definitely a lightning in a bottle phenomenon happening here. wow
yeah, forget about killing Hitler. I wanna see this live
Me too our luck we would end up at a wham concert by miscalculated dials on our machine 😖
I would try to find the lovely at 0:52 if I was able to travel back to this show.
^^@ .. Ha ha, I Like Yo Style Dude :D] .v ..
best band in the world at this point
fuck the word
i love you ojeint to all
Eddie at his peak; Fair Warning= Eddie's greatest work and the finest record by VH hands down.
R S well said!
Yeah, the guitar playing on Fair Warning is just astounding, even by his standard. Love the dark vibe of the whole album too. Kinda futuristic and grimy at the same time, almost kind of Blade Runner
I love Fair Warning. That dark gloomy feel was different from their other albums.
Dirty Movies is my all time favorite VH song
It was dark, intense, whole, experimental, aggressive!
It’s 2021 now, and to say that this performance was nearly 40 years ago (1981) is crazy and shocking. This song will never get old and will always feel legendary. Long live the mighty Van Halen. And to Eddie Van Halen Himself. Rock on in heaven GOAT. R.I.P. 🐐🔥🎸1955-2020
🙏
Its fantastic that we lived when they lived.
Saw VH in '78 as an unamed opening act. Wow!!!!! My friends left soon after Black Sabbath playing. All time pleasure.
@@steveogee7458 my Brothers band "Autograph" toured with Van Halen in 1984, which helped thier
first album go Gold before the tour was over. and hit song "Turn Up the Radio" later made Platinum
Despite their personal issues...THEY MADE ABSOLUTE MAJIC! Legendary songs!
The massively underrated backing vox
I was an intern for MTV, in the studio (Unitel Studios, where the VJs and Director of On-Air Talent worked out of), in 1987. No pay but the best perk was dubbing all the videos you wanted from MTV's vast archive. I remember recording this video (among many), still with time stamp, on a VHS tape and taking it back to college. Then I watched it with some friends and couldn't believe what I was seeing: the perfect Van Halen moment -- one that I hadn't seen live on MTV. They are fighting trim, ferocious and hungry, in perfect synchronicity. The power and the glory. So glad this is available on TH-cam whenever I need a dose of adrenaline and dopamine.
What a totally awesome review, Mark! Thanks!
1978, 1979, and 1980 were no doubt awesome Vah Halen tours. To me, the 1981 VH tour will always be their best. I thought they were at their peak. Simply an incredible band and collection of songs hitting on all cylinders at this point. Oh to go back for just one night to see this tour!
The Mighty Van Halen
No one will ever touch that original four. Ever. My heart is 50% happy and 50% broken when I watch this. Oh, man, do I ever wish every American kid had the chance to fall in love with a band this insanely talented and entertaining. Great artists will come and go, but the original VH was a once-in-a-lifetime collection of talent.
So well said. I absolutely agree ..this was the genesis and iconic Van Halen...when this band fractured, it was the end. Yes ..VH going further more mainstream success with Sammy, but to the fans of those first 4 records? The new VH was a completely different type of band. DLR and Edward were the Lennon and McCartney of this genre of rock. Dave's personality literally spills off the records. His gritty dirty delivery, those brilliant ad libs.."one break ..coming uuuuuup'...genius. And EVH ..he just seemed more inspired working with Dave. I'm glad that DLR and Al and Ed ultimately did drift sweetly back together...and a friendship survived. To bad Micheal Anthony was somewhat...ok alot ostracized..but I totally understand EVH wanting to have his son on stage. I'm glad he didn't wait till he was older, because it may not have happened at all.
Peace 🕊️🕊️
Van Halen 78/84 pure gold.........
this is the best van halen EVER!!!!!!!!!1981 things were so much better than now!!if you werent there then you dont know!!!!!!!!!
I was there 81 Hampton VA 13YEARS OLD
@@Carl-p4o thats freakin awesome.....i would have given anything to be there!
17 working a farm. We had records. That’s it.
How lucky we were to grow up during this time!!! I remember when Van Halen first came out, I was in high school and Eddie's playing was pure magic!
I was in 7the grade when 1st album came out, but saw them on this tour in Fresno.
@@alanmartino5488 I was in grade 8 1978
@@CP-kb1du Same here! In fact, 1978 was the year I got into rock/metal (thanks to KISS!).
AMEN! I'm SO HAPPY that VH were a part of MY/OUR generation! In my opinion, the DLR-era will ALWAYS be THE VAN HALEN!
@@AngelofAnguishok absolutamente
THE MIGHTY VH AT THEIR PEAK!
No other band could touch them, in my opinion.
***** In the 80s......def right.....but Zep is the all time.
Tom Miller You should listen to How The West Was Won or Royal Albert Hall. Plant at his peak could sing like no one I have ever heard. VH is awesome...but they were always more Eddie than the others.
Maiden.
+SvenTviking Maiden can't touch VH
never
Dave was the Alpha of all lead singers, at his peak right here. Nobody better, a bad fucking man !
This was their prime I think.
❤yes!!
Agreed. What's weird is this is when they were close to breaking up too. Ed wanted out.
Yes it was!! I was fortunate to be at this show back then and they were so fucking awesome!! On the ride on BART going home everybody was raving on how great the show was! They should at least release the soundboard recording of the show since they claim to have only filmed 3 songs….😮
They probably filmed more than 3 songs. It’s all we get to see is the thing. But I will take it
Anything before Sammy Hagar was their peak 🙌
That is why the 80s will always have the Greatest music ever
AMEN or LIKEWISE! In my opinion, the 80's WERE, STILL ARE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, "THE PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!"
I cannot name another band that had more energy onstage than these boys. And I've seen many, many *truly great* bands over the past 50 years. Viva Van Halen.
So true. I'm so happy to have gotten to see them. Incredible.
❤ I was there🎉
56 tomorrow and been listening since 81 kids.👍
Saw them live in 1980 - Lethbridge, Alberta. I was 16. It looked very much like this
Happy Birthday!
54 for me on April 23
@@KOSMICKEN09 Happy Birthday!
Van Halen at their absolute best!
the best live performance ever captured of Van Halen was this concert.
batz capo Yes. When these Oakland vids came on MTV in the 80's, hardcore Van Halen fans would live for this to see.
I saw this concert/tour in Toronto. I'd been playing guitar for about 3 years and Eddie melted my brain. Incredible band.
Aussie total VH obsessives like me,haven't been able to see these UNTIL NOW on TH-cam,Australian TV/Radio programmers have NEVER had even the slightest clue,as to whats cool generation after generation-I'm 52 now it defies description how Radio is SO BAD-They ONLY play a bands "Hit Single" NOTHING else,and Triple j [ Edit 12-2020-Triple JJJ actually saved us all down here when I think about it properly] supposedly the hip station "Rock" is almost BANNED,the ONLY time they even slightly hinted at playing something Rock was the first few times they played A.I.C. "would?" Not any of Dirt's album tracks,just would? Van Halen absolutely without fail JUMP. NOTHING ELSE It makes me so frustrated and still I'm shocked,at this"No Album Tracks"ever! Still!
Robert Sattler Wow What a treat for you! This is Van Halen to the bone. Kick Ass Van Halen!
David Lee was my boyfriend for years until he could not comitt I been married 15 yrs my first son named David and I still love him forever
David Lee Roth is a perfect example of it doesn't take a perfect voice to be successful.. unless we're talking about his incredible screams that sound like a cat just had it's tail ran over by a rocking chair lol Groove and soul and charisma is all Dave needed to prove his point.. not to mention what a colorful personality he was, one of the greatest frontman of all time, Diamond Dave!
What do you mean not perfect voice?
His voice is perfect for this! 👍😉
@@oneshothunter9877 I agree….. Dave sounds awesome!
Nah his best screams are his hawk screeches like the ones on atomic punk and on fire are badass!
DLR was perfect for the era 1978-1984 .........
he also handled most of the business end of the Band and after he left Hagar took over that spot
R.I.P. EVH - you were Massive. The Ultimate Rock Star.
Look at that 1981 audience, dam I miss that time. Rolling Stones just put out "Tattoo You", I was 19!!
Now I am 59 and love the music of my generation. I saw Blondie in "82",she was a smoke show!!! She is 76 now..geez! Still pretty. Like the Stones sang" Time waits for NO one"...so if your young be drug free and enjoy your life.... The older you get, the older YOU get.
This generation missed the amazing 70's and INCREDIBLE 80's. 😃👍
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
Hagar couldn't carry Dave's jock...THIS is the Mighty Van Halen folks.
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
"Let spend the night together. You know I need you more than never"
RIP EVH. You will forever be the best rock guitarist in history in the best rock band in history.
He's your FAVORITE, NOT the best in rock history...
There were and are MANY.
@@adamfox9245 funny how my comment has 36 thumbs-up and zero down so many agree. Opinions are just like arse holes, hey it seems even you have one! 🤣
@@seejay60 dude,
I understand he's your favorite but, there are MANY who are as great and maybe better...
@@adamfox9245 dude, do I hear an echo? That is YOUR opinion. There is no "best" only perceptions of people with opinions as to what THEY think is best and those opinions are purely subjective. Some say Hendrix was the best, others say Clapton, others say Page or Gilmour or Beck. All awesome players! EVH is in the top 5 of most "best" rock guitarists polls that I have ever seen. There is no WRONG or RIGHT answer to who is the best only subjective opinions. We just happen to have different opinions. Peace.... out!
Although he is undeniably one of the greatest guitar players of all time, Eddie held his own with his back up vocals.
Eddie and Michael probably have some of the best backup vocals especially Michael in tracks like On Fire and Dirty Movies
THE BEST BAND EVERRRRR!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAA!!!! Nothing today even comes close.
I agree...GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND EVER!!!!!
You got that right
@Christopher Norris that's a hollow reply.
I was there. 15 /20 feet from the stage on Ed's side with my brother Bon😊
The best band of all time,hands down
The best of the very best.....David Lee and the boys!!!!!!
One of my all time favorite VH songs!!! 👍💪👌👏
Michael was the key to the harmony. Please come back. You are needed
Thoughs were good times back then,,, We will never have music like that ever again,,
This is when Van Halen shined!!!!!
NO Band in the late Seventies / Eighties was even - barely - comparable to VAN HALEN ! FOUR ROCK GODS at the peak of their talent !
It was a lifestyle.
Well, selling more albums or records doesn't mean shit even if you are right. look at people like drake or cardi b. sells tons of records and they are complete dogshit.
AC/DC is a great rock n roll band, but its simple and easy to get into and they had the same formula for their whole career that worked but wasn't interesting.
Van Halen was the better band, they were innovators and showed you how it's done and blew everyone away. Van Halen changed the formula and the music scene, AC/DC was just another band that sold records. That is also facts.
I think Powerage is AC/DC's best album but it's not commercialized like back in black.
Van Halen wasn't a commercialized band until they released 1984. Then when sammy joined the band they hit number 1 on billboard everytime even when sammy's songs are not as good as when Roth were in VH.
@@lucasberglund2620 yup, exactly what you said.
Was thinking about how I might counter that statement. So I thought, "Hmmm...at that same period of time what were Y&T, Triumph, Rush, Judas Priest, and Night Ranger doing?" But...nope...you're right.
(Editor's Note-Prior to 1978 KISS would have crushed them.)
@@David-ei1fs Exactly!!!
I saw them on this tour and went backstage to hang out with the band. Fun times!
Greatest rock band of all time. Rest Eddy.
The Good old Days!!
I was at this concert. I especially remembered this song. This venue had great accoustics, not a big place.
I was there with my brother and my Air Force buddies! Oh the memories
Do you think that anyone in attendance that night had any idea that so many people 39 years later would be wishing they were there that night in Oakland. lol. One of the greatest rock bands of all time at the their height.
I was there! We( my friends and i) saw Valerie Bertinelli walking down towards the sound check area on the arena floor before the band came on... accompanied by two security guards. It by far the best of the many VH concerts i've been to. The arena workers/vendors were standing in the aisles watching the show. Everything about the show was absolutely perfect. I'm so lucky to have been there. I was a senior in high school at the time. They opened the show with Romeos Delight...great song to open up with. Actually, they always opened with Romeos Delight for a couple years.
@@matthewmcloone8314 U & I r around the same age. born in `63; graduated from H.S. in `81 here. VH did open with ROMEOS DELIGHT when I saw `em in 1980,CHICAGO. Mike Anthonys`s home TURF!!!
We will never see their likes again. The ultimate band.
One of the coolest
Best rock performance of All TIME. BAR NONE
Dave actually sings his ass off here, one of the best VH songs ever, definitely my favorite album. RIP Ed..
4 guys enter the arena. 35000 people enter the arena. The 4 guys kill... Everyone. Best Band Ever.
Lmao and true
Beasts at this point !!!!!!
Alex's best kit. Love that snare. You can hear It echo thru the stadium.
BadRonald1 that snare was brutal and perfect.
In 2012 I was in a VH tribute act as M. Anthony where the drummer had the "Fair Warning" drums with the black and white stripes with every rack tom and four bass drums present. When he played "Hot for Teacher" on it well...let's just say it was really loud. We did a killer version of this song too. Any VH tribute act that skips "Hear 'Bout it Later" is a fraud pure and simple.
That’s the “Brown Sound.”
In 82 I painted my drums the same way...
@@deathmetaldouglas69
Cool!!!! 👍
Who else rocked this hard in 1981?
Still🤘
This song is so quintessential Van Halen. I have to listen to it every day, in order to get it out of my head.
Ladies and Gentlemen.....Van Halen.....No Bull Shit Rock n Roll.....The Real Deal.....
They remind me of what was fun in the 80's. Going to a party with VH playing in the background. This is a moment in time that will never be replaced, I don't think there's been a rock band nearly as good. Fair Warning was my first VH record and I must've played it 1000 times. Way under rated by the critics, I think the whole band sounded amazing! I'm getting the remastered on cd.
paych GeRonimo my fave too and I even learned how to play unchained,wish I still had the 8 track
+Tom Miller Tom, I think we share the same attitude. Saw the MIGHTY Van Halen several times. 2015 tour most recent.
Few albums do that to me but fair warning can!
Oh, those parties...Arden Ave, I think? God Bless VH & Pasadena. California!
The Maestro, ..alone, in the spotlight, at center stage. 0:21 🎸 🙏
I think I saw these guys in 83 in Philadelphia
I was Twenty-One years-old at that time they were good times with Van they were rocking
Best song they ever wrote off their best album by far.
I was there but LA sports arena in 81 on Eddy Van Halen side the arena is gone and so is Ed but the fuckin best ever feeling in my life i will always be proud to say i saw our Hendrix of the 80s
I don't know how many 50+ are here but I can tell you this; as soon as that riff starts, I'm seeing a starry night through the T-bar of a Z28 above me and a bonfire nearby with people all around in the distance, cuz that's how we did! 40 years later and when this song starts, you're right back there man! Miss ya badly EVH! You're always with us♥️👊😎
Yes the beautiful summer heat, dust from dirt bikes, and the woods. Smell of beer, everywhere, and bbq. In my neighborhood dusk was beautiful. We all kids running around everyone’s house windows open, screened of course and you could hear their tv cranked but most of house was outside. These shows was like going to a backyard party, and the band was known by everyone. And we all synced getting drunk together. And the music and fun was always equal.
AT the time there was none better than these men! Thanks for all the memories when America is awesome, we are all awesome together.
This has got to be Van Halen at their peak.
I love this, Dave sings it straight for once (more or less) and the scream at 4:06 is killer, backing vocals right on...
No one can top that
That big Lighted "VH" was at the END of ths show, it was the light rig over the stage durring the concert, and was dropped, or fell down, and then lit up. it was bright and it was HOT. Great Memories of the greatest damn band on earth. The Mighty Van Halen.
Danniel Amyx i saw them in Montreal during this tour. The front of the light rig pivoted down all lit up, and you could feel a lot of heat once it hit you. Freakin good times!
@@TheProducers That had to have been great times. One of my biggest questions is how could Eddie have tolerated Dave as long as he did, the band always sounded so killer, Dave such a"whatever" .
This era of Halen I was only around 11 maybe, so I didn't get see them till a bit later. Always wondered what it would be like when
Van Halen " for lack of a better way to put it" pretty much owned rock. If I'd only come along a few years earlier. Thank God for Michael Anthony, without him it might have been a great guitar show and, maybe a karate clown dancing act on the side, maybe, I don't know what to make of Dave.✌️
@@mitch5699 only Dave’s voice went with his era and that’s that love him or hate him u have to admit it
@@user-kp1ry3so2s yeah I gotta admit ..
Lights by Pste Angelis who would later become David Lee Roths partner doing videos for Eat em and Smile.
This moment in history, The mighty VAN Halen was the shit!!!!!!!
The double bass outro by Alex is insane. The drum is so rock n roll . There will never be another band like them ever. I'm so glad I got to see them play. This never gets old.
OMG! I WAS THERE!
Eddies clean tone is so spiritual
THAT is the pinnacle of their entire career....PEAK PEAK PEAK...oh to be in northern cali in 1981
even better than the studio version, damn...
ohhh i'm fairly sure there's a bit of 'studio' involved in this version too ;)
This live version captures Van Halen at their best
This has be doctored after the fact.
@@DavianSinner what’s doctored about it?
It was. I gotta go this night in Oakland. If you have no experience in this arena. It was sound proofed, for no reverb, and bouncing audio. None. It was all just like you see it. Watch DLR. not perfectly done, but the screams are on target. Eddie. Just about as clean as the studio. The entire two hours were special too watch. I saw them 6 times after this indoor show. They never were this good. I was at the US Festival in San Bernardino 1983. Eddie was on all night. DLR was just a bit drunk I think.....!
When We Were Kings.
As Ed once said..'Alex is the rock and I'm the roll' ......so darn true. They lock in a groove & never stop.
Eddie is the undisputed king. He revolutionized guitar play. Often imitated, never duplicated.
That guitar tone is UNREAL!!Otherworldly
the boogie body days ⚘💖💜💔💙😁😎great guitars ⚘
So ridiculously good.
In my opinion, this is Eddie's greatest solo
One of them, yes
No way. Eruption is his best all time solo.
Ice Cream Man. I saw EV do ERUPTION!! on the 1980 INVASIONS TOUR; CHICAGO, INTERNATIONAL AMPHITHEATER,42ND HALSTED ST for like about 5 to minutes!! Had to be there my man!!
Eddie Van Halen is and always will be the greatest guitarist of all time just totally out of this world nobody will ever be like him he is the man the greatest he brought something different to our world and it just mystified hypnotized everybody and everybody wanted to be Eddie but to this day nobody can do what he did
ONE OF THE GREATEST
