I love how he just casually weaves in a few bars of Bach's Tocata en Fugue into this smorgasbord of awesomeness at about the 5 min mark. An unbelievable talent, innovator, and entertainer. The world sure misses you Eddie!
Eruption was a warm up Eddy would do before a concert, then in 1978 it ended up on their debut album, we had never heard a guitar do these things prior to V.H. Eddy perfected these styles out of necessity and has changed the sound and way a guitar is played for ever... I think its great that you younger guys are into this older music. This was all done without distortion pedals and electronics, and for that reason - what was heard on an album was also what you heard in concert, not many players could do that. What was truly awesome about it all is Eddy genuinely enjoyed playing it and continued to build and modify guitars and amps until he passed in Oct 2020 - RIP to a legend...
Absolutely true! I’m a 53 year old mom/grandma. I’ve never been a huge fan of VH music but I saw them three times back in the 80’s..twice with DL Roth and once with Hagar, and saw Eddie do this twice..it and their whole shows were just fantastic!
You have just seen the genius that was Eddie Van Halen. He is, was and will always be THE GUITAR GOD!!! You need to listen to more of their music library through the years.
Eddie is the Goat. He was so inventive, his rymth and timing was uncanny. He could make the guitar sound like anything but a guitar. Unbelievable. RIP Eddie. We miss you.
Great reaction!!! You should look into his history and interviews. He came to America as a kid. Couldn't speak English. His dad was a big band jazz player. Ho learned classical piano and drums. His brother was the drum player in the band. And he never learned to read music
Van Halen has two different iterations. The first was from 1978 to 1984. Lead vocalist for that era was David Lee Roth. Great performer, good singer, added a ton of personality to the band. After that they got a new singer named Sammy Hagar. Sometimes they are called Van Hagar during that time period. I would say, start off with Van Halen. The entire band are a powerhouse. You can check out Van Hagar after you get to know some of the older stuff. You literally can’t go wrong with anything off the first at least…4, maybe 5 albums. The first two are gems. Banger after banger. If you want to see the showmanship tho, probably official video for Hot for Teacher and/or Panama are a good starting point.
Parts where it sounds like he's playing a violin or a cello is amazing. He had classical training as a kid. But he is the G.O.A.T. Mad respect for Jimmy and Stevie but you just watched the greatest Rock and Roll guitar player that's ever lived. Period! RIP Eddie ❤
Hey guys, the legend says, this solo or at least parts of it, was Eddies warm up before the show until somebody told him like "Man, you GOTTA do this on stage!" And the rest is history. RIP King Edward! And if you like crazy guitar solos, check out Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe" 😉
This is what greatness is all about my friends!! Eddie was the best like Michael Jordan,.You looked at ur friend, like what is this..I'm 50 and Eddie was a legend to us..Thankyou
You literally read my mind Michael! I was mind blown and surprised I never checked out Van Halen before! It was an incredible first time experience! You’re welcome Mike! We’re glad you enjoyed the video with us! 😊
Eddie Van Halen, passed away Last year I think....There are many songs from Van Halen to check out. Also, he was one of the True Great guitarists...Of all time!!
That guitar solo in "Flying Turkey Trot" by REO Speedwagon is indeed legendary! Gary Richrath's skill and passion really shine through in that performance, making it a standout moment in rock history. Thanks for highlighting such an iconic solo! 🎸🎶
A genius and his amp. The tone, the delay and timing.....if he's a tad off the feedback would snowball it into a car-crash in numerous places. AND all the while it's still rooted in the Blues while flirting with the classical. It's what all the great flashy, some faster, pretenders could never quite emulate.
Appreciate the effort you guys put in. If you guys like intricate guitar work, you will almost certainly like Lindsey Buckingham's, (from Fleetwood Mac), version of *Big Love* from the Saban Theatre. And you would also almost certainly like Steve Vai doing *Tender Surrender* live. They were both in Rolling Stone's top 100 guitar players of all time, and many people seem to feel that Buckingham was rated far too low on that list (and to be fair, there are some suspect entries ahead of his).

A warm up 🤯 lol dang
That whole concert was incredible! Watching them live is an experience of itself!
We can imagine ❤️

Genius indeed! We appreciate your message Kevin! 🔥

Bros, you should dive into documentaries and interviews with Eddie. He was beyond talented. RIP GOAT!!
Great reaction!!! You should look into his history and interviews. He came to America as a kid. Couldn't speak English. His dad was a big band jazz player. Ho learned classical piano and drums. His brother was the drum player in the band. And he never learned to read music
Your look of pure joy said it all! I'm sure it matched everyone's watching! Thank you!
I saw Van Halen open for The Doobie Brothers back in the day. I had heard of them but I didn't know anything about them. They totally blew me away!
Sounds like an awesome experience!

I like the fact that you still paid respect to Jimmy and Stevie. Big respects to all of them for bringing us all this amazing music! 😊🫶🏽

@@SimplyTwoDudes thanks for your response I saw live back in the day and I just want Gary to be recognized thanks for all you do
RIP Eddie and Neil Peart

Watch 83 us festival van halen!
Saw this live for 14 bucks. 🤘
Ahaha that’s incredible! Nowadays concerts are so expensive. You’d be lucky to see a show for $15 lol 😅🤦🏽♂️
If there was any question about which instrument to start out on, this is a case. "PIANO"
Grand Funk Railroad "Outside looking in"
You got to hear the solo when Ozzie was in Japan Zakk Wylde solo look it up you will be shocked there ain’t nothing like it
Will do 👍🏻
bro the reaction of Alffy Rev Wonderland 2 performance version is really good bro👍
DONE 😎
VanHalen was the best ever!.....Eddie's brother Alex is playing the drums
Thats pretty cool 🔥
✌🎸🤘🙏🙏👍❤❤
Just Eddie and his guitar. No wah wah pedals or any other type of machinations. Just Eddie and his guitar.
It's cool that you pointed that out Kevin lol!
He is using pedals in this.

Try Yngwie Malmsteen
Gary Moore
🧐🧐
Yes, „Still got the blues“ live!
Your favorite guitar player's hero is Eddie Van Halen!
Eddie never learned how to read music. Check out the book Van Halen Rising.
It would have been a better show if you two amazed guys, are in the smaller screen on the bottom.
After all it is Van Halen you are enjoying.
Not bad, eh?
Not bad at all lol! That was legendary! 🙌🏽🔥♥️
