- Sammy Hagar & Eddie Van Halen perform a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.
A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

The best thing about Eddie Van Halen was his smile. His attitude was unbelievable. I cried when he died. No BS. Not ashamed to admit it either.
He died on my birthday I cried for 3 months over that man I've learned many of their songs and play them in my own band cutter Jacksonville
I'll never get over Ed's passing.
Me too
Me too man....
Im 26 and I bawled like a little girl who saw a fish die for the first time
"The King... The King!" - Sam's words at the end of this vid. Once and forever. RIP EVH 1955-2020
"i get to sit down, have a cold one, and listen to the greatest rock and roll guitar player in the world"
💗🎸🙏RIP Eddie Van Halen
Then after this he joined the band the rest is history
One of the kings. Not the king!!
@@andrewfearnley3388 You can plead your case with Sammy. Otherwise... overruled.
Back when they were just having fun and playing rock and roll. Miss those days.
Absolutely
Brian Lucey . YUP.
The "metal pick" is hanging off of Eddie's headstock. Just sayin'.

I love how Eddie smiles, I never seen any guitarist who smiles like him. Rip Eddie....
Most of the time he was just having fun out there. It was almost effortless to him, which is quite different from many other guitar virtuosos of the era.
Man if I could play like that I couldn’t stop smiling either… Nobody like Ed.
smiles because booze and coke 😀
Yes, beside being a guitar god he was also a very handsome guy.
@@Bet-vx3fgIf someone smiles it means it's because of booze and coke? I think you just outed yourself. Get some help.
God, I so miss the 80's...so lucky to have been in my 20's then.
im so old i remember buying VH albums when they first came out on vinyl
Amen brother. Stones Tattoo You 1981!
Me too ❤
The sheer joy Eddie took in playing and being on stage back then is incredible. At the end of that solo, the look on Sammy's face says it all. The King.
Oh yes Eddie was, is and for the eternity the KING. Rest in peace. we love you
God was smiling too.
The smiles on their faces. They look like kids on christmas. Somewhere in there is the very essence of rock and roll.
It was Xmas trusted
The essence was in their souls ! Simply amazing !
I've never seen a guitarist who smiles as much as EVH, it's like he's thinking, "I'm getting paid millions to do my favourite thing in world!!!!!"
Well if you were getting paid millions to be revered by millions then you probably would be pretty happy about it😂
Jimmy Page?
he was and still is 😂😂😂
Sammy would probably smile just as much if he could smile and sing at the same time.
That whats eddie trademark
That off the cuff solo in the song is insane.It's not even a solo it's an extension of the song.It takes the whole song with it.Incredible sound, chops and timing.Killer solo.
Ed had impeccable timing. Always in the pocket
the guitar is a part of eddies arm
@@guitarwhisperer6262 The time in the solo was sloppy. Not Eddie's best.
@@briannotafan3368 The legendary Kramer 5150 guitar was the GOAT. Most will point to the Frankenstrat as VH's greatest guitar, but it was just a testbed that led to the eventual Kramer 5150 design (heavily influenced by the '79 Bumblebee). He used that 5150 guitar from 1983-1989.
@@Fearzero Most of Edward's live solos were sloppy. He wasn't a very technically proficient player. He was more interested in feel. Even the famous Live Without a Net guitar solo had errors in it. It was part of his mystique that he had no problem with "mistakes" while he played. He said it was part of his "noodling" process. lol
I think at Farm Aid he was really nervous stepping out from his Van Halen band comfort zone after the recent exit of Roth. He was still getting a feel for Hagar having his own guitar and being a good singer with a very different style than Dave. He was happy though.
My favorite part is the look on Sammy’s face when Eddie does his fret board tapping at the end of his solo. Listen carefully and you can hear the crowd roaring too. Love it. Rest in Peace EVH. You are missed
Eddie played in key eddie.sam played in the key Sammy jimmy played in the key of jimmy and no one could play them keys even if you could use. there instrument
God was smiling too
Even Sammy was shaking his head after that awesome solo.
It was freaking awesome, watched 10x
And the crazy thing is that it was just a fun and effortless solo for Eddie. Simple stuff to him. That was his normal, everyday riff back in that era but he still made it blend in perfectly with the song. It's like the guitar takes on its own voice when he plays a solo.
Man, he had that guitar by the balls and was spraying happiness everywhere.
Sweet Jesus, Eddie plays that solo so effortlessly just like it was a walk in a park.
He plays the same solo all the time
Eddie effortless wahoo
@@bobjones2041 dumbest comment today and probably tomorrow!
Go Have A Bud lite BOB
@@bobjones2041 page is thinking damn why cant I do that!
I watched this live on tv in 85. Eddie is the only guitar player that still gives me goosebumps. Killer solo.
hahaha
Clearly you havent heard or listened to Slayer!
Slayer 4 Life that’s because they wanted to listen to music and not a bunch of noise.
johnnyguitar65: Ohhhh i see. Clearly you haven't heard or listened to Slayer either
Fancy seeing you here mike lol
2022: This still makes me smile!
This still makes me want to play guitar!
the beginnings of the best era of VH. really messed up how things ended.
Yesss and it's now 2024,🎉😂
History will be much kinder to Sammy Hagar than my generation was.
Eff your generation!!
He did the best he could. The magic was gone when he joined.
I was a Sammy Hagar fan before, during, and after Van Hagar. Fans love original lead singers. Brian Johnson has the same problem.
I’m 24 years old and I love Sammy Hagar. Gonna try and see his band whenever I can.
@@Seabee156 same dude. Love the guys music. Loved him when he was in montrose. Guy deserves a lot of respect
One of the many things I admire about Eddie is how much fun he’s having while performing. He always has a grin from ear to ear. The way he played so effortlessly and the the fact that he was having such a good time while doing it makes him one of if not the best.
So does that buzzard who tries to catch bug Bunny in the legendary cartoon
Their complete joy in making music together told the whole story. Amazing.
Eddie looking like a rock star and Sammy still looking like an aerobics instructor 😁
yeh, right
Alan Currie ha ha ha ha 😎🤪
ha ha ha was the first I though when this page opens...
Is Sammy wearing uggs?
yea but look at who is still DOING it!? hmmm?
When I heard of Eddie Van Halens passing it felt like a punch in the gut. Many happy memories with VH as a soundtrack to carefree kickass fun.

So weird to mourn someone that you’ve never met, yet had a huge impact on your life. Eddie’s passing hit me hard and I’m still not over it. You will always be the best to me. RIP King Edward. You are loved and missed by many brother.
Good God, that was 30 years ago. I'm officially old.
+jrock2264 yea I'm right there with ya bud, that was 2 years after high school FeelsOldMan :D
Yeah, and so are Sammy and Eddie.
time went way too fast
Tell me about it...
Feels just like yesterday.
This is when Sammy first joined before they wrote 5150.
Happy 75th Birthday to Sammy Hagar.
Sammy can hit the high notes like no other.
I think that most people forget is that Eddie has always written all the music. Sammy did not change Van Halen into a softer more pop oriented sound, he allowed Eddie to simply stretch out and write different styles of music that he hadn't written up to that point. Hell 1984 started that movement as it had 3 keyboard tunes. Jump, I'll Wait and the title track 1984) Eddie is an incredible musician and needed to stretch out musically. Sammy allowed it. That's all.
Sammy encouraged him to play more keyboards.
lol.."allowed Eddie to simply stretch out and write different styles of music." Dude with Sammy in ,they became a , little bit loud, pop band. No matter your fancy words. Ain't talkin' bout love to Why can't this be love.
@@moe17moe Shut ur as up a go watch Rogan so u can quote roth's lame ass some more
@Rickus Aurelius well said lol well fn said! EVH is the all around king of rock guitar ever..from the timing of His career to the playing,tone,look,raw song writing etc. the list goes on! love em or hate em He did it His way and put a stamp on human history.
Eddie wrote some of the most iconic keyboard riffs of all time
Eddie was magical here. His solo was perfect, flashy but with tonnes of melody. RIP EVH GOAT 5150. 🙏
The smile on Eddys face priceless
2017 Toro Rosso, you have good taste
The chemistry between them at 1:51 when the beat drops out and Sammy reacts to Eddie's lick...
Even Eddies reaction was like “gahdamn am I good” 😂
You must be a female.
King Ed layin down the law.What a guitar solo,especially at the end,what timing ,it fits the song so perfectly.No one can touch that guy.
Sammy in full 80's cheese. But the man can sing and play.
He squeeles like a pig
Mmm.. I think this song shows he's not that great of a singer.
I thought he was the "Red Rocker "why is he wearing Yellow ??
I’m
@@JoseHerrera-vs8nv he doesn't always wear red. Hey, at least his guitar is red.
I had this song on VHS back in 85 when I was still in high School, thought its one of his best solos Eddie has ever done to this day!!!
Eddie Van Halen is the world best Lead Guitarist in the world. RIP, Eddie Van Halen.
His rhythm playing was amazing too 🎸🎶🎼🎵
That guitar tone is insane!!!!
Sammy Hagars voice has always been so underrated
Sammy always brought it. great voice and stage presence. I saw him the tour before he joined VH and it was unreal. bringing these two legends together certainly worked out for all of us. long live Eddie, one of the most inspirational guitar players ever.
my god, Eddie had so much fun on stage when rocking with his buddies. he is the God of Guitar, the Greatest Of All Time, AND the icon of a rock star. I am so glad I saw them in 1981 on Women And Children First tour in a hall of 2000 people. Eddie was always like this.
Ан, ты права на 💯

I've Loved Sammy Hagar decades before he was ever with Van halen. I see him every time he comes to concert in town and he still rocking it at 75 years old. Rest in peace Eddie Van Halen you will go down in history as one of the best
We used to go see The Red Rocker in San Bernardino all the time before he was in VH, Sammy is an amazing guitar player in his own right.
@@lrh411 I totally agree and one heck of a rock singer😍
I have rewound that guitar lick at the end of his solo over and over again since the 80s and it never fails to give me goosebumps.Sammys reaction says it all.
Absolutely no one, and I mean no one, had the timing of Edward Van Halen. He could go in and out of time on solos and then pull it all right back in the pocket perfectly. He’s at the top of Mount Olympus of Guitarists. RIP and see you on the otherside good sir!
Yes totally like he's falling down a flight of stairs but always lands on his feet
I cannot BELIEVE they cut to commercial in the middle of this song. This still gives me chills to this day!
I had this on shitty VHS tape right after Farm Aid. I had just started playing guitar and after 1984 EVH was my favorite person ever. Of course I was crushed when Roth left VH, so I was craving any sight of my idol. Seeing this totally blew my mind. I also converted this to audio tape and learned most of the riffs. This was my preferred way to play Zeps Rock n Roll!
I was a huge Sammy fan(even bought the HSAS tape).and when I saw this I said man Sammy would be perfect for VH.........
RIP Eddie..!! Thank you for the fun times down at Cabo Wabo with Sammy !!! Great memories for the rest of my life..!!
Saw Sammy and the Circle last night 7-17-2021 at the festival of the lakes, Hammond, Indiana. They rocked and it felt like I traveled back in time. Sammy is awesome and he’s 73 years young. Incredible show.
Rest In Peace to The King if Rock ‘N Roll. Rock in Peace, Eddie ❤️🎸🕊
David Lee Roth has watched this video 355 times...
Haha
He could never sing Zep
Now he has watched it 378 times
Laughing at Hagar' hair the whole time
No he didn't
Eddie in his prime the quintessential rock star - a true guitar hero of his generation brought guitar to a whole new level
I am 55 and have seen a lot of death. Only 2 deaths have drawn tears. My sister, and EVH. And I am not remotely ashamed of it. It's impossible to overstate the influence of this mans music on the entire tapestry of my life. I'm sure thousands agree.
I love how when Eddie finished the solo Sammy just smiled and shook his head in disbelief with how incredible he was, he jams with the man every day and is still blown away with his raw talent.
Sammy, Eddie playing Led Zeppelin...been a DAMN long time 💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for following my page,thank you for the support and love ❤️ I really appreciate you 🥰 I’ll love to honor you by dropping me your personal information for a private conversation if that’s ok by you...❤️
Some people were just meant to be on our World and Eddie is definitely one of them.
I watched this live and freaked out with joy knowing with this performance that VH was gonna be just fine with Sammy.
That tapping trilling sound at the end of the solo and their faces. Respect/love.
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band. This cover pleases me. High energy and pretty tight.
+Blah Playhard Led Zeppelin was horrible live. This is a much better live rendition than any live performance by Led Zeppelin. You should check out Led Zeppelin's live versions of rock and roll. Slow, low energy; Plant doesn't hit any of the high notes; Page is slow, and Bonham is flat. JPJ is the only one decent live. I was a Led Zeppelin's fan based on their studio recordings, but because they are so awful live, over the years, I felt that they were really not good musicians. They were good recording artists. Their few live album, the Song Remains the Same has to be one of the worst live albums of all time, if not the worst live album of all time. Around the same time, Deep Purple was putting out Live In Japan ... now that's a great live album.
Joe Johnston You Sir are a fucking idiot. The 4 members of Zeppelin were great musicians. Not many drummers were better than Bonzo. John Paul Jones could play anything. Plant had an awesome voice and Page is a guitar god. And they were great live. IMO they are the best band to ever grace this planet!
Joe Johnston you're saying that to annoy people, I won't bite
Mmmm...yes and no (agree and disagree)....e.g. the difference between LZ 'Live at Albert Hall 1970' and 'The Song Remains the Same 1973' are marked. The first has life, incredible energy, and rawness to it. The second is bloated and boring, a band that could still kick ass but looks and sounds bored at times, choosing to shine at certain points and but coast through others.
I've read others make the point that LZ was more of a studio band, and after this much time, I'm inclined to agree. It's not that they couldn't 'bring it' live, it's just seems to me that they're best was saved for the albums, esp in the second half of their career.
Arthur Bishop mmmmm. No and No (100% incorrect and 100% incorrect). 1. You said "Led Zeppelin are horrible live" then claimed you thought the performance at the Royal Albert Hall had "life, incredible energy and rawness" so that makes your first statement invalid. 2. Listening to the bootlegs I've got possession of from the 73 tour shows me that they have incredible energy, more creative, more refined and less raw and an aura envied by the other rock bands of the era. The 75 tour bootlegs I own show Jones got even better, Bonham was less technical but packed more punch, Page and Plant had lost their talents for certain gigs due to an excessive Rock n Rock lifestyle but other gigs showed they could still do it with enough cocaine in the system. The 77 tour showed they were not the fresh technically gifted talents they were in the early days and some shows were poor, again due to the rock and roll lifestyle but still gave powerful performances that hit to the core and carried the same aura that drew hundreds of thousands to see them on the tour, some say the 77 gigs are their personal favourites. The gigs of 1980 showed they had toned down considerably and had gone back to basics as the life of excess had caught up with them. Do not forget they were doing 3 hour + shows for the gigs of the 70's, they played every concert with such energy and never held back, so no there was no boredom, the boredom only started to show at knebworth in 79, Pages heroin addiction, Bonhams drinking coupled with loneliness, the death of Plants son. The O2 gig in 2007 was a brilliant gig also. Having said all of that they have been bootlegged more than any other band so the evidence of their god like and at times human attributes will always be here for our listening pleasure, my personal favourites are the 75 gigs because they are the longest. Amazing studio recordings and for the most part the best live band to ever hit the ears. Finally, this performance of rock n roll is not better than ANY of Zeppelins live performances, including the infamous Kashmir blunder, this sounds like cheesy advert music.
This was an awesome day with lots of great bands. It rained most of the day, but Sammy and Eddie made the wait well worth it!
This was the best Farm Aid.17 hours of constant amazement!!!!!!!
I love seeing Sammy and Eddie jamming guitar together
One of the top ten guitarists and vocalists in history. I love Van Hagar 👍
Still one of Eddie's best free flow solos ever
RIP Eddie. The greatest guitarist of all time.
ONE of the greatest.
Don't forget Gilmour, Gibbons,
Page, Beck, Rhodes, Holdsworth, Malmsteen, Hendrix, etc.
Lots of greats to choose from there.
@@davidrichter9164 and Brian May
We all miss Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest Guitar players ever. Rest In Peace Eddie. Gone, but never forgotten.
Sammy should considered as one of the greatest frontman of all time!
Been saying this for years. Voice untouchable
@@tonydegregorio4895 I've always thought Dave Meniketti of Y&T sounded a lot like Sammy and I always liked both bands alot.
@Therin Chilnsford Please not the DLR feud. No need to argue with a man about another man.
@Therin Chilnsford Cuz anytime someone compliments Sammy, someone always has to bring up DLR and how good of a front man he was. Really got old after awhile. They're both great tho.
Robert will always be the best
He always looked so happy to just be playing. Rock on, Edward...
The look on Sammy's face after Eddie's solo is priceless!!!
The amazing Eddie , the crazy , unexplainable , thing about him is his ability to jump in and out of that song with that style he's created and it's melodic and it seems as if it's just to easy. They only come around so often , I'm glad it was in my lifetime. EVH-R.I.P.
I find it kinda strange yet cool that here he's playing w/ Eddie Van Halen, he was officially announced as VH's new singer shortly after this performance. Sammy was the one that was booked for Farm Aid, he had EVH come out to do this as a encore type last song jam. So, he and EVH are playing a zep jam. And now, Sammy is playing w/ Jason Bonham (for those that don't know, son of John, the drummer of Zep.) w/ his new band "The Circle". I just thought it's kinda cool and strange.
That simply gorgeous grin on Eddie's face....lovin every minute of it....love EVH...🙏❤️🎸
Thanks for following my page,thank you for the support and love ❤️ I really appreciate you 🥰 I’ll love to honor you by dropping me your personal information for a private conversation if that’s ok by you...❤️
Cant believe hes gone😔
That Smile of EVH😔
Glad to see this video. I was there. My friends and I got kicked out for smoking pot 20 minutes before Van Halen came on. We went outside and bought new tickets from scalpers for $2 each What a great night!
Sammy is a beast
What an impressive performance
Was he playing a Dean ML here like the one Dimebag Darell was known for?
@@andyblack5687 yeah he was
@@ivolas247 How cool is that! In the 90s I worked at a guitar store. Dean must have quit making these for a while because we were selling Washburn brand guitars and they had the official Dimebag Darell guitar that looked almost like the ML. Similar crazy looking headstock. It was wild man. Action wasn’t that great but I’m sure it could have been set up better by someone with skills.
Give him credit. He could sing and play a guitar on par with Eddie.
The coolest thing about Eddie is how distinguished his sound is. He could be playing any song and it's unmistakably him.
It's always the same exact bag of screech, whinnies, tapping, howls, divebombs in random order
@@bobjones2041 Well, that’s true actually.
I don't think that any new or current bands could hang with these guys. Man this was great, Eddie was always fun to watch. Never a dull or boring moment when he had a guitar in his hands. 🚬🎸
I was so excited that Sammy joined VH after Dave left. I could not wait to hear what they were going to sound like, I was fan of both VH and Sammy. 6 months after this, we got the album 5150, one of their best with Sammy at vocal. Too bad the magic didn't last. Ed and Alex have their version of what happened, but Sammy's book sounds like the real version.
A man's guitar is made of Valyrian steel.
I was around back in the day but just finished watching Sammy Hagar's 1985 Farm Aid. Now this. I am only now realizing what a cool deal it was to have Sammy in Van Halen.
I was there!!!
My friends & I were on the field, about 25 yards from the stage. Great show, and seeing Eddie & Sammy jam together live in public for one of the first times was awesome. I remember the camera even caught Valerie who was back in the wings smiling, and when they showed her on the big screen everyone went “hey, look!” and cheered.
Epic day of fantastic music. Still have the ticket stub and a whole lotta memories.
Always thought it a shame they didn’t incorporate more of Hagar’s guitar in Van Halen. I’ve seen them jam on some solos together and it’s pretty cool.
The king is gone,but he's not forgotten.
Eddie and Sammy were a classic bromance. Eddie was finally able to be himself, and he couldn't keep the smile off his face with Sammy around (until much later). This raw version of Rock and Roll is great.
Back in the days when auto tune hasn't been invented yet. RIP, EVH.....
I remember staying up late to watch this on Farm Aid. Sammy was doing a lot of cussin' on live TV. When they got to the guitar solo at the end (instead of Led Zep's drum solo), we thought that was so cool. Then the announcer did a cutaway in the middle of it to earlier in the day to hear Merle Haggard singing Okie from Muskogee. We went nuts.
Michael Allen I remembered rumour was circling that Sammy will be joining VH and after witnessing this clip at the time i knew the mighty VH will be back assaulting with a vengeance! 👊
There will be no other like him. Simply the greatest. He wrote great music along with his incredible guitar solos. Everybody says Hendrix was the greatest, but, Eddie took it so much further. May he rest in peace. Will miss him dearly.
will never forget the first time I saw this... Bless you EVH. And miss you Sammy Hagar! The Circle is Bad Ass.
Eddie always walked the tightrope... the end of the solo - you think he's farked up the timing but no, he absolutely nails it and it's spot on perfect. Incredible. Never has there been a player with his sense of swing and rhythm.
how could anyone give this a thumbs down?? One of the greatest solos I've ever heard Eddie rip!!!
Thanks for following my page,thank you for the support and love ❤️ I really appreciate you 🥰 I’ll love to honor you by dropping me your personal information for a private conversation if that’s ok by you...❤️
Thanks for the magic Eddie. We'll never forget you😢🤟🏻🤟🏻
It is a true testament to the mighty Led Zeppelin on much a massive band like Van Halen could be reduced to a bunch of “kids” rocking out to one of their favorite songs from a band they grew up with and admired.
This concert aired 4 days after I bought my first guitar, and I almost put it down after watching Edward fly through this. I'm glad I continued playing. Edward, you and Jimi made me want to pick up the instrument in the first place!
They looked like great friends. Sad ending to a friendship
What happened ?
Reese Tailer you know Sammy had a successful solo career before he joined VH right? 🙄
Eddie drank to much and kinda ruined a lot of relations he had with people. Thankfully he’s sober now
One of the greatest band out thier.Eddie is incredible sammy is talented.Thiers never going to be a band like them.
George Sander Iron Maiden isn’t bad dude.
sammy has the pipes!
D1dSheDie I sing just as good or better than Sammy and I can't get a break
He's past 70 and still has pipes
The great 80s. When music was still good. Such a great decade
I was there, they melted my face!
Long live the King!
Always liked Sammy's singing. :)
Great singer, and bigger range than Roth. Van Halen wasn't as limited with Hagar.
This was EXACTLY 10 years before I was born! Amazing!
You talk guitar player was fun to watch that was Eddie Van Halen his guitar playing was out of this world, one of the best rock guitarist to ever live, just rock God,RIP Eddie Van Halen, Gone but never forgotten😢😎🎸🙏😇😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘
It was a happier time back then when we worshipped musicians and Eddie was a massive part of our lives as an innovator and master of guitar
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen. He was my favourite guitarist of all time.
I love that "Kramer!" That is the best sounding guitar he has ever had.... I wish he would copy it and sell it now that he has his own guitar company!
bo Zep That's because Edward was playing it! He's mentioned many times in interview that the Kramer was too bright and never used in a recording environment.
Alex Van Hagar, when I say it is his best sounding guitar I am comparing it to other guitars HE played... and second, young grass hoppaw, you need to read your Van Halen trivia. He used that guitar for most of the 1984 record, most of the 5150 record, most of ou812 record and and one song in the FUCK album. Read guitar world from march 2016. So, that guitar was used in the studio extensively...
bo Zep sorry...my mistake i should've known better. The only song he ever used to record with the 5150 Kramer was Judgement Day but it was only for preproduction. He never recorded with that Kramer. If you own the VH Encyclopedia written by my friend CJ Chilvers and flip to page 84 (if i remember correctly)
Alex Van Hagar, check it out. The interviewer asked what guitar he used to record 1984. Here is Eddie's exact reply:
Was the Frankenstein still your main guitar in the studio on that album?
I had actually retired the Frankenstein by then. I’m pretty sure I used the Kramer 5150 guitar the most on that album-“Panama,” “Girl Gone Bad,” “House of Pain,” the solos on “Jump” and “I’ll Wait.”
wolfgang model wasnt around till the 90s
I was there!!! September 22, 1985 ❤️
They seemed quite happy together, and Sammy has the most wonderful smile as he moves away from Eddie after the solo, reacting just like a fan in the crowd.
