The quality is outstanding for 1986.👍
360 came out it 1991
@@rustyramsey7845 I guess my sarcasm got lost somewhere between when the 5150 tour happened, and when this video was actually shot.
@@rustyramsey7845@rustyramsey7845 EVH started playing the 316 ditty in a few of the solos on the 1984 tour, extensively on the 5150, Monsters, and OU812 tours, and finally recorded it in 1991.
Just when I thought I had seen all the great footage of this genius, I come across this. There is and cannot be any argument he was the greatest......RIP EVH and thank you for sharing your gifts with the world......
Never,ever forget the mighty Michael Schenker as well and who's not dead yet...But i also love EVH,he's the king!
I’ve never seen this one either......killer!
Yes the greatest , Gone but never forgotten EVH has a place in my heart ..
Wish I was half that talented. The man is a legend.
What you said, everything you said.
Stll can't believe this genius is not with us anymore.
You think you’re in shock the Marlboro company had to file bankruptcy!
He’s been gone for two years and I still can’t believe the legend is gone. I still envision him working in the studio making new music for all of us to enjoy.. it’s only a matter of time before Wolfie and Alex go through the un released tapes and remaster them to release some of them for the Van Halen family..
Always with us.
I was there the day before this show. It was awesome. Eddie ruled. He was the best of all time.
Correction, he IS the best of all time
What year was it? Not 1986...
@@stevebennen4182 this was end of 1986. He cut his hair at the end of the tour
I agree with you, Phil -- Eddie was the best.
Right on, Caden. He is an immortal now.
That biting tone is completely unforgiving to mistakes and he just... smh.
Absolute master.
Fantastic! His tone during the Kramer years were the best!
i'll always have a soft spot for that kramer....
There was more than just one . When Kramer Guitars were still made in America , Eddie visited their factory to make a bunch of 5150 Kramers for I think was the 1984 tour .
He looks stoned as a mofo!!!
@@akfreed6949 I bought the new Kramer Baretta for $179. Best 'cheap guitar ever. It stayed in tune and the maple neck was easy to play. The humbucker sounded like it had a battery for it. I love the 5150 amps. Loud as shit. He put out a lot of equipment and it was amazing.
Eddie is the gold standard.
The greatest in my humble opinion . The world lost a genius.
Was at this concert on this night. Experienced the densely packed crowd and just feet away from MA for the most part, trying my best to stay upright and not get crushed. The only disappointment for me at all was seeing Eddie come out with his hair cut. Even Sammy made a comment about it at the start of the show. Despite that, one of the most awesome shows I experienced.
I was there, I've been telling anyone who would listen about this moment for years. Now, I can show my kids the exact moment when Eddie sat in the edge of the stage and played.
I think as time goes on Ed’s legend will only grow…he had some very special gifts that set him apart…killer tone, virtuoso chops, and stellar songwriting.
And humble as Fu&k
it sucks that we as humans can't love our heroes until after they die. Yes, Eddie was well loved, but i distinctly remember hearing everyone bitch and moan about how mean he was to everyone and how he was obnoxious and arrogant and all that bickering u know the story. Now that he's passed, he's our generation's Mozart. He always was a musical genius but too many people just kept criticizing him and now that he's passed that all suddenly stopped.
There are two guitarists who, for me, don't seem to play guitar as much as strap on the instrument as a conduit for something to come through them. Edward and Stevie Ray. There was something happening when these guys played, especially live, and they both knew it and were humble about it. The pure joy in Eddie's playing is something no other player has ever had. At times he even seems surprised and as awed as the audience is at what comes out. We were so damn lucky.
I've said the same. Eddie and stevie ray had alot of the exact same energy. They both had a rawness about their playing. Their souls were layed bare with the guitar being the channel it came out thru. Both had a feel that could not be duplicated by the many that tried and tried to copy them
Even his guitar can blow smoke rings.
Haha cool
This is like a Back to the Future moment where Ed meets a young Beethoven playing a guitar at the town square talent show and says “mind if i give it a try?”
After the house lights were turned back on as we were walking out of the Cow Palace that evening, everyone erupted in the loudest spontaneous roar as we looked around at each other!! We all knew we had seen something the likes of which we may never see again.
It was a total affirmation that we had all been at the right place... at the right time that night.
My favorite tone Eddie had was in his 5150 years… great video too.. how these people were so lucky to see VH in their prime…
Exactly.
I'd take that strat over anything else he played any day of the week and 6 ways to Sunday..
Exactly
Live tone yes. Studio tone was over chorused/harmonized.
@@TheDmonetYeah. He did overdo the Eventide for that album, though I DO think the combination of that unit and the Steinberger was a superb combination on a couple of tracks.
i agree along with his tone during the Balance album is my favorite
I think for me what really gets me is the things he was able to do. He was way ahead ahead of his time. I mean when you listen to any Van Halen album really you can help but think how did he come up with this? When I listen to all the iso tracks form the early Van Halen days I get goosebumps because I’m an awe of his playing. It’s so perfect, and I can’t thank him enough for giving evening the greatest music we ever had the privilege to listen to.
Agree - Except for the Diver Down album which was a Roth temper tantrum "must do" cover songs effort -
Even though the album sucked, Eddie made it the BEST it could possibly be -
@@sswulffable Sucked? Diver Down is a freaking terrific album, my favorite from the DLR period.
The greatest of all time... gone too soon. I teared just watching this. Man... it still hurts.
This is one his best solos
I saw Van Halen at the Cow Palace in 1984 and in 1986. They played three nights in 1986 so I'm not sure if this is the night I was there, but I'm grateful I saw this. In 1986 I actually went with my guitar instructor. My guitar instructor was so well-known and so good that he played in the Steve Miller Band...so it was interesting to watch him with his mouth wide open most of the show as he watched the great one.
I was there the 1st night! I sneaked in a camera that night and was right where he sat down playing his solo . I also was there in 1984 !
Besides being the best ever, Eddie made every amazing thing look so easy and fun. I especially love the 0:18 mark and then going into Fur Elise. Good grief I’ll never get over the loss of Eddie. 😢 Love you brother Eddie, R.I.P. 🙏🎸
I was there but this video IS THERE. OMG. Thank you for this whoever you are. Miss you, Eddie.
Oh my God never seen this. Just more proof who the KING is. Thank you Eddie for sharing your God-given gift with us.
The problem with most guitar players isn't that they set goals to high. It's that they set goals to low and they reach them. Eddie never set a goal. He just played.
Holy Hell!
I was at that show
Thank you for this
I'm never gonna be 16 again, but this takes me back 🤘✌♥️🙏
God this is scary. Pure guitar power and glory
it's great how his solos varried in every concert and over the years. Just how he was feeling on any given night.
There was something about the 5150 strat. Probably my favorite sounding guitar he used.
The pickup in that thing was really round and brown. Pretty sure he was DI on that tour, too. It was way too consistent and round. This sounds just like Live Without a Net.
@@davidhurley5032 Yes the harmonizer and all those effects added a little touch to his tone. But that guitar just sounds killer, when he turns the volume down it almost sounds like a tele or your basic Stratocaster . cranked up that things just a solid beast
@@chriscollesano8463 I’ve always thought that, as well. It just doesn’t sound like a typical, bridge humbucker. Maybe even wired parallel but with a 250k pot to take the edge off? Tough to say but you’re right, it’s more quacky than the typical midrange, strident bump.
There were many more than just ONE 5150 . He spent a whole day at the Kramer factory making 5150s for the 1984 tour .
@@akfreed6949 the one he used specifically on the Live Without a Net vid is mainly what we’re referring to.
Legend, thank you for everything you gave to this world, RIP EVH
Frickin' love EVH. What an innovator and natural talent.
I always loved the part of eruption when the tapping kind of descends. Just so hard to believe he’s been gone for 9 months
A guitar god in his realm! The one and only EVH! Miss ya Ed!
The man. TONE!
Oh wow, a rendition of Fur Elise it sounds like. That’s definitely new! I’ve seen a lot of EVH footage in my years, and I’ve never heard that before!
he plays it in the montreal 86 bootleg and in some b roll footage from a mtv documentary, both have been on the net for years. This is the first time we actually got decent vid of how the live without a net solo was supposed to be for the most part, that was edited a bit
@@knightfall9394 true! I’ve heard recordings of him doing Fur Elise but this is the first video I’ve seen! Amazing! Beautiful!
Dam I was 14 in 86 . This show was awesome .This brings back great memories. Thank you. Ed was the best in my book. This is gold.
THE BEST EVER! Thank you Eddie! RIP
I am dying of Stage 4 cancer . At times I feel as though Eddie is with me . Keep Playing ,Just keep playing ..
I’m sorry to hear that. I think if Eddie was still alive and knew that his music was inspiring you during your illness, he would say that it was all worthwhile… even if he had never made any money or sold as many records.
I wish you love, peace and hope.
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok He was genuine ..He was the most joyful guitarist I ever heard . He truly Played .. Thank you for that kind comment .. Even comments like this inspire me further
@@rick3747 Thank You
Oh my!!! So sad to hear. “For God so loved the world (human population. You personally) that he gave his only begotten son (Jesus, to die on a cross in our place to pay the penalty of our sin), that whosoever (you and me) BELIEVETH in him (trust in, rely upon, put faith in) should not perish (die and be judged for your sin in Hell forever) but HAVE everlasting life ( right now!!))
When I saw this was from the Cow Palace, I pulled out my old ticket stubs and still have the stub from that night...He may be gone but his influence will live forever
It was a privilege to witness this legend and a horror for me to watch him smoke himself into a very early grave. Big lesson to us all. Our lives are a gift and we need to take care of ourselves
Für elise gave me chills! Rip KING Edward!
At the 3:11 to 5:00 mark in video, this has extreme significance. Listen to that segment a few times then listen at the 6:00 mark in the video. While listening to this solo part, keep the 3:11 to 5:00 mark in video imagined in your mind while he's playing the solo part. That 3:11 to 5:00 mark in the video is the blueprint to his playing. The blues is his foundation. He's laying it out there, I guess to see if anybody would notice. I did. Total genius. The whole band too!
The God of guitar. RIP EVH, you're missed by so many, but your music lives on.
This is a combination with improvisation of: "Hot for Teacher, Mean Street, Beethoven's 5th, 316, Spanish Fly, and Eruption... First solo I've seen him do without Cathedral.. Still Mourning you my friend. 😢⚡🎸
Hot for teacher at the start
@@yourlocalryan Rutt Roo. Missed one.😊⚡🎸
This was only a portion of solo segment. He always played cathedral in all tours.
@@anc5150 Thank you. He always played Eruption and Cathedral as part of his Signature Solo Medley's.
Fur Elise, not Beethoven's 5th
Awesome video He was so talented and you can just see how much he loved playing and sharing that with all of us. He will be missed by all of us but never forgotten .
Guitar god of the guitar gods!! The most gifted muscician!! Edward Van Halen!!
It doesn't matter how many times i see a video of his EPIC guitar solos, it still blows my mind. Missing EVH! R.I.P brother!!! Man, what a rock band.jamming in heaven:
Eddie Van Halen, Dusty Hill, Charlie Watts and Ronnie VanZant!
I thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart. I stood right under him during the solo at the Cow Palace. A memory now I can cherish forever!!!!!!!!! RIP EDDIE💔🎸😚👏👍☄
Ed took his inspiration from feel, that much is so obvious. Rest in the comfort that you rasied a fine son who is also a fine musician. His retrospective video dedicated to your memory is nothing short of heart breaking. It shows a side of you Ed that few if any of us knew existed. You brought so much more to the world than just music you literally changed the world with your music.
Evh "I'm gonna light this, hold my beer" There is eddie.....then there is everyone else!
GEEZ. Ed is CRAZY awesome. Wow.
I was there ❤
Same here Karen. Was in Navy at the time stationed in Concord. Few us got tickets from a ticket outlet took the BART. Partied our asses off and watched the great Van Halen. Awesome times. 🤘😎
I was there. From Ft. Ord. They set a guy on fire in the parking lot that was dressed like DLR and carrying a sheet that said Roth rules ! Thankfully they only burned his sheet ! 🤪🔥🤘 LIVE EVERY SECOND !!!
My ex-wife was 8 months pregnant with my first daughter. She was born Jan 2nd 1987 and loves the 5150 album.
I saw Iron Maiden at Long Beach arena on I believe Wednesday, January 17 at Long Beach Arena.
Your daughter was just 2 weeks old.
Time sure does fly.
Genius. Just pure genius...
The Motzart of electric guitar!!!
Mozart never hammered stupid random wanky shit on the piano
I was at this show. I miss Ed so damn much.
I was at this show, it was amazing, I will never forget that night.
.... and that, Ladies & Gentleman, is why he is KING EDWARD! Miss You, Great One. 🎼🙏♥️
I love how he throws Minuet in A in there!! Learned that on the Keys as a kid!!
The dude was pure rock and roll! Legend!
That's nice when in the solo he put something different.. blues, classic or whatever he wants.
One condition : to be sober and happy.
Rip King
Amen
Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing! Happy Birthday in Heaven to Eddie Van Halen!!!Thank you so much Eddie Van Halen!!!
He is " running with the devil" now !
U dont get it ????
CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH!!!!!!! KING EDWARD! YOU ARE LOVED BEYOND BELIEF SIR! GODBLESS~
The king of the 6 strings always and forever.... long live King Edward! 🙏🤘👊 RIP to the greatest that ever walked the earth.
Wow ! I too thought I had seen some great footage of Eddie, but this has to be up there with the best. Thank you for sharing this.
Eddie van Halen,.......thank you for your talent and music!!!!R.i.p. Eddie.
Glad that some more people are getting to see my footage. Thanks for spreading it around (and giving me credit as well)
Here are a bunch of unseen photos from that tour:
ruclips.net/video/KVSoIxrAbdk/видео.html
Thank you for this amazing footage! I updated the title in an effort to draw more fans to your page and hope that's ok. I also really like the recent "a little peak behind the curtain ...." video. You were right there and are a part of history, thank you!
I was luck to be there - for sure
He was one of a kind like Jimi. They are the best in different Eras. Every now and then the Heavens open up a deliver these types of Players. They were here for a reason and that is the Power of Music...and of coarse to show us a new way to play GUITAR...RIP it was awesome having you Guys in my Youth.
The King does what he wants. And always smiles while doing it
The best Tone ever
wow this was a good one -not easy to find him just jamming -and blues at that
He was really blasted here.......but still managed to play great. It became a different story down the road. Eddie's legend can never be questioned, but even so the booze & drugs cost him a lotta good years after Hagar left. That stretch between '98 and '08 especially just ruined him.
He looks so gone. Sad
Serious addiction will do that to a person. He was sadly introduced to it all by his "also functioning alcoholic" father at the age of 12, to help reduce his anxiety & stage fears. Ed's shyness & serious anxiety is rarely spoken about, which is a tragedy in itself. It's what kept him drinking long past when it was time to hang it up, then the physical addiction took over in those last 8 yrs & sadly, took him to very dark places. Also rarely spoken about is the fact that he finally conquered his demons, got sober & stayed sober for the last 12 years of his life. I see his sobriety as one of his greatest achievements. His magic is painfully missed. Gone way, way, way too soon. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Your comment made me cry .....
In the 80s, he could get hammered and still play amazingly. It didn’t catch up with him until 2004. But he rebounded in 2007 and went out on a high note.
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok You don't know what the hell you're talking about. He was already shriveling away when they fired Hagar in '96 and the crappy VH3 in '98 was the product of him completely going off the rails. He allowed that idiot Ray Daniels to mismanage his band by hiring Cherone and totally changed his guitar tone. He was a basket case all the way from '96 until about 2010 or so. Remember, they had to cancel 2007 tour dates to try and get him clean also.
I never had the honor of having EVH perform Eruption like 6 feet from me. That's pretty damn cool.
ok THIS IS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN HIM PLAY....AND IM A HUGE VAN HALEN FAN
Dude, you might be right. I’m an Ed head and thought I saw it all, but this is different from his usual solo stuff. Awesome
@@GeorgeZimmermen so very different and so freaking expressive!!!
That’s so good it’s almost stupid. No one can touch him.
Really wonderful footage. Don't remember hearing Beethoven guitar pieces before. Know he had a classical music background from his Dad on the piano but wow!
And then I stumbled upon this today.....ugh 😢 I was lucky enough to see this tour in Worcester, MA June 1986
Seen him four x with all the lead singers. With the exception of one show, EVH was great
*Eddie*VanHalen* 🎶💪🎶#GuitarGOD ✨ *Period* !!!
THE KING OF KINGS!!!!
Breath taking phenomenal,! no one will ever duplicate his beauty with any quitar! 💕💕
Thanks for sharing this version. Thank you. RIP ED
As a guitar player myself, we all try to reach the point to where we want our heart and soul to flow through us onto the guitar. We never reach it. Eddie lived it every night. Just amazing. He was just built different.
Most beautiful cover ever played by the guitar god of all guitar gods
How did I miss this show? I was in California till 88.
Damn - the guy was just UNREAL. RIP Edward Van Halen
During the blues jam you can really get a sense of how fn good Mikey is.
It’s crazy that many don’t understand how great Eddie was at playing piano. He was incredible, with very deep Classical influence mixed with his bluesy pop sensibility. Eddie had such a knack for writing great songs. He changed the way rock guitar was played, but his great songwriting took him to another level that very few have achieved. R.I.P. Eddie 🙏 You will forever be missed.
Why do some of these (insert your own word here) pay money to see a concert and in my humble opinion the greatest guitar player ever, and talk and carry on and seemingly not pay attention. I can't wrap my head around that.
The man was ...precocious, audacious,.. 👏 🙀 amazing.
The master 🎸🤘🤘 long live the King 🤘👑 I saw this tour 🤘🤘 the the forum Inglewood California
THIS IS GOLD.!
Geezuss! this made me Cry! ..Eddie,you taught this Eddie alot! RIP mah Brutha!
The first half of this video defined Eddie Van Halen versus the rest - just riffing and having fun. He went from one of his solos to classical to blues to shredding through Eruption in a matter of minutes and made it all sound like it was meant to be together. This is one of the few times I’ve ever seen him go “off script” and it was pretty awesome. Yes, many people can “play” parts of Eddie’s music, but nobody was able to follow him because they didn’t know where he was going next.
Unbelievable.....
This was a great tour. I caught them in Indianapolis that year with BTO opening.
Yup me too in Vancouver
GENIUS.
This is so fuckin amazing
From afar 2:45. RIP King Edward!!
IM SOOOOOOOOO LOVING THIS !!!! THANK YOU 🙏 😇
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing - awesome video dude...
