- Follow Eddie Van Halen around his 'office' for two hours while he lights up his guitar and the world during Van Halen's 2012 tour. I shot this in 1080p at 59.96 frames per second. It's been available for many years as a blu-ray (1080p) encoded at 30 fps. To update this (Oct 2023), I color corrected it (just a bit), added some contrast, and gave the saturation a small boost. But most importantly, I encoded it in its native 59.96 fps format. Watching it with the aforementioned adjustments and at its native frame rate makes it really sparkle IMHO.

Finally an Eddie Van Halen performance that’s actually recorded by a guitarist
Exactly. EVH guitar playing fans will be analyzing this for years. His fingering, chords, picking techniques and all that stuff which made the guy such a huge influence on many of us.
@@RKDriver esp during a concert -- everyone knows he changed things up live, great to see how.
Yes, that was my initial thought, EXACTLY! The guy filming this had the presence of mind and wherewithal to focus intently on Eddie the entire time - the result is pure GOLD. Someone please erect a monument in his honor, because this is a priceless gem that not only pays homage to the king but also honors his die-hard fans, some of which are actual guitar players who have invested countless hours of practice, ATTEMPTING to perfect these masterpieces (like myself). I was riveted to my screen when I first saw this, thinking only a player would record this event in this exact manner, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude. I salute you sir, as do all of us players and intensely loyal fans - which, judging from what I've observed from even a cursory glance at the comment section appears to include all of us. I especially appreciate the video clarity of the close-ups of Eddie's solos and the decision to hone the focus on Eddie, because let's face it, that's what us True fans really want any way, no?
Eddie, Alex, Wolf, Dave.. awesome
How do you know ?
Focused on Eddie ?
Whoever filmed deserves an award or a million bucks or something. This is a guitar players wet dream. Thank you for the closeups of Eddie. Incredible
Still cant get a grip on how He holds the pick?
This video is a great way to honor the King of Six Strings! 🎸👑
Wet dream 😂😂 🤟
@@30pitchcleaverHe doesn't hold a pick. He was born with one on his fingertips 🤟😁
@@30pitchcleaver When he does the super-fast tremolo picking, he uses 3 fingers, index, middle and thumb. It's weird. Rest of the time it seems like he holds it normally, or tucks it in his fingers to use his thumb. Not a lot of hybrid picking. I admittedly haven't watched the whole video, was skipping around to check out different riffs.
Dude, an Eddie cam. You've made history.
Eddie is still alive as long as we keep watching him and listening him and respecting what he did. EVH >Everyone else
Notice the right hand working tone and volume constantly, changing pickups, and releasing the d-tuna after unchained. Eddie used every inch of the guitar. What a technician and artist.
The clarity of Eddie playing is incredible ❤❤❤
Agree. Very relaxed, but solid playing from a man who did not have to convince anybody anymore. And looks like he genuinely enjoyed being on stage (even with DLR butchering most of the songs).
Ted Templeton: "I never heard Ed make a mistake".
@@nyhtopossu4858 DLR didn't "butcher" anything --- he co-wrote all those songs!
@@kerzytibok3211 indeed he did and they are great rock songs. and he sang them fantastically... back in the day... but here..mmmm not so fantastic. too bad he didnt take caring for his voice seriously.
😅😅😅@nyhtopossu4858 can you remember wacky races? Dick dastardly's sidekick Clunk? DLR reminds me of him.
Bbbripding weeee ticktick bbbrrrrrum. Whaddeesay whadeesay?
I am a guitar player and I'm in awe of the close ups we see here..thank you for this awe inspiring video that we have here❤
Eddie, Alex and Wolfie were incredibly awesome here. Dave, well, just being Dave... lol. Eddie looks happy and sober. What a great experience for Wolfie, playing alongside his dad!! Just look at him now and what he is accomplishing.
Eddie was far from sober on this tour
You can come right out and say it... Dave was AWFUL here. He just "talk sings" his way through the songs. When he actually does sing, he is so far off key that it's hard to listen to.
DLR is awesome --- he cowrote all these great songs and I won't let you disrespect him, punk
Dave was awesome. The WHOLE band was on fire.
This is the best footage of closeup of his hands I have ever seen.
It's just not fair how unbelievably talented player as EVH was to the rest of the guitar world! His playing is SEAMLESS!? If that makes sense.. I love and miss that man!! RIP King Edward
Genius.
This is a masterclass in control and virtuosity of electric guitar..absolutely incredible…I love the fact that Eddie is obviously enjoying blowing everyone’s minds by the smile on his face throughout the concert…
This is what I have always wanted! The focus on Ed playing the guitar so close , it’s amazing. The Frankie / Black / yellow I don’t remember him playing those in Dallas.
You know it! This is TITS! 👍
Yes it is
Great footage, wish we had this quality of him and the boys in 78 because they were incredible back then.
Yes! Great Video! Both in HD & Audio quality and the 90% focus on EVH’s playing! I Feel like I’m back at the old Charlotte Colosseum! We always camped out in front on the box office for all the DLR era tours except the 1st 1978-79 tour schedule. I was always front slightly right center, (facing stage)! Of course I was so jacked up back then it was hard to really concentrate on one thing 👀😱👀
I thought the Frankie had more “bite” and reminded me more of Ed’s old sound. Especially the solos.
Ed had the riffs the fills the solos the song writing.....RIP Master! 🙏🕊️🌹
Am I crazy or is he holding the pick differently than he did for most of his career? He's not using his middle finger - this looks like he's holding it more or less in the traditional position.
That relaxed, efficient right hand is probably the most illuminating thing I picked up watching this. I always focus on the left hand I miss how much he's just locked in and casually grooving with the right.
💯
Eddies right hand control and tricks are unbelievable, excellent study of his methods
Ed and Al have such a dynamic swing and groove.
OMG a video that films Edward Van Halens hands only! I‘m in heaven. Thanks to the cameraman. This is my absolute favorite clip ever.
Unquestionably a genius in his execution of his instrument.....RIP...Maestro Eddie Van Hallen
My god, this is a treasure. For a guitar player-one who has always had EVH as the capstone of his influences and inspirations-this is an insane resource. I’m now going to have to revise how I play some of these bits, and this clarifies some of the questions I’ve had since I started in 1980. Beautiful.
Thanks for making this video available. It’s the best footage I’ve ever seen focused on Eddie’s guitar mastery! Great quality and sound. Great camera work! I’m gonna study this for years.
This is the best footage on Eddie playing I have ever seen. Good quality and a couple hours, I have already watched from start to finish three times. It's a great piece of Rock n Roll. I be watching this for years to come.
I'd give anything to see Alex Van Halen behind the drums again❤
Thanks for posting this. You really made my day!
@@jasonthemason1971 Rush is garbage music
AVH has never and will never play drums with anyone other than EVH.
This is a master class on how to play live guitar!
The Sound Quality Is Incredible! Thank You For Posting This Amazing Pro Shot Concert Video!
Wonder the camera guy plug directed to mix to get full sound?
One of the best videos showing how good eddie really is!!!! Just amazed still after all these years 🤘🤘🤘
Great video! I never noticed how much Eddie touches his volume knob, even when it's already at full volume. He will try turning it up or checking that it is full volume randomly.
He also uses the neck pickup a lot more than I expected! RIP EVH GOAT!
Yeah I had to remind myself that on the Wolfgang the pickup selector is wired with the “up” position being the bridge and the “down” for the neck. It was great to see him going between both sounds depending on the riff.
Fantastic, this is the best live video ever of EVH
Thank you for filming the whole show. This is evh history. Cheers 🍻
This is how you video document a guitar god at work record companies and video productions! We don't want to see crazy footage switching from take to take every half a second! Major kudos to the person recording!!!!!
Omg this is fucking incredible!! Up close footage of the Jedi master!! My God thank you so so much!!!!!!!!!!
He is like Darth Vader level and Emperor Palpatine is like jimi Hendrix
To the person that posted this video, THANK YOU!! This is fantastic. Not only the best audio sound on any video I have seen of this tour, the video is fantastic. As everyone is saying, so much closeup of Eddie. Cool to see Dave as well.
For me the band is t the same without Michael Anthony. For is bass and obviously the amazing backing vocals. Does Wolf do good on both? Absolutely. He’s Eddie’s son. I get it. But not the same without Mikey!!
Amen
Yes, a great shame they couldn't get it together with MA one last time.
It's as if Ron Burgundy assembled the Channel Four news team without Brick.
This camera man knew the assignment definitely a musician. This is what I look at during concerts lol
One of a kind video of Eddie’s playing, AWESOME! Thanks for the upload❤
This a fantastic footage! The stayin on Eddie shots with massive close ups. I mean for a fan and gtar player, this is heaven man.
Je vais te le dire comme je le pense, c'est surement la meilleure vidéo de tout les temps concernant le jeu de guitare d'Eddy Van Halen, la qualité et le suivi de son jeu, du matériel tout y est ! cette vidéo est une réelle archive pour tout les guitaristes ! tu as fait un reportage historique ! MERCI !
Oh man, I love how much footage is focused right on the guitar. This helps SO much in learning Eddie's style. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I was at this concert. Thanks for sharing. As a guitarist the closeup video of Eddie’s fingers is pure GOLD!
no one will ever touch MR EVH..God bless you Eddie and Van Halen..glad I got to be in the same room with you multiple times
For all us couch guitarists like myself this is pure bliss - 40 years I’ve idolized this this titan! Dave’s a bit burnt but that’s ok by me
A bit? LOL
He has to be doing it on purpose. The notes aren’t even out of his vocal range. He must’ve deluded himself into thinking that his off key notes actually sound good like John Lennon’s wife does
Roth Man sounds great --- I will NOT tolerate anyone disrespecting him!
@@haydeanbeatz1449 Exactly 💯
I was there . Great show. Val was there. She walked past my row 15 and I yelled out "Hey Val". She looked over and waved. RIP EVH.
NO words... King Edward. No one will ever hold a candle to this MAN.
still hard to believe Eddie is gone.
Right....Three years is a lifetime 559043. BTW, your not a number.
😂 should I say "I am a free man" ... Iron Maiden@@ledwallet1944
I agree with these guys parts I couldn't get right watching this footage really helped me out I got my first guitar in 78 after I heard this guy named Eddie Van Halen play I was jacked been a huge fan ever sense rest in peace brother 🎸🙏🎸🙏🎸🙏🎸🙏 9:51
... And Eddie knocks it outta the park again. Damn just incredible.
A EVH master class how to play the guitar, simply amazing 🤟
Thank You God for Eddie Van Halen - everyone loved the guy. Guitars players such as myself have been in awe since 1978 and cherish his tone and innovations. I feel so fricken happy to have been alive during his reign and inspired beyond imagination by his playing. This is a fantastic capturing of the Exalted Master & King at work…..
Love this camera man .... every guitar geek was waiting for s.o. like you ....
How can I thank this amazing person that uploaded this footage of my favorite person ❤️ in the world. Thanks !! Best Edward footage ❤
A Grammy for the guy who filmed this! Never seen something where you can see so focused what and how EVH is playing guitar. Thank you!!
The uploader bought a ticket with one thing in mind, and boy are we truly grateful! RIP Eddie!
Thank you! I was there, and this is awesome to relive.
Wow! This video is absolutely insane! Frankly, I’m in awe and speechless. Eddie is a Legend. Thank you for this remarkable video of the Legend in his office🔥
Eddy R.I.P ❤. Thank you from Italy 👍🎸
Thank you so much for focusing on Ed for this whole show. And the sound is amazing!
Excellent shots of Eddie’s mastery. This video helped me fine tune some of his techniques. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for sharing! Miss you so much guitar god! R.I.P. What a band!!
I saw VH in 1978 in the Portland playing back-up for Black Sabbath. I remember spring was in the air- so it was March ing straight into my all time favorite May-Queen - April.
That’s so funny . I saw them open for sabbath in Chicago the same year . They devastated and were do amazing
RIP EVH...MY MUSICMAN FOREVER....
How I ran across this randomly. My god what a recording!!!! Thank you
awesome. what a sound. what a gift. thanku bro,
Perfect camera all Ed!!!
So effortlessly rippin thru those classic riffs
🤟🏻
I saw the Chanel art model Ed played in Dc for sale at Sweetwater for 100K
Dave’s always gotta put the attention on himself 😡
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
Soo cool to see Eddie Play live! Thanks for the effort!
Because Dave was/is struggling through health issues .
Thanks for this. Looks and sounds great!
Great footage & sound! Glad EVH cleaned up in his later days
Too late unfortunately
He would have been fine, If the cancer didn't take him. Wolfie said he believes Ed would still be with us if he was able to continue the cancer treatments he would get in Germany. When Covid hit nobody was flying and everyone was locked down, he couldn't continue.. He was diagnosed in 2000 with cancer and had been successfully keeping at bay since then.
@@yourdrummer2034 Well there is no guarantee it would have worked every time. He needed to kick drugs in his 30s for good like Keith Richards.
@@Fearzero cancer doesn't care what you got going on. Cancer killed him, not the drugs.
@@yourdrummer2034 Nonsense. Genes are the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS MASTER CLASS GUITAR INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. IF EVH HAD DONE THIS IN 1984 HE WOULD HAVE SOLD MILLIONS OF COPIES!!!
I Love, Love, Love this video so much. Can't stop bobbin my head in the groove and can't stop smiling. What a great day...
Saw this tour in Buffalo. Ed was on fire as was the whole band. His tone was amazing.
As a guitarist I thouroughly enjoyed the video, but what I didn't expect was the great audio. WELL DONE!!!! Thanks.
Wolfie sounds incredible on Jamie’s crying
❤ Awesome video work brother! I saw "Day at the office " and thought wtf and then get this AMAZING footage and audio, and also as a guitar player, of exactly what I always wanted a concert video to be! Got to hang with Edward twice (also signed my guitar twice and Sammy signed it once! Second time we were on the loading ramp in Tucson and Eddie came up and I asked if he would sign it and he said sure and grabbed it and looked at it seeing EVH from 1984 and said "I already signed it!" so I said sign it again! He laughed and signed it EdVHOU812 then Sammy came up and wanted to sign it and signed it Sammy 812). Thank you sir for this awesome video! RIP Eddie ❤
Man that guitar is PERFECTION with THE MASTER at control! ❤
i was there !!!!!!! great video work on King Edward.
Daves old voice really got bad, no way to clean it up, EVH was on fire as always.
It's like DLR is mentally ill or something. He doesn't even TRY. He just rambles through all these great songs. What a shame.
Yeah I really like the way the cameraman focused on Eddie so tenaciously .almost like he understood the importance of it with the future unknown.his little film here I feel is of great historical importance and as the years go on I think it will be the feeling for most of the world especially the musically inclined and guitarist of the world.no kidding the value of this film rises with every like and every day that goes by .not kidding here.this is a damn national treasure I love Dave,but glad to see only Eddie.
And omg when I bought the cassette tape on the brand new album I was light years ahead of my age group since I had heard something Eddie played somewhere and when I heard the guitar tone ,sound style,it energized me and I knew everything this dude played would be good .never heard of vh before.and when I heard "everybody want some....I want some too"lyric I just fell out .loved every song on the album.i think it was first album I ever bought .I was like 6th grade.i wrote that lyric on my notebook.and one day my teacher noticed it and sent me to the principals office...and he actually gave me 7" licks" with a wicked 5inch wide 1/2 inch thick hard maple paddle he would have the 7th grade shop teacher get his classes to custom make for him then wrap with clear 3inch wide tape,then drill holes 1/4inch round staggered and spaced every inch across the ass impact zone.to decrease the wind resistance so he could swing harder.and the principal was 6 foot 4 345obs!yeah he had a real issue with loving to infkict pain on small kids .he had the paddles sent over on the busses doin the routs since elem was 6th grade and lower.hr hufh was 7-9 across town he had 3 new ones perweek sent.and you could find the broken ones laying on top of open trash bins while standing in lines for bathroom outside his office.and it hurt evert time evert kick so bad.ifta noved to nych he just added another .yeah he was nuts. Was fired for it when I graduated high school but he tire my ass up almost every day.abd I deserved it mostly .when I was at the mall I found a van halens t shirt and on the back it said everybody wants some . I want some too.and I bought it and wore it right to school 2 weeks after I got sent for writing on notebook I had already gotten many licks since then and when I got sent for the shirt he just looked at me and said "I already knew your about the most toughest assed kid ive ever had.but now I know your also about the most stubborn "..I look back at him about to whack my aas and said"I can thank you for that sir...after going to jr. High and high school i was immune to any form of paddling.and they always gave you a choice of paddling or detention. I even had to pretend like it hurt so they wouldn't give me detention or expelled for 3 days.but I swear I didn't even feel it after what I had been through .
Oh Man! We'll never hear Eddie make his guitar roar in front of our eyes again😢 still miss you everyday, Brother!🤘🤘
His reach from index finger to pinky on that fretboard was amazing !
Great footage!! Thanks for the upload!
Thank you so much for this, these are the memories we have to hold dear to remember!! V.H forever guys!/gals!! Luv kenny ann arbor, mi.
Eddie was an amazing lead guitarist but the true magic is his rhythm playing. Good grief!!!!
Fun watching Eddie and realizing that I suck at guitar, and that man was amazing. Now Dave, on the other hand, was like listening to nails on a chalkboard.
What a amazing instructing and enjoying video! Thank you for posting! 👍
The clarity of this video is AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing with us! ❤🤍🖤
I was there almost 12 years ago! What a night!
Poor DLR trying so hard to hit those high notes he used to sing. This is the real VH but age affects us all except Eddie 😎
The years reach everyone, nothing Bad with that, but they keep going doing music
You have done an incredible thing here!! You are a RUclips hero for bringing EVH to us in such clarity! Thank you, sir!!
I'm gonna have to study the hell out of this video. Great Eddie footage.
Wow that was really good, surprisingly good.
this is amazing...going to send this to my friends...all Eddie all the time!!
Eddie cam! Thank you❤
Ed was on fire this tour! Healthy looking and all! I'll wait is my absolute favorite VH solo. Nice and easy. So good. Plus, where can I get these charvels???!!!!
shame that Mikey wasn't playing bass with them. This turned out to be one of their last hurrahs.
this is one of the best video of van halen live!!!!! great focus on eddie while playing his awesome licks & tapping skills' thanks for posting!!!!!
Finally a video that specifically spotlights Eddie! Thank you! & Rush played on the 7th...Wow!
BEAUTIFUL ...THANKS SO MUCH for this ! WE LOVE YOU ED !!!
I have his Matte Black Wolfgang guitar but in Ivory. It’s a desert island guitar for sure!! But this video is great because do you notice how he constantly checks the volume knob to make sure it’s on full? That’s because he liked the low resistance volume potentiometer. He liked the low resistance for all the volume tricks. It works great for that but because it’s so easy to turn, it gets bumped while playing and you have to check to make sure it’s on full when you want it to be. I like seeing him do it too because I have to do it and it’s nice to see I’m not the only one. The king himself has to do it as well.
Great video of up close playing!!
One more thought. Other then having the speed and fluidity of his playing skills, if you want to sound like Eddie you have to learn how to mute strings with your right and left hand. Muting all the strings you don’t want to ring out. His muting is 100% a key to his sound. Watch how he does it in this video.
Great video but just like back in 84 the music is spot on but the vocals aren’t, David was quite the showman but well never be in any top rock vocalist list
With that said: 50% of guitarist have that disease. 😂
Yes. His thumb is over the low E a lot, but not for fretting, and the right palm is doing it's thing also.@@GuitarMan54321
@@followingnazarene Yes, on a Strat it happens, on a Les Paul not as much but on his guitars the wind will blow and the volume knob will move.
Thanks for sharing
Awesome video, Eddie is on point. I love DLR as the original front man for Van Halen but dude lost his chops…miss Michael Anthony’s harmonies.
This is gold! Thank you.
Music is ❤️
Thank you for posting this!
