  • Sammy Hagar performs "I Can't Drive 55" at Farm Aid concert, September 22, 1985, at Champaign, Illinois' Memorial Stadium. This is soon after it was announced that Sammy would be Van Halen's next singer. At the same show he also performed Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" with Eddie Van Halen on guitar. (See my other video: • 1985 Sammy Hagar & Edd... )

    Great Video!! thanks for sharing this. That red-VOA Dean was SUCH a COOL guitar!! I always liked his HSAS days with Neil Schon.

    I've seen every form of Sammy from Montrose to solo, to VanHagar to Chickenfoot and he kicks some major ass no matter where,how or with who

    I was a paramedic at this event and was stationed right off the stage. I got ton's of autographs. Sammy was very nice and signed a couple things for me. Eddie was trashed as usual. Tom Petty was so wasted at this concert he fell over his mic stand. It rained most of the day but Sammy got the crowd going

    This song should seriously have been in one of the Fast And Furious movies, I must say.

    Dave and Howard wouldn't know talent if it bit hit them in the face.

  • @DarkEliteEric

    Do they have a name besides "...And The Sammy Hagar Band?" I bet he dropped them like led bricks soon after this.

  • @drumr72
    @drumr72 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    could not agree more Dukabor, have seen them both live and Sammy always connects with the audience. Plus Sammy is a real musician, has tons of respect while Dave (great showman, yes) does not have that same respect from musios and fans.

    You think singing 4 gigs in a row is bad? Try being the cscreamer in a hardcore band. After just one night you can't speak properly the next day. But it's worth it for the fun of being on stage!

  • @JimHadar1
    @JimHadar1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Too bad this vid cut out Sammys intro speech to it. He said "Here's one for all you tractor pullin' motherf*ckers!", then the song kicks in. I was board op'ing at a radio station carrying this live that day (1st Farm Aid) and 'bout fell outta my chair laughing. The General Manager stormed into the studio and said "did he say what I thought he did?" I replied "you bet your sweet f*ckin farm ass he did".

    I love how Farm Aid begs regular people for money to help out the poor farmers in America...Do you know how much government assistance farmers get these days?? Every farmer in my area is rich as fuck. They get brand new personal vehicles every 2 or 3 years, they are able to build 2000 sq. ft. buildings so they can "store equipment", but most of them just turn it into a huge greenhouse for growing and selling marijuana. Farm Aid can suck nuts.

  • @IMaDEM0N
    @IMaDEM0N 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @MASTEROFASSWIPE Hagar may be no slouch, BUT HE IS NO EDDIE VAN HALEN...EDDIE VAN HALEN CHANGED THE ENTIRE FACE OF ROCK MUSIC...From Hendrix-Influenced with some Eric Clapton thrown in...to the fucking 1980s!!! & Sammy Plays like he learned FROM EDDIE...That's like comparing Elvis Pressley to James Burton...

  • @FixFalcon
    @FixFalcon 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's cool that this show happened, but what was the point of "Farmaid"? Every farmer I know gets so many government subsidies they don't know what to do with it. There's one that lives out by my parent's, he has an Olympic sized indoor swimming pool, a 2400 sq. ft. workshop and a Porsche. Yes, please donate to the poor farmers...

  • @IMaDEM0N
    @IMaDEM0N 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @IMaDEM0N & as a Follow-Up, if anybody remembers what happened in Van-Hagar, Eddie went to the Keyboard alternatively...go listen to the song Jump by Van Halen, that's a perfect example....

  • @mdub2000

    If Howard said he's mediocre he needs his head examined!!! Sammy should have stayed with Gary.But don't forget about Bill the ELECTRIC Church.Great Bass player!

  • @freebird1974
    @freebird1974 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kind of ironic to see Eddie and Sammy at the beginning of the video seeing that Sammy took Dave's place at the helm of Van Halen the very next year

    Who said Eddie's sober? Didn't you hear about the canceled tour dates in March because he had to be put back in rehab?
    I get the impression Sammy is very happy with his life and surrounds himself with good people. He doesn't need Van Halen to bring him fulfillment.

  • @music3874
    @music3874  16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those of us who followed the band throughout their career know that that is absolutely true. Based upon interviews from the time, Eddie, Al and Mike were much happier having Sammy in the band than Dave. They felt Sammy was a much more comfortable fit for them musically as well as personally.

    On this day in 1921 {September 10th} near Berlin, Germany the Ayus Autobahn highway was opened to traffic.
    The highway's outstanding feature was its nonexistent speed limit...
    And 83 years later Sammy Hagar released the album 'VOA'; the first track on the LP was "I Can't Drive 55".
    The song peaked at #26 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 Singles chart.
    'VOA' stands for Voice of America & was Sammy's last solo album before joining Van Halen...
    Mr. Hagar will celebrate his 66th birthday on October 13th.
