- Sammy Hagar performs "I Can't Drive 55" at Farm Aid concert, September 22, 1985, at Champaign, Illinois' Memorial Stadium. This is soon after it was announced that Sammy would be Van Halen's next singer. At the same show he also performed Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" with Eddie Van Halen on guitar. (See my other video: • 1985 Sammy Hagar & Edd... )
I SAW THIS LIVE! I WAS THERE! This was TWELVE hours into the concert! We were exhausted ,but we STILL went NUTS for Sammy!
I am SSSOOOOO glad my mom got me into listening to Sammy.
He is AWESOME!!!!
I love watching the country musicians on the stage enjoying their chance to rock out with Sammy. This kind of stuff is just gold.
I've seen every form of Sammy from Montrose to solo, to VanHagar to Chickenfoot and he kicks some major ass no matter where,how or with who
Yay! I am from Champaign, IL and this came out the year I was born!!! I have heard about this my whole life, now I am watching it! SUPA' LIKE
LMAO! I was THERE and heard and saw all this LIVE! AWESOME!
i just learned about him today on one of my radio stations, He's good!!!
I seen him yesterday at my nearby beach. I got his autograph and lots of pics. He dropped off a Ck for surfers charity and promoted his new seltzer cocktails
This song takes me back in highschool in 85. good ole days man , miss them!!
Loved the unison in the crowd for 55
Great Video!! thanks for sharing this. That red-VOA Dean was SUCH a COOL guitar!! I always liked his HSAS days with Neil Schon.
everyone always puts down hagar, but youve gotta give it up to him the man has confidence and talent to boot..
could not agree more Dukabor, have seen them both live and Sammy always connects with the audience. Plus Sammy is a real musician, has tons of respect while Dave (great showman, yes) does not have that same respect from musios and fans.
Miss the old band. SAMMY IS THE KING!!!
22 years of partying like a rock star will do that to anybody
On this day in 1921 {September 10th} near Berlin, Germany the Ayus Autobahn highway was opened to traffic.
The highway's outstanding feature was its nonexistent speed limit...
And 83 years later Sammy Hagar released the album 'VOA'; the first track on the LP was "I Can't Drive 55".
The song peaked at #26 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 Singles chart.
'VOA' stands for Voice of America & was Sammy's last solo album before joining Van Halen...
Mr. Hagar will celebrate his 66th birthday on October 13th.
One of the great rock and roll songs of all time. It reached everyone.
Holy hell does this song ever get a crowd going
Your soooooo right Sammy. He is a American gitar hero. He made us forget D.L.Roth sad departure from Van Halen.
People first Criticize you and then they love's you.
thanks i forgot i looked him up and he is doing good for him self
Those of us who followed the band throughout their career know that that is absolutely true. Based upon interviews from the time, Eddie, Al and Mike were much happier having Sammy in the band than Dave. They felt Sammy was a much more comfortable fit for them musically as well as personally.
I was a paramedic at this event and was stationed right off the stage. I got ton's of autographs. Sammy was very nice and signed a couple things for me. Eddie was trashed as usual. Tom Petty was so wasted at this concert he fell over his mic stand. It rained most of the day but Sammy got the crowd going
That’s cool! He was at my neighborhood beach promoting his seltzer cocktails. I got lots of pics and got his autograph
This song should seriously have been in one of the Fast And Furious movies, I must say.
Thats Gary Phil was w/Sammy a long time and did a stint with Boston too. Great player and a good singer too!
Sammy rules!!! rock on my brother.
Great song!! There is talk of bringing back the 55 speed limit. It didn't work for Jimmy Carter, it won't help now..Good show Sammy!!
@IMaDEM0N & as a Follow-Up, if anybody remembers what happened in Van-Hagar, Eddie went to the Keyboard alternatively...go listen to the song Jump by Van Halen, that's a perfect example....
Greatest driving song of all time.
LOL he said Illinois, with an "s" sound on the end, that shit always cracks me up when people say it that way, and when they do, you KNOW they aren't from IL
sammy for president
Eddie is like the best of all rocker's i like Sammy to but Eddie rocks
Wow, Eddie Van halen looks great!! So does sammy, sammy still looks good, sorry eddie
at 53 seconds...the guitar in the background....Jackson SL-2 with a custom Nebula finish. I own the same guitar!
@obeseotters This is probably in the top 3 best known songs in history to be honest.
SAMMY SAID DAM RIGHT IM HERE TO HELP GOOD FOLKS R GOOD FOLKS
those were the days
Too bad this vid cut out Sammys intro speech to it. He said "Here's one for all you tractor pullin' motherf*ckers!", then the song kicks in. I was board op'ing at a radio station carrying this live that day (1st Farm Aid) and 'bout fell outta my chair laughing. The General Manager stormed into the studio and said "did he say what I thought he did?" I replied "you bet your sweet f*ckin farm ass he did".
this is like my theme song. i realy can't drive 55. i can drive 35 and 45 and even 54, but fifty five no can do;).
I think this is really cool, and he actually sang it on stage! so cool
Back to the future 2, BIFF'S PARADISE!
@obeseotters -- actually the first Farm Aid had several rock acts there. Its a myth that it was all Country.
I once got a 'speeding' ticket for going 32 in a 25 mph zone. I told the cop 'I can't drive 25'.. he was not amused--but I was haha
i remember this song from Back to the Future 2 :)
Who said Eddie's sober? Didn't you hear about the canceled tour dates in March because he had to be put back in rehab?
I get the impression Sammy is very happy with his life and surrounds himself with good people. He doesn't need Van Halen to bring him fulfillment.
Kind of ironic to see Eddie and Sammy at the beginning of the video seeing that Sammy took Dave's place at the helm of Van Halen the very next year
"you bet your sweet f*ckin farm ass he did". LMAO I luv it.
yea wow that's ROCK'N ROLL
Way to kill it, Sammy!
Back To The Future 2!
JJ1000 yeah youre totally right
I agree with you. But they are all family. Joint was here.
yup...
Wow I better not listen to that on the radio in my 99 GT Mustang. I might get carried away. I think I could easily do 130 mph listening to that one.
LIVE in 85! fockin right
some one posted a comment saying this guy was better than SRV, i've had a look and im disappointed......
I was going to say the same as "vip3rxhardy" but he doesn't sing the "fifty five" part, still looking for the one video where he sing that part
Yeah, I read that in Sammys book and laughed my ass off!!!
I love me some SH♡
awesome,great,thanks for uploading this!
I made this sticker that Sammy has on his guitar !!!
Little known fact, this song was actually about the Hyundai Excel. It really couldn't drive 55.
whats interesting is that alot of so called modern country is starting to sound like this....you know its pretty much rocked out with almost a sammy type voice they just add more of the country accent
@hemmee Check out Sammy's new band Chickenfoot. They rock. Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Chad Smith and Michael Anthony.
Cool vid. Who's backing Sammy?
@youngmindedman If you like this...check out Bad Motor scooter by Montrose...Awesome band!
They're with him now in Cabo, right?
i was there too it's my home town!willie bring it back here please!hack says hi he's my boss1hey folks its every
truckers song lol!;-)it started here 1.just rember folks passing side the left.suicides the right side!
I live in Germany and i CAN drive 55 (if i want to...), - but thank god there's no need to...! ;-)
who was Sammy's lead guitarist?
Does Hagar ever sing the words "fifty fiiiiive!" live?
scoober1989, doesn't seem like it.
XD! Yes!
Hey Eddie Van Halen's there!
=D!
Sammy's band at the time.
drummers best i ever saw was ronny tutt of the tcb elvis's band
we all smoking good shit
Nice Dean guitar.
Chevere
it's a steinberger, they don't have tuners at the head
If Howard said he's mediocre he needs his head examined!!! Sammy should have stayed with Gary.But don't forget about Bill the ELECTRIC Church.Great Bass player!
Sammy Hagar is the best thing that happend to Van Halen.
Sure Officer, I did see the speed limit sign. But I didn´t see YOU!
@sammylane21--as opposed to saggy pants, sideways hats, and flashing gang signs???
sammy can do songs just as good as on the album versions or better, DLR never did
@WRINGORAINTREE
I bet you can do more than 120. My V6 G8 can do 130+.
This song is dedicated to Michael Waltrip
It's cool that this show happened, but what was the point of "Farmaid"? Every farmer I know gets so many government subsidies they don't know what to do with it. There's one that lives out by my parent's, he has an Olympic sized indoor swimming pool, a 2400 sq. ft. workshop and a Porsche. Yes, please donate to the poor farmers...
@RolllTide *cough*or download time's worth*cough*
Dire straights
Do they have a name besides "...And The Sammy Hagar Band?" I bet he dropped them like led bricks soon after this.
I think it was a slow one... ;-)
@MASTEROFASSWIPE Hagar may be no slouch, BUT HE IS NO EDDIE VAN HALEN...EDDIE VAN HALEN CHANGED THE ENTIRE FACE OF ROCK MUSIC...From Hendrix-Influenced with some Eric Clapton thrown in...to the fucking 1980s!!! & Sammy Plays like he learned FROM EDDIE...That's like comparing Elvis Pressley to James Burton...
You think singing 4 gigs in a row is bad? Try being the cscreamer in a hardcore band. After just one night you can't speak properly the next day. But it's worth it for the fun of being on stage!
Bill Church bass!!!!!!! Chuck Ruff drums ok but no Denny C.
Gary"stiff" Phil guitar.
No angry people allowd. liked or not.
Dave and Howard wouldn't know talent if it bit hit them in the face.
idk wat yall say hagar was as good as dlr
Sammy - Dave, but Vanhalens just generally better with Dave.
sad but i always thought it was 65 :(
if this song doesn't get your blood pumping, you are either dead or suck really bad
I love how Farm Aid begs regular people for money to help out the poor farmers in America...Do you know how much government assistance farmers get these days?? Every farmer in my area is rich as fuck. They get brand new personal vehicles every 2 or 3 years, they are able to build 2000 sq. ft. buildings so they can "store equipment", but most of them just turn it into a huge greenhouse for growing and selling marijuana. Farm Aid can suck nuts.
