It was like witnessing the ultimate rock guitarist when he took the stage. Of all the greats weve lost... he was a King among the greats. Miss you EVH.
Van Halen was my very first concert. I was a 15 year old kid who saw them on the 1982 Diver Down tour. They opened with Romeo Delight and I haven't been the same since. RIP Edward. You are sorely missed.
VH was my band as a kid. From Dave to Sammy I loved them all. They would play 3 or 4 at Worcester and I would go to all their shows. Every new album they would tour. They were a GREAT BAND. Alex and Michael never got the credit they deserved. Alex was as skilled and active above most drumming of that generation and even now. Michael's bass was unheralded. He set a great rhythm. And his vocals are off the chart. And Eddie has to be mentioned with the greatest ever. And he could sing also. RIP Eddie. Ty for the memories The world 🌎 is a lesser place without you in it to rock us. Love ❤ ya
Alex is debatably as talented of a musician Eddie was. Drummers weren't "featured" musicians in guitar rock. If VH had been "prog" rock instead, Alex would easily rival Neil Peart or Danny Carrey. Alex deserves a spot on the Mt Rushmore of rock drummers.
Every now and then someone or something comes along in your life that shines brighter than anything previously. Edward Van Halen was like that in so many people’s lives , mine included. A fantastic guitarist and innovator , and when clean and sober a genuine nice guy. He battled some Demons in his life and just after it seemed he had beaten them & won , he is suddenly gone ….. like a candle burning bright suddenly snuffed out by the wind. Thanks for the life long memories Van Halen .👍. R.I.P. 😢
One of the best Guitarist ever !!! It’s one thing to be a great guitar player but to have an Original uniquely distinguished sound you always know who’s playing on the first note and that speaks volumes!! EVH is truly an Icon and will be remembered for his incredible artistry sound tone feel approach and execution he set the bar for greatness in writing playing and performance RIP EVH
Eddie changed the direction of my music, plain and simple. When I heard eruption at 16 years of age I did not know it was a guitar.. and I had already played guitar for at least 6 years. I promptly set out to learn it note for note.. ended up performing it at every show as a spotlight paying homage to who I still believe was the best guitarist ever to Grace a stage. I love this, my only negative is that I wish Dave would have taken the time to review his album performances before going out half cocked sounding like he was winging it. Nevertheless, a great show I'm sure and I miss Eddie Van Halen like a long lost brother. Rest in peace Edward Van Halen! You shined brighter than anyone and here or gone, you will always be in a class of your own.
I saw them in concert in Cincinnati right before the Who incident and at the same place. We got trapped up against the wall and couldn't get out. It was right before they opened the doors. It was scary not being able to move and smashed up in the middle of a crowd by a concrete wall. My friends new jacket got tore up. But the concert was awesome~!
There is no one to replace Eddie Van Halen, to even suggest that could even be possible is ludicrous, preposterous and just damn impossible. No one can replace anyone, and people should stop trying too. I play guitar, very well, so I am told. Yes I can play any Van Halen song, but I prefer to play them, if I do, the way I play, my own style. That's the way guitarists appreciate the affection they have and honor someone as Great as Eddie, by playing their Riffs, that way. Make sense? Keep on Rockin'. That's what he would want you to do. Love ya all! 🤘
A 32 year span from here back to the US festival in 83' where they made big bucks by the minute for that gig.Wish I could of been there for that one.All those years went by and all the great albums an recordings I still remember when black and blue came out.What a jam an Finish what ya started and a bunch of others with the red rocker. Life is so fast and unfair he's gone now.I shed some tears when I got home the day I heard he passed.The day before was my last day I had any alcohol it really scared me.I never thought of how it would be or imagined losing Eddie it's hard to believe. I remember reading about him asking his father how he got past being nervous while performing and his dad told him or showed him cigarettes and alcohol.I'd of never thought Eddie would have stagefrieght. I too was nervous myself and needed a few shots to loosen me up to play live. 2 years sobriety since his fateful day in 2020 My condolences Valerie Alex and Wolfie and ofcourse Michael Sammy and DLR God bless you EVH Love you man
Man what a loss...... Eddie was not only the best player, but the coolest ,just plain normal guy. I am 53 and grew up with his music. I will miss the hell out of him, but still glad I lived at the same time as him.
I feel fortunate to have seen them on their last tour (2015). Great show. My fav band of all time. Dave, Sammy, even Gary, didn’t matter cause EVH was the heart and soul of the band.
Greatest of all time and I always have followed him being a guitar player for over 30yrs now myself. To the man that left great music behind for all of us to listen to and always enjoy RIp we all love and miss you dearly.🤘and you will never be forgotten.
After hearing eruption on the radio I think about 1978 i was like who the fuck is this,fell in love with VH ever since then saw them open for Black Sabbath in new haven CT. They took the house down and get this I still have my ticket stub 7.50 that’s seven dollars and fifty cents to see Van Halen and Black Sabbath,thanks Eddie for the great music and memories ❤
I saw VH open for Black Sabbath at Madison square garden. I'm pretty sure ticket prices were probably the same. They were obviously drunk but better than B.S. who were awful. B.S. played only an hour and had one encore, which was just unheard of back then. Usually the major bands would play for 2 hours or more and have multiple encores. You can tell they were tired and not really putting out their best game.
I saw them here in Atlanta back in 1978 open for Black Sabbath also the Ramones was the first band but Van Halen stole that show for sure. Black Sabbath was kind of at the end of their journey with Ozzy about that time and I remember about 2/3 of the way through the Black Sabbath show ,people started leaving during Black Sabbath’s performance that night . It was black sabbath show in Atlanta Georgia that night but that night definitely belonged to Van Halen. I remember they opened up with on fire and towards the end if I remember right during the encore they played a song that was going to be released from their second album he DLR said ,and I think it was bottoms up? I was so lucky to be around then as a 13 year-old kid to witness that and then I went on to see them the very next year when they had their first headline tour after Van Halen II was released in the Fox Theatre here in Atlanta and I was on the 13th row and it was awesome. The energy and power they brought to the scene then was fresh and new nothing else like it at that time great memories❤️
I saw Sabbath and Van Halen on Thanksgiving night, 1978 in Houston Texas. I was a fan of both bands, but man, Van Halen just demolished Sabbath who had nothing left in the tank at that point. Sabbath went into this long and boring blues jam in the middle of the set and it was such a downer. Great memories though.
Honestly there should be a Friday every year That is a rock holiday that celebrates Eddie and the greats .His spot on the top will remain as the G.O.A.T.
DLR does pretty well, considering the years, and years, and years of living at a high rate of speed. I would like to see anyone his age try to keep up. Loved VH with him, and loved VH with Sammy.
I knew back in 1978 if they were still together by then those high notes were gone. Of course I said the same thing about Steelheart. yet their singer hits them dead on in his 60's. But that is extremely rare. Robert Plant did not even attempt the high notes when he got older
@@christinberg1902 Sammy is best as Sammy all his band collabs paled to his solo work and sorry Dave maybe flawed but he will always be Vanhalens sound to me Sammy made them fucking pop and for that I will never forgive him
Eddie was the best. This was the very first song I ever saw performed live in concert. The 1980 invasion. Van Halen opened the show with this tune. Very loud and an amazing show. Much different than this. They were all over the stage.
Sucks he is gone so young, and that we got to see him so infrequently, and undoubtedly, only the tip of the real iceberg. He was looking and sounding and playing so healthy and great. And it still took him down. RIP ELVH 🎸
@@DCB728 I never excluded anyone else. 65 is young for anyone's life to end, when it is entirely possible to live until 85 or 95. Why do some people have to argue about everything. Take a chill pill.
The first time I saw Van Halen was when they backed Black Sabbath but I arrived late and didn't really get to hear much. They were unknown at the time. A year later I saw them headline a small theater in Oklahoma City while I was in the Air Force. The theater seated 1200 and from the moment the curtains opened until they finally left the stage, my mouth was wide open with awe! They were something I never heard before! This was 1979 and disco was just ending. Thank God for Van Halen and the other amazing rock & roll bands during that time who outlasted the disco fad.
@@9983sp It’s a shame that things with MA went the way they did, but playing with his son may have extended his life. You never know. Wolfie May join up with MA and his Uncle. He definitely has the chops to do his dad justice, and his father would be proud, and was proud.
The day we lost Eddie, I was living in a ghost town (Chloride, Az.) and I put a 200 watt speaker on my front porch and blasted ERUPTION as loud as my stereo allowed all the while in complete tears…😭 R.I.P. Eddie .
Be grateful you lived during this time. In 60 years you will be able to tell your grandkids "Yeah, I saw those old classic rock bands. They were exactly as awesome as you think they were. Even better in person."
I will miss Eddie Van Halen. I was in 6th grade the first time I was running with the devil. This rock star was different. Rock n Roll Eddie Van Halen style !!!
I grew up with Van Halen and I used to think they had good songs and bad songs but, after listening to top 40 radio I come to realize everything Van Halen did was fantastic.
@@kimsullivan5576 that's the downfall of voice text. I said with Van Halen and anybody with common sense would have understood that. What do you do for entertainment? You just troll the internet for grammar mistakes? That's pretty pathetic. But whatever brings you happiness
When the Original four hit the big time releasing there debut and opening up for Black Sabbath , that’s when I first saw them , I said to myself then. “Zeppelin and Van Halen” it’s gotta happen… Would of been interesting and a killer night of music!
Just 2 short months after the last performance by Rush across town at The Forum. Eddie and Neil, you are missed badly. 2 giants of their chosen instruments.
My dutch Broh's Edward and Alex Van Halen ,just are the best in there jobs ! Edward R.I.P. YOU are the Best guitar God. In this and the next World, and Alex wouw you are a Badass to you both are daimonds from Amsterdam And for Mr.Wolfgang Van Halen i thank God for youre dad ,shine on Wolf be proud. Of de Van Halen name, Holland love the Van Halens. We hope to see Wolfs pact overhere dont forget us, Van Halen the Best!!! David lee ROTH you where Van Halen's best vocalist you badasd Rock God !!! Please Rock on Dave !!!
DLR is done! Vocal quality on a scale of 1-10 is a generous 5. It will be the same with Anselmo on the upcoming Pantera Tour. But hey, the music is good.
That's 50,000 worth of power head amps and 100,000worth of Speakers and or it might be the other way around so to say anyway bless VanHalen and Eddie R.I.P. you are so Loved by all the FANS and dearly missed 🎸🙏🙌😇
Great instrumentalist, not just guitarist. Could be difficult to get along with on a one-on-one basis according to people who knew him well. But that did kind of humanize him in way. Everyone has their foibles, including one of the greatest of all time.
After seeing how good Wolfgang played his Dad's tunes at Taylor Hawkins' tribute concert, it's a crying shame he and his Dad didn't jam onstage with guitars or complement each other like Downing and Tipton...
Eddie in his prime. Well his whole career he was in his prime. They sound great here. Dave still looks and acts like a goofball circus performer. Would have loved to see them with Sammy one more time.
So lucky to see Van Halen in July 1981 at Madison Square Garden NYC. Opening band was The Fools, Then Van Halen came out with Dave jumping off Alex's drum platform holding a bottle of Jack Daniel's lol
World Tour,World Vacation, Invasion,Fair Warning,Hide Your Sheep, 78,79,80,81,82, were Amazing shows. in 84,Dave started being NOT So Good Live. And didn't waste my time on the Reunion without a vocal Savior which was M.A.
@@rocketmaan thank you Rocket man for send me a hart.youre the best!!! Jesus love you!!! It realy sucks that the Edward Van Halen is not on this world anymore,now it feels empty inside, for more than 40. Years the band Vam Halen was just arround and that was just as it was ,I realy never know that it is such a unplesant time it left behind the end of a. Greate band and what can fill that spot i am getting old and heroes came and go....strange times and the new are not what we had that sucks
I cant help but say Phil, i just cant put anyone ahead of him, he was an earthshaking guitarist. It was like witnessing the ultimate rock guitarist when he took the stage. His sound and technique was brilliant.

Funny how you didn’t mention Dave.🤣 if he would at least try it might sound ok. But he doesn’t and sounds awful live.
I would argue it’s the best he’s ever played. He was so much better sober!
He will be missed!
GOAT!
I was 6th row in front of Eddie. 600 dollar ticket. Eddie was on fire. I could see him grab a vape pen off the drum riser. RIP EVH
Nah saw them in the 80s wasted as hell and playing on fire
@@rhaastaa That is because you were both wasted...lol
Being sober does not make you any better,and I’d argue having a litter bit of a buzz makes you better

Their best opening song, IMO.
After seeing how good Wolfgang played his Dad's tunes at Taylor Hawkins' tribute concert, it's a crying shame he and his Dad didn't jam onstage with guitars or complement each other like Downing and Tipton...
The break in the song was very important you remember motely crew's kick start my heart had a similar break in it
HE WAS SPECIAL.RIP EVH.
Eddie in his prime. Well his whole career he was in his prime. They sound great here. Dave still looks and acts like a goofball circus performer. Would have loved to see them with Sammy one more time.
🤟🏼Fkin' AWESOME MAN!!! 2024
👍🇺🇲❤FANTASTIC !!!!!!....ED RIP XO....
Miss you Edward
Eddie VH GOAT!!!
By all accounts Eddie was a great guy RIP
They sound tight as a band, Dave as usual Mailing it in but somehow getting the job done. Rip the king
Check out Alex van Halens Double-double bass drums...I've never seen that before,by anyone
There a cool vid on youtube about the history of Alex's drums
Modern Drummer did an entire issue on AVH a couple years ago that covered that extensively.
So lucky to see Van Halen in July 1981 at Madison Square Garden NYC. Opening band was The Fools, Then Van Halen came out with Dave jumping off Alex's drum platform holding a bottle of Jack Daniel's lol
World Tour,World Vacation, Invasion,Fair Warning,Hide Your Sheep, 78,79,80,81,82, were Amazing shows. in 84,Dave started being NOT So Good Live. And didn't waste my time on the Reunion without a vocal Savior which was M.A.
💜💥💫
Eddie was iconic on guitar. So this was the last time Alex & Eddie played together I suppose.
For a paying audience, yes
Live...yes.
@@rocketmaan thank you Rocket man for send me a hart.youre the best!!! Jesus love you!!! It realy sucks that the Edward Van Halen is not on this world anymore,now it feels empty inside, for more than 40. Years the band Vam Halen was just arround and that was just as it was ,I realy never know that it is such a unplesant time it left behind the end of a. Greate band and what can fill that spot i am getting old and heroes came and go....strange times and the new are not what we had that sucks
I cant help but say Phil, i just cant put anyone ahead of him, he was an earthshaking guitarist. It was like witnessing the ultimate rock guitarist when he took the stage. His sound and technique was brilliant.
nice to see Dave
Dave sounded okay on this one!
