Is there anyone who doesnt think that Michael Anthony isnt the type of guy who has so much gratitude for what he was able to be a part of. He just seems to always be just having a great time and taking in the moment. Love this tribute and remembrance of the VH years with Sammy!
He’s always been more humble for a “rockstar”. Especially considering he was in one of the best bands ever. So much so that I named my son Michael Anthony.😊
Well when it comes to Michael Anthony playing Van Halen's music he sold all his rights last year he was in the band he was considered a Hired Gun and when it comes to be humble ask him the last time he talked to Eddie Van Halen or Alex we all know who wrote most of those bass lines this should be called the Grab Money tour do you think they got anybody's blessings on this circus basically Hired Guns rip Eddie Van Halen enjoy retirement Alex rip it up Wolfie and Dave is just Dave but I guarantee they have no respect for Sammy the ringleader pass yourself how much money is going to any kind of Charity or benefit best of all worlds and don't say they're doing it for the fans we don't need another Van Halen tribute band I'm so disappointed in Jason disappointed in Joe you had nothing to do with this music take all this effort and ride a hit song stop living off the Van Halen brother's name stay out of Alex Van Halen's wallet what happened to respect honor I can't imagine Ed watching this celebration the MoneyGram sad and they're playing jump ain't talkin about love in Panama a joke Sammy I don't know how you can look yourself in the mirror
@@sonofgunsonofagun2432 Van Helen’s best years financially and hit-wise was during the Hagar years. It’s ok to be disappointed that EVH is gone and Van Halen is no more, but it says a lot about the bitterness in your heart as a fan that you make such accusations. Why not enjoy the fact that live music played and sang by real musicians is still relevant and drawing crowds? It’s a great way to honor your fallen hero. Even Hagar and Michael Anthony miss Eddie and Alex and have said it repeatedly. They miss the good times before some snakes in management came in and screwed everything up. If they can honor Van Halen, can you?
@@sonofgunsonofagun2432but you forgot to mention that Wolfe had to show Ed how to play his own guitar parts so they could tour. Here's a fun idea, you're gonna love it, go buy a guitar and try to play like Ed, Satch or hell even Sammy. This is not a money grab, this is 4 guys showing love for their friend and musical icon. Satch spent his entire life trying to sound like himself. He does this and the Experience Hendrix shows to show his love for the artist who came before him. Sammy was famous before VH, made the brothers a butt load of money while they were trying to self destruct and went on to make a buttload of money after without them, while donating financial aid to local food banks in every city they play in. Read more, comment less.
The Van Halen snobs can take a hike. This is great. The last time I saw VH live I was actually disappointed. They’ve got a spark here and it’s wonderful to see Sammy & Mike doing these songs again. Joe: fabulous.
@@AT-zb3mj ehh, bullshit. You are just being sentimental. Sammy looks fat, drunk and tired.. and his voice and pitch are failing him. He’s stayed too long at the fair. He needs to hang up those rock n roll capizio dancing slippers and go live a quiet life in Cabo
@okgo5152 some of my faves hit the wall in their 50-60's, Sammy sounds better than Vince, Jon, Steve Walsh, DLR, etc., nobody in R&R sounds like they did 30 years ago, so yes, agreed, sentimentality plays into it. That's not a bad thing. Truth be told, I'm watching for Joe's playing Ed's music.
@@1satisfiedmind true, Sammy’s voice held up better.. but after this he needs to go relax in Cabo for the rest of his days, put down the mic. He’s done well but it’s time to take a final curtain call
VH continues with Satch, nice to hear that Joe doesn't wanna be a clone. There will always be one Eddie V. H.. also Mikey is here with Sammy what a nice reunion, continue rocking folks with Satch! 🙌👏👏
@@mancuniancandidatemJoe was doing versions of Satch Boogie in the 70s according to John Riccio, the other guitarist in his first band. Joe has said it’s inspired by swing music that his parents listened to when he was a kid. But I’m sure a little 70s-era ZZ Top is thrown into the mix as well.
This is incredible. I have always loved Satch, his skillz, and his music. But now.... I have more respect for him that ever. He put himself into a tough situation, where the Internet Genius Trolls were going to come out, and be all over him. And he's sucking it up - and doing this. I'll forever love the guy for doing this, and giving us (The Fans) what we wanted to see and hear. Keeping this alive! Thank you, Joe. And Thank You, Sammy! At almost 77... the guy is still sounding INCREDIBLE!
Mikey again shows 'why' his backing vocals will forever remain a critical part of the VH sound. It will forever sadden me the way he was treated - and I do not have any 'insight' into the specific reasons 'why' Mikey was replaced - but I 'do' know Mikey is a genuinely nice bloke who is so often overlooked when discussing VH - he to me will always be one of 'the' critical drivers of the VH sound.
The outcome to Right Now is best thing I've heard so far and of course frikkin' Judgement Day (and Seventh Seal). OK it's all fantastic. Miss you Eddie.
Yes, JS is a monster with the axe…also, you could argue Satch Boogie is to Joe what Erruption was to Eddie. It was an awesome tribute without trying to imitate. Fantastic!!
Sean, that is a kick ass way to appreciate ALL of Van Halen's catalog & career. I love Van Halen, 1978 to 2024, because as Ed said, WOLFGANG is the future 🤘🎸🎶 Rock On !!!!! ✌️
I get EVH is an absolute goat to the purests, but damn are they ever salty and insecure to see a guy with a theoretical and technical mastery of the guitar such as Satch take the reins on this and make it his own and totally nail it in the process.
EVH fanatics are the worst. Joe is tearing it up. They ignore that Eddie was rather non productive the last 20 + years of his life, other than what he left at 5150, which may never be released.
Better enjoy this while we can, its awesome and unfortunatly very likely the best vh we will be able to enjoy and witness now and in the future. The past was great, but it also was the past😊
I've seen Dave's eatem&smile tour with Steve Vai when I was 16.he didn't play Eddie like Joe satriani is playing eddie.u can see&hear high quality that Joe is putting in to his playing..I have new respect for satriani.sammy has to keep this lineup.this is elite stuff.never stop guys!!!!!!!
Van Halen toxic fans must be the unhappier fans in the world. This sounds great and is fun. Unfortunately Eddie is not with us anymore, let the people enjoy his legacy live in these tributes. Satch take this role so serious and respectfully.
Satriani is THE MAN. Hes paying Respectful homage to Ed, with his tone, and playing the songs as they were on the album, without overwriting his own skills all over the top of all of them, all the way through. Hats Off you guys. Bravo 👏
@@horsecockexpress7612he’s playing them the way Edward did live and on album. It’s a live show and deserves some of both. Satch is more than capable and is doing a great homage.
Never realized how much “Top of the World” (which I think they should’ve left out of the set list) sounds like “Dance the Night Away”. Good to see them and the fans having’ a great time.
Yeah, I have to admit, as much as I love Joe Satriani this song was a little rough on his end. And there was no disrespect, that’s one musician offering constructive criticism. I have nothing but respect for Joe, but it was rough.
If you can’t enjoy this that’s on you and you really shouldn’t waist your time here! Much less comment! My guess is Eddie would be thrilled people get to hear his music live again! He may nave been a perfectionist as is Satriani, but they are two different people and I this is a tribute not a clone! Get over it and go watch or listen to something you enjoy 😉😎
its funny how many nobodys trolling youtube have something negative to say about talented rockstars having fun, while theyve accomplished nothing themselves lol
@@stephenh.4476 Why would he want to have sounded like Eddie in the 80’s????? He sounded like himself.. We aren’t talking about the 80’s here. Joe is the most humble and respected guy out there for this job. He’s worked hard ( at being himself ) to earn this. I was talking from a fans point of view. It’s great to hear the songs live again, I’m enjoying hearing Joe playing them. Who do you think could do it?
This video was my 3rd to listen to and whatever you were recording with was great. People need to remember if you are going to record a concert with your cell phone, use some canned air to clean out the microphone. Your recording of this sounded great. Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed this Celebration.
Man, the haters in these comments need to wipe the cheeto dust off their mouths, waddle up the steps of their basements, and get a little sun on their skin. These guys sound great, no malice or "cash grabbing" here. Sammys a little rough, sure, but hes SEVENTY FUCKING SIX-hes older than Rob Halford!
Got tix today for Toronto....this is a total Van Halen tribute, not just Eddie....am sure Eddie is smiling down ear to ear....just awesome. Hope Wolfgang shows up at a show!!
i think vic johnson would have done a great job on this tour. They're basically playing the songs Sammy has played on tour throughout his solo career. With the exception of 2 or 3 songs. This is Chickenfoot.
@@Me-qp8vz Satch Boogie on the album is swingin' Jeff Campitelli on live drums and Joe on bass and guitar, with only the tapping bridge is a drum machine. Most of the other tracks have Campitelli playing all the core cymbal sounds and some of the snare hits.
Lol he’s not trying to be a VH clone at all whatsoever, he’s being himself and it shows with the approach he’s taken on other songs. A EVH clone would be up there with 5153 amps and evh guitars regurgitating everything note for note like a computer.
I don’t want Satch to play it exactly like EVH. He’s not EVH. I’m more than happy and interested to see his interpretation of the songs. Since we’ll never get AVH and Wolf on the stage to play these songs, this is likely the best we’re going to get. Enjoy it while you can.
Joe Satirani isn’t EVH and EVH isn’t Joe Satriani, they are brilliant guitarists in their own right! Once people realise this, then maybe, just maybe, the pathetic trolling will cease.
One of the worst things of RUclips is suffering the comment section of all you negative 'experts' who will never be happy no matter what. And you've probably never achieved a damn thing in your life. Dont like something...dont watch it. Like you...its pretty simple.
Brilliant, but for the rest of the tour please change the snare or at least the snare tuning, otherwise it doesn't sound like VH. I think the Tama Rosewwod model used on their first LP's could be the best choice !
Good to see Joe not copying the original. He's doing the recognized parts, just being himself. But Satch Boogie no, please. If He played Motorcycle Driver would be more to the genre.
They're playing a whole tone down to help Sammy, which he's been doing a while for songs like Poundcake. On one hand that changes the guitar sound too much, however, I like the original vocal melodies retained by doing that. I mean, I'd love to hear AC/DC play Thunderstruck like that and hear Brain sing it the old way.
Agreed! Like Zep did in their 2007 reunion show...Stairway was in Gm instead of Am...I much prefer bands dropping the key of any given song to accomodate an older singer's voice. Rather than the singer cheating the notes or melody. That being said, I saw Roxy Music a couple years ago and the keys were WAAAAY down to fit Bryan Ferry's current lower voice. It was very subdued and kind of a letdown.
@@TomBVoxman Wow, did they use a dropped-tuning guitar, or transpose? It's tough one because you change the character of a song either way, but on balance I'd rather here the right notes from the singer. Thunderstruck has sounded daft live for years, you can't blame Brian Johnson, the guy is 76!
Joe’s a master! My impression of his playing when he plays someone else’s music is he is kinda kept on a leash. Unlike when he absolutely shreds his own tunes.
Joe expressed how he didn't listen to Van Halen in prior times because he didn't want to be influenced in that direction and to maintain his own style. For him to learn Van Halen tunes in the time that he did is phenomenal. Ed obviously came forth with his own unique feel and although one can learn and play Ed's parts it takes a longer time to grab the feeling Ed produced. For some it takes longerthan others to get close.
Is there anyone who doesnt think that Michael Anthony isnt the type of guy who has so much gratitude for what he was able to be a part of. He just seems to always be just having a great time and taking in the moment. Love this tribute and remembrance of the VH years with Sammy!

Yep🎉🎉🎉
You can tell sammy loves singing and performing! He is 75!
Michael Anthony sounds as good as ever! He's a huge part of the VH sound. Bonham did a great job too!
Sammy has every right to these songs because he wrote the lyrics. Going to see them Friday night and can’t wait.
Sammy didn't write the lyrics for 1984 and the albums before it.
Best concert so far for 2024!
Soo great, CELEBRATION OF THE VH MUSIC!!! Yessss. They all nail it. @around 70 years of age.... woooWW 🤘🤘🙌👏👏
I love that Satch Boogie. Satriani still plays it like it's brand new out of the box. I gotta see these guys when they come to town!
VH continues with Satch, nice to hear that Joe doesn't wanna be a clone. There will always be one Eddie V. H.. also Mikey is here with Sammy what a nice reunion, continue rocking folks with Satch! 🙌👏👏
They still sound awesome. I’m glad they’re still writing, recording, and playing shows. And it’s cool they put some of Satch’s stuff in the set list.
Satch boogie rocked. It was like he took the speed governor off and hit the throttle.
Satch Boogie with the 5150 tone sounds punishing even with these phone recordings. And seeing Mikey shredding on it was great too!
Oh My God! Satch boogie was magnificent
I loved hearing Mike playing this. I think it fits great in the set list as it's obviously a Van Halen inspired tune.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THESE MAGNIFICENT MUSICIANS PAYING HOMAGE TO THE KING EVH!!!
I could just picture Eddie doing the BOBW strut with Sam and Mike. ❤😢
I miss hearing them tapped harmonic fills Joe left out. Not to harp on Joe but those are integral to the song
Satriani is a beast. Just the beginning!!

The outcome to Right Now is best thing I've heard so far and of course frikkin' Judgement Day (and Seventh Seal). OK it's all fantastic. Miss you Eddie.
Satriani is a monster w/ the axe.
And hard to believe he's 68 years old the way he slays Satch Boogie
Yes, JS is a monster with the axe…also, you could argue Satch Boogie is to Joe what Erruption was to Eddie. It was an awesome tribute without trying to imitate. Fantastic!!
Joe tore it it up, on satch boogie!
I hope to see this show. I am a Dave guy, but I am blown away that Sammy sounds this good at 76. The man is 76! Amazing.
Dude Sammy is amazing
I was a Dave guy in 84
But his mojo and vocals were gone 20 years ago
He wouldn’t even attempt to stand on stage with Sam
Sean, that is a kick ass way to appreciate ALL of Van Halen's catalog & career. I love Van Halen, 1978 to 2024, because as Ed said, WOLFGANG is the future 🤘🎸🎶
Rock On !!!!! ✌️
He can't sing like he used to but he still got chops for 76 years young, all thes Songs are down tuned
Would be a great Vegas residency With Special guests, Wolfie, Alex...
Looks like one hell of a rock n roll party to me
The band sounds great! 🔥
Satriani is not surfing with the alien.. he is the alien!! Thank you so much Joe for all the cool tunes

I think Joe adds the name recognition. Vic is pretty good at playing those Van Halen songs.
Vic isn’t that good, solid player but really struggles to pull off much.
Bonzo on drum is great

Good to see Joe not copying the original. He's doing the recognized parts, just being himself. But Satch Boogie no, please. If He played Motorcycle Driver would be more to the genre.
RIGHT FUCKING ON!
Bravo 💛sammy recordando los buenos tiempos de Van Halen;eddy estara muy feliz de escuhar esto genial 🎵💯✨️
Thumbs up to Joe…Not easy to play VH guitar parts when you have a small amount of tiime and tour not doing it regularly like tribute bands…
🔥🔥🔥SATCH BOOGIE🔥🔥🔥
Mikey busting out those I'm the One chops!
I really really enjoyed this and i wasn't a big Van Hagar fan to begin with but I dig this
It's pure happiness, friendship, and love of music ... What a treat
Sounding Good
They're playing a whole tone down to help Sammy, which he's been doing a while for songs like Poundcake. On one hand that changes the guitar sound too much, however, I like the original vocal melodies retained by doing that. I mean, I'd love to hear AC/DC play Thunderstruck like that and hear Brain sing it the old way.
Agreed! Like Zep did in their 2007 reunion show...Stairway was in Gm instead of Am...I much prefer bands dropping the key of any given song to accomodate an older singer's voice. Rather than the singer cheating the notes or melody. That being said, I saw Roxy Music a couple years ago and the keys were WAAAAY down to fit Bryan Ferry's current lower voice. It was very subdued and kind of a letdown.
@@TomBVoxman Wow, did they use a dropped-tuning guitar, or transpose? It's tough one because you change the character of a song either way, but on balance I'd rather here the right notes from the singer. Thunderstruck has sounded daft live for years, you can't blame Brian Johnson, the guy is 76!
@@Hologhoul not all songs, but Jimi tuned down a full step for stairway. Kashmir was in the original key. Plant was fantastic on that one.
Joe’s a master! My impression of his playing when he plays someone else’s music is he is kinda kept on a leash. Unlike when he absolutely shreds his own tunes.
He is without doubt showing both restraint and respect.
Joe expressed how he didn't listen to Van Halen in prior times because he didn't want to be influenced in that direction and to maintain his own style. For him to learn Van Halen tunes in the time that he did is phenomenal. Ed obviously came forth with his own unique feel and although one can learn and play Ed's parts it takes a longer time to grab the feeling Ed produced. For some it takes longerthan others to get close.
Sammy rules
Awesome!! ❤
Why didn't they use Vic on guitar? He played Eds stuff really well.
Because this isn’t an evh cover band.
