I’m 57 and can vouch for all comments to be true and accurate. From 14 to 24 I lived during the absolute best decade at the best ages. I hit the lottery of life. 😎🤘🤘🎸💀
If this song was released today it would blow people's skulls off. Like someone else said, time should have stopped in the 80's. Literally everything about life was better and music tops the list.
Everyone says that about every decade. Although.....so far we could have skipped over 2020 when speaking of a particular year. General consensus I think.
Absolute bullshit. Musicwise I will agree 100% Music was so amazing back then, the Line up of shows were so ridiculous, absolutely mental. But damn did the eighties have a shitload of problems too.
@@johnstitt2615 No they don't. No one says, "Gee, I'd sure like to go back to the great depression days. Sigh. I miss the 1930's." The Choctaw never say, "Remember back in the 1830's? Wasn't that a great decade?"
The 80"s were without a doubt the decade of the greatest bands in the history rock. This music doesn't go out of style!! Sounds just as great as it did 40 years ago!@
Adrian Vandenberg had some of the most melodic and beautiful solos and fill work. I loved it then and love it today. Truly a very underappreciated guitarist.

1980's were a strong epoch for Rock and ballads of this type were abundant - I just can't count how many great songs with strong melody were made through that period.
Dam it ! Bitter sweet ! So stuck to the 80’s. I can’t handle this. I love this song so much! Puts me right there! Why??!!! You still gotta say.... thank GOD for RUclips!!👍🏼🙌🏼👏👈🏼
I fixed a Marshall amp a couple of times for him for the Whitesnake recordings in 1989. The third time he brought it in himself and made me demonstrate it was working after fixing it again. I played a few bars of this while he was standing there. My fingers were like rubber bands. Hell of a nice guy, though. Ended up he got a bad cabinet from Slash and I had to contact Slash for Adrian to get why it was blown. I ended up selling Adrian my Marshall head for a couple of Peavey VTM amps for my rig. I miss those days.
🎸🙋♀️💖WOW! Very cool! I played in 80s Metal bands. Adrian’s always been my fav! I’m also a guitar tech.. was Daddy’s girl & learned to fix everything. That’s awesome you experienced that time with Adrian!😊
There's plenty of talent and good music. The problem is the massive flood of bland, grey pop that all sounds the same. Proper rock is not heard on the radio anymore... I hear Imagine Dragons is what today's rock is... 😢
I keep coming back here because I'm trying to learn this on guitar, especially the solo. All props to Adrian and Bert Heerink, the singer but that drummer, Jos Zoomer is INTENSE! What a great live band! Wish I had seen them!
Yeah they dont want that shit. Hence what we have today. Middle class happy and having fun? No fucking way. The POS that own this prison planet have gone and done it this time. Dream about the 80z cuz its all we got.
🎸🙋♀️💖Agree Vandenberg is the best of the best. I find it interesting you compare it to rap which isn’t even music. It’s some one talking with a machine. Haha Just saying😊
Now this my friends is what we call music! No autotune, no backing tracks no LED lighting and special effects. Just amazing musicians and vocalist doing what most can’t do today! I want to go back and see the bands that used to just play live and kick ass🤘🤘🤘
this song,is one of the greatest videos ever played on mtv....i was a young teenager in early 80s.this song is stuck in my memory...this band was nothing less than awsome.if i could see 1 band,this would b the 1 i would pick....
Amazing stuff! To realize this was in 1983!! It just shows that real quality is timeless! Adrian was in his very early twenties then and still kicks most contemporary guitarists ass with the combination of feeling,melody and technique...
Adrian es un excelente guitarrista, posee pasión, técnica, composiciones magistrales. En mi opinión es el mejor guitarrista que pasó en Whitesnake, sus bandas lideradas por él son asombrosas.
I have a great story with Adrian,back in 1991,but to long to tell here!but this guy is one of the most humble and nice people I ever met.and a great guitar player too.
That vandenberg singer had a killer kick ass voice amazing and vandenberg is a very underated guitarist so underated it's shameful the singer was very underated too !!! I remember hearing this song on the radio all the time and I was like who the f@#$ is that they kick ass !!! That song is a 80's friggen classic no doubt about it I mean just listen to the song and the guitar and the vocals and the lyrics it's pure genius songwriting !!!
you use the term underrated wrong, too lightly: it should be "they were not so famous/popular as other bands", because every rock connoiseur that hears Vandenberg instantly recognizes their quality and soul.
I saw Vandenberg last month in San Antonio. You better go see all these old school rocker before they retire or no longer can play. An entire generation of music is leaving us ie Dickey Betts.
What a super guitarist!!!! Such beautiful playing. Goes perfectly with the fantastic vocals. This, to me, is a feel good song. I can get lost in the words. No therapy can relax a person like this beautiful song.
when music was organic rock good era good fucking times Adrian Vanderberg ! always liked his style i’m old man!! but i’ll never forget the 80s were cool we didn’t have cell phones we skated got drunk listen to metal and rock and Run DMC lol
Oh yeah - you are so right! With the loss of these years my youth has gone and with it all my joy and all my hope. These times will never come back and all what's remaining is my yearning...
Amazing song. Amazing performance. Amazing singer, Amazing guitars, Amazing bass. Amazing Vandenberg. One of my favorite album of all times. Your Love Is in Vain and I'm Ready for you with my Burning heart Back on my feet. Wait, I'm Ready for you and It's no Too late to be Out in the streets Lost in a City. There's Nothing to lose
I saw Vandenderg in 1983 at the red coat inn. He is in my top #10 guitarist of all time. He's so good and the singer is fantastic when rock music was worth it and the music ment something. I hope to see him again. I just saw Y&T,MSG, I wanted to see ( XYZ,Warrior,Sacred Rite,Seventh Key,Stone Machine,&Tyketto ). Once before I pass away!!
PESSOAL fala sério se nos das antigas fomos felizes ?! que maravilha lembrar nossos Rock in Roll e perfeito p um carnaval...solta o som quem estiver ouvindo comigo e seja feliz.😆
I think everyone can relate to this amazing song!! If you had your heart broken- this song is for you!! We have all felt this way one time in our lives!!
NO ONE will ever top the music in the 80s,they should give up & just listen to it.....this is so awsome.i remember watching mtv,& this song came on,and ive loved it every since.long live the hairbands....
While I'd heard this song in the early 80's, and liked it, it wasn't until it held true to life meaning to me in the later 80's, into the 90's when I really fell in love with it. The lyrics are so compelling, and simple, with such a deep meaning.. Thoughts of that girl will haunt me until the day I die, and this song has always helped me digest some of that just by feeling that somebody else has walked the same path as I.......
This song - anyone who has been in love and had their heart broken can relate to this song!! Just a beautiful powerfull song!! It gets me every time I listen to it!!
Saw this band supporting Schenker in 92' Newcastle UK, have to say they blew me away, and i followed his career ever since, it was obvious he was gonna become huge in the rock arena. . .
How did this band not become huge? The guitar is killer and the vocals are freaking amazing.
🎸🙋♀️Only we true 80s Metalheads appreciated Vandenberg then. Still on top of my list!
Look at the crowd ! They were huge
Classic
They were a big deal...i remember this song being on the radio all the time in the early 80s...just didn't last long.😢
I’m 57 and can vouch for all comments to be true and accurate. From 14 to 24 I lived during the absolute best decade at the best ages. I hit the lottery of life.

Bien dit.

Now Accepting Donations to Build a Time Machine Back to The 80's.
I'd settle for the 90s, sheeeeeit
I am from the future and we still don't have that damn time machine yet. This is as close as we have gotten so far.
I'm in🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Earth humans were most likely never even supposed to exist. But we somehow excelled far enough to create this.
@@guyglot I'm accepting Donations
I can't believe this singer didn't go on to become a superstar frontman ?
The pipes on this guy are phenomenal !
I enjoy listening this is my favorite style and kind of music all my life
When music was awesome! Glad I lived in this era of the 80s as a teenager. 👍🏽❤️🎼🎶🎵🔊🔊🔊
Me too
Me too
80's METAL from Anthrax to Zebra and everything in between!!!! Glad I was there.
80's rock was energy, happiness, life was good.
One of the best power ballads ever. The chord progressions at the beginning all the way to the solo and the vocals are so good.
The vocals are as good if not better than the vocals on the studio record, that's insane for a live show
Their PA system here is Great. It's very powerful and everything is micked and EQ'd correctly.
If this song was released today it would blow people's skulls off. Like someone else said, time should have stopped in the 80's. Literally everything about life was better and music tops the list.
Everyone says that about every decade. Although.....so far we could have skipped over 2020 when speaking of a particular year. General consensus I think.

The mid to late 60's to mid 70's was my preteen through my teen years, so that music influenced me the most and I loved it!

He is highly appreciated among guitarists.
I liked him back in the day, but he totally lost it at the moment.

He was the master of chord progression.
It bums me out sometimes I'm getting older, but I'm sure I'm glad I grew up when I did , the late seventies and '80s music is just so good
This was always a beautiful song. A lot of talent on display in this video. Adrian Vandenberg is a beast!
I remember when this sing was blowing up MTV
Nothing... I mean nothing... beats a single phenomenal performance. Beautiful
WHAT A SONG! Perhaps THE greatest power ballad type song EVER written! The studio version on a great stereo system will send chills up your spine!
Yes, it is THE best power ballad everrrr....
1980's were a strong epoch for Rock and ballads of this type were abundant - I just can't count how many great songs with strong melody were made through that period.
Can never mistake his vocals. One of a kind!
Only few bands sound THIS good live.
WOW!
If I had a dime, I'd give it to the time machine. Adrian pushed me past Zepplin and into the 80's. Most amazing decade in the USA EVER!!
Im 34, still listen to this music in 2021. It never gets old!
An extremely underrated guitarist, songwriter and one of the greatest hard rock ballads ever...
Not by Whitesnake.
No he wasn't
Amazing!The 80's were pure magic!
Dam it ! Bitter sweet ! So stuck to the 80’s. I can’t handle this. I love this song so much! Puts me right there! Why??!!!
You still gotta say.... thank GOD for RUclips!!👍🏼🙌🏼👏👈🏼
I know what you mean. Times were simple and we were young!

Adrian Vandenberg was such an underrated guitarist.
Not at all. Everyone new he was a great player.
No. Why...much people, included me, enjoyed the band.
still playing
Not anymore.And surtenly NOT by coverdale.
Well known and respected guitarist
❤ this brings back so many memories. What a beautiful song .What awesome guitar licks!
🎸🙋♀️One of the most beautiful songs ever written!
Van Den Berg was , or should I say, is A GREAT guitar player. When he played with White Snake even more great musi . Would anyone agree? I think so!!!
Saw them a few times in the 80s at the Mid South Coliseum in Memphis. Awesome band!
Takes me back to the summer of ‘82.
40 years later still great
Astonishingly great performance...the intro, the solo, all perfect...Vandenberg is one of the masters of guitar
彼の影響を受けて15歳でギターを始めました。オヤジの今でも大好きです。
Music is a Time Machine ! Takes you back to those good songs and times !
🎸🙋♀️💖So true!
O Rock dos anos 80 era diferenciado! Nunca aceitei deixar de ouvir canções tão belas como esta!
song never gets old

i never get sick of this song.its a work of art..
What burns my heart is that we dont have such talent today !!!!
There's plenty of talent and good music. The problem is the massive flood of bland, grey pop that all sounds the same. Proper rock is not heard on the radio anymore... I hear Imagine Dragons is what today's rock is... 😢
phenomenal vocal range
I keep coming back here because I'm trying to learn this on guitar, especially the solo. All props to Adrian and Bert Heerink, the singer but that drummer, Jos Zoomer is INTENSE! What a great live band! Wish I had seen them!
Great song!! I remember when this came out. It still makes me get shivers each time I hear it.
It was generational music. None of us realized it at the time; we just loved it.
Adje came top of the world. Virtuoos from the Netherlands . I was there. Kids wanted to play like him
80s was so amazing, music ,fashion movies and the friends ,life without mobile phones was so great
Jani Virtanen I hear ya Jani ...good day's
Fashion was bad .
It's so hard to move on from 80's i really miss all about 80's music, fashion,forever friendship till now,hair style and metal.
Why do u said that man... now you make cry. Damn u
@Uncon TROLLable Cant compare this to disco. This was wrote and played from the heart and soul Disco sucked then and always will
Everyone was always so happy in the 80's ...
Yeah they dont want that shit. Hence what we have today. Middle class happy and having fun? No fucking way. The POS that own this prison planet have gone and done it this time. Dream about the 80z cuz its all we got.
Yes we were happy then, but I'm still happy now....and it's music like this that keeps me smiling.😎
Reagan was president and the US was safe and prosperus.
Coke!
OMG! I just flew back to the early 80's again! What a magical time!
Its my favorite song. It has never been topped. The guitar and lyrics are .......
One of the Best Singers Ever ‼️ This is one of the Best Videos on RUclips for me. Blows away every Rap song in history ‼️😳👍
🎸🙋♀️💖Agree Vandenberg is the best of the best. I find it interesting you compare it to rap which isn’t even music. It’s some one talking with a machine. Haha Just saying😊
I was a 7th grader jr. High when this song came out. I'll never forget those years
This is one of The Best Rock Ballads of All Time!!!
One of the greatest power ballads ever written. Nice to see it performed live. Vandenberg rocks!
Awesome. Love it when a person can sing live and sound just as good as they do on the album... Dude has a helluva voice...
moresnare - could not agree with you more - unbelievable voice - too bad he couldn't have gotten more recognition for it.
he does: pinkfloydproject.nl/bandleden/
Great singer very original sounding voice.
agreed
@Ramona van Rossen Thank You! I Have This Album! Those Were The Days🎼✌

Killer version.....vocals are spot on!....adrian is very underrated. First album is incredible!
joe paul Underrated by who?
This guy could flat out sing! Damn his voice sound nearly identicle to the recording and this is live. Not many singers sound that good live.
Got to see them live in the early 80’s. They were great! Still love’em.
I've watched this clip so many times! I love it! Especially Adrian on his guitar, really excellent! It’s one of the best Dutch rock songs ever!
Amazing stuff! To realize this was in 1983!! It just shows that real quality is timeless! Adrian was in his very early twenties then and still kicks most contemporary guitarists ass with the combination of feeling,melody and technique...

What an incredible solo.I love Vandenbergs style. Schenker, Le Tekro, DiMartini, good stuff!
They were good . I miss good music. It's been a long-time. Guess it's never coming back.
Sang this song for years, one of my favorites to sing!! Great song! Great vocals.
I saw Vandenberg last month in San Antonio. You better go see all these old school rocker before they retire or no longer can play. An entire generation of music is leaving us ie Dickey Betts.
I have a cassette the best of vendenberg..I bought 80s since I was younger..
Still a great jam after all these years..Lead singer has an awesome voice and Adrian is masterful !!!!!
Vandenberg Rocks my World! This is such a beautiful song!
What a super guitarist!!!! Such beautiful playing. Goes perfectly with the fantastic vocals. This, to me, is a feel good song. I can get lost in the words. No therapy can relax a person like this beautiful song.

Me too !

A song ,a band and a performance standing as a rock in it`s own perspective...
I saw Vandenderg in 1983 at the red coat inn. He is in my top #10 guitarist of all time. He's so good and the singer is fantastic when rock music was worth it and the
music ment something. I hope to see him again. I just saw Y&T,MSG, I wanted to see ( XYZ,Warrior,Sacred Rite,Seventh Key,Stone Machine,&Tyketto ). Once before I pass away!!
Some of my favorite cds..I still listen to them today.
Adrian Vandenberg is the world best hard rock lead guitarist in Europe & the world.
