And I dare to say that it's also the best one from that era. It's just PERFECT. Amazing rhythm work by Eddie with some of his best riffs, of course the solo is out of this world too. And talkin about rhythm Alex is on fire, and live versions always sound twice as good. In this video you can hear Mike's simple yet powerful bass line, and damn he never loses a beat, even while singing harmonies. Sammy was on fire on the whole 5150 record, and was an amazing showman who filled Dave's shoes with no problems. I prefere the Live without a Net version, but this is pure gold too
I’ll argue this to my grave, this right here was the pinnacle of Van Halen. Sammy brought so much to the band, amazing vocals, and everyone genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. This band will NEVER be replicated, I’m eternally grateful that I got to experience the entire Van Hagar era in all of its magnificent glory!!
Dave’s period was important too. It’s just hard to pin point an era and say it was the best. That performance where they played Poundcake at the awards sums it up tho. Sammy was on the mike. This was a great solo.
@@pinkiewerewolf yeah Sammy was gonna tour with Night Ranger AND Whitesnake, but then covid hit and ruined everything, including our favorite nearby airsoft arena.
These band members look how they sound, full of energy, and always smiling. They played as if they were performing for a bunch of friends in a big ass back yard. Thank you Van Halen 👏👏👏👏
To me, the energy is the difference between Van Halen with Dave v Sammy. Just see what those two are doing today. Sammy has a passion for life. Dave has a passion for Dave.
Exactly right! They play like a bunch of guys playing for their friends and having the time of their lives! I’m so blessed to have experienced them live over the years.
That solo is so surreal it honestly brings tears to my eyes. One of the greatest things ever to be captured on film. Eddie was able to demonstrate what it means to be a human. Period.
It is usually over dubbed vocally. Ed is in standard 440 tuning here so Sammy has to work hard to keep in key. This version is 100% live. 5150 is a masterpiece in writing a perfect(no such thing really in Rock and Roll) song. Ed has had so much impact on me as a guitarist, it is crazy.
I just blew the f'n door off my bedroom! My son was "Who is that'? I replied "Greatest fucking band EVER"! Now my son is rocking all my VH albums! you got a new fan. Sammy thanks so much , many memories flooding in . # theCircle
Eddie Alex and Michael and Sammy were absolutely hands-down in their prime during this time. You could tell they enjoyed what they were doing, and he couldn’t wipe that smile off his face during the whole show. I love this era of rock ‘n’ roll music. Best times of all. Rock ‘n’ roll comes and goes, but it will never die… We love you Eddie
One their absolute best albums! They genuinely looked happy and fed off eachother. Sammy brought so much love and joy to the band and fans.🤙🏾We miss you Eddie!!!
Your Unboxed album will always bring me the best memories. I was a lucky kid and got a 1987 Conquest TSI sports car when I was in high school (1995). I drove around listening to Unboxed on cassette tape!
My dad got me into Van Halen with the 5150 album in the mid-80's. He also had Unboxed, which made me really appreciate Sammy even more. I love the Van Halen album "Live: Right Here, Right Now" with Sammy playing Give to Live. Love that song! I heard he did Eagle's Fly on other nights. Wish I could've seen that!
Remember the day this came out , it was so perfect. Just a perfect moment in time , to have been 18 on top of the world with best fuckin soundtrack ever ✌️👊🎸 Thank you for this upload brother 👊
Yup. I was 19 or 20 and can remember exactly where I was when I first heard Why Can't This Be Love on the radio. Went, hmmm... this could be a cool record.
Was at the Live Without a Net show that was filmed in New Haven when I was 15 and Ive never looked back! Best song to blow out your speakers right here! VH🤟🏼
It's long overdue to give the Sammy era a deluxe reissue, there's obviously some fantastic live recordings that could go with it. I'm sure it's up to Alex at this point but maybe it's too late. Man I loved the 5150 era
My favorite VH riff. Raises the hair just like the first time I heard it when the album dropped. Back when kids had new music to look forward to. Man I was so lucky to have been a teenager in the 80’s. I really do feel sorry for these kids today.
I remember in 1990 going to a record store in Staten Island and buying a bootleg VHS copy of the Japanese TV broadcast of the entire concert, complete with commercials. Watched it over and over. Amazing performance.
Thank you for posting. "5150" is my favorite Van Halen song. It gets me so pumped! The energy on the stage is insane. The "Live Without a Net" version of this song is the best, imo, but this one is also great. Love you guys! VH is the one constant in my life. RIP EVH.
This one has the better guitar solo, the other one’s ok, just ok by Eddie standards, but this one makes the hairs on the back of the head stand on end, he’s really toying with the beat here, totally unpredictable, syncopated angular phrases into long flowing legato passages, fuck it’s so good.
“ Meet Jane Hathaway!” 😂 God, this was the greatest time of my life. I live in the moment but these memories are eff’in priceless. ❤️ The guys were having so much fun and the interaction with the audience is amazing.
Loved every minute of that concert!! I was a senior in HS. Went to every VH tour since Sammy joined. Just saw Sammy and the Circle at The FL Strawberry Festival ( Mike knocked it out of the park with Ain’t Talkin Bout Love….Still rockin’. 36 years after reinventing VH!! A true testament to the longevity and relevance of a Great Frontman that shares the stage with his band mates and the audience. Hope to see you at your birthday bash!!
I listened to Van Halen since I was a little kid in the early 1980s. Eddie inspired me to pick up a guitar. Sammy is the best singer they had, and Michael Anthony defined the VH vocal sound across all singers. I bought the 5150 tape when I was like 8 years old from a music store at the mall under the World Trade Center in NYC. I regretfully never got to see Van Halen live. Ever. I wish I could turn the clock back and actually go see at least one show from this timeframe. These were the best years. 5150 is my favorite album of theirs. But the whole catalog brings back so many memories from my youth!
At that time, I was at the scene! good old days. The opening is surely There ’s Only One Way To Rock It was! Eddie's 5150 godly guitar was awesome. Thank you for living in the same age as Eddie. Thank you Eddie! .. From Japanese fans.
I was fortunate enough to see the original lineup of VH in 1984, and then seven more times up until 2015. Videos cannot convey how good they really were and how incredible it was to actually watch and hear Edward play in person for 1.5 to 2 hrs. 👍🏻😎
Saw them in ‘82, then a couple of times after ‘86. With Dave, they gave a stunning performance, but in a two-dimensional way. We were the audience, they were the spectacle. With Sammy, it was three dimensional. No distance between the audience and the band, like a small club vibe while at the same time being the most enormous event. Sammy brought out a quality in every aspect of Van Halen that they could never have gotten with Dave. Would love to hear your thoughts.
@@scottstedeford7575 Well, I’m a fan of both eras. That being said, I really didn’t notice those subtle crowd nuances. I was too busy partying with my friends and watching the show. The crowd was always very enthusiastic and screaming at every VH show I ever attended. 👍🏻😎
That is a 1 great high quality video.. 5150 is a great song .. very oriiginal .. and some great riff changes... Eddie sounds great .. and looks he is on top of his game here.
My God, man. I remember this coming out when I was in college. It was one of the first CDs I ever bought when I got a CD player. And, it was a CD I kept in my car when I got my 1st sports car with a CD player. Friggin top notch rock music to cruise down the interstates, not to mention have at parties, jam solo air guitar at home by yourself, or about any other occasion that calls for the best rock. Love it, man. Happy anniversary to you and Mikey, Sammy. Hope to catch you very soon. Peace and love, man.
I LOVED this version of VH. I saw multiple shows at the Centrum in Worcester MA. Off the charts!! The fun these guys were having wasn't faked as far as I could tell. Alex was just killing those drums and the energy was crazy. I'd give anything to see this live again..👍 When I heard that VH teamed up with Sammy, all I could think of was "Why didn't this happen sooner!"
This was such a good time for Van Halen. Eddie was so happy & you can tell with this performance he was standing on top of the world. RIP Eddie, The music world will never forget you ❤️
This was VH at their peak for sure. Sammy hitting those crazy high notes and all over the stage, Ed is fired up and smiling ear to ear 4:50 loving every note, Mikey moving around like he's in a bouncy-house and hitting that insane note at the the end 5:55, and the look on Alex's face 6:09 sums it up. Rock & Roll Synergy at its highest.
MY FAVORITE ERA EVER OF VAN HALEN AKA VAN HAGAR! LOL. SAMMY IS A GOOD DUDE. COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE OF DAVID LEE ROTH. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. THE DUDE IS IN HIS 70'S AND STILL TO THIS DAY, HE'S STILL PERFORMING LIKE HE WAS WHEN HE WAS 30!! I'D LOVE TO EAT AT ONE OF HIS RESTAURANTS AND GO TO CABO WABO!!!
Great video drop! In doing some comparisons today, this upload looks MUCH CLEANER than previous uploads of this concert. Also, this version has Sammy missing a few high notes compared to previous versions ( which is totally okay-it's LIVE and raw, like it should be ). Finally, Edward's guitar sound has way more " meat " to it in the mix. And, Mike's bass is more prominent as well ( especially during Ed's solo ). Makes me wonder just what is hiding in Sam's/Mike's/ Van Halen's vaults ( haha )!
Eddie's solo here was even more musical that the album's. One of the most musical Eddie live solos I think I've ever heard. This whole performance by everyone is just phenomenal.
Gotta say as a High schooler in '86-'87 this was an epic of the time! Hot Summer Nights was my jam, I had a motorcycle and money! What a time in my life!
Brings a tear to the eye. Awesome stuff, what a song, what a band, what a time. Yes Mikey, 'firing on all cylinders' indeed!!! Come back to Australia Sammy. Please.
One of the most underrated songs of the Van Hagar era.
And I dare to say that it's also the best one from that era. It's just PERFECT. Amazing rhythm work by Eddie with some of his best riffs, of course the solo is out of this world too. And talkin about rhythm Alex is on fire, and live versions always sound twice as good.

Sammy was on fire on the whole 5150 record, and was an amazing showman who filled Dave's shoes with no problems. I prefere the Live without a Net version, but this is pure gold too
It’s musically probably their best effort.
without a doubt one of Ed's best compositions and some of Alex's most blistering and challenging drum fills ever.
And my favorite song from the album
The best
Possibly the greatest riff of all time! :) Man, they were at the top of their game here!
agree.
one of the best riff ever.
no doubt one of his best compositions for sure.
I’ll argue this to my grave, this right here was the pinnacle of Van Halen. Sammy brought so much to the band, amazing vocals, and everyone genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. This band will NEVER be replicated, I’m eternally grateful that I got to experience the entire Van Hagar era in all of its magnificent glory!!
Sammy rules dave head so big just a gigalo
Sam Hagar bite's the weiners he can't jump his voice sounds like a whiny cat,I never liked him at all
Dave’s period was important too.
It’s just hard to pin point an era and say it was the best.
That performance where they played Poundcake at the awards sums it up tho.
Sammy was on the mike.
This was a great solo.
@@hockeyhelps3910 Oh absolutely!!! The Dave era was magical as well.
Same here. No argument from me. Got to experience it myself.
I’m in my 60’s and have been lucky enough to see Van Halen 6 times both with Dave and Sammy. I’m now turning my grandkids on to VH
Keeping the music alive. Awesome brother! 👍
yeah well I'm in my teens and haven't seen anyone live yet.
@@Samfan4Films777 Covid didn't help your concert situation.
@@pinkiewerewolf yeah Sammy was gonna tour with Night Ranger AND Whitesnake, but then covid hit and ruined everything, including our favorite nearby airsoft arena.
@@Samfan4Films777 That blows. One of my best friends owns a paintball course, it took a hit but survived.
Musically I don’t think there is a better Van Halen song from any era or decade than this one.
Mean Street, Fair Warning,
@@scottmaxwell9929definitely a classic VH Song but not nearly as complicated musically than Fitty-Won-Fitty
Maybe Poundcake?
These band members look how they sound, full of energy, and always smiling. They played as if they were performing for a bunch of friends in a big ass back yard. Thank you Van Halen 👏👏👏👏
Yes! The best. I miss those days and Eddie so much. Best guitar rock music ever.
To me, the energy is the difference between Van Halen with Dave v Sammy. Just see what those two are doing today. Sammy has a passion for life. Dave has a passion for Dave.
Exactly right! They play like a bunch of guys playing for their friends and having the time of their lives! I’m so blessed to have experienced them live over the years.
跳ね回って楽しそうに難なくギターを弾きまくるエディーに沢山の元気を貰いました。ありがとう！！エディー・ヴァン・ヘイレン永久であれ😊
That solo is so surreal it honestly brings tears to my eyes. One of the greatest things ever to be captured on film. Eddie was able to demonstrate what it means to be a human. Period.
Best Van Halen right here!!!!!! Sam, sad that this time has ended but I'm so happy to see you and Mike out there still rockin!! Peace!!
I got this show on VHS tape back in 1990 & this is the cleanest version I have seen! Happy anniversary 5150!!!!
Definitely the cleanest I have heard as well!
@@soundofwinter Yup! Awesome stuff!!!
It is usually over dubbed vocally. Ed is in standard 440 tuning here so Sammy has to work hard to keep in key. This version is 100% live. 5150 is a masterpiece in writing a perfect(no such thing really in Rock and Roll) song. Ed has had so much impact on me as a guitarist, it is crazy.
You have this concert on VHS ???
I just blew the f'n door off my bedroom! My son was "Who is that'? I replied "Greatest fucking band EVER"! Now my son is rocking all my VH albums! you got a new fan. Sammy thanks so much , many memories flooding in . # theCircle
Love it 😂!
This is the one song that captures everything good about the Van Hagar era. It's a perfect song.
Eddie Alex and Michael and Sammy were absolutely hands-down in their prime during this time. You could tell they enjoyed what they were doing, and he couldn’t wipe that smile off his face during the whole show. I love this era of rock ‘n’ roll music. Best times of all. Rock ‘n’ roll comes and goes, but it will never die…
We love you Eddie
Yes all were smiling and Eddie looked happy .
Four legends at the top of their game! Moments like this are gone too soon.
The whole band is on fire!! So great!!
The man, the myth, the legend, the guitar god... Eddie Van Halen. Thank you Sam. Thank you.
One their absolute best albums! They genuinely looked happy and fed off eachother. Sammy brought so much love and joy to the band and fans.🤙🏾We miss you Eddie!!!
So cool, Sammy, brings back a lot of fond memories of those days. God, I love that sound!
DLR really had nothing on You Sammy, and Yours and Mikey's vocals TOP NOTCH in V.H.
Playing this, at first I felt sad that this era has gone... but then I remembered how *good* this music makes me feel! 🇬🇧
Your Unboxed album will always bring me the best memories. I was a lucky kid and got a 1987 Conquest TSI sports car when I was in high school (1995). I drove around listening to Unboxed on cassette tape!
My dad got me into Van Halen with the 5150 album in the mid-80's. He also had Unboxed, which made me really appreciate Sammy even more.

The 87 Conquest TSI is a Super Cool Car !
You were a lucky kid!
Even lucky enough to get Unboxed on cassette.
Michael Anthony's scream right near the end was out of this world 😆
Is a dream ..and was a dream sing ! HE HAVE A GOOD VOICE ALSO🍁👍❣️🍀🍀🍀🍀
Remember the day this came out , it was so perfect. Just a perfect moment in time , to have been 18 on top of the world with best fuckin soundtrack ever ✌️👊🎸
Thank you for this upload brother 👊
Yup. I was 19 or 20 and can remember exactly where I was when I first heard Why Can't This Be Love on the radio. Went, hmmm... this could be a cool record.
Yep. I was a senior in high school when 5150 was released, and a senior in college for Carnal Knowledge. What great times.
Yo Sammy! Cheers from Oh-Hi-Oh! So cool of you to share clips from this legendary era of VH’s history!
Does not get any better than that....peak VH, peak rock....
5150 is possibly my favorite VH song, and it is so powerful live. Sadly, I never saw it performed myself in person.
one of my favorite albums of all time.
Agree 👍
The best ever
Was at the Live Without a Net show that was filmed in New Haven when I was 15 and Ive never looked back! Best song to blow out your speakers right here! VH🤟🏼
Just received the DVD for the show. How awesome it was!
It's long overdue to give the Sammy era a deluxe reissue, there's obviously some fantastic live recordings that could go with it. I'm sure it's up to Alex at this point but maybe it's too late. Man I loved the 5150 era
Van Halen Sammy Hagar years box set . I would buy it in. A heartbeat
Your wish has come true!
What a song, what an era. A band absolutely at the top of their game. Miss the 80's. Great memories. Cheers Sammy.
My favorite VH riff. Raises the hair just like the first time I heard it when the album dropped. Back when kids had new music to look forward to. Man I was so lucky to have been a teenager in the 80’s. I really do feel sorry for these kids today.
It's up to us to educate them and keep the real music alive🎉❤🤟🎶
I remember in 1990 going to a record store in Staten Island and buying a bootleg VHS copy of the Japanese TV broadcast of the entire concert, complete with commercials. Watched it over and over. Amazing performance.
プレーも若々しく気持ちがいい！！
青春をありがとう！
Greatest Riff of all time Period No one came close Damn Eddie Miss you man
Thank you for posting. "5150" is my favorite Van Halen song. It gets me so pumped! The energy on the stage is insane. The "Live Without a Net" version of this song is the best, imo, but this one is also great. Love you guys! VH is the one constant in my life. RIP EVH.
100% agree. I love everything from Van Halen, but this song is one of those I never get tired of, and in my top 5 for sure
This one has the better guitar solo, the other one’s ok, just ok by Eddie standards, but this one makes the hairs on the back of the head stand on end, he’s really toying with the beat here, totally unpredictable, syncopated angular phrases into long flowing legato passages, fuck it’s so good.
OMG! LOVED Van Hagar!!! Your best Sammy and the hair then! That grin of Eddie's, such a kid on that stage!
WOOOHOOOO!!! What a wall of sound!!!
Ed looks like hes having fun this night. Al them crazy drum rolls!
“ Meet Jane Hathaway!” 😂
God, this was the greatest time of my life. I live in the moment but these memories are eff’in priceless. ❤️
The guys were having so much fun and the interaction with the audience is amazing.
The Best time of Van Halen. Eddie and Sammy togheter.
The last scream by Mike is legendary!
I was thinking the same thing,, damn !!
The reason he was in the band . He could sing (really sing) and solid bass player . They shafted him .
Watch the live without a net version and sammy does the scream. It's even better.
Sammy needs to put this in the Van Halen set this summer!!
And he did !
Insane that Sammy was 42 years old here. He was rocking harder than bands half his age
Loved every minute of that concert!! I was a senior in HS. Went to every VH tour since Sammy joined. Just saw Sammy and the Circle at The FL Strawberry Festival ( Mike knocked it out of the park with Ain’t Talkin Bout Love….Still rockin’. 36 years after reinventing VH!!

Game changer and tone chaser. Easily one of the most sexy riffs ever. Long live the king!
Was just watching eddie live this morning..always a good day to remember him🤘🏼 thank you for the good times VAN HALEN

Can't wait to see some of the guys this summer!

No human can play thiese guitar parts like this, no one.
This song was so underrated. This was definitely Van Halen's hay day.
We would love to see this whole show released! You guys were on Top of The World...wait...You still are!!!
Look up 'Live Without a Net' VH concert from New Haven CT. They jammed that night.
This was VH at their peak for sure. Sammy hitting those crazy high notes and all over the stage, Ed is fired up and smiling ear to ear 4:50 loving every note, Mikey moving around like he's in a bouncy-house and hitting that insane note at the the end 5:55, and the look on Alex's face 6:09 sums it up. Rock & Roll Synergy at its highest.
Best rock n roll band this planet has seen!!!!
My Favorite Van Hagar ALBUM- MY FAVORITE SONG OFF THE ALBUM!!!!AWESOME FOOTAGE!!!! RIP MR. EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!!🎶🎤🎸🥁🎸🎶🌎🇺🇸
Van Halen at its peak. I miss EVH and Rock n Roll.
I will be watching these videos forever. They never get old.
MY FAVORITE ERA EVER OF VAN HALEN AKA VAN HAGAR! LOL. SAMMY IS A GOOD DUDE. COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE OF DAVID LEE ROTH. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. THE DUDE IS IN HIS 70'S AND STILL TO THIS DAY, HE'S STILL PERFORMING LIKE HE WAS WHEN HE WAS 30!! I'D LOVE TO EAT AT ONE OF HIS RESTAURANTS AND GO TO CABO WABO!!!
My favorite song off of the 5150 album....Killin it here with the live version...awesome indeed..
Absolutely the most riveting concert footage with a studio performance for the gods! This is some of the best rock n' roll to ever be performed live!
Great video drop! In doing some comparisons today, this upload looks MUCH CLEANER than previous uploads of this concert. Also, this version has Sammy missing a few high notes compared to previous versions ( which is totally okay-it's LIVE and raw, like it should be ). Finally, Edward's guitar sound has way more " meat " to it in the mix. And, Mike's bass is more prominent as well ( especially during Ed's solo ). Makes me wonder just what is hiding in Sam's/Mike's/ Van Halen's vaults ( haha )!
I think the dude at the board could have raised Sammy's vocals - a tad to low (for me).
That first Sammy/van Halen album was a monster! And the next was even better! Great time for rock and roll!
So many memories of boating with my friends on Lake Michigan the summer 5150 was released. What an amazing time in my life!
Eddie's solo here was even more musical that the album's. One of the most musical Eddie live solos I think I've ever heard. This whole performance by everyone is just phenomenal.
So happy I was able to witness the Mighty Van Halen
Sammy was a legendary singer songwriter and he was amazing he's music 🎶 will on history love he's music 🎶🎵 for ever
The GOAT solo in this song is so great. I loved this band so much
I saw the 5150 tour in New Haven CT for the taping of the live without a net shows.
Live Without A Net, those are good memories, right there!
Rhythm and lead wrapped up tight in one package...truly one of the best.
Full concert should be officialy released. RIP EVH
Good times! They sound awesome! I saw them on every Sammy tour sometimes twice. What I would give to go back to these days. Love U Eddie!
Amazing video of an amazing time, amazing quality as well.
So cool how Eddie always played the solos different live, just going by feel. One of the best live rock bands ever . RIP Eddie !
This is my favorite Van Halen song! Would love if you guys could come near Battle Ground, Washington!
Can you imagine music without Van Halen? I can’t
Every other `80`s drummer- "Man, you should see the size of my new kit!" Alex Van Halen- "Hold my beer!"
Ah, I think Neil Peart owns that title.
@@mookyyzed2216nope. Terry Bozzio has the Guinness record, dwarfing Neil-by a mile
This album sends an important message to Humanity that sadly, is ignored by a majority.
No other band could match this performance. Total seat of the pants insanity.
one of their best songs ever! Shame they didn't perform it very often. This footage is a gem!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I have never heard this undoctored version before. Much better live feel this way without the overdubs!
We need this live album
Ed and guys rocking out hard.Love hearing this song live.A blistering tune! (ed v. h. 4ever)
Looking back at it all there’s only two words…THANK YOU! ❤️
Kicked Ass I went with my buddy San to this show in San Diego sounds like a different key that the cd here
Sammy is incredible, from Montrose and on, still has an incrediblevoice, god bless you sir!
Gotta say as a High schooler in '86-'87 this was an epic of the time! Hot Summer Nights was my jam, I had a motorcycle and money! What a time in my life!
Brings a tear to the eye. Awesome stuff, what a song, what a band, what a time. Yes Mikey, 'firing on all cylinders' indeed!!! Come back to Australia Sammy. Please.
