Mike is really saving the show in terms of the vocals. Sammy had a great range but he also used a lot of strain to sing as high as he could, those days are over clearly. Mike is gifted to singing in a high register so comfortably
@pseudotatsuya you know he's in the tequila selling business right? I don't think he's ever been a big drinker, it's probably deliberate you see him drinking for promotional purposes. In moderation it's OK, I never seen him wasted. He said his dad was an alcoholic and he's never wanted to be that too
He can't sing Dreams anymore, I figure, but he played Dreams (recorded version) before he started this particular show. I lost my mind. And this is also my favorite VH song, so seeing this live was just surreal. Bless your daughter and your soul, forever Red Rocker \m/
@ShoOKitssho_time I know he can't preform certain songs anymore like he used to. He wanted to give the audience the best show possible. With that being said live performances take on a whole new life. Interesting to see what he chooses and changes up on the Vegas presidency? Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving.
A lot of the performances cut short because Sammy had a terrible throat infection. Wasn’t thrilled when the show in Miami, April 23, 1995… ended early.
I love Sammy Hagar and I love Van Halen. But admittedly, my favorite rock band of all times is Def Leppard. I’ve been a fan of Def Leppard since 1980! There’s one song in the Def Leppard catalog that I absolutely love, it’s a rare song and it’s a B-side song, the name, “me and my wine.” It’s a song that appeared in the re-release of their album, high and dry way back in the mid 80s. Now, I’ve watched Def Leppard in concert well over 50 times in my life. And they have never played this song. I have sent countless letters to the fan club, on the blogs to the website, begging for them to play this song one time, yet never. I sent repeated messages to them to play it when this latest tour was announced and my hometown was one of stops in the tour of this year and they never played it. Here you have Sammy Hagar with the rest of the guys doing a last-minute request they go, backstage rehearse, and do a fantastic job! This is why Sammy Hagar and his band have to be perhaps the nicest and greatest group of Rockstar performers today. God bless Sammy and all the amazing musicians in his band 👊🏼
What a fearless group of musicians! This is a harder song to pull off than it sounds on the record. This is fantastic! Keep polishing this one, guys. Edit: What a tasty lead by Joe!
Sammy doesn't have the range for the high notes any more unfortunately. They either need to tune down further or do an acoustic version that's tuned way down like the version of Dreams he does with Vic Johnson.
Notice the crowd is leaning right against the stage with no security in sight. The American shows have a barrier separating the crowd from the stage by about 4 feet. They know the Japanese wouldn’t violate the rules.
I think this song was only planned for Japan (I think it charted at number 1 for VH there in 95). I noticed the chorus background changed (Mike did the oohs with a special mic, I think evh did background vocals on this too). Hard song to play live I imagine despite having tunes like 5150 and Runaround in the set as well (vocally, with the guitar tones and the drums after the guitar solo).
I never thought that Joe would have fit in with the Van Halen catalog because his style is way different altogether. But seeing his other shows with Sammy on RUclips I was so blown away and such a tribute to eddie. This lineup is one of the best out there age included. You could tell in the beginning Sammy had a little hiccup but given this song is tough to sing even if he was back in his 30s it’s just hard to d vocally wise. I would love to see these guys pull off their own tunes and record an album. It would be filled with explosive sounds and energy and blow the fans out there away. Such talent it’s sickening lol😅
Joe really took an academic approach to it, and it showed. He basically did the guitar equivalent of method acting, and nailed it. If they do it again maybe they’ll drop it a half step although, it’s just a tough song to sing.
Kenny Aronoff. He's filling in for Jason Bonham because Jason's mom had a medical emergency and wasn't doing well so Jason went to be with her. Kenny filled in for Chad Smith on a Chickenfoot tour over a decade ago.
@@thefonzkiss I love Black and Blue and Big Fat, but yeah Sucker in a 3 piece is filler. But think about it with 10 albums there are only a small handfull of Duds
Joe did an interview where he said Sammy wanted to try it. Joe said he’d need a couple weeks between shows to work out the tone because its so different to other VH stuff. So that probably pushed rehearsals to between this leg and the last leg of the tour. They clearly rehearsed a bit. They nailed it. Joe especially. Sammy probably exaggerated with the “1 hour notice”. Just like he did with “never played”. He did say one tour which is true Unfortunately crowd’s don’t get excited by “first time we played this… except this time…. And that time… oh and one other time there”
@@DS76204 The dead giveaway is Satch’s guitar-playing. The way he played the parts sounded and looked rehearsed; I mean, you can’t play that song and get down Eddie’s parts that well with just an hour of practice.
HONESTLY, I'm not a fan of him. Something about the dude annoys me. The glasses, the way he talks, just about everything about him. Sammy made it sound like he had to learn every song in 24 hours but he's played with Sammy on and off for years, he knew most of the songs already
@@remnantsofasoundblastKenny's playing with Sammy was filling in for Chad Smith in Chickenfoot for a tour. CF didn't play any Sammy solo or Van Hagar songs. They just played CF songs and covered songs like Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin. Close up video of Kenny on this tour reveals he has a tablet next to his drum seat which is likely showing sheet music that he's playing from. He can site read.
Sammy, I am convinced: There is nothing YOU can’t do !
One of my favorite VH songs ever. Thank you Sammy for giving it to us one more time!
So thankful they did this huge final tour of all these great songs.
Mike is really saving the show in terms of the vocals. Sammy had a great range but he also used a lot of strain to sing as high as he could, those days are over clearly. Mike is gifted to singing in a high register so comfortably
He's drinking a lot of tequila during the show. He would be better if he quit drinking alcohol.

In moderation it's OK, I never seen him wasted. He said his dad was an alcoholic and he's never wanted to be that too
My daughter had hoped they were going to perform this song when we saw them last month. It is one of my favorites along with Dreams.

Y’all’s songs are so awesome! Always fan of y’all! ♥️🌟👋
Amazing! You still got it Sammy!
Sammys 77 yrs old..aronoff is 71..keep that in mind when your criticizing them...i think for there ages they still sound amazing.
When did the amazing part start??????.i missed it! Talent, dont need it these days!
Ou812, time to 3:39 eat another! WTF! Rapp aint that bad after all!!!!!!
Eddie Murphy, sounds better, crying.
@@markdinicols2956 when did that happen?
Saw themnin Nashville and it was awesome
Mr. Joe Satriani thank-you 😃
私の最も好きな曲です。東京でも演奏してくれることを祈ります。
What a privilege to hear him sing that song again! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thank you Sammy, my favorite song🇧🇷🇧🇷
Van Halen played this 103 times on the Balance tour.

No one cares.
@@Mibekyabe For you? Sorry to hear that man.
He's 77 godamn it. He nailed it ❤
Awesome!!!
Sammy's vocals were very tired on this one, but what a great idea to add it to the setlist.
Good effort form sammy on vocals, a singer 30 year younger would struggle to sing this
泣ける❤
海外公演のセットリストには無いのに、日本のファンの為に3時間前に練習して歌ってくれました。自分も名古屋公演で聴けて泣けてきました。サミーヘイガーありがとう。
One of my favorites of all time.
Wish they had done it in Nashville.
Sam really took care of his voice, attitude, brain, vocals
What a fearless group of musicians! This is a harder song to pull off than it sounds on the record. This is fantastic! Keep polishing this one, guys.

@@RyanConnell5150 I noticed that too, he was not able to sing chorus in right key, the others helped him out
He’s also 76…cut him some slack!
Top 5 Van Hagar for sure! It was a bit rough, but very emotional to hear it. Joe paid homage to Ed’s guitar part.
I wish the boys would have played this one in the Toronto show. Great song
EPIC VAN HAGAR
Notice the crowd is leaning right against the stage with no security in sight. The American shows have a barrier separating the crowd from the stage by about 4 feet. They know the Japanese wouldn’t violate the rules.
This is my favorite VH song
Very cool! The lower octave from one of the guys is weird, but great song and performance, hope they keep rehearse for the 2025 leg if the tour!
Awesome! Thanks for shareing"
Sammy did a good job singing down low on the chorus instead of trying to hit those high notes.
いい歌だなあー、ロックの名曲
love it ❤

omg
Thanks to Michael Anthony again for that high vocal notes in the chorus. Without that, they would not have try it !
Amazing
Thanks
サトリアーニ!?アツい(涙)
ギターは酷く劣化したり壊れたら変えれば良いけど、声、喉はそうはいかない。この歳になっても歌ってくれるサミー・ヘイガー、素敵すぎる。最高。
My wife and I were there
The名曲
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍😍😍
They should play it!
Underrated song
He definitely sang it live with Van Halen because I saw them do it on the balance tour.
One bad ASS song
行けなかった事を一生悔やむ
東京でもやってくれることを願ってる
This is a great song, I wonder why it's not on their normal set list ??
He has lowered a tone and still hard to reach the notes. It's a really dificult to sing
Out of Sammy's range
@@ColdHardToronto most of the material is. Sammy's songs were hard to sing at his peak. He did good lower the song with help from Mike for the Chorus
サミー ありがとう❤
Satch is god. He learned this three hours before the show???????
He is joe Satriani?
Who is playing drums?
Kenny Aronoff. He's filling in for Jason Bonham because Jason's mom had a medical emergency and wasn't doing well so Jason went to be with her. Kenny filled in for Chad Smith on a Chickenfoot tour over a decade ago.
@@RyanConnell5150 Thanks for that information Ryan, I was wondering about where JB was too.
Aranoff is a so much better fit than Bonham.
Tua tua keladi..... makin tua makin jadi..... manntaaapppppp😅
I think Sammy voice was just tired here. There were other songs he has sounded great.
Sammy te estado esperando tanyo tie
Sammy mostly did the same VH songs with his solo band. That's why he doesn't remember this song well.
Imagine how it would sound when duly rehearsed
Love em but just doesnt have Eds swing
He should’ve let Mike sing it. Lol
Una pena que no llegue a las notas agudas en el coro…, pero bueno…, se entiende el paso del tiempo 😢
出来たらアレックスが演奏に加わって欲しかった😢
仲悪いの知ってる?
Still got Kenny
Sammy is sounding rough
演奏者は一流だろうけど、バンヘイレン兄弟とは何かが違うな
Sappilo and Dr.pepper.
This song is the only Van Halen song that i consider filler material.
Black N Blue, Spanked, Inside, A Apolitical Blues, Big Fat Money, Sucker in a Three Piece …
@@thefonzkiss I love Black and Blue and Big Fat, but yeah Sucker in a 3 piece is filler. But think about it with 10 albums there are only a small handfull of Duds
Sam's memory is shot. They played it on the Balance tour. They had all summer to rehearse this. WTF?

Kenny missed the tom part towards the end of the song. It's a really nice part where Alex hit quarters notes on the toms on 2 and 4.
HONESTLY, I'm not a fan of him. Something about the dude annoys me. The glasses, the way he talks, just about everything about him.
Sammy made it sound like he had to learn every song in 24 hours but he's played with Sammy on and off for years, he knew most of the songs already
I think we can let it slide since he joined this tour last minute and they clearly didn't rehearse this song very much with him.
