Was there last night and like Sammy said, it’s not a tribute but a celebration of the music. Joe/Jason not there to pretend they are Eddie and Alex. They have their own way of playing these songs. All you haters just don’t get this. This music was great when it was released and is still great today and is older fans enjoy it. You don’t like it, that’s fine as no one is forcing you to listen to it or attend the concert.
I'm 65 and I can remember all of these musicians when they first started out and have watched every one of them mature into very fine musicians. Yes, we will all miss the great ones who have passed away, but enjoy what we have today.
Sammy was born in 1947, just like my dad, who passed on 2020. Watching him singing as if it was 1986 accompanied by the legends Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Jason Bonham, can only make my heart bump and think “This guys definitely rock!” I don’t care about details and styles, they’re in sync, and every one of them master their craft. Respect.
Was there in West Palm Beach for the tour kickoff show. Freaking monsters on the stage-Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Jason Bonham. They killed it. Loverboy did a great job in supporting them. If you can make a show, I would highly recommend it.
@@LOBOIV Hi - his name is Rai Thistlethwayte and he's in a band called Thirsty Merc (short for Mercedes, in their early days he had a petrol guzzler Mercedes).
It’s funny. I was never a Van Hagar fan at the time, although I did see them once at Monsters Of Rock. But now I think I would rather see this line up then the last official Van Halen tour simply because I think Michael Anthony’s backing vocals were one of the most integral ingredients of the Van Halen sound. It’s great to hear his voice again. And this lineup of musicians is obviously stellar.
40 years later and Sammy is belting out this gone like he just wrote it. And bless Satriani for helping Sammy's dream of playing these song live come true.
That’s awesome they started with Good Enough. Always wanted VH to open with that song back in the day but I don’t think they ever did. Thanks for the upload!
Going to the Charlotte, NC show Friday 7/19/2024. Can't wait. This will be my 4th time seeing Sammy and Michael, 2nd time seeing Satch, and 1st time getting to see Bonham! I am pumped. 2 of my favorite drummers growing up were the great Bonzo and Reverend Al!
@booifojoe Ha! Yeah, he did. But here in Florida with the rain and humidity that night, I wish I had worn my beach outfit like he did! Nothing cooler than white linen my friend 😁
Guys Eddies gone RIP, but Satch is gonna play that music again for us and I like the joe touch, we live in such a verbatim world its so restricting and boring.
@@intheshoptvdid you know ed personally, Were you part of the inner circle that included ed & alex and got to spend time with them? If you knew anything about ed (obviously you dont) you’d know he didnt like copycats and guys who regurgitated his shit
@@knightfall9394 Lol, actually I did know him, yes. One doesn’t have to have spent time with Edward to know how he felt about the other half going out and making money off his music. There are plenty of interviews right here where you can see him confirm that. He didn’t have a problem with cover bands however (such as Atomic Punk etc). Look, I don’t know why people are getting so defensive. I dont even have a personal problem with this tour… in fact, Im planning to ATTEND! But no, Ed would not be smiling. Ed has voiced his displeasure with it many times. Now smiling at Wolf’s band… you betcha.
I'm glad you're showing tribute Sammy to Van Halen's music which you were part of and you were part of that band the musicians around you, Joe, Jason, you know, all of you. You know, the bass player. You know, Anthony. Is there all great musicians? And others, no question and they all will play it their own way because they weren't part of Van Halen. But they are just as fine musicians, as Eddie and Alex and I love them both the same. And that's all I have to say good for you. I'm glad you're doing it, thanks.
I can’t believe all the negative comments -there are 5 of the best in the business up there kicking arse and people are having the balls to criticize Joe‘s playing WTF
This carloslozada has commented 4 separate comments complaining about how bad it is. They’re in their 60-70’s like it wont be perfect but its still amazing to see this performance
2:14-2:36 i dont care what the whiney evh purists say, what joe did there was cool and anyone who says otherwise can eat shit and go watch some copycat nobody in their basement play vh. Ed never tried to replicate the studio lead live in 1986 and embellished on it and went off on it during the 5150 tour. That pick tapped melody and all the open string hammers and pulls that followed it was cool.
Haters don't forget to knock the keyboard player for not sounding like Ed either. After that get a guitar and YOU try to sound like Ed or Satch. You won't even get the tuning right let alone the tone. Joe has spent his entire life creating his sound. He does shows like this and the Experience Hendrix shows to show his love and respect to the great ones, not to sound like thier clones. Now for the Sammy haters. He was rich and famous before Van Halen, took VH to the next level and while the brothers were doing thier best to destroy thier own legacies, Sammy just kept making good music...and giving large donations to local food banks in every city they played in, still to this day. I love VH, but to listen and read the toxic nonsense some of you spit out is just disheartening. Side note, VH3 is better than you remember if you're really THAT into what Ed was about.
Smoke absolutely rocks and their goal is to sound great not exactly like they did on live without a net or any other concert . To copy Eddie note for note would be wrong. And besides anyone who followed them knows Eddie never played any song the same way twice . Look at all the there’s only one way to rock videos Eddie did each one different
Everyone should be grateful that we even get an opportunity to see a priceless show like this!
Absolutely, Joe sounds INCREDIBLE and so does the band. So Happy for them all.
I was there last night. Amazing show and performance!
Priceless? Lol Yikes.
Nothing like seeing an old man with a perm, a beer gut, and skinny bird legs trying to dance around like it’s 1986.
@@sjs1555 give it a break, at least he is still Rocking and sounds Great.

Yes sir!
👍 Agree

Mike and Sammy's friendship makes me smile
Take some medication loverboy!
Long live Michael Anthony.
Joe sounds epic here. Was funny to me after the Stern show many were doubting Joe.... The guy is a master !!
Awesome. Nice to hear Eddie's riffs through Joe. I'm lovin' it. Good job, guys.
so good Satriani kicks ass thanks Joe

Pretty sure I'm counting 5 blokes on stage.
@@emjem99
There were. But I could not find the Australian keyboard player’s name.
@@LOBOIV Hi - his name is Rai Thistlethwayte and he's in a band called Thirsty Merc (short for Mercedes, in their early days he had a petrol guzzler Mercedes).
Play that Van Hagar, I love it. See you in Los Angeles!!!
Sammy put on a rock revival in Tampa. Hagar electrified throngs of people with his energy, spirit and talent.
It was amazing!
Thank you Sammy.
That high note M. Anthony hits is just insane
Sure is good to hear (and see) Michael Anthony again!
It’s funny. I was never a Van Hagar fan at the time, although I did see them once at Monsters Of Rock.

So glad they're doing this! Awesome!
YES!!!! Keep Rocking Sammy and rest of BAND you all ROCK
F'n badass. Satch kicks ass. Sammy is 76 f'n years old. JFC. Still rockin' like he's 26. Hell yeah!
Bravo, Fucking Bravo!!!. Damn 75 or 76 years old and Sammy still has it like a 30ty year old.
Fuckin A!!!
Love it. Joe is fantastic love his additions
Satch did great. It's hard to cover Eddie, but he sounds phenomenal! They're all hitting on all 8 cylinders!
40 years later and Sammy is belting out this gone like he just wrote it. And bless Satriani for helping Sammy's dream of playing these song live come true.
Remembering you Master! RIP Eddie 🙏🕊️🌹
The Boys are Rockin the house... amazing Fuckin Sammy born in 1947...
Incredible
Outstanding man just outstanding!
Stellar job .Worth seeing for sure. I’ll gladly pay to see that show . Rock on 🤘 dudes.
His voice sounds AWESOME!
That was f’n Badass!
Wow, so much better sounding than the rehearsals. Sounded amazing here, so can only imagine what it must have been like to be there!
This lineup works for me 👍👍👍
Wow! The entire band and Sammy is killing it!
beautiful! I had goosebumps at the beginning and the end! I was bobbing my head thru the entire song! What a great performance!!!!!!!!
Awesome, I love to see them write some new stuff too. Bring it back and forward!!!!
Those dudes can still play, and Sammy can still sing!
Sweet tour!!!
So many people talking smack. Satch's solo was great! He did it HIS way, not even trying to play Eddie's solo. Sounded awesome!
Such a great lineup. 🔥
Badass. Lucky!! 😂. They sound great. 5150 is my favorite album.
OMG. I'm so excited for the Concord show. This is AMAZING!!!
It was a great opening night! 🎸
Absolutely Amazing considering thier age. Sammy sound fantastic to be almost 80 years old.
I smiled from start to finish
This makes me happy 🤘🤩
That’s awesome they started with Good Enough. Always wanted VH to open with that song back in the day but I don’t think they ever did. Thanks for the upload!
kind of crappy that they dropped it after 1986 and never revisited it or get up on the other hagar tours
@@knightfall9394 IKR
This was an AMAZING concert! Great venue too!
Yes it was!
Dad on the bassdrum...great ❤
Sammy doesn't have the POWER anymore but God Bless him, he still has a great voice for I THINK 76 years old.
WOW!
Thanks to Sammy these VH songs are being played live.
I love it. I hope they record a live album.
This is what the world needs! YES!!!!!
Joe's twist to Eddie's playing is awesome.
Just makes me miss Eddie that much more.
Yes, but remember you can always just push play and he will be there!
@@stephendeleon594 Hhahahahahahahahahahaha
Total power !!!❤❤❤❤

I am so grateful to see Sammy Michael etc as the sing songs I love.
Thanks for posting this video….5150 here in Clearwater Florida….🎸⛱
TY! Great capture!!!
Exactly it’s a celebration…only die hards get it 😉👍
We need this on blue ray!!😊❤
Sounds phenomenal!
F*ck the haters these gents are bringing the rock to the world and god bless 'em, who else had the balls to take this on? Long live VH \../
So jealous of the people who went to this - really hope they come to UK / Europe
Thanks for sharing this. They sound awesome!!
Hagar looks like he just finished dry walling the basement and jumped on stage.
He’s old
@@FluffyindeIdiot, yes he's older. He's 76, but he has the attitude of a 50 year old
@booifojoe Ha! Yeah, he did. But here in Florida with the rain and humidity that night, I wish I had worn my beach outfit like he did! Nothing cooler than white linen my friend 😁
I Have liked Sammy Hagar. Since the first time on MTV, I can't drive 55.
I've been a fan since the " Rematch" album , Three Lock Box
Great voice and just an honest man.
I've loved him since Montrose.
Just can’t wait to see them , couple more weeks at once arts center in NJ
Satchel isn’t Eddie, nor is trying to be. He’s honoring a trailblazer.
Russ Parrish?
but this isnt satchel this is satch aka joe satriani
@@knightfall9394 thanks Spellchecker Rain Man.
@@nightburrito9283 you dont have try so hard to talk shit, i wasnt spellchecking
@@knightfall9394 that just shows you're even dumber for not recognizing it was a spellcheck issue.
See? I don't really have to try hard at all.
Rock on! Gonna see you guys at Red Rock in Colorado! Yay! 🎉
Awesome!
Guys Eddies gone RIP, but Satch is gonna play that music again for us and
I like the joe touch, we live in such a verbatim world its so restricting and boring.
Satch is immortalized now. Fantastic
Amazing video and audio quality!! 🔥
I hope you post more from last night 🤘
Hell yeah!!! I can't believe I missed this show. Sounds fantastic!!! Keep on killin' it guys, and ignore all these haters
Killer .
Haters be gone .
This is superb.
Far better than any other live act on the circuit, bar none.
Dude. One of the greats. I should say some of the greats. Really can’t believe they are still doing it. Mike’s background vocals……
Satriani rules 💪
Always liked him better than Ed.
I just know Ed is looking down and smiling
@@AussieMysteries 🙏
Not likely if you knew Ed
LOL

Can’t wait for Vegas 🤘🏽
Badass! thanks for posting
No problem!
I was sceptical when they announced this but now Im jealous this isn’t scheduled for the UK.
I want one of those John Bonham bass drum heads real bad!
One is forced to give maximum rock effort while under the Six Eyes of Bonham.
Me too and I don't even play drums.
I'd be happy if they sold a round poster of the same picture! Bonzo rules!

I think they did AMAZING!!!
Wow great filming man ! Satriani sounded great and Sammy’s voice still good
Thanks Man!
They sound awesome together. You can feel there love of music.
Love the swell on guitar riff
OH YEAH 😎😎😎🎸🎸🎸
It’s recorded by a cell phone, stop with the “sounds horrible!”
It’s not an official release!
Exactly! They have no clue!

Indeed, the way the haters act you'd think someone held a gun to their head and forced them to buy a ticket and attend the show.
Give it up to Satch he is the perfect choice for this tour. Gotta love Sammy still rockin at his age.
F*CK YES!!!!!
Holy shit, this is awesome!
This sounds great who the hell wants to hear someone try to play exactly like Eddie.
Exactly
people at tribute concerts
@@laudennn that's not paying tribute
Satriani? Bonham? Hell yeah!!! Listen to Surfing with the Alien by Joe Satriani kiddies and you will understand my excitement!!!🤘
Sounds great
Rock on!
