If a magical genie gave me the chance to go back in time, and see three live shows from bands I missed during the last 50 years, I'd see Van Halen three times.
Man they were so good. One of the best live rock performances ever. Everyone is on point this sounds just like the studio recording. Eddie throws the kitchen sink into this song. All kinds of great guitar tones. Makita drill, Wah pedal, flanger, and all of his usual guitar wizardry. Wow. VH forever. RIP Eddie
BETTER than the studio recording. All 4 of them were at the top of their game. Alex followed Eddie, and Eddie followed Alex. Even after Eddie and Alex threw down, Michael and Sammy had a lot of space to do what they did - and they followed the Van Halen brothers' lead perfectly, without stepping on them. I wish I could have been there.
1991年のMTV Video Music Awardsの映像ですね。BS(NHKだったかWOWOWだったかはうろ覚え)で放送されました。 オープニングのヴァン・ヘイレンの他にもメタリカの『EnterSandman』、マライア・キャリーの『Emotion』等、信じられないほど豪華なアーティストのパフォーマンスが盛り沢山の内容でした。 視聴しながら録画したVHSを何十回となく繰り返し憑りつかれた様に、宝物のように高校時代に観ていました。
Right? Sound techs don't get the recognition they deserve. I've paid a lot of $ for some concerts where the band gave 100% and the sound tech fucked it all up. HUGE problem.
The Makita 9.6v cordless drill/driver that sparked the revolution of cordless power tools LOL....brought to you by the grandmaster of rock and roll guitar! Epic! RIP Edward!
What you heard on the vinyl, tape, cd is what you heard in concert. Not missing a beat. Only difference was what Eddie and crew provided during show. ALWAYS top notch and going away deaf for a few days after.
The best thing about the Sammy years was the whole band felt tight, together and happy...Sammy is and will always be one of the best front men ever...Pure energy on every level...Michael Anthony is way under rated and appreciated as a musician...I'm glad that Sammy and Michael have teamed up to make Chicken Foot...Cheers guys.
Couldn't agree with you more! The VH years with Sammy as front man got me through some really rough times! I love Sammy! I'm willing to bet that Sammy and Michael A. are some really cool guys to chill and have several beers with!
@@sunjester8254Just because they *became* unhappy at some point doesn't mean they were *always* unhappy. Eddie and Sammy were extremely tight at one point, and loved writing music together. A lot of whether people could get along with Eddie or not depended on how heavily he was drinking at that point, from the way I understand it.
can you name anyone specifically that 'way' underrates Michael Anthony as a musician?? ... have you ever had a conversation with someone that said, 'yeah, that Michael Anthony really sucks as a bassist and background singer'..? would just like to really pin down, with some facts, your idiotic claim that Michael Anthony is 'underrated and under appreciated' as a musician.
@@sunjester8254You really showed him 🤦♂️ They all said it was a great relationship for 11 years until the greatest hits controversy happened. Just because the relationship spoiled doesn't mean it wasn't a great relationship at one time. That's how life works.
Every year that goes by of Eddies passing I watch videos like this and I am simply in awe with him. Back then I just took in for granted listening to him play, now I pick up on things I never heard. He just made it look so dam easy.
Genius. Nobody else came CLOSE to his groove and timing. He was fast and loose, at the same time he was tight and perfect. Every note in this video is ON.
God Damn!!! Tight Tight Tight! Mike is Thundering Al is snapping the hell outta that snare, which everything revolves around Ed, what can you say about him that hasn't been said before Sammy sounds like he just stepped in from the mid 70's, he voice is TIMELESS! THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!
As someone who has seen them perform live on 8 separate occasions, I always loved how lose they would play live. Always loved EVH's improvisation live.
Absolutely, it does. The drums sound amazing all the way around, but that snare is just perfect. Especially for a TV broadcast, which can be tricky to get across.
Fun fact: Edward played all the bass on Fair Warning. Sunset Sound recording channel check it out. Not ditching Micheal Anthony. He is great. But there's a distinct difference on "push comes to shove".. Mike was Always prominent in the mix.
@@capnmo6718 I think he’s implying this album finally had the bass properly mixed. On 5150 and especially on OU812 the bass is almost nonexistent. Alex wasn’t happy with how the drums were mixed either. So they asked Alex what type of sound he was looking for and he said that big Bonham sound. So they got Andy Johns who was a producer for Zeppelin to produce the Carnal Knowledge album. That album had the drums and bass with plenty of bottom end to have that full sound. They sound a lot better here live than they did live on the OU812 tour. Theres pro shot recordings for the OU812 and Carnal Knowledge tour on youtube. Check them out and you’ll hear a huge difference in overall sound.
@@breauxcewayne1971 Great info on the recording of F.U.C.K., which I didn't know. The work of Andy Johns (and his brother Glyn) helped make some of the best rock records in history sound as good as they do. VH, Zeppelin, the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, etc., etc.
I've mentioned this many many times before, I miss Edward, the world misses him. I've been fortunate enough to attend a Van Halen concert in 1988 - lost my hearing fortwo days ! I'd do it all over again.
9/2023: They were a Great Band. David and Sammy were both Excellent singers. I've always loved Sammy's music. Eddie was one of the Great Ones and innovative to the Max. RIP Eddie. Thank You for this Post and Best Regards. I have Subscribed. *(P.S. Check out Sammy's 1984 Album "VOA", I think it's his best work)
There will NEVER be another like him! @ 64 playin since I was 17,saw him in 1977 at a venue here in Va beach,to this day I this is where I picked it up and received hearing damage. Heaven is rocking!
I received my hearing damage at an Aerosmith concert about 15 years ago. Only the left side is really bad and now I wear an ear plug on the left when going to a show. A little late......lol
Greatest live band ever. So glad I got to see them and experience the unbelievable talent of all 4 members of Van Halen in person. If you never saw them live in concert you can't imagine what you missed. Everybody knows Eddie Van Halen was the greatest guitar player in the world but because of this the other guys were often overlooked but they were all monsters at what they did. I miss Eddie so bad, but every member of Van Halen achieved immortality because they will live on forever through their music. Godspeed to the mighty Van Halen!!!
So glad i was born in 71, and cycled to school with my walkman on and listen to Eddie and made me think, yea ima pick up the guitar...RIP Legend you are being missed !
I absolutely love when a 4 piece bands guitarist goes into the lead and the stomp drops to only bass and drums but sounds so good you don’t even care. This band were masters.
im more of a jazz fan but this freakin rocked! it all starts with that killer snare sound, michael anthonys 16 note (thank you rocco) groove, eddies ridiculous and innovative style and hagar brings it all together. top notch man
i saw them back in like 90 or 91 when they were touring with this album, they had Alice in Chains opening for them Layne had a broke leg at the time but they still put on a hell of a show, Van Halen's set was one of the best concerts I have ever been to, they blew me away both Eddie and Sammy had their own solos as well as Alex and Michael I will never forget it
I remember that tour. The crowd were all chanting " Eddie" about three songs near the end. Alice N Chains were pissed, the lead singer ended up spitting on the crowd at the end. Never listened to them since.
Van Halen, both Dave and Sammy are amazing! and course EDDIE the King...one of a kind... Anthony and Alex are both gifted too...This group probably the most exciting to watch when it comes to rock and roll...
I remember when the album came out and they came to San Jose, CA. This was the most rad song! Ed did a solo to open (as usual?) that included the national anthem. Then this was the first song. Soo powerful! The band could connect with people like me.
Loved Ed's rig in this era...flipped the guitar and amp market on it's ear going with Peavey and Ernie Ball. EVERY guitar magazine had a story about it.
They were the opening act of the MTV music awards.😂😂😂😂 imagine what the other bands that followed them were saying. Sucks for them to follow that. Their greatest live performance...period
Saw them live at the old Cap Center in Largo Maryland, 1986. They were amazing, so much better than I thought they would be. Hagar was running around on the rafters up above the crowd, I had no idea what a showman he was!
Debo decir algo... El BAJO Michael Anthony... Un trabajo IMPECABLE Siemmmmpre 👊👊👊👊... Y su voz Súper Aguda... CLAVE en EL Sonido de Van Halen😎🎬 Que vivan Los Buenos BAJISTAssss
I think i’m still in shock that Eddie is gone. I remember buying their first album when i was in grammar school. I grew up listening to the DLR years, seen them live in 84. Like Rush and Neil being gone it’s like my youth is fading away
I was at the first concert when you took DLR spot. You were fantastic then and you still are. I was pissed off at the people in the crowd yelling to hear DLR. He was good, but you are better!!!!! I took Tequila shots with you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
Lets also gjve big credit to Michael Anthony's backing vocals. His range was inpressive, along with his strong bass lines keeping the timing with Alex. Alex is a world class drummer too!
If a magical genie gave me the chance to go back in time, and see three live shows from bands I missed during the last 50 years, I'd see Van Halen three times.
This!

Ed made the band rip ed
This was an epic performance I remember watching it back then Hagar‘s vocals were spot on here every one of them was great
BETTER than the studio recording. All 4 of them were at the top of their game. Alex followed Eddie, and Eddie followed Alex. Even after Eddie and Alex threw down, Michael and Sammy had a lot of space to do what they did - and they followed the Van Halen brothers' lead perfectly, without stepping on them.

Van HAGER= imo, they made better quality music together, good chemistry
AWESOME...EVEN TODAY 2024. VAN HALEN ROCK'S. WE MISS YOU EDWARD.🇺🇲💜💜♥️💜

Can we just take a moment and salute the sound guy? This is balanced so well.
Right?
Sound techs don't get the recognition they deserve. I've paid a lot of $ for some concerts where the band gave 100% and the sound tech fucked it all up. HUGE problem.
We didn't know how good we had it!!!!
Two masters I consider myself lucky to have seen play in person; EVH and Neil Peart. Legends that will be missed for eternity.
They all look so happy and healthy there...I sincerely wish it would of stayed that way!!!😁☺😊😎
Sammy is a great guy, in real life as well with the band.......Dave, has problems
Eddies jammin in heaven. Forever young
The Makita 9.6v cordless drill/driver that sparked the revolution of cordless power tools LOL....brought to you by the grandmaster of rock and roll guitar! Epic! RIP Edward!
I can't believe Eddie's sound was so good live. They were in a league of their own
alex and his gell was amazingly good, mark anthonys vocals supporting the lead amazing stuff, eddies rythm playing was also amazong
Wet..Dry...Wet....so many guitarist emulated this setup live after Eddie figured it out.
This Band was "The Measuring Stick" Eddie was the Best!

Yeah, they were real happy. That's why Eddie kicked Sammy out and Michael later, and they all badmouthed each other, minus Mike doing that.
Couldn't agree with you more! The VH years with Sammy as front man got me through some really rough times! I love Sammy! I'm willing to bet that Sammy and Michael A. are some really cool guys to chill and have several beers with!

Man I followed him since 78 when I was a teenager :) too awesome!
Genius. Nobody else came CLOSE to his groove and timing. He was fast and loose, at the same time he was tight and perfect. Every note in this video is ON.
Eddie's Innovations are off the charts let alone the energy this band had and how much fun they really did have together RIP EDDIE😘👍👏☝
Sound powerfull and so commercial at the same time just amazing
Just think what he could do with a circular saw!!😊
God Damn!!! Tight Tight Tight! Mike is Thundering
Al is snapping the hell outta that snare, which everything revolves around
Ed, what can you say about him that hasn't been said before
Sammy sounds like he just stepped in from the mid 70's, he voice is TIMELESS!
THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!
Edward Van Halen...no other words are necessary. What a performance that was. I LOVE VAN HALEN
The best VMA performance ever.
As someone who has seen them perform live on 8 separate occasions, I always loved how lose they would play live. Always loved EVH's improvisation live.
Incredible display of just how good Eddie was.LEGEND.
That snare sounds incredible
UNIQUE!!!
I'm glad someone else noticed! It's perfect.
Fuckin A
Absolutely, it does. The drums sound amazing all the way around, but that snare is just perfect. Especially for a TV broadcast, which can be tricky to get across.
Nice to here mikes bass on a this recording.... finally
Implying it’s quiet on the album? Mikey’s bass is bumping on the recording, right from the first slide.
Fun fact: Edward played all the bass on Fair Warning. Sunset Sound recording channel check it out. Not ditching Micheal Anthony. He is great. But there's a distinct difference on "push comes to shove".. Mike was Always prominent in the mix.

I saw this live! Everyone went nuts when they walked out and played this song!
What was the concert?
@@Taxationisstealing I think it was the Arsinial Hawl show on late night. I remembr watching it when it aired
It was the MTV Video Music Awards 1991
I remember this night well! Had family for dinner to watch Van Halen. That’s how much we loved MTv back long ago!😊
I've mentioned this many many times before, I miss Edward, the world misses him. I've been fortunate enough to attend a Van Halen concert in 1988 - lost my hearing fortwo days ! I'd do it all over again.
Love this song.So much energy from the entire group.
Jeez. They took the stage like a bomb going off.
Energy level. Off the Charts.
MA’s baseline set such a powerful foundation for every VH song.
Best in history ever no one will ever compare
I watched the video awards on MTV the night this performance aired while living in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Those were great memories and a great show.
I was fortunate enough to see this tour/ era twice and to say the least, it doesn't get any better than this!
Eddie was one of his kind.. Awesome and talented.. Miss you EVH and rest in peace..
The greatest rock & roll band of my lifetime.
Man they were so good. I'm just sorry it all ended for this band about 20 years before it had to.
9/2023: They were a Great Band. David and Sammy were both Excellent singers. I've always loved Sammy's music. Eddie was one of the Great Ones and innovative to the Max.

Amazing how three instruments are putting out this kind of sound..Outstanding!
Their stage presence was the best of their time!!!!!
damn they fucking killed it....
Rest in peace legend
Eddie,s master ov the song, chords, timing, soloing, nobody reached that level.
Always like both Van Halen's this energy is Undeniable!!! 👿💜😈
We should never say no more Van Halen cause Eddies music lives on R.I.P. E.V.H.
EVH FOREV
im more of a jazz fan but this freakin rocked! it all starts with that killer snare sound, michael anthonys 16 note (thank you rocco) groove, eddies ridiculous and innovative style and hagar brings it all together. top notch man
I don't care who sung, I love this band...and always will.
THOUGHTS & PRAYERS GOING OUT 2 EDDIE VAN HALEN"AKA THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE 🌎 BEST OF LUCK WITH UR TREATMENT 👼🙏😇🎧🎼🎵🎶🎹🎻🎺🎤GOD BLESS 🙏
Good Memories. Surfing, scouting the scene and Van Halen !

Alex Van Halen! one of the best drummers ever. Listen to that Snare!
Loved Ed's rig in this era...flipped the guitar and amp market on it's ear going with Peavey and Ernie Ball. EVERY guitar magazine had a story about it.
デイヴも好きだが、この頃の円熟期？パワフル💪で好きだな～。
Sammy is way older I think
They were the opening act of the MTV music awards.😂😂😂😂 imagine what the other bands that followed them were saying. Sucks for them to follow that. Their greatest live performance...period
This is a banger. Especially this Live performance.
I've seen this song performed 4 times live and it never gets old!!
I love this song. Van Halen forever. Thanks man. 😊
Funky yeah. I love this so much. Good stuff back in the day. Halen for ever people. 😊
Saw them live at the old Cap Center in Largo Maryland, 1986. They were amazing, so much better than I thought they would be. Hagar was running around on the rafters up above the crowd, I had no idea what a showman he was!
Listening to that, I just got 20 years younger. Eddie was noted for lead but was the best rhythm player of all time. He just had that swing to it.
Favorite song from the van hagar era.
Debo decir algo... El BAJO Michael Anthony... Un trabajo IMPECABLE Siemmmmpre 👊👊👊👊... Y su voz Súper Aguda... CLAVE en EL Sonido de Van Halen😎🎬 Que vivan Los Buenos BAJISTAssss
My favorite Van Halen song of all time !
Yes, Eddie was AMAZING (RIP), but the other members were excellent too. The band was a well-oiled machine. Amazing performance!!!
They were at their best. Miss those days. Don't miss DLR.
Amazing energy!!!! EVH of course is awesome!
My favourite Van Halen album, had some great tunes on it, this being one of them :)
Grandioso Eddie 👍❤
I think i’m still in shock that Eddie is gone. I remember buying their first album when i was in grammar school. I grew up listening to the DLR years, seen them live in 84. Like Rush and Neil being gone it’s like my youth is fading away
TOTALLY FEEL YA
I rewind that introduction for it's the fine stuff, and that guitar riff , timeless.
Awesome. I was lucky to see Diamond Dave one year, then Sammy the very next year. Tingly Coliseum ABQ. Did it really matter who sang.
The best thing about being in a popular band and picking up a new singer is you get to be at the top of your game twice.
Best live group ever!
EVER!!!!! ❤
I was at the first concert when you took DLR spot. You were fantastic then and you still are. I was pissed off at the people in the crowd yelling to hear DLR. He was good, but you are better!!!!! I took Tequila shots with you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
One of a kind, american originals van halen!
I saw Van Halen more than any other band
been going down another eddie rabbit hole. thank god for youtube. I used to rent Live without a net as a kid every week from block buster
A W E
S O M E ! ! 😃
EVH! Magic in his song writing, nails it. A Real Juggernaut when it comes to song writing. We need more of him.
These were the glory days for me❤😂😅😢
Thanks for posting!!!
You put a smile on my face, my friend!
This is one of the best things to ever happen to Vanhallen.😊
The Mighty VanHalen! Period!
Lets also gjve big credit to Michael Anthony's backing vocals. His range was inpressive, along with his strong bass lines keeping the timing with Alex. Alex is a world class drummer too!
Alex's drums always sound so big, crisp and clear.......unlike any other drummer's sound......
Those Ludwigs man.......👍👍
Can't hear the singing...
This and Top of the World, easily in my Top 10.
The greatest band ever, nobody could compare!
Not quite😂
I agree wholeheartedly!!!!
The Van Halen sound is the sound of a roaring V12 Ferrari F50!!!
Wow.....nice voice
The best song Van Hagar made 😊
Nice to see Eddie do work with the Makita up close. Whooda thunk?!
Howdy, and like totally a big thanks goes to you for posting this for us to enjoy. Cheers!
I don’t care what anyone says- Hagar was a great addition to Van Halen
For real the badassest guitar player ever.
Eddie making that guitar go to work.
Goat 🐐
It's Thanksgiving 2023...and I MISS EDDIE! God may have needed an angel, but SO DO WE! ROCK THOSE WINGS, BEAUTIFUL MAN!
