Josh Gallagher, Luke Gallagher and Sal Abate covering one of the most powerful anthems of all time, Van Halen's "Dreams" from the "5150" album. This song has had a HUGE impact on me and is actually my earliest introduction to Van Halen. I was a diehard Power Rangers kid in the late 90s so one of my earliest memories is hearing this song in the credits of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" and I loved it then just as much as I do now! It's definitely my favourite Hagar era track and for me there are very few songs that can match the triumphant power of "Dreams". This is also the first video in which I have filmed myself playing full bass and keyboard tracks. I'm so proud of this cover and I hope you enjoy it!
Sal Abate - Vocals
Luke Gallagher - Electric and Acoustic Guitars

Mad respect to the vocalist. That's a bloody difficult song to sing and he nailed it.
Yes I was waitin for someone to sound this way striaght nail sam
Finding this after EVH's passing. Such a good cover.
@@darustyemperor5338 👌
Word, I try it every time I shower.
Every time I'm in the shower!!!!
Any vocalist who has ever tried to sing this song (in the original key and octave) has instant respect for Sammy Hagar. Good cover, by the way!
May be you can listen dreams covered by atomic punk. That sounds more like original recording version
@@adinugroho_ITS I've listened to that cover you've recommended out of pure curiosity and man I can't say a good word about it. It's played too fast, guitarist doesn't hit the right notes sometimes and maybe vocal seems quite near to the original because of the voice timbre, but guy is starting to choke in the half-way of the song cause of high notes. As for me cover by joshkosh95 is technically a masterpiece.
@@adinugroho_ITS in my opinion, not even close, they don't even have keyboards
Awesome cover mate catching the numerous subtle changes in the lyrics. And couldn't agree more with VivaToddVegas above about covering this song in this octave/key.
Damn! Y'all nailed it!!! Amazing
You don’t even realize how high Sammy’s singing until you hear somebody else singing the same notes and it sounds like Geddy Lee.
Because Sammy's voice still had this deep, rough, rock timbre to it even when going ultrasonic high. Incredible singer.
That was my EXACT thought.. dam wanna go see the original and hear it.. Sammy makes it sound so natural.. quite amazing isn't it?
@@RyanMonty EVen in high registers, still has the rasp in his voice, very rare
@@gfgranja yeah I have no clue how he does it.
Still sounds good, though.
Seeing this for the first time in 2024. Killer cover, especially the vocals.
Songs like this are why I strongly prefer the Hagar era to the Roth era. This song is so beautiful.
Hagar better than Roth? GTFOH. You're f'n clueless.
@@jwc1977 I realize it's all a matter of opinion so I don't think you're wrong for liking Roth more, I just enjoyed the keyboard-heavy ballads like Right Now or Dreams to the spandexy hair metal of the Roth era.
@@jwc1977 well, Hagar could actually sing 🤷♂️
Totally agree with you. Van Hager was the best.
@@jwc1977 Very rude. DLR is a musical joke. He was a circus performer at best whom Eddie and the gang had to carry. Listen to him strain on the studio version of Dance the Night Away never mind anything he ever did live. If your statement was that the DLR era was a better version of VH I see the argument. They were essentially two different bands with two different messages. But from an instrumental, lyrical and vocal perspective they are not even in the same universe.
RIP Eddie, we will miss you...
I still can't comprehend that he's not with us anymore. He was always one of my heroes. He always will be, but I just can't wrap my mind around his death.
Eddie would be proud of this cover you guys shredded it 🤟🤟🤟🤟
By far the closest I've heard anyone come to Van Halen. The guitarist has all the chops, but far more importantly, the joy and soul of Ed's playing. Drumming is spot on and the lead vocal takes on a bear and wrestles it to the ground. RIP Eddie.
i hate everything, but this was incredible. alex's snare sound was perfect, the guitarist played note for note eddie, which is almost impossible, and the vocals.....just really impressive
it's not impossible to play Eddie note for note. guys do it all the time. on the other hand, it's nearly impossible to play Hendrix and Stevie Ray note for note.
It wasn’t note for note but it was very good all the same.
Great Performances.
5 stars ALL AROUND.
@@bconni2 eddie was far more creative than stevie ray his shit is boring and undynamic the way eddie played
I agree with you the guitar player did a flawless performance though some body disagree and talks about Hendrix it's not easy covering one of the greatest all time rock guitar players.
Jesus!!! I am BLOWN AWAY by how well you guys put this together to near perfection. I am a 50 year-old Van Halen fan and percussionist. The vocals, acoustics, percussion, bass lines...just flawless. I literally got choked up at the very end, thinking I had witnessed the second coming of the Sammy/Michael vocal matchup. Thanks for this, guys.
Gregory Stark Agreed bro!!!
Well when there all passed away somebody is going to have to play this live and all this music hopefully new jobs will be created since people will beg for this to come back when there's nobody to go see.
Bang on Sir...they have it nailed for sure
👌🤘💕
Gregory Stark uhhhhh......what he said.
Man those guys are SOOOOOO Good and you can tell they LOVE to Rock!!!! Glad to see this generation loving and respecting ROCK!
I'm back to say that after watching a few other versions of this song, THIS VERSION is THE ABSOLUTE BUSINESS!
Are you sure it's a cover? I could play this in front of my friends and I don't think they notice anything different from the original.
As a 60 year old Van Halen/Hagar fan, this is by far the absolute best cover of Dreams I’ve ever seen and heard! Outstanding guys! 👊
me too man..
Thanks so much for all the amazing comments everyone! I appreciate it!!
Guys, if I would have closed my eyes and listened I would have pictured the group playing but I kept them open to watch you guys. Awesome performance gentleman. Dreams never die, keep believing and dreaming!!!!
I have been a Van Halen fan forever. This literally gave me chills. The hair on my arms are all standing up. Awesome guys!!! Just wow!!!
this is one of the hardest songs to sing ... Seen Van Halen 4 times and Sammy hardly sings it live because its so hard ... Bravo , well done
Sammy's style uses a lot of chest voice while the singer here uses a lot more head voice that's why he sounds "thin" (like Axl Rose or Sebastian Bach). It's much easier to your voice box to sound thin when singing high notes. But how it fits to the song is a different question.
Fantastic Rendition!!! RIP Eddie!!! Your legacy will live on forever in our hearts and music!!!
Ok, that vocal performance blew my mind.
I second that!
🤯🤯
First two lines I thought he wasn't that good but than🤯
@@TheMelody911 I honestly think it might have been nerves lol cuz he got better as the song went on
@@s1iznc1d34 no
There are two gallagher brothers who doesn't hate each other
the drummer bro is now with Derap
Great job by all. Sammy was and still is an absolute beast and not many people can get anywhere near him.
Big props to the singer for having the stones and chops to sing this song. Very nicely done.
Guys. Eddie Van Helen would be proud of you.
There's a few different components to this cover, so I'm going to pick it apart.
Ok, first off. Whoever is in guitar, BRAVO! EVH is often imitated, seldom "duplicated". I think I just witnessed that solo being duplicated. And if it wasn't technically spot on, it was about as close as any mortal can get lol 👍
Secondly the drums are freakin perfect. AVH would be proud. I like the combo of the electric toms & acoustic snare, bass & cymbals. Just like on the original 1986 recording, and Alex's setup for the 5150 tour.
The keyboard, and vocals were also amazing.
I really tried to find something wrong with this cover, and found nothing! Absolutely incredible job by all! 👍🤘
The snare tone is perfect. Great job guys!
fuck yeah on those vocals. damn. well done.
The lead singer absolutely nails it!
Not really. Yes, he hit those high notes but he sounded very thin, almost like Axl Rose. I know a few people who can sing that high but also sounded thin like that, me included 😅. But haven't met anyone who can sound like Sammy Hagar and sing the whole song without sounding fatigued and pitchy towards the middle.
He nailed it, as far as staying in key, and the highs are definitely NOT an issue, but he needs some deepness to his vocals.
Not like I could do any better lol
He would probably NAIL Rush!!
“Thank you Power Rangers”
To whoever understands the reference
genoves66 power rangers? Bulk & skull lol
Christian Sheppard PR movie ending with the fireworks
genoves66 I know lol I was just referencing a line from that particular scene when this song started to play lol
Fred: "Fred Kelman, the Gold Ranger!
Jason: "Oh no, get out kid!"
genoves66 mighty morphans forever ♾
Y’all definitely made Eddie proud. God bless y’all.
Doubt it. He died
Narrator: "But Eddie was not proud of their lackluster talents. Not at all. Because Eddie played it all live. Not overdubbed and digitally corrected"
It’s not just your playing, but your presence and facial expressions reminds me of a young EVH. RIP Eddie
This guy on vocals is amazing. Bring more covers with him.
If I closed my eyes - I can imagine a bit of Geddy Lee (1979 - 1985) singing this version - great cover.
Or the guy from Rock Star
You guys certainly did him proud. Rest in peace, Eddie, and thanks for sharing your Dreams.
Great job by all involved but it makes it that more amazing how effortlessly sounding Sammy is when nailing these vocals (including over and over and over again live), never sounding nasally. One of the all-time greats for sure.
This cover literally made me cry.
We miss you, EVH!
BEST Dreams cover EVER.
100% agree..
Oh man... I'm so sorry for you.
@@datguitarplayer1656 Who?
Finding this after EVH's passing. Such a good cover.
My thoughts exactly, on both sentences!
RIP EVH 🌹
Much 💜 to everyone from Ontario, Canada
This is without a doubt the best cover of Dreams on RUclips! 10* stars. Most importantly you guys got the sound and tone within 99%. This is of Marc Martel quality.
Wow! Excellent cover guys!
Major respect to the vocalist.
Unbelievable!
Great job !! Great job on capturing the sounds of VH.. Even then drums snare punch that Alex has a market on ;)
La música está idéntica, felicidades
Eddie would be looking down feeling so proud of you guys. RIP Eddie, the greatest guitarist the world had.
Not all heroes wear capes. I probably watch this once every six months, and will for the rest of my life. Easily my favorite version of my favorite song not blessed by King Ed himself. Thanks for this, fellas.
Wooooooooow!!!!! This is the BEST cover of “Dreams”!!!!! Same feeling of the original Van Halen’s track! Thank you guys!
Check out SingitLive's version: ruclips.net/video/pGv97-ngMCE/видео.html
Excellent cover of one of my favorite Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen songs. I wore out two cassette tapes of the "5150" album. Thank God for CDs!
RIP Eddie Van Halen. True legends never really die.
Ok I keep watching this video over and over again and am blown away ever time! Sal’s voice is perfectly suited for this song! His range is awesome! I love the expressions on Luke’s face while he’s shredding Eddies licks and lead! And Josh is just having tons of fun playing the keys, bass and drums! Rock on boys! 👊
Magnificent performance! The sound and style and cadence is so close to the original song....wow! No one can sound exactly like Sammy Hagar, but Sal Abate has been the closest so far.
Spot on. The best VH cover I have ever seen hands down.
Why is my eyes sweating? Thank u guys for this! Longlive Eddie
I'm totally taken aback by your video... Wow! This was one of my favorite songs when I was younger. It was the first song I wanted to play when I was learning how to play the drums. It took me a long time, but I eventually got it. My HS boyfriend and I, together with our other friends, played this during a school event. He had really long, straight, shiny hair- And I, on the other hand, had super short hair. Boy, I miss those days. Now, I'm in my 40's and suffer from multiple sclerosis due to lesions in my spinal cord and my brain. I can hardly write or type, let alone play the drums. That's why I love videos like this one. It feels good to reminisce. Thanks so much for sharing. Sending you positive thoughts of love and support from the beautiful Philippine Islands...
Sincerely,
Francine Hope Drilon @};---
Kudos to the singer on this song. I can't even imagine trying to sing that song.
"-Thanks to Power Rangers ...
-what ? No no thanks to Bulk and Skull !!"
So epic 😂 I love this movie so much !
Incredible rendition
RIP EDDIE!!!
man.. just no words.. infreakingcredible... the music is spot on. One would think its the original recording. Lead vocals are great too, but it is so hard to match Hagar step for step.. Kudos to everyone!!
Great job by all involved. Love the fact the drummer got that signature Alex Van Halen snare drum sound. That snare sound is as much a part of the Van Halen sound. As Eddie's guitar is.
This is still by far the best cover of Dreams.
There's so much to love about this video!! From having Mario López on guitars, drumer/bassist/keyboardist that looks like a young Eddie, Borat on the wall to an impecable voice performance!! All in one of the greatest songs ever made!
Great job guys!
Superb 🙏. A total masterpiece. Everyone on point. Everyone on que. A great great performance.
Stumbled across this cover in 2024... incredible cover of an amazing song! Well done lads!
See Eddie, your music will live forever
May your soul rest in eternal peace
61 thumbs down? I guess Roth's been here 61 times! Incredible job guys!
Public influence bots designed to force algorithms to show people what they think they might want to see...
🤣😂🤣😂 dickhead dave at it again
61 thumbs down via the vocals. Yeah.
Or has 61 different accounts.🤔
I knew it was him because one of the screen names was Humala bebuhla zeebuhla bop@ yahoo.com
Парни творят чудеса!
You, guys, are rock-monsters!!! Keep da going!
And Sammy recently stated this was the only song he 'cheated' on... it was too high for him to sing.. This guy nailed it!. All of you did.. .BY FAR the best "Dreams" cover I've heard to date. Eddie would be proud guys!
*WOW!!! THAT VOICE MAN! DRUMS!!! GUITAR!!! BASS!!! THAT JUST KICKED ASS!!*
GREAT JOB!!!
Absolutely stellar cover!!! The Gallagher brothers did an incredible job with all the instruments and the mix is fantastic. Sal Abates vocals put this straight over the top for me. My god this guy can sing his ass off!! Amazing job guys.
There Exists, No possible reason, whatsoever, in the entire universe and beyond, that this particular cover of Dreams, Could ever, even be considered, for a thumbs down. Huh, and yet, there are 9 of them. Hmmm
It's what jealous people do.
Thumbs down? Yeah Wtf? - if only they could do a better job....i doubt it. I would never mark a thumbs down without being able to do the whole job better, these people should need to prove they can do better or don’t comment. It was the best recording ive heard since the original well done.
It's called jealousy, plain and simple.................if you cannot appreciate that, there is unquestionably and definitely somehing wrong with you!
I can't tell the difference between these amazing guys and the real Van Halen. They're great!!!!!😊
Wow... excellent cover.. EVH was the King... RIP EVH.. he is gone but not forgotten..
Wow! Absolutely mind blowing talent gentlemen! Normally, I stay away from watching covers of Van Halen songs because there's so many on RUclips that dont do justice to this incomparable legendary band but you guys are incredible! I wish you much success in whatever musical endeavors you all pursue. Talent this good should be rewarded handsomely. Keep rocking guys!
Perfect cover!!! Best cover I've ever seen of the Van Hagar era and best cover I've ever seen without the people having to use the recording of Sammy Hagar's voice!!
Great tribute too a ledgendary
Edward van Halen you can be proud❤😊 Alex Will be smilling now😊 youre voice looks like Sammy hagar great show you guys i never forget Edward van Halen RIP 1955-2020i miss his guitar riffs en shows he was a great performer but ledgends never Die not for me because when he see you performance this cover i now he be smilling✌️👍🏻
I agree with many of the other commenters. This version is so good, so respectful to the original, that it put a lump in my throat at the end. Thumbs-up to all involved, and thanks for putting a smile on my face.
Such a great cover - true to the original on every instrument!
Unbelievable! The BEST cover to Dreams I've ever heard. I looked away from the screen and I could not tell the difference then if Eddie and Sammy were in my phone. I am a huge Van Halen fan and you guys nailed it! Well done fellas!!
It's probably the number 1 covered song of dreams by Van Halen, good job guys, thumbs up!!
Master Eddie is smiling from above nice 😀 👍
Parabéns amo Van Halen perfeito
RIP EVH...my music man forever....😢😢😢😭
Eddie Van Halen was a master of using the whammy bar. It might as well have just been another set of frets on the fretboard for him. The guitar work on this captures that excellently. Good job on everybody’s part.
Amazing Job , very talented musicians and an awesome singer.Incredible cover.
That was amazing and I know for sure if eddie was alive to see this. He would be proud of this cover and respect to the vocalist for nailing this song cause my throat hurt just trying to sing this song all along
Good to see that there are still some young musicians left. Great job boys!
Great jam cover, outstanding vocals , well done !👍
Phenomenal job guys. It is awesome how much fun playing music is. Hats off to you
Oh man! You chaps are brilliant, love the vocals, amazing. Keep them coming, you're fantastic!
There's a certain soul to this song. Singing it in this key makes both of you distant relatives.
Fantastic🎉🎉🎉🎉🌟🌟🌟
This cover nails what made Van Halen so great
LOve it. The younger generation knowing what Rocks all about!
Van Halen would be proud, especially Sammy Hagar!! Great job guys!!!
Still come back to see and hear these guys utterly destroy this song! One of the best, if not the best, covers! Superb performance all around. And true to the original sound production! 👊🇨🇦
Outstanding performance!
This popped up into my feed again today and I must have watched it like six or more times in a row. Excellent job all around, love it!
Got a little moisture under the eyes during that final solo ngl. Beautiful cover ❤️
Yes he killed the end best ups to the vocalistt
I played these songs side by side and almost heard no difference. I’m astounded by how well this was done.
Unfucking believable… These guys are on point and I would actually pay money to go see them. The lead singer sings a little bit higher than Sammy but they are all so on point… Bravo guys… Bravo👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼♥️♥️
I've been a VH kook/musician for 40 years ...this was totally killer!! Well done y'all 🤘Nice to see and great to hear ✌
Shout out the guys on guitar! Y’all SHREDDED!
OMG! You guys are the 80s’ time machine 💗
It was flat out perfect. The only thing I missed was Sammy's gravelly voice, but there's a reason why he's been one of the top performers for 50 years. There's almost no one who can do it the way he does. Outstanding job by everyone.
Now this puts a smile on my face... the energy, the perfomance, it was beautiful guys! There's future here! Rock on!
Woooo impresionante, cada nota de Eddie la tocó lo cuál es casi imposible, la voz impresionante los 2 impecables la timbre de voz increíble idéntico y bajo y batería lo mismo en verdad Felicidades Congratulations my friends woow !!!
Excellent effort! Thanks for sharing this on RUclips. Dreams is one of the great Van Halen tracks from the Hagar era. RIP EVH.
Holy shit, you guys were amazing. This is one of my favorite songs, and you guys nailed it PERFECTLY! I like how it showed how much everyone had a fun time playing it too.
Nailed it! Everything down to the snare drum sounds spot on!
