I'm always proud to know I served in our country's military, and sometimes I forget how great we really are. A video like this reminds me how great my country really is and how proud I am of all my fellow active duty and veteran Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Coasties.
F-18 my husband favorite Navy and Marine Corps plane. They will be missed. My husband served in the U.S Marines and was able to see the Blue Angels a few times. Yes this song will always be apart of the Blue Angels. God Bless all that serve.
Absolutely Love this, Plus my Dad was a "Blue", he was with the Maintenace crew, he was in charge of making sure these planes stayed in the air & ran correctly. That was the late 50's- 60's. He still says That was the Best Time in his Life!! My brother & I were Blessed to see them perform & get together for reunions! So Proud of Him!!
Awesome. This is a very well done remake. I remember loving the original as a teen when it came out back in '86. Later, when I had little kids, I used to play the video for them on a regular basis and they would all dance around the living room. To this day my four adult children refer to this as "The Airplane Song."
Rad! My grandfather was in the Navy from WW2 through Korea. He was stationed near the Blue Angels base. My grandma said she had great memories of watching the Blue Angels practice back in like 1948. She couldn't remember what planes they flew back them.
@@johnkunz2244Corsairs? I do not know. My grandfather was a TBM Avenger pilot. My cousin’s husband flew for Blue Angels, but later than that time period.
First of all, thank you to ALL OF YOU who have served in the military for our country! Secondly, thank you to Van Halen for this great song! Lastly, thank you, Crazy John, for posting this! It's on my playlist now. ;)))))) Thank you, and please keep the great songs playing.
Best video of the Blues I've seen in a long time, if not ever. Especially with them in the Super Hornets. The slow motion and vapor add so much. Always loved the original but this is definitely an improvement. Navy vet here.
One thing I Forgot to Comment on was the Cinematography of this Video, Absolutely Brilliant Slow Motions & Live Speed Plus Head On Shots, Truly Superlative is all that I can say as it Show Cases the Skills of Such Teams to the Max...
I used to hear this song after sesame street as a toddler, it is still a legacy to my mind of the power we possess and what we can achieve if we but dream the dream we are born to live. Thank you Van Halen
Eagles Fly is what gets me going, the video featuring the F-15 and the ground/flight crews here on YT, reminds me of my time spent in the USAF crewing jets, an experience I am glad I did and do not regret.
Man I love this video!!! I watched the older ones with #VanHalen & #BlueAngels I love all the videos But it's a perfect song to show how in tuned the Pilots are I mean your looking at the TOP US NAVY PILOTS risking their lives at air shoes but most importantly for serving The Untied States of America and I thank you and all service men and women for that every day!!! God bless stay safe 🙏❤️
Thank You Thank You Thank You for this. I was stationed at Dam Neck Virginia and The Angels would be at Oceana Naval Air Station practicing so I got to see them all the time. My Favorite Band EVER with my U.S Navy Blue Angels...Perfection...
Nicely done! I grew up with the original and it will always have a place in my heart. There have been a few attempts to update this over the years but this one by far is the cream of the crop. Thanks for this!
This is the 1st song and video on my, "Faves" playlist. I've always loved this Van Halen song, and now this is my favorite video of The Navy's BLUE ANGELS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@crazyjohn4504 Absolutely. And thank you for bringing them both together. This should be a USN recruitment video. AT LEAST Top Gun (1986) level, this video
I got to have a photo op with Blue Angels Number 1 pilot Captain McWherter when I was 3. It was amazing. Even though it was years ago, I remember them blasting this music while the Blues were flying. This music goes so well with the badassery of the Blue Angels. God bless the US Navy.
I also live in Gulf Breeze, which is just across the bay from Pensacola and my favorite place to go in Pensacola is the Naval Aviation Museum on NAS Pensacola.
WOW best footage ive EVER seen, n ive seenem up close RetireD F-14 community 1995! GO NAVY! SALUTE BLUE ANGELS! FINEST MEN on planet flying those graceful machines!
Great video! This NEVER gets old! The promotions person that came up w/ the idea of using Dreams in the 50th Anniversary salute and subsequently making it the Blue Angels unofficial theme song was a stroke of absolute marketing genius! For anyone who hasn't seen the latest documentary on Amazon Prime it's well worth the time! Excellently produced and I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to see it in an IMAX theater. Still a treat on a HD / 4K tv though. Oddly enough they don't use this song in the movie? Not sure if it was b/c they couldn't get the rights or they just wanted to produce something completely new, but it's a great watch regardless!
I love Van Halen. I love awesome planes. I love the original music video with the Blue Angels but this is seriously next level stuff! Thankyou so much for a brilliant re-imagining of a song I love so much.
I remember the original so well! But this updated version is awesome! The Blue Angels are the absolute BEST and with the Van Halen song "Dreams" (one of my very favorite songs) you can't help but move! Makes me feel so patriotic and proud! Wow!
Wow! I loved the original one with the A- 4 scooters, but this is gorgeous! The slow motion, the high alpha vapor, the fly byes ! I loved it. Fly navy!
Saw the Blue Angels in Sanford FL this past April ...absolutely amazing show and so much pride welled up in me. The AF solo F-35 demo was pretty impressive as well.
What an awesome song to go with an equally awesome video!. I LOVE this song, (1 of my fav Van Halen), and having witnessed the stunning Blue Angels in person on multiple occasions...oh man..the goosebumps with this video! Great great job!!
The original Blue Angels video of Dreams was, by far, my favorite video growing up. I've seen remakes with more current aircraft, but they all seemed to be missing something intangible. They just didn't feel "right." That being said, this video is AWESOME! Watching it, I felt just like I did when I was a kid watching the original. Big ups and a huge Thank You to whoever created and edited this video. It was an absolute joy to watch!
You're very welcome. This clip feels right because it's an actual attempt at a music video as opposed to just laying down longform airshow footage over the song, which previous others have done. This song is an old favourite of mine and lives in my veins. The footage was sequenced purposely to match the feels.
Wow! That's an amazing video. The gorgeous footage, the masterful editing and perfectly fitting soundtrack came together to give me a beautiful glimpse of that most special envelope of aviation. Thank you sir!
My uncle lives in calf he use to designs flight patterns for the blue angels he’s retired now but those pilots are all over his house on the walls and signed but as much as he respects their ability they also put their life’s in his hands when they fly those shows,, but always liked looking at those pics and the admiration they had for eachother!!!! The jets are getting insane now,,.
people can try to talk sh!t about this all they want, but I have been a life long Van Halen fan. My father served in the NAVY. Having an updated version of this iconic song's video is an amazing thing and the cinematography from the iMax cameras is incredible. only now do we have the ability with the visuals to match what the original video gave people. I'd just hope the members of the band get to see this at some point. I think they'd love it.
Just as awesome as the video in 1986....doesnt get better than VH and The Blue Angels
It doesn't, does it?
@@Texman4268 a winning combination 👍🇺🇸
USAF VET here..if this doesn’t make you PATRIOTIC..then I’m afraid you’re dead!! Salute to all the services🫡
sadly, most are dead.
“All this for a flag?”, Michelle Obama.
Van Halen’s Dreams and The Blue Angels continue to be the perfect pairing.
Like H2 and O.
I was 19 when this song came. To this day, i can't listen to it without the imagery of The Blue Angels playing in my mind.
Ha, and now you have new imagery.
I was 15 time flies get it.
I'm always proud to know I served in our country's military, and sometimes I forget how great we really are. A video like this reminds me how great my country really is and how proud I am of all my fellow active duty and veteran Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Coasties.
Best footage I've ever seen of the Blue Angels. It has to have been done by the team who made the film for IMAX and Amazon.
Incredible.
It is directly from the IMAX film.
The skill and concentration to do this. I also remember the original Van Halen clip. Great memories.
Absolutely one of the best VH songs and this video did the original pure justice!
Brilliant.
YEW! Glad you enjoyed.
This is THE BEST video of the Blue Angels coupled with Van Halen’s “Dreams”. Thank you so much!
My pleasure.

This for you, Eddie Van Halen! Rest in peace, the legendary Van Halen.
Sammy made that song and made that band what it is
Soul Moving. Takes me back to Flight School in Pensacola in 1985.
YEW!!!
The Mighty Van Halen and the Indomitable Blue Angels. Name a more iconic combination...❤
This would be virtually impossible.
May this song live 4 ever through the Blue Angels! Stunning!
THANK YOU i am ONE proud Navy guy! Love my Blue Angels!

Did they use Course Airs? It wouldn't be Mustangs because that was Army / Air Force...Did they have jets in service in 1948?

It's incredible footage innit? It was my honour to work with it and put this together to VH.
We love our Blue Angels here in Pensacola. Setting this particular video to Van Halen was absolutely amazing!!
Outstanding pilots and the Dutch genius, perfection.
I used to hear this song after sesame street as a toddler, it is still a legacy to my mind of the power we possess and what we can achieve if we but dream the dream we are born to live.
Thank you Van Halen
Hands down best video ever....BEST DAMN PILOTS IN THE WORLD
Thank you! America needed this! Beautiful.
YEW!!!
So beautiful, brings tears to my eyes.
Van Halen and the Blue Angels. Could this video be anymore bad ass? How does this video only have 11K likes???
I loved the original video 40 years ago - and this is magnificent.
I felt hopeful when I saw these guys pass by over our house during the midst of the pandemic. It really made me feel great..
Eagles Fly is what gets me going, the video featuring the F-15 and the ground/flight crews here on YT, reminds me of my time spent in the USAF crewing jets, an experience I am glad I did and do not regret.
Wow, this was a spiritual experience. Thank you.
Spiritual. I like that.
The roar of the jet engines during the flybys add to the realism and greatness of this video!
YEW!!!!
Simply AMAZING flying, and I love the how they put some of the jet sounds over song, I love to sound of afterburners
This song is a classic and will live forever!!!!
A great "pump me up" song....
Now THAT'S a Blue Angels video set to the signature song! Made me want to re-enlist! Bad Ass. Well done.
Man I love this video!!! I watched the older ones with #VanHalen & #BlueAngels I love all the videos

Couldn't have said it better myself. It was a blast finding the right shots and placing them to fit the music. It turns one on.
Always makes me feel better. VH and the blues. 😎💪🏼💪🏼
Still my favorite Van Halen song.

Gotta absolutely love the blues
Oh yeah
Mr Van Hallen wrote one hell of a sone. He was a god of the guitar.
Awesome WOW my dad would love this if he was still here. He was 23 years in the Navy I'm Norfolk Virginia

I literally just got home from watching the Blue Angels and I was blasting this song while they were flying.
And why the heck not?
❤ Great video. But nothing will ever beat the first time I saw the OG video. Great stuff!!
Nobody forgets their first time 😀
It would be a crime if they didn’t make a video for these guys once in a while.
@@Viper31300 true.
I remember the original so well! But this updated version is awesome! The Blue Angels are the absolute BEST and with the Van Halen song "Dreams" (one of my very favorite songs) you can't help but move! Makes me feel so patriotic and proud! Wow!
True. Glad you enjoyed the upgrade.
Totally awesome to see the Blue Angels!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
