Hey Pete this is sort of kind of amazing! More than sort of Kinda amazing it's actually F-ING amazing! Kind of superhuman! Everybody's great! Wow....hope you get to do more of these VH Gigs :)
@@PeteThorn not only was the playing amazing, but you look like you were having the time of your life doing it as well. It doesn't get much better than that! : )
@@Sean_Farmer Thanks, it was super fun! It's a blast playing that music! That's the most important part, I think, having fun and trying to capture that spirit, because those guys always looked like they were having the time of their lives, and it just ain't right if it's too serious! ha
@@PeteThorn if you're not having fun playing VH songs then you just don't get it. Of course there are songs with a different vibe but most of them are about feeling the groove and letting loose. I'm happy to see you having so much joy doing it.
Taking on the mighty Van Halen is not a job for the faint of heart. Pete you nailed every aspect of the performance. I hope you guys can take this act on the road!
It is so effing great to see Pete playing live and making the songs his own while honouring Eddie. I am in awe of this brilliant fellow Canadian musician.
Pete I remember you mentioning this gig a while ago. As soon as I saw it on my feed I said Pete is going to eat this song alive!!! And you sure as hell did!!! Edward would be proud!!!
Congratulations Pete! You got to live out every guitar player that grew up in the 80's fantasy - Playing VH live and crushing it. I think all of us have dreamed about that moment and you got to live it, that's so cool.
Best VH tribute band I ever saw. Done with class and authenticity. Pete nailed it. Spectacular. Not as easy as people think to pull that off. At last a vocalist that can do Roth well and make it his own.
A real DLR act includes forgetting the lyrics. Mitch was way off with his professionalism and crazy singing in tune stuff. You guys rocked this!!!! Amazing guitar work Pete. What a blast!
Damn! This is AWESOME!!! Man.... you guys just killed this. If I wasn't watching it, I might have thought Edward was up there doing his thing. Thank you X 1,000..... for keeping this stuff alive Pete. This is the soundtrack of my Life, fore sure!!
OMG!!! That was freaking unbelievably amazing!!! Great playing and singing. Please do a video on your rig. Thanks for sharing this video and your talent with us. Blessings my friend.
Killer playing, Pete. Been watching your channel since I found your Eruption lesson 10 years ago. All your playing - from EVH to your gear demos to records - so awesome and inspirational.
I'm so happy people like pete are celebrating his legacy after he passed away last year. Goes to show that he never left. He's still here and as Steve vai said, you just have to press play.
Great Job Guys !!! Such a fitting tribute to one of the all -time greatest bands, the American Icon that is Van Halen. Thank you for such a great performance! Between Mitch nailing the vocals, Pete having studied and faithfully recreated every nuance of our hero EVH, and the rock solid rhythm and percussion, we're all impressed and appreciative. Those were great days. You've let us rejoice and revel in the memories. Thank you.
Hey Pete, I passed on a chance to see the 1984 tour in Winnipeg because I had a big midterm exam the next day. I'll regret it every day of my life. But I did go on to seeing Ed twice, once from 20 feet away. Thanks for posting this. You freezing OWNED that lead.
I've heard afew negative stuff about this venture, ......say what you will but this a tribute to one of history's most influential bands of our generation (50+yrs old) & this just keeps reminding us that this genre kicks ass period!!!. Good job Mitch/Pete/Daniel & (sorry don't know drummers name) 👍🏻😉
Absolutely agree, Pete is one of the few that nails the VH riffs, sound and attitude. The rest of the band are excellent and Mitch never ages and sounds great. Love this.
Pete & Mitch as well as rest of the band and crew,"" TY-TY+TY, I know Edward is Smiling that smerk gren, God Bless everyone involved from Mitch to the clean up crew, TY 4 keeping EVH alive, and it's like U gave us VH nerds ,, Such a Hi!! And WVH did show close 2 me n Huntsville AL, same I seen VH couldn't make that gig either fuse L4-L5 & Titanium rods &screws, TY U guy's+WVH 4 Sharing, Long Live Van Halen!!
Man that was f...ing awesome!!! Great tribute to Ed and the whole band sounded killer!! Pete your playing is sick your axe slinging skills are over the top man! 🤟😎
Really great Pete.. I don’t know Van Halens music very well.. but I’m gonna go listen.. you guys will probably help new wave of interest in this music… Nice one👍.. keep it burnin
This is AMAZING - it's hard to decide what's more impressive, Pete nailing EVH so unbelievably, or Mitch's hair?! Seriously though, not that I wasn't serious before, the whole band does a killer job - I hope you guys get up near DC at some point!!!
Hey Pete this is sort of kind of amazing! More than sort of Kinda amazing it's actually F-ING amazing! Kind of superhuman! Everybody's great! Wow....hope you get to do more of these VH Gigs :)
Hey my friend! Thanks! We talked quite a bit about you while I was out there! How are you doing? We should get together soon man!!!
@@PeteThorn not only was the playing amazing, but you look like you were having the time of your life doing it as well. It doesn't get much better than that! : )
Pete was born for this. Right in his element😁😁😁😁😁

Holy crap Pete , YOU NAILED IT .
The sound + the riffs .
Your hours of practice shine through here .
Well done man , well done.
Thanks!
He always does!!!! And he has a blast doing EVH. The smile on that handsome fella's face is sheer joy
From the clarity of your tone to the rhthmic approach, down to the note-perfect solo, you deserve a lot of credit. That was incredibly well done.
Taking on the mighty Van Halen is not a job for the faint of heart. Pete you nailed every aspect of the performance. I hope you guys can take this act on the road!
This is one of the best cover of this song I've ever heard, thank you guys, Pete you nailed it perfecly !!!
Sir, you're absolutely right!
@@Tom-wm4gy Thank you very much Sir !!!
You haven't heard steel panther's version ! Mitch malloy sounds lame on vocals !
@@goneshootin61 I totally agree with you mate, Michael Starr is in another level of course !!!
I love how Mitch Malloy embraced his brief scrape with Van Halen and made it part of his live set. It sounds awesome and is a great tribute to VH.
How does Mitch still have the most amazing head of hair God ever chose to bestow upon anyone? 🤣
lol...right?!
Robert Plant. 1969. still the champion!
dude never had a bad hair day in his life
It is so effing great to see Pete playing live and making the songs his own while honouring Eddie. I am in awe of this brilliant fellow Canadian musician.
Pete I remember you mentioning this gig a while ago. As soon as I saw it on my feed I said Pete is going to eat this song alive!!! And you sure as hell did!!! Edward would be proud!!!
Yeah look at Dan on the bass! This is so awesome
No sure how I missed this… fantastic cover… great playing by all. Pete on 🔥
Killer performance Pete!
Eddie would be very proud of you Pete! Amazing stuff! Thanks so much for everything you do!
Congratulations Pete! You got to live out every guitar player that grew up in the 80's fantasy - Playing VH live and crushing it. I think all of us have dreamed about that moment and you got to live it, that's so cool.

Pete, this is awesome! Well done. The band is terrific. Kudos to Mitch for getting this going.
I grinned the whole way through this. So fun to watch, love the tribute. Also that turnaround after the first chorus! Nice addition
There's the right way to play this song, then there's the real way. Pete's as real as it gets! Great job.
Great playing Pete!
takes some serious talent , hard work and giant balls to pull off van halen , amazing job !
Fantastic playing Pete , you just nailed it. Great performance by all. 🤟🤓
A tribute had to be done; glad YOU'RE one of the ones doing it! AWESOME!
Woooow, absolutely amazing Pete.
You did such an extraordinary tribute to Ed.
Your tone, your groove and taste are always great.
🔥🔥🎸
Thanks!
Love it!! Please release more from this concert!! It’s epic!! EVH Forever!! 🎸🎶
Wow,all that research into Ed' s tone paid off. Well played and delivered, Pete. Hats off!
Pete! Man. Fabulous!
A real DLR act includes forgetting the lyrics. Mitch was way off with his professionalism and crazy singing in tune stuff. You guys rocked this!!!! Amazing guitar work Pete. What a blast!
Forgetting the lyrics, and shrugging it off with a big shit eatin' grin.
Lmao your trying to compare this clown with Diamond Dave lol. Dave is a rock legend most people never heard of Mitch 😂.
That was freak’n EPIC! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Chills...follow his IG
Kick arse quintessential VH and every one of you deliver. So good and thanks for sharing some awesome music.
Mitch you put together a killer band for this tribute. Wish we would have seen you make an album with those legends. Keep on rocking!!!
Dang Pete! That was killer. Wow, that was the greatest thing to wake up to on a Saturday. Super tight playing as always. You inspire me man always!
Ah, Yeah! Hot for Halen!!! Great job, Pete and the Lads! Great to see you under stage lighting, rather than studio lighting. 🎶🎶🎶🎶💙🌈🌅
Damn! This is AWESOME!!! Man.... you guys just killed this. If I wasn't watching it, I might have thought Edward was up there doing his thing. Thank you X 1,000..... for keeping this stuff alive Pete. This is the soundtrack of my Life, fore sure!!
This is absolutely incredible. Just a sonically perfect reproduction.
Great tribute to the best band of the world
I hope to see more of this show! Great cover!
When Pete plugs in a guitar, angels cry from heaven.
Looks like it was a blast... hope there's more dates in the future
It’s nice to see you smiling and enjoy playing on stage Pete like Eddie always seems to do. Great playing!
Pete, this is next level AWESOME!!!! 🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼
Thanks!
Pete rocks… of course! Great rhythm section, the drummer nailed it, those double kicks were endless! Bassist total thumbs up.

This is just great to see!! You guys captured the spirit of the music and you were having fun.
THANK YOU for doing this! You are the man for an EVH tribute!!!
I'm so happy people like pete are celebrating his legacy after he passed away last year. Goes to show that he never left. He's still here and as Steve vai said, you just have to press play.
Ed changed Us, Music, and our tools forever, he will always be here.
Outstanding playing Pete and I would love to see a whole show some day!!
Damn! What a show that must have been. Great job, Pete... you and the rest of the band.

Love Pete Thorn - he is a beast. ( nice guy too ) - you've got the right-guy on guitar here. Sounded awesome guys. R.I.P. EVH = Legend.

You freezing OWNED that lead.
Maybe that's a typo... or maybe in Winnipeg you use the term "freezing" to indicate more than the weather. LOL!
@@geraldhartley oops. I wasn't joking about Winterpeg on purpose
@@ROOKTABULA I love it. 🥶 I’ve been to Winterpeg before. I grew up in southern Alberta. Saw the mighty VH in 1980 in Lethbridge. 🤘
The reincarnation of Eddie!!!
The Guitars-parts were Mind-blowing...
Perfect performance with perfect Vocals!
I could listen to you play Van Halen all day man. What a fantastic show this had to be. Wish I could have been there! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing guys, just amazing! Made me happy and a bit sad, I miss Eddie, but Pete did an awsome job! Now I hope you take VHE on a world tour ;)
Cheers!
That's was freaking incredible! Your love for the man and his music is fully on display and a beautiful thing man.
Sitting here in Kitchener Ontario. This might be the best part of my day.
Sup Kitchener! I used to live in the K-W back in the day
Pete, Ed would be so proud of you.
