RIP king edward. You were the soundtrack to my wild miss spent youth.
Wow, what a great memory, Craig! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Really cool.
This was 1977 and this was space alien shit... mind blowing. Nothing like it at all.
You’re so right about that!
EVH …..cementing his legacy for generations to come.
💯
I still find it hard to accept that he's not with us anymore , at least we have his amazing music to listen to still RIP Eddie you are missed by everyone
Agreed....and holy shit this sounds amazing! Reminds me of being 11 when this came out....it was my generations Jimi Hendrix 'Star Spangeled Banner' moment. I just got teared up. Well done Mark Kirby!
Ya, we lost Neil Peart and EVH this year. Mindboggling. 2020 sucks
Same here. Dude's been a fixture in my life since 1984.
i feel the same way!!! I asked myself back in '92....what would the world be like without eddie van halen...?
Playing '80's music in the '70's. Way ahead of his time.😎
The first two VH records were released in the 70s.
Actually the 80's were playing 1970's Eddie Van Halen music.
@@DavidBentley23 So you think the first 2 Van Halen Albums sounded like it was from the '70's? I thought it sounded ahead of its time, more like '80's music
@@daves4645 no shit
@@Swayzeo I'm saying bands in the 80's were trying to sound like Van Halen's 70's sound.
Can anyone deny he wasn’t the greatest guitarist of ALL time, he’s 22 here and the instrument is completely and utterly mastered , at 22 , not 45
Great point! Thanks for watching and commenting.
We need to remember this awesome song played in 1977 holy shit
This is better than the album version, holy crap is right.
The way he beat the shit out of that old Fender 6-point tremolo is nothing short of amazing! That took enormous skill to control that, players are spoiled these days!R.I.P King Edward! We will eternally love the gift you gave us, the countless hours of fun that I have had chasing your tone,PRICELESS😊!
Well said.
pro trick: watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Emmitt Keaton Yea, I've been using Flixzone} for years myself =)
Oh yeah like voyure said, that DOA riff! This man could shred but understood musicality and the power of primitive , knuckle dragging riffs unlike all the wannabes that followed. One of a kind. One of a kind. No one is filling those shoes.
No one! The absolute greatest, ever!
Fucking G.O.A.T.
That 6 seconds of DOA is sublime.
Maybe I should do another video that continues on to DOA?
Hearing this as a peer guitar player you would have shit your pants and quit.
This completely set the precedent for all rock and metal guitar soloing! Historical! Innovative! Masterful!
I agree! Thanks for watching!!
Still blows my mind how he kept that damn guitar in tune.
Me too!
It was a mess, but when bar was pushed up it beyond 440 It retuned. I had a cheap strat that did the same.
How he figured out the process for it still amazes me. He figured out how many winds each string needed, which direction the winds needed to go, the brass nut with the wider slots, how many turns on the screws in the trem itself, turning the ball end of the string with each turn...he really was a mad genius. His mind was always going and totally consumed with his guitar.
@@e.l.nortonyou nailed it.
@@e.l.nortonMost of that doesn't matter. The things that really matter are having the proper tension in springs allowing bar to return to pitch, the nut not catching the strings, and loosening bridge screws. Also proper 90 degree angle on both sides of tuning peg before winding.
Even when he's 'shredding' it's melodic and emotive as hell!!
I love how you can hear so much wood !
I know! You really can.
Can U imagine seeing this guy in 77...It would have bin minded blowing....
When I heard this stuff back in the day my head fell off. I can't find the words to tell you what the effect was on us. We never heard anything to prepare us for Edward. Mind blowing...............
I was taking lessons at a music school . Had best teacher could figure out anything . Nobody knew how to do eruption tap part . All the teachers were talking about it . I said. It a ibm computer Eddie plugged into , they laughed. Then Van Halen hit .Eddie turned his back to crowd for that part on his first tour . I had obstructed view behind amps for 2$ he faced amp played the. Tap part . I saw it perfectly. Went back to music school . I said know what he is doing. “ not the ibm computer “ I said he poking the guitar. Nobody knew about tapping. No name yet. Till I showed my teacher. First time I was able to show him a part. He instantly knew all. Notes wrote out solo . Greatest day in music school
Oh shit! I almost forgot to listen to this today. R.I.P King Edward
Glad you did. Every time I hear it I’m still amazed.
@@MarkKirbyMusic Same here. This early VH stuff that's been coming out is just so great.
Yep had this off a bootleg called, 'Die Laughing' that was going around, early '80's. Was cranked through my Sony Walkman..daily
Nice! I also rocked the Sony Walkman. 🎧
Eruption is a mere footnote compared to Ed's total body if work as a guitar player and songwriter. Rest in Peace.
I was 14 when eruption came out nobody ever ever something like that like that in 77
The outro with DOA riff...Roth "This is it!"...rock power!!!
Every guitar that has ever been played after February 10, 1978 has Eddies DNA guitar style all over their fretboard
Incredible to think seeing Ed doing this back in 77 in front of your eyes!!
OH MY GOD 1977? THAT POOR STRAT 😝 THE KING EDWARD!!!
This show was just a few weeks after he recorded the actual Eruption that wound up on the first album.
Remember hearing this back in 82 or 83. It was part of a live set my local radio station broadcasted. If I remember correctly, Eddie did a Christmas song during this set
Ed was a beast! He was my biggest guitar hero. His passing was soul crushing.i never got to meet him, but his death still affects me. RIP, Ed.
He was a beast. I actually did get to meet him and you’ll be happy to hear, he was really nice! I was so nervous 😬
All things considered ... this is one of the all-time great solos.
No other piece of guitar music has ever or will ever influence like Eruption.
I agree with that!
He was the template for the majority of guitarists of the 80s. He wrote the book on that approach
Those Plexis become something else when cranked. Smooth, Percussive, Beastlike...I need one
Wow...what a talent..so young and ripping throughbthe barriers already. Very inspirational hearing this.. RIP Eddie..the pride of Nijmegen. A selfrespecting city like Nijmegen should name a street after this dude for sure
Eddie's eruption change the whole face of rock and roll. And it's now he IS A LEGEND!!!!!! RIP EDDIE☝👍🎸😙
This is why Jimmy Page and Edward Van Halen were the progenitors in the 70s of EVERYTHING that followed them both in the 80s. All those Guys from the hair bands were tryin to be one or the other.
Nobody could play like the king like Eddie.
I've loved this man since I was 8 years old when Van Halen the album was released. I have Ed tattooed on my arm and his love of guitar imprinted on my soul.
Wow awesome. His picking is like a machine gun. Thanks for sharing. Rock in peace Eddie!
When you listen to this, then recall what was in regular rotation on the radio in ‘77.........Unreal
So true. Check this out- “You Light Up My Life” from Debby Boon was the number 1 song in October of 1977!
Exactly. Case in point. 180 degrees the other way.
OMG , That was unreal , I miss him already .....
Me too.
It's pretty much the same arrangement as the one on the first album, but extended some as Eddie always did, but I've argued with people telling me that when Eddie did it on the album that it was just bits and pieces of other noodling Eddie did, well this proves them wrong right here, because Eddie did have structure to eruption before the album and here's the proof.R.I.P King Edward.
Not necessarily. He may have already laid the tracks down for the record before this live recording. The first album debuted months after this.
DLR said it was comped, which is what was usually done. Not that it couldn't be done though with Eddie...
I cant accept this loss. We miss the Maestro! Thank you for the lessons and the music. Why copy him you cant..... lead yourself like Eddie!!!
I've had (this) concert recording on cassette, copied from a "press-on" bootleg record,way back in 1982. Its always cool to find a copy floating around!
Wow, it would be cool on vinyl! Mine is originally from a traded cassette years ago.
@@MarkKirbyMusic I think he meant a "press only" cassette bootleg
@@jleisner1974 ohhhhhh that makes more sense haha
Randy Rhoads, saw Eddie play this guide solo in one of the shows Randy was blowing away!
Very interesting. It's cool, virtuoso instrumentals like this was composed in the 70's when most where in the 80 (like 'Always with You, Always with Me' and 'Cliffs of Dover'.)
God bless, Rev. 21:4
Great photos!
They are really amazing photos, of course I didn’t take them (Ross Halfin did), but I did make the video with the custom letterbox. Cheers
killer tone....he once said he wanted to "hear his fingerprint on the fretboard"
Wow what a gem to listen to!! I’ve been a Van Halen fan since the Diver Down album. Eddie is the reason why I learned to play the guitar. He was my hero. How can all that talent be lost like this? It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around. He was taken from us way too early. There will never be another Eddie Van Halen. This really sucks. I’m still mourning his loss 3 months later. The best guitarist that’s ever lived in my book. RIP King Edward. You are greatly missed but will never be forgotten.
I am also still bummed about it. He was an amazing player, and my guitar hero as well. I actually met him once, I haven't really told the whole story online yet. They say not to meet your heroes, because you could be disappointed, but he didn't let me down. It was a wonderful moment I will never forget. Just thought I would share that with you.
Who the fuck gives this a thumbs down ? That’s just hilarious. Because it’s absurd to not like this. Of LOVE this.
I agree, fellow Mark! I am going to assume it was a BOT, I'll feel better about it then...
I was blessed to have seen this unknown band at the time to me at the Pasadena Civic but remember it well , it was a turning point for me and the guitar
That’s so cool! Did you see this exact show?
@@MarkKirbyMusic it was a battle of the bands and my guitar teacher was Karl Sandoval an his band Smokehouse was playing and the last band of the night was VH and eddie had this huge bomb casing stacked with his effects, blew me away , but I don’t know if it was that particular night , 77-78 ? Not sure
@@MrXcrt Wow, I would have loved to have seen that in person! Do you mean Karl Sandoval, the same guy that built Randy Rhoads Polka Dot Flying V?!
@@MarkKirbyMusic Yup , he was the brother in law to a high school buddy and recommended I get some lessons, Karl made me a black strat with this silvertone (dan Electro) neck shaved flat ! Best guitar I owned , I saw the V Karl made and ended up bumping into RR & Kevin Dubrow on my way out of his apt ! My little piece of history, perfect timing for a young kid .
@@MarkKirbyMusic Besides learning the basics for guitar , I worked for Karl Sandoval’s guitar shop for a short time , but hung out because i had nothing else to do and it was in walking distance from my house , I watched him build guitars and learned a few things along the way. I copied his style of approaching things meticulously and have applied that in later years , built a few guitars( nothing close to the master ) and still communicate with the guy ! Good dude
The crazy thing was this was a solo obviously, but was really a warm up for him, yes this fucking solo was a warm up lol.Ted only put this on the record due to hearing him warm up in the studio, if not it might have not be done.
AWESOME LOVE THE RAW OLD STUFF BEFORE THE PRODUCERS GET THEIR HANDS ON IT,GOOD SHIT
Totally!
Edward Van Halen🌹🌹🌹 This orgasmic. RIP to the KING❤️
From the tangible presence of a contemporary musician to the history of a legend. This life is just too fucking short.
I remember buying the first album because the photos of the band on it looked extremely confident. I couldn't understand what I heard at home and thought, oh man, a delay or some kind of effect. Then I recorded the record on tape and our school technician played the tape in the school's smoking room during the long break (there was something like that back then). And I expected the other students to tick off, but they sat at their tables at a loss and a few girls complained that the music was too loud ... well, it wasn't, it was too heavy. That was too far ahead for that time.
I never saw a show with Van Halen, the only chance was in the 90ties as a support act for Springsteen in Bremen. But I was out with my band and I missed it. But Eddie was always with me as a virtual person reality. I've played in numerous bands since 1989, but never used tapping and shredding because I had the feeling that something like that can't be copied. And that doesn't work either and doesn't work for anyone like him. Dear Eddie, I miss you forever, part of the world is broken off and gone.
Oh man, thank you for writing this. Your heartfelt sentiments have touched me, and I’m sure others who will read it as well. I feel extremely lucky to have seen Van Halen multiple times, including once at the whiskey from about 5 feet away from Eddie, and towards the end I kind of took it for granted. I had the chance to see the last show he ever played and I was just kind of was lazy about it. Now of course I regret it, especially hearing stories like yours where you never got to see him play at all. Anyways, thank you for your comment, and you’re right about life being too short.
The fuckin GOAT
Agreed.
That dude was pretty good.
I'd buy a record
Awesome!
Amazing he was one of a kind
🤓LITTLE ROUGH & CHOPPY......BUT SO WAS I AT THAT AGE....IN A WAY.....❤RIP.....EVH❤🇺🇲👍
This should have been the "original" recording rather than the refined version.! This captures the fury and fire of his playing..🤘🤘🤘🤘
Agreed, probably my favourite aspect of Eddies playing was how ferocious he was in the early years. You really don’t hear this in the more melodic and simplified version of Eruption on the album. Luckily it still stands out on plenty of songs like, I’m the One and Bottoms Up!
I bought this concert on cassette in 95 at a tag sale. Holy shit. The guy introduced them as "vanhalemen"
Chills…❤ THE KING! 👑
Imagine coming home from this and looking in the mirror only to discover your face has melted.
😆
HOLY SHIT!
I just picture the crowd like back to the future Marty Mc fly solo.Just stood mouths open WTVF just happened 🤯🤯🤯🤯.
I like that.
😂😂😂😂
Go 2 the 4, nice! 😀
I wish we could see footage of the crowds reaction from back then!!!
The same as mine at 10 years old when I first heard it...mouth wide open in shock saying what was that??? Then quitting sports and mowing lawns for a guitar lol
@@AtomicGarden68 It's so nice to hear you say that. I'm 36 and have been a Van Halen fan since i was a teen. It's silly to compare because his music will transcend time but i wish i could have been you to witness it haha!
And a big thanks to you Mark Kirby for helping to keep Eddie immortal ;)
@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE yep it was crazy an older guy told me to come check this out...he had a big giant stereo what was called a quadrophonic stereo which is just four giant speakers and he had them in each side of his room and cranked it up really loud... And my jaw just dropped I didn't know what it was I had never heard anything like that before... I had been listening to led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and everything like that already but this was just out of this world... And I was done with sports and bought a hollow body guitar at a yard sale after mowing a bunch of lawns.. and I'm still playing to this day writing my own music... So I guess you could put it as the same thing as the Young people from when they first heard Jimi Hendrix.....good times I was in a band probably within a year it was great
If I'm not mistaken.. this was 2 days before eruption was recorded!!
Beastly!!!!!
happy. someone said, eddie looked happy when he played, as did others, les paul for instance.
i thought, ya, thats it. you can do more when you are happy. when angry you cant do alot unless its breaking shit and that does no one any good.
being an angry player creates stuff like metallica, fill every note and chord with emotion and you’ll be gold
@@BigFatCaulk exactly! let me rephrase that, playing annoyed when everything should be cool, but hell ya, anger is a great motivator. in fact, i think i recorded one of the coolest things i ever did when i was fuming about some shit life was throwing at me at the time.
@@leechild4655 the only time music is good is when it has a story and there was emotion behind the riffs or the sounds or whatever is creating the beat, happiness anger sadness etc are all what make music great
@@BigFatCaulk exactly why i can like any style of music when i see or hear the artist is putting everything they have at it hell be damned.
Amazing❤
I love that tape echo usage at the end
Me too! So cool.
IN-SANE. Miss you Edward.
...great classic pics too ⚡️
The Master-EVH!
Rock history!!
Totally! Thanks for watching.
AWesome!!
INCREDIBLE!!
(In amongst all the accolades below about Eddie's incredible playing), I will add that this was a particular time in history that VH were just a VERY low-paid Supporting Act. They blew Headliners like Boston, Journey, Black Sabbath and Aerosmith off the stage. It seems most of these Headliners took a bow to what was rising up. Eddie Van Halen was a completely new uncontrollable force that had to be listened to.
We desperately miss him...
Yes! I like your choices. Cool stuff
maestro
❤
It's amazing he could do all this on a fixed bridge and the guitar still wouldn't go out of tune
💯
I think you meant to say he did all this on a standard, non-locking Fender vibrato system. Anybody can play stuff like this on a fixed bridge instrument and stay in tune.
My mom and my wife can't play stuff like this, in time or out of tune. I've been playing guitar for decades but can't play stuff like this. Wish I could
Saw them twice in 1978 and 1979
Wish I'd seen him then, I was thirteen in 1977
Rest in Peace Rock Star ...
I walked through a back door at the Pasadena Civic a few years ago. Almost had the cops called on me! I'll tell that story on my Van Halen RUclips show sometime.
I would love to hear it!
He was so aggressive back then 😀
He attacked that guitar!
Amazing..!
I had the great pleasure of seeing this performed live back in 1995, and this rendition surpassed that. Given that 95 version in my view eclipsed the Live Without A Net rendition by some margin, and that we were still in 77 - this obviously was earth-shattering.
All those present that night were in the same company as those who witnessed the 66 Hendrix on British shores. In that, a quantum step forward in technical prowess has been achieved. If he was a boxer and you had shortly to step into the ring against him, you would have our collective sympathy. For you're under the cosh and you know it!
I N S A N E
Sounds easy to learn to me 😆 😆
Amazing! Rip Ed
the Richie Blackmore influence IS real
Has the main ingredients. Still neede the polishing that it got a few years later. But awesome to hear. I remember living like there was no day after tomorrow. :/
Didn’t VH come out in 1979, though? This version is better than the studio, but glad they fit it in! RIP, time flys when you’re having fun.
Vh1 album came out February, 1978.
this is totally shredding but nothing beats the impact of hearing that original studio recording for the first time
@@jamesha175 That's true, I will never forget my first time hearing it!
To the people amazed at the guitar being in tune - it wasn't in tune. Eddie can play a guitar that is out of tune and make it in tune by biting down the strings that are flat extra hard to make them go sharp. I can't find the video, it's on RUclips somewhere, but a forum posts alludes to this: _"Lonnie over at HRI had said the way Eddie used to fret chords he would bend the strings out of tune so when he set up Eds guitars he would have to offset the strings. Its funny cause he said every time he would hit a chord it would be out but when Ed played it was fine."_ *TLDR:* So basically, EVH's fretting hand is so technical that each finger was a realtime robot tuner.
I have read that, that’s really interesting!
Actually Eddie used a Peterson strobe tuner and had specific offset tunings that he used. The process that Lonnie described is how Eddie arrived at the tunings. To learn more about the tuning offsets that Eddie used on the albums and in live performance, check out my forum post covering the topic:www.vhlinks.com/vbforums/threads/62695-Van-Halen-tunings-with-Peterson-strobe-tuner-reference
@@AllenGarberGuitarFun Wow that’s amazing! Thanks for posting the link.
@@MarkKirbyMusic I’ve done a lot of research on the tunings obviously. If you are interested in more on “Eruption” specifically, check out my new transcription of the piece in the February 2021 issue of Guitar World. Here is a PDF of the magazine that has an accompanying article, but my transcription begins on page 82: drive.google.com/file/d/1IZ8SmwiHgBqKJ9o3WcDLOP-kUcqhaWD2/view?usp=sharing
awesome Mark .. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Freddy!
killer recording
who else hears this for like maybe the billionth time and im still just as mind blown as the first
Do Eddie obviously warmed up with eruption before he ever was in a recording studio, so this was a thing he did all the time and not just some warm up fluke that Ted templeman said hey why don't we put this warm up on the first album, which he did but it was already worked out somewhat way before the first album in 78.
