the Michael Anthony vocals on point...the drums..check...even Mitch pronouncing the words like dave...pete...spot on.....to hear one of my favorite bands stuff recreated live with this type of skill it's so appreciated...it's like the 81 tour because that was when Dave stayed faithful to the album tracks...the last 2 tours he really talked through the verses..still great because it's prime Dave, but 81 van halen is where it's at...they were a well oiled machine on that tour...to hear the 1984 stuff done in the manner of the 81 tour is so appreciated...thank you mitch and co...this is great
I've heard lots of guys pretty much get the notes and rhythms right, with pretty much the right tones. But you've managed to get Ed's POCKET too. That's impressive.
@@kjphoto If you play the correct timing and get the chord voicings correct,...minus any tonal inaccuracies,..it is as good as it gets.The wrong chord voicing, coming in early or coming in late are nothing more than what I like to call,...WRONG. One real intricacy on this particular song is the fact that the licks played between the D and C add9 are not played with the tremelo/whammy bar.
Still my favorite VH tune. I owe this song a debt of gratitude...years ago it won me the favour of a nice girl who was told this is the song I hear when I think of her. Then I played her Beautiful Girls. We had a nice evening. Well done Pete!
How awesome was that ! The tone the feel the EVH swing. Brilliant stuff Pete and band ! Stage show looks great also. Yet another great reminder of what we are missing …..
So Great, Pete! Great job! Eddie Lives On! And I have You to thank!!! Your Drummer is killing me, too! Man, I wish I were at that show! Play On, Boys! Eddie is Proud! Can’t you hear that million dollar smile of His?!
Great start to finish. Pete’s guitar. Wayne Killius drumming and Daniel Spriewald on bass were great and Mitch Mallory’s vocals and nice touch playing backup guitar for a bit just nailed it. Total professionals.
Pete, that sounded fantastic, man. I can't think of another time I've ever heard anyone sound more like EVH. Your preparation really showed. Very well done.
Mr THORN you are an amazing player (that is workout) gifted with an incredible musician feeling (that is talent). this is so fluid so musical. total Respect
Wowza, totally nailed it! Must be an awesome feeling knowing you’re playing your inspirations tunes to honor him. Gotta be an awesome feeling inside. Great job guys! Pete damn….you da man! Mitch sounds great! Wish I could have seen this.
Wasn’t Mitch supposed to be the new frontman of Van Halen after he auditioned when Sammy left and they let go Dave but they Opted on Gary instead I think.
There are people who can come close to the EVH feel, but I've never seen anyone who can do it perfectly...until I clicked on this video. I'm blown away how good this was. It was like listening to EVH himself.
Pete just gets it… the whole thing. It’s not just the notes, but the swing, the swagger and fun… so much fun. Awesome!!!
Thanks Andy!
Sounding great! Looking great! 🙋🏻♂️
Made my day.....at 1:05 AM. Fuck yeah. Rock on Pete.
Fire extinguisher near the front of the drums for when Pete's guitar's fretboard catches fire during the solo.
Damn, Pete!! Amazing!! 🤘🏼
Pete ! I can just visualize Eddie playing this ! You have got the phrasing feel that is a true gift. Eddie would be proud !!
Thanks man!!! I love Ed's playing so much
absolutely right on the money, I loved it when Mitch took over the rhythm so tight, so Pete Thorn could nail a fantastical solo.
Alex VH snare sound nailed!
Absolutely killer Mr. Thorn!
My favorite tune off of 1984. Kick ass job
Pete killed it; I can't not cringe at Mitch.

Damn Pete. That was awesome.
SO GREAT PETE! TONE ASIDE! The feel and precise bending and harmonics!
Amazing job Pete!!!
Just incredible.

Exactly ive heard guys like Andy Woods etc take off Ed since his passing not even close!! Pete just nails it!!
Pete.....WOW!!!!!
This is exactly right. Almost no one finds Eddie's groove but Pete has in a big way. Cheers from the Big Apple.

Pete had THE TONE!!!! Almost got a little choked up watching this. One of the baddest VH songs EVER and THAT is saying A LOT.
Absolutely great cover.

Pete Thorn, holy shit did you nail the vibe of one of the baddest ass VH songs ever, absolutely awesome.
Dat snare tho! Great performance.
Pete that was so great! The whole band was awesome! Wish I'd been there!
Eddie is watching and he probably has a big smile on his face. 🥲
Pete Thorn making Edmonton proud!!! You got to bring this here.
Pete "Eddie"Thorn unleashing the power of the 80s.
I'm so glad you have found your vocation, mate. You seem to be totally in your element.
awesome Pete, love how good it looks visually as well.
Wowza, totally nailed it! Must be an awesome feeling knowing you’re playing your inspirations tunes to honor him. Gotta be an awesome feeling inside. Great job guys! Pete damn….you da man! Mitch sounds great! Wish I could have seen this.
Man so good! Live music is so great when played with passion and fun, even seeing it on TH-cam. Congratulations Pete!
Thanks!
Killer work Pete and everyone!
Pete
You should do a video about the setup you used in this concert!
That would be awesome.
Wasn’t Mitch supposed to be the new frontman of Van Halen after he auditioned when Sammy left and they let go Dave but they Opted on Gary instead I think.
Hats off Pete ..... OMG
Thanks!!
Great job, tone, feel, playing, and overall sound. Loved the Starz shirt on the drummer too!
Man that sounded amazing!! Don't think I have ever seen another band nail VH like this.. except VH! Super stuff.
There are people who can come close to the EVH feel, but I've never seen anyone who can do it perfectly...until I clicked on this video. I'm blown away how good this was. It was like listening to EVH himself.
PT, you’re a BADASS. Thank God we still have you. Keep rocking sir:)
Awesome job Pete and the band!
Beautiful 🎉
Amazing guys!! Thanks so much for this!
Amazing, Pete! You did a fantastic job!
Holy smokes...that was beyond amazing...WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! 💗💗💗

Pete you played amazing Eddie would be proud!!!
