- Fourth single from their 1986 album, "5150", peaking at #33 in 1986 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
Tweaked the colour correction and corrected the aspect ratio as well as added enhanced audio.
Hope you enjoy!
They caught lightning in a bottle at this time. Top of their game, no videos, no explosions or flames, no dancing girls, no gimmicks. Four guys killing it. RIP Eddie. Thank you for the memories.
Truth.
Right on brother
I miss Eddie
God this is Rock and Roll
At its best..
Certainly...
I know you’ll never see this reply- but you nailed it with “lightening in a bottle.”
This was the greatest VH concert ever. To me.
Greatest vocals, greatest band brothers (b4 egos and drugs) and greatest harmony ever. Gotta have MIKEY.❤
As you said.. no gimmicks, no flaming towers, nothin but PURE MAGIC and JOY!
I had to chuckle.. bc Sam is screaming “YALL ON TV NAW!!!”🤟🏼like a time capsule..🫦
Who’d ever guess that even that lil comment would make this even more powerful.
I’m forever grateful I got to see these maestros in concert at every stage…including camping out on sidewalks for tickets.
(Except with the Great Gary Cherone. Love him so much!)
Why can't music be like this anymore? What a magical time..
And I think God I got to witness it thank God I was there from the beginning to the end
Because it wasn't about money back then. Now it is. The soul left the music industry in the 90's.
Pure rock like this just doesn't really come around anymore!
@SWheels As someone who unfortunately born in 2002-and a teen in the 2010s-I say AMEN to that!!
So glad I lived through this era and enjoyed it alongside them. I think I'm getting too old for the cynical stuff that seems to be so mainstream these days.
Michael Anthony , one of the most underrated backup vocals ever.
Sammy KNEW how great Michael is and that's why he was invited to join 2 Bands
Totally agree
Listen to VH with Roth with MA's vocal track stripped out......OMG, just terrible. MA was actually the lead singer then
I saw Van Halen with Wolfgang and It was 3/4 Van Halen. It was not the same without MichaelAnthony, and his back up vocals.
He wasnt underrated lol. Lots of people knew his talent as a bass player and backup singer
Nothing beats the 3 of them doing their little stage March. Nothing! That’s pure rock’n’roll right there !
They stole that from the breakfast club
@@philvacanti1446 Hi Dave.
So fun
They were definately happy together in this concert.... what went wrong?
AMEN!
Man. One thing about Eddie......he loved what he did. That infectious smile was no show. Rest in piece Eddie.
His Smile was one in a Million. Rest in eternal peace Eddie 🙏
Sammy and Michael too
Didn't he just! That smile! I just loved that he was so cool and that smile was so cheeky and unapologetic. I will never forget hearing when he died. It affected me and I never knew the guy. Just remember being a teenager in the 80s and loving Van Halen. I feel they are frozen in time, yet timeless.
Oh for sure! He was the best! He looks a little bit like he doesn't feel too great during this number.....he was ill a lot.....RIP
I just turned 70 and this song still rocks. Miss you always Eddie, be free in the spirit world...
Everyone is playing the BEST! Don't worry, be happy!
Love sammy and bass player I was shocked when. Eddie replaced. Them don't like dlr
How about that Michael Anthony? He doesn't get enough love but that signature Van Halen vocal sound is all him with those high harmonies.
Absolutely agree. He sang amazing harmony. Missed that sound on the last Van Halen album.
@@jjcaron72 Don't get me wrong, Michael Anthony is a phenomenal harmony singer, but it takes at least two to harmonize. Eddie sang great harmony right alongside Michael. Even in later years; after the tongue cancer, etc) Eddie still sang harmony with his son.
Mike rocks.
Van Halen fans, and music fans know that the combination of Michael and Eddie background vocals made the Van Halen sound. Unequaled.
Just listen to Cabo Wabo.
Yep...where is at now?
Michael Anthony is and always will be cool!
The genuine smiles on this group is priceless. RIP Eddie.
Yes! Saw them in concert 7 times...always looked happier with Sammy! Dave had the original voice, but was such a self-centered dick.
RIP Eddie Van Halen amen September 15th 2021 thank God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 bless your essence amen 9-15-21
@@lindaguss9124 The only problem with Dave live was that he barely really sang the actual lyrics! At least the vids I've seen.
I get the feeling like me there are a lot of guitarists and fans who are choking back at the moment. Eddie always had the childlike smile and cheeky look as he effortlessly executed some amazing moves on that fretboard. God this has been a shit year . You out there remember this man for the nice guy he was as well as the extraordinary contributions he made to our lives R.I.P Eddie
Sparkellor 1 It is amazing how someone you do not know or have not met can have such influence on your life. It is not as if he had the world notoriety of John Lennon or Freddie . But yes it choked me too x
You could not have said it better . I love how respectful people are being about this.
Extremely talented and gone way too soon. I was privileged to see him in concert in 1981 at the Oakland Cal. Arena. always has been my favorite concert.
It's been 4 days and I still cry
yes thats why i enjoyed watch eddie playing as much he did,hes always smile so his music brings so much fun and happines to everyone whos watching
Back in the '80s when every axe player was making a mean face, EVH was smiling and outplayin' them all. He was always the one I could relate to the most. Rest in peace, you unbelievable badass!
I always noticed that too... He just brought the party man. Missing that guy more and more each day.
That Eddie smile priceless
You're forgetting Randy Rhoads, he was always smilling aswell =) both guitar gods and the biggest influences
Love Randy Rhoades also one of the best guitar players
True, Eddie, had a beautiful smile, Always.
There will never be another Eddie Van Halen. RIP.
Thank goodness, running with de devil now.
Never!
NEVER .. Rest In Peace Eddie .. I love you!!❤💕❤💕❤💕❤
Very true. But there is some hope. His name is Wolfgang.
Not to start a quarrel Robert Ferguson by your comment , and not sure what you meant but he did accept Christ as his Lord and savior.
“He knew Christ died for his sins”-Alex VH
I saw his brother say it
4 guys on a stage, no dancers, no videos playing in the background, just 4 guys keeping us entertained
4 guys only and they made us ROCKKKKK!!!
They were the greatest rock band. .I met Eddie a long time ago, he was so nice.. Man I sure miss him..as everyone else does..
@@ratter531 They really were! Once in a lifetime guitarist and just a bunch of insanely talented musicians! Glad i saw them a few times!
Don't need all that extra crap when you are talented like they were. I miss real bands!
As it should be! It was very important to both Ed & Al that people hear them LIVE, exactly as they would be listening to their album. Pure music magic. They were the funnest Rock Band ever put together...regardless of era...& it's heartbreaking it's over.
Eddie was so cool that half the men aged 50-60 saw him marry their childhood celebrity crush yet still loved the guy! Aside from the obvious, 2020 took from us the best drummer and best guitarist of our generation and probably of all time. RIP Eddie and also Neil Peart.
💯
F you 2020.
Valerie was sure my teenage crush
This is true and very sad truth at that we just lost Bowie. We still got the music and a voice to remind people we were lucky to have them here and coexist. Like Eddie said I wish was around and living in Mozart time well we got that with Eddie and Niel, Tom, Bowie prince, Gordie Downie man we lost a lot of people recently. peace 'n' Respect brother.
And proceed to treat her like shit. Lovely.
Yep we lost the best guitarist Malcom Young.....
Van Halen is the only band I saw in my life that really have fun on stage, nothing scripted, just playing songs and improvising on their own way
There were many that enjoyed performing. Much better if it's fun.
Sammy rocked it.....what a band. Michael Anthony wicked bass with Eddie guitar going off with Alex banging away on the drums. Man I wish I can go back to 86. Thanks for the awesome music VH.
You may prefer the Roth era, but no one can deny that, musically, the Hagar era live performances were miles better
Sammy had a song called "20th Century Man" in which he sang the lyrics; "I don't care about 1985, cause if I ain't dead, you know I'll be half alive". (Google it)
This proves that you never know what the future holds...
I don't think it was "miles better". I think they are more in tune, and Hagar sings perfectly in key most of the time. The show is "technically" better. But in no way were the Van Hagar shows "better" : they totally lacked that sense of danger and unpredictability of the Roth era. They were not wild rock shows anymore, they were perfect by-the-numbers pop/rock shows for the whole family to enjoy. No cursing, no weirdness. And while Hagar is a perfectly fine singer and frontman (I dow own some of his solo stuff), he doesn't have the craziness of the greats and the legendary. His moves and attitude are pretty generic. He's a fine employee but definitely not an innovator in any way.
@@icidistorsion I meant musically/technically they're much better. I understand early VH was about so much more. Early Roth was great, especially the screams. He just got a bit annoying and got too big headed and also more interested in the persona than the music. 6 albums over 6 years with Roth was perfect. The Hagar fronted van halen from 85-96 was way better than what would have been had Roth stayed. I do prefer the original VH though!
@@briancunningham9037 Well, who really knows what would have been with him staying ? 1984 was astonishing. Skyscraper and EAAS by Roth are quite untouchable.. I actually love Roth's work in its entirety, he always did take some risks that were crazy. I guess VH was a way more oiled-machine after he left, focusing on not losing their audience and creating some hits, whereas Roth always was more of a wild card.
That said, I'm happy some "new" Roth stuff his coming up, as you may have noticed today : th-cam.com/video/zsdTQngjE5Y/w-d-xo.html
To me, he's like a big cousin, a way of life. Living life to the full. What fascinating character, despite his flaws and all !
@@icidistorsion I liked the two solo albums, but think this was to do with the great band he had (the one with Becker was quite weak unfortunately). But the van Hagar albums were much better imo. I love that there's two very different van halens.
I dunno, I just can't really listen to Roth now. Like he can't even sing songs like jump anymore, FFS it's the easiest song in the world to sing?
Im over 50...all I have to do to feel 18 again is listen to a Van Halen song...its the guitar...drums are cool...backing vocals are cool...singers (both ) are cool...but its the guitar that grabs you...
Great way of putting it my friend. Yes, there's something always joyful when you put on a VH record. They're a fun band and their music reflects this.
Was something magical!
Just all filled together
Ya Dave and Sammy were great but Van Halen was always Eddie and Alex.
I'm 49 myself in every time I hear this it takes me back to then. Smiling as wide as Eddie
Agreed Man.👍
My favorite song off of my favorite VH album. I've always admired how Alex wasn't afraid to use his cymbals as the instruments they are. Criminally underrated drummer.
Superb drummer, he did not get the attention he deserved because there was an allien in the band called Eddie
Do we have to say anything? No, no you don't. Edward's playing said it ALL for everyone. I never tire of this concert. I still have it on VHS!!!
Your cat there in yer avatar is danged cool. best regards!
I loved that dance the first time I saw it and Sammy still does it like no one else!else!!
I cannot be the only person who when they hear this gem on the radio gets the mental image of those three strutting in unison having a blast. God Rest your soul Eddie. Thank you for the music
Exactly what I think of every bloody time I hear it.😊
Every time! They looked like they're having a good time. @KaijuBiologist
Thank you Eddie, for all of it.
In my opinion, their best work was done with Sammy . Plus they looked like they were always having fun & a real band , together .
Yes! Always were having fun with Sammy...Fuck DLR.
Sammy was the best.
Sammy brought the band to life in a way that no one else could have.
Both the DLR and Sammy had strengths. But if forces to choose, I'll take the Sammy era because Sammy's vocal (and instrumental) abilities allowed Eddie to expand the VH sound as he envisioned.
Sammy blows DLR off the stage IMO....
Eddie was the guitar's Einstein, he revolutionised everything about rock and metal guitar playing. We already miss him and we will miss him even more in the future.
marco-you are a million % correct Eddie was GOD on the Guitar!! PERIOD.....In an interview about his sound...he said he ruined many great guitars and Amps to get his sound...that is why his guitar is called Frankenstein and he should be called Dr. Eddie Frankenstein Van Halen...
Michael Anthony's voice, daaamn. so unique. RIP EVH
This live version is 10X better than the studio version. Always turned it up when it aired on MTV.
5150 was over produced! Much better live....
ALL the songs from 5150 where saved by This Historic Moment!
Absolutely. I remember watching this on MTV in high school thinking it was so much better than the album version. Imagine a time when MTV would have the balls to release a live version of a single.
@Dave R. We are talking about the AOR production of Mick Jones...now it sounds awesome of course..but back in those years many fans where lost because of the stiff sound..and Live without a net saved that album..the sound of that concert was waaay beyond what we could not listen in 5150 but nowadays the album is great...of course Oh you ate one too is my fave of Van Hagar.
@Dave R. In my opinion, the live version is better as it has a lot more punch than the studio version. It just sounds flat on record. Some songs just happen to be that way, for example, Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me". The studio version is boring, but the live version is so much better. You never hear the studio version on the radio for that reason.
Eddie... The sweet boy next door...strumming like a beast... . LOVE watching him play!
He lived three lives worth on stage - I don’t think he had too many regrets,
I’m thankful for Eddie!!! What a gift to music!!!!
Eddie most definitely WAS Heaven on Earth...now he is playing with the Highest of Angels. 💜🎸 #RIPLegendEddieVanHalen
Heaven on earth, took off to heaven. Nuff said!
I never realized how much Van Halen was a part of my late teenage years and how much I listened to them when I was compiling a playlist for my phone. Rest in Peace Eddie. 2020 is THE WORST year ever except for 2013 when I lost my dad to cancer. 2020 started off by losing the greatest drummer, Neil Peart. Should've known this was going to be a crap year. CANCER SUCKS!!
Losing all of my musical heroes makes me scared that I'm really getting old, thank God for You Tube that we c as n still see them at their best
I lost one of my uncles to cancer in 2009 so yeah I agree CANCER DOES SUCKS. And RIP to my favorite guitarist and people of all time and also one of my favorite musicians of all time Eddie Van Halen.
buck up.
My hubs lost his dad and one of his sisters to cancer. I lost another sister in law to cancer in my family. It's a horrible disease and so bad that even the things that could possibly kill it before it kills you are unbelievably harsh on your body. I totally agree! CANCER SUCKS.
Yes, cancer socks. Been through it myself. Just keeping listening. Music got me through it .
I love how they play around with each other, their interactions on stage is a kick. Sammy is a very eccentric man on the stage, Eddie was a god of the guitar, and Mikey nailed the backing and their smiles showed us how much they loved playing. They all deserve the love they got
Hits you in the gut when the crowd chants Eddie Eddie Eddie.
RIP 😭
Omg yes. 😭
Fuck yeah it does.
Randy Rhoades. Eddie Van Halen. Gone too soon.
So true. I've seen VH 5 times, and at every show, at some point, the crowd ALWAYS starting chanting his name. :)
Some may say Eddie was on top in 78 or so but this concert he is 110% on. Live without a net.
That moment when you get the chills and the lump in your throat knowing that this is the end of Van Halen. 😭
Fear not, it’s not the end. Van Halen has literally thousands of recordings that will now be able to be released and you will hear things that both sound familiar and alien. Keep positive!
I was getting goosebumps hearing the crowd chant Eddie's name, sorely sorely missed....
Alex knows what's on the tapes.
The good thing is that in these modern times it's a lot easier to get collabs together wherever people are at and we see a lot of people like Steve Lukather and others who are becoming very accessible not only in their maturity but in that many people they know have passed and they really are broadly reaching out as much as they can, some more than others...but the latest results Ozzy has had with stem cells might herald a coming time when we really don't have to lose anyone any more. All eyes on Ozzy - I'm pretty serious about that. I don't want to lose anyone else this is ass and if we can stop it we kind of have a moral obligation as custodians of human experience and knowledge to make it happen.
I've read that Wolf and Alex are going to go through the library of unreleased music that is in the studio. I'm really hoping they come out with some kind of tribute album of previously unreleased material.
@@russellzauner So true about Ozzy.
In the last year, we have lost two of the greatest musicians in their field; First, Neil Peart, now Eddie. 2020 has been the shittiest year ever.
Eddie always had a smile on his face whenever he performed. HE really loved what he did and I was so glad to have seen Van Halen in concert 40 years ago.
I saw them on this tour and I agree. The guy always had an ear to ear grin while performing. Mind boggling when you think about it, playing night after night and not having a down night ever is just nuts.
van halen and van hagar, the best of both worlds!
They always put on the best show ever!! The energy and Eddies grin!
They were having so much fun. Rip King Edward
Hard to believe we're only going to be talking about him in past tense.
RIP Ed..
van hagar was a good era
There were some really brilliant songs in his era
@LF X I used to be a DLR purist but after watching these videos it’s clear the winner is Van Hagar. They were on top of the fuckin world in this era.
@LF X VH never had a #1 album until Sammy came along.
@@CrosscutFilmsSask That is not the measure of quality music. WIth that mentality, Backstreet Boys would be "better" than Van Halen or Led Zeppelin
the best era
"you don't make history by following the rules" EVH
You'll be forever missed Eddie 💔
The 80s were the best.hand down.🎸🎸🎸
RIP EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!
Greatest rock band ever assembled. No contest.
They to me also at this looked really happy
Amazing how little theatrics you need when the musicians are this talented. Rip Eddie.
As opposed to Kiss..agreed
Especially love it when they sit down together and don't miss a beat. This performance is pure serotonin. Dudes just having the best time performing together.
Yes. Brotherhood
Eddie was so humble.damn.added to his appeal.All bandmembers were amazing performers!
Amazing, a beautiful moment in rock and roll that we will never see again. RIP EVH. The tears are flowing down my face.
If this doesn’t get your blood flowing through your veins… then you might as well be dead. Fucking Amazing. RIP Eddie (I still can’t believe you’re gone), thankfully your music will live forever!
Peace and Love to EVERYONE watching this from Toronto, 🇨🇦
I love how the crowd is already going crazy when they start the stage march. but when michael Anthony jumps in, they go thru the roof! RIP EVH. Best guitarist ever.
Back before the internet and cell phones. Life was simpler.
I prefer those times. Miss them for sure
Heartbroken over losing Eddie, but I'm in love with this video because he looks like he is just having a fucking blast, that stunningly beautiful smile and his gorgeous guitar are breathtaking to watch. I love you, Eddie. 💙💙💙🎸🎸🎸🎸❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶
Had it together here for sure! Sad he went through shit later.
That smile one in a million. Always Smiling. RIP EDDIE 🙏♥️🙏♥️
Yep I alight now a Winston and drink 🍷 RIP fast Eddie
Miss him
As a guitarist, I never tried to be the lead guitarist. I have been both a rhythm guitarist & bass player in different bands, but Eddie holds his own on rhythm and lead. Mike Anthony just keeps it solid. These guys are a Rock & Roll band at its finest. Catchy tunes, consummate musicianship. A 3pc ensemble with a singer.
Robert, I play guitar as well...Like the hair bands of the 80s, like Kiss and some of the shows that were more about looks and music to me didnt matter.. it was more about the music. I can care less about the Bullshit antics like Roth and Kiss.. If was was that good as eddie and the guys in RUSH.. thats the music for me....but for Van Halen DLR days... I hated that crap that went on stage... when Sammy came aboard the band really changed for the better,...the music the sound no bullshit DLR Ass hanging out....that Gross...but heres to a moment of Silence for the Greatest Guitar player who ever lived....we will miss you eddie and thank you
I think Eddie's amazing rhythm is what puts him above everyone in that kind of style. The feel and "swing" he had, untouchable. A lot of the guys that came later talk about that, his feel was so amazing.
What always blows my mind about Eddie is that I try to play his songs, and I sweat it real hard, and can barely keep it together, make it sound 10% as good as he does when I'm at my very best. And there HE is, smiling, not looking at his guitar, walking around, running around, jumping around, making it look so easy. Eddie probably mastered guitar playing better than he did walking or holding a fork.
Rock on, Eddie
It's been weeks and I'm still struggling to come to terms with it. There will never be another guitarist like him but I feel so sad for Wolf and his family, he was obviously a loving dad from the personal photos Wolf posted and I just feel so bad for him/them for their loss.
He had a good life amazing life..wolf was in the band with his dad probably inherited his fortune..nothing too b sad about..everything went as it should..
He may not be physically with us, yet we were blessed with the time we had with Eddie. Unlike a "regular" family there's thousands of hours of recordings (both audio and video) where his family and extended family (meaning us fans) can visit with him anytime we want in our own special ways. The happy memories will eventually outweigh the sadness, it just sucks getting to that point. It has been a few months now and it's still hard to believe he's got going to available for a tour. I hope you're doing better, too. RIP Eddie.
@@michelericca6728 tears
How cute are the 3 of them in the little stage march
This has been a VH kinda night. I just can't stop listening to or looking at them. It's written all over EVH's face and in every move of his body how much he loves music. Sammy sure can get up can't he? LoL I love these guys.❤️❤️❤️ We miss you Eddie. You're always and forever in our hearts. Thanx for the music.
R.I.P. Eddie the innovator, the rock master! Thanks for many years of kickass music and entertainment, the rock music world will never be the same! See you on the other side......what a crappy year this year has been!
got teary watching this. i misd evh rip i was in my tqenties in the 80s and vh blew our minds this song i appreciate it. now as s guitar player finding my own path i get eddie to a degree. musicians always need to play. now im playing around with the guitar to see what it can do. im even writing muxic...
What a great show this was and what a great album. They played two nights in a row because the first show sold out in about 10m.
Millions of us are mourning in shock! So long Eddie!
They definitely had fun playing for the fans. An amazing band. Rest in peace Eddie.
Rest in peace Eddie Van Halen. Thank you for the music, good times, & the memories.
That Intro is badass Van Hagar is criminally underrated!
A one of a kind talent. I'll always remember the first album. RIP Mr. Edward L. Van Halen. You will be remembered.
Who else is on the Van Halen TH-cam Tour?
Dayum, where does all this talent go?
Sadly, it died. Rest in perfect peace, King Edward 💔
Wherever the new trend does not.
Love and adore you Eddie and your Band forever you will live in my heart Rest In Peace My King ....miss and love you
This is hard to watch and can’t help but cry while watching it.... Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen, the world is not the same without you.
I just wish I could have seen them in concert at least once. Rip Eddie😢😢
Me too
Me too EVH
One of the BEST rock songs, ever. DLR would be envious to have written this one.
Long live Mr. EVH. He'll never know how many people he touched with his guitar.
My goodness they sincerely look like their having a great time.ll what a traffic band.ll 👍👍👍
Saw them during this tour. Amazing!!
saw them in Toronto during this tour
Had the unbelievable luck to have seen VH in the Amazing 1980s!! with both DLR and the Great Sammy Hagar ! Those were the days! glad I lived them and wish I could bring them back for everyone!!
RIP Eddie...this video and others like it will be how you will always be remembered !!
Sammy's and Anthony's harmonies were a match made in heaven!!!!!
With Roth or Hagar I feel Anthony's backing harmonies never got the full respect they deserved!!!
Something so good! U just can’t sum up in words🤦🏾♂️Just thank GOD we had it RIP Eddie🤦🏾♂️
That beaming Eddie smirk. We're all gonna miss it. The great ones always make it look easy.
Everyone looks so happy here. Makes you tear up. Rest in peace Edward
RIP Eddie Van Halen amen September 15th 2021 thank God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 bless your essence amen 9-15-21
I won't forget you Eddie Van Halen, RIP. Michael Anthony's vocals are huge part of the VH sound. I saw this tour at the 86 Texas Jam @ the Cotton Bowl. HOT AS F**K that day, GREAT SHOW!
It's ridiculous how much fun they're having here. Eddie the GOAT. Michael Anthony got that harmony down too. Just a great video.
Thx for those days of my youth - good times - not always the best or perfect but I knew they were times to be cherished❣️
Thx for memories - Never will be forgotten,
R.I.P. Now you are in a better world
This was probably the greatest intro for a new singer in a band ever…Nobody was bigger then Van Halen that year
Why can't his be love was 69 or soon top 100 for the year. They were eclipsed by many other bands and artists nationally (I doubt they had much or an international presence) but they had a west coast niche, of that is little doubt.
Exactly! No one was bigger. And no one remembers the top 100. But they sure as hell remember VAN HALEN!
I've seen about 100 concerts and nobody ever sounded better than Van Halen live. Keep in mind this video is from 86. EVH is the GOAT.
Had this concert on VHS, recorded when it was aired on HBO, and I watched the shit out of it. I was in Middle School at the time, so as much as I loved it, I can appreciate it for what it is all there years later. Hadn’t seen it in about 20yrs, and watched it when Eddie passed away. It was a viewing party from guitar teacher Mike Palmisano’s yt channel. Kinda cool knowing you’re watching with all the other listeners. Anyway, I’d almost forgotten how good they were back then, and they were putting on a clinic for having the most fun imaginable for a rock concert. This tune, and the 5150 are some of my all time favorites, not just for VH. Sadly, I never saw them live, and it’s forever on my concert bucket list. At least I have this, and all the other great VH music left behind.
I will forever be grateful for having grown up in this era .....this was the best of times l!!!!
Boulder Colorado Baby!
That's when I saw That Tour....
What an Awesome Time.....
RIP Eddie......
Damn he was awesome. I got to see him three times. Once on this tour. It was like watching something that was just magic.
This is such the Perfect Line Up.
Eddie-The Perfect Guitarist
Alex-The Perfect Drummer
Michael-The Perfect Bassist
Sammy-The Perfect Vocals
Can't Beat All Aces
Won't be the same without ya eddie , you'll be missed . Rock on brother, see ya in the next life .. lov ya
I remember this concert in Atlanta,GA at what was once the omni.I had a good seat.It was great.I notice the I can't drive 55 t-shirt.I remember that video a little bit it's cool.I have laughed I have wept over Eddie being gone.We miss you Eddie.The music lives on in my mind.I can still hear him in my mind.I remember him most for his incredible smile.My heart goes out to you people
With brotherly love
Michael Mcvay
This video ROCKS !! Sammy brought a sound all of his own ! Absolutely amazing 👏 RIP E.V.
I remember getting a cassette of 5150 album. It was life altering, and still one of the best of it's kind. There hasn't been anything this good in ages.
Amen. Every song is incredible.
i'm 11 years old and i play guitar and he what made me play and all never forget you eddie rip you man you were amazing rip eddie van halen
The Van Halen walk!!! I go back and forth if this is the BEST VH song ever. The 🎸 and vocals 👌 🙌 especially the pint sized whiskey sippin bass player. RIP Eddie. Thanks from all the fans!!
Mikey sips whiskey?
Ok....maybe he doesn't sip....lol
I grew up living this music. Definitely one of the best albums ever made. Rest in peace Eddie
“I’m lovin it”!!!!! You can’t beat the strut......these WERE THE DAYS.......GREAT SHOWS.....ONE OF “Many” great Rockers....Rock Delivers!
I remember when DLR left. Everybody thought VH was done. Then, they announced Hagar joining them, and everybody said that it wouldn't work. It worked. This album came out my freshman year in college, and everybody said, "Wait a minute. It's actually not that bad. Actually, it's better than I thought it would be. Actually, it's pretty good. Actually, I love it!"
It’s awesome how Eddie is so happy every time he plays. What a legend.
Back when music was fun. RIP Eddie
I have always loved Van Halen. Saw them 2 times a took my girl friends kids with my sister and me.
Now as far as Sammy I loved him when he was playing with Montrose.Also I cannot believe the energy that that man had.
8:02. The greatest sound of rock n roll of our generation that could only be created by one person on the whole planet. RIP Eddie. You are the king!!
