The day Eddie Van Halen passed away i was heart broken for day's like i lost my brother or something i wont ever forget him he inspired me to pick up a guitar one of the greatest guitarist we will ever come across in our life time will be missed and never forgotten r.i.p to the G.O.A.T 👊😎
Van Halen in their prime, hitting on all cylinders. The song sounds as great as it did on vinyl, possibly even better...Ed's guitar, DLR's voice...all crystal clear. M Anthony's bass thumpin' and harmonies clear as ever....and Alex's drums snappin' like a firecracker.
110% agreed! My Personal Favorite VH Tuna Of All Time. It Has EVERYTHING about The Band That Was Great & Then Some. How This Didn't Go # 1 Is Beyond Me 🤔👍
I'm so very grateful that my generation had grown up, enjoying the shows and jams to our beloved Van Halen. We were so lucky and it was the greatest of times.

That is awesome. On the Mean Street video (Italian TV) mike and Ed go opposite of DLR intentionally then they go syncopated. That’s the best stage stuff I’ve ever seen
It’s 2021 now, and to say that this performance was nearly 40 years ago (1981) is crazy and shocking. This song will never get old and will always feel legendary. Long live the mighty Van Halen. And to Eddie Van Halen Himself. Rock on in heaven GOAT. R.I.P. 🐐🔥🎸1955-2020
@@steveogee7458 my Brothers band "Autograph" toured with Van Halen in 1984, which helped thier first album go Gold before the tour was over. and hit song "Turn Up the Radio" later made Platinum
@Greased Lightning Mike was right where he was supposed to be, otherwise Ed would get lost.That being said, Daves band tore this band a new one musically.
@Greased Lightning And you're a bass player? Look, I always say if you can't do it yourself whether it's music or sports, you shouldn't criticize. Learn the craft and be YOUR best. Mike has a number of deals with companies who put out MA edition instruments. He must be that good.
He could wail ... you might not realize it , but a lot of times those surly high notes Roth hit were shadowed by Michael Anthony , bad ass band , Roth gave them flair & magic , Haggar was good , but the Original is always the Best !!
No one will ever touch that original four. Ever. My heart is 50% happy and 50% broken when I watch this. Oh, man, do I ever wish every American kid had the chance to fall in love with a band this insanely talented and entertaining. Great artists will come and go, but the original VH was a once-in-a-lifetime collection of talent.
So well said. I absolutely agree ..this was the genesis and iconic Van Halen...when this band fractured, it was the end. Yes ..VH going further more mainstream success with Sammy, but to the fans of those first 4 records? The new VH was a completely different type of band. DLR and Edward were the Lennon and McCartney of this genre of rock. Dave's personality literally spills off the records. His gritty dirty delivery, those brilliant ad libs.."one break ..coming uuuuuup'...genius. And EVH ..he just seemed more inspired working with Dave. I'm glad that DLR and Al and Ed ultimately did drift sweetly back together...and a friendship survived. To bad Micheal Anthony was somewhat...ok alot ostracized..but I totally understand EVH wanting to have his son on stage. I'm glad he didn't wait till he was older, because it may not have happened at all. Peace 🕊️🕊️
I was an intern for MTV, in the studio (Unitel Studios, where the VJs and Director of On-Air Talent worked out of), in 1987. No pay but the best perk was dubbing all the videos you wanted from MTV's vast archive. I remember recording this video (among many), still with time stamp, on a VHS tape and taking it back to college. Then I watched it with some friends and couldn't believe what I was seeing: the perfect Van Halen moment -- one that I hadn't seen live on MTV. They are fighting trim, ferocious and hungry, in perfect synchronicity. The power and the glory. So glad this is available on RUclips whenever I need a dose of adrenaline and dopamine.
I cannot name another band that had more energy onstage than these boys. And I've seen many, many *truly great* bands over the past 50 years. Viva Van Halen.
evh the king of guitars! seen them 3 times 79 80 81 in fla omg evh andthe band unreal wake um up in heaven every morning eddie in heaven with eruption 6am!!!
Yeah, the guitar playing on Fair Warning is just astounding, even by his standard. Love the dark vibe of the whole album too. Kinda futuristic and grimy at the same time, almost kind of Blade Runner
I was there but LA sports arena in 81 on Eddy Van Halen side the arena is gone and so is Ed but the fuckin best ever feeling in my life i will always be proud to say i saw our Hendrix of the 80s
1978, 1979, and 1980 were no doubt awesome Vah Halen tours. To me, the 1981 VH tour will always be their best. I thought they were at their peak. Simply an incredible band and collection of songs hitting on all cylinders at this point. Oh to go back for just one night to see this tour!
Aussie total VH obsessives like me,haven't been able to see these UNTIL NOW on RUclips,Australian TV/Radio programmers have NEVER had even the slightest clue,as to whats cool generation after generation-I'm 52 now it defies description how Radio is SO BAD-They ONLY play a bands "Hit Single" NOTHING else,and Triple j [ Edit 12-2020-Triple JJJ actually saved us all down here when I think about it properly] supposedly the hip station "Rock" is almost BANNED,the ONLY time they even slightly hinted at playing something Rock was the first few times they played A.I.C. "would?" Not any of Dirt's album tracks,just would? Van Halen absolutely without fail JUMP. NOTHING ELSE It makes me so frustrated and still I'm shocked,at this"No Album Tracks"ever! Still!
My first was the Diver Down tour when I was a Freshman- I wish I could have seen this tour because by Diver Down they had dropped a lot of the Fair Warning songs--Fair Warning is my absolute favorite VH album!
@@adamfox9245 dude, do I hear an echo? That is YOUR opinion. There is no "best" only perceptions of people with opinions as to what THEY think is best and those opinions are purely subjective. Some say Hendrix was the best, others say Clapton, others say Page or Gilmour or Beck. All awesome players! EVH is in the top 5 of most "best" rock guitarists polls that I have ever seen. There is no WRONG or RIGHT answer to who is the best only subjective opinions. We just happen to have different opinions. Peace.... out!
The double bass outro by Alex is insane. The drum is so rock n roll . There will never be another band like them ever. I'm so glad I got to see them play. This never gets old.
Van Halen at their PEAK @ BEST !!! Loved this album best of all !!! They were absolutely the biggest band in the world here PERIOD !!!! Glad we got these videos to remember The Mighty Van Halen!!!!
Tom Miller You should listen to How The West Was Won or Royal Albert Hall. Plant at his peak could sing like no one I have ever heard. VH is awesome...but they were always more Eddie than the others.
Yes it was!! I was fortunate to be at this show back then and they were so fucking awesome!! On the ride on BART going home everybody was raving on how great the show was! They should at least release the soundboard recording of the show since they claim to have only filmed 3 songs….😮
Look at that 1981 audience, dam I miss that time. Rolling Stones just put out "Tattoo You", I was 19!! Now I am 59 and love the music of my generation. I saw Blondie in "82",she was a smoke show!!! She is 76 now..geez! Still pretty. Like the Stones sang" Time waits for NO one"...so if your young be drug free and enjoy your life.... The older you get, the older YOU get. This generation missed the amazing 70's and INCREDIBLE 80's. 😃👍
Man I remember being 8 years old tryna play this song perfectly on my guitar. While other kids my age were playing outside, I was inside playing this intro over and over again... I can’t listen to this anymore without tearing up! RIP to my idol 😔🙏
May 12 1981 Halifax 1st time the Band played this live Halifax Nova Scotia Canada Metro Centre grade 10 memories miss you Edward ...seen this vdeo September 1990 for the 1st time Much Music
They remind me of what was fun in the 80's. Going to a party with VH playing in the background. This is a moment in time that will never be replaced, I don't think there's been a rock band nearly as good. Fair Warning was my first VH record and I must've played it 1000 times. Way under rated by the critics, I think the whole band sounded amazing! I'm getting the remastered on cd.
35 yrs they have been my favorite band, I moved here from Iran in 1983, I was poked in the eye by American hard rock music and Van Halen became my idols! Long live the mighty Van Halen
David Lee Roth is a perfect example of it doesn't take a perfect voice to be successful.. unless we're talking about his incredible screams that sound like a cat just had it's tail ran over by a rocking chair lol Groove and soul and charisma is all Dave needed to prove his point.. not to mention what a colorful personality he was, one of the greatest frontman of all time, Diamond Dave!
God damn that snare is PEAK!
Van Halen 78/84 pure gold.........
THEY OWNED IT….
That intro is just so hauntingly beautiful.
Eddie at his most melodic, like Eric Clapton Badge live melodic!
Especially now!
Man, is it ever.
Fair Warning was a dark album --- but deliciously dark
the lights of ''VH'' while eddie plays the intro its just legendery
When Van Halen ruled the world!
When DLR could actually sing live
This is the show I would go back in time to see
I got to see them on this tour, it was awesome of course. 👍

Definitely a top-10 all-time..best song on Fair Warning imo adding similar to "In A Simple Rhyme"
Everything is "underrated."
Not to me..this and simple rhyme are my favorites.
One of the best stage moves of all time, when they all hop forward towards the front of the stage...
That is awesome. On the Mean Street video (Italian TV) mike and Ed go opposite of DLR intentionally then they go syncopated. That’s the best stage stuff I’ve ever seen
Copied by many a hair band that would follow. Often imitated, but never duplicated! Van Halen was unstoppable in this era. 🤘🏻
Not a big fan really of that shit, but that was pretty Cool......... Cause it was them. 😜

Try watching PRIEST in their prime..
Yes,
IT WAS GREAT
Old Van Halen is something to behold. Nothing will ever come close.
Raw in your face kick you in the balls, rocken roll beer drinking, pussy eating party music lol
I was there. 15 /20 feet from the stage on Ed's side with my brother Bon😊
Van Halen at their absolute best!
One of the best ever VAN HALEN songs
If I had a time machine it would be set to go back to this show
there's definitely a lightning in a bottle phenomenon happening here. wow
yeah, forget about killing Hitler. I wanna see this live
Me too our luck we would end up at a wham concert by miscalculated dials on our machine 😖
