I couldn't imagine as a vocalist how hard it would be to tour this album. Hagar recorded some of the most difficult to sing performances of his career on this album. Nothing but respect to Hagar.

I don't care what anyone says, Balance is a great record and the tour was awesome

This is probably their most underrated song ever.

Most think first of Eddies lead playing but this man’s rhythm was insane. This song is ferocious in its voicings and takes you on a ride.

Balance was the greatest EVH guitarsound ever. Open, wide, crisp, pure and twangy.

Wow I overlooked this song and all these years later I’m blown away how amazing this sounds live!!!

How good is Sammy, voice is as strong as it always was, dudes a legend

The boy's we're hitting on all cylinders on this one.

balance is one bad ass album...nothing to argue bout that

This was a FANTASTIC tour! I miss this version of Van Halen. Sammy was the ideal frontman for the band.

R.I.P. Edward 😢

Back when Van Halen was still worth seeing live. They were so cohesive here despite the inner turmoil.

Eddie plays this song like on the album. He really can play great live.

Van Halen great band. Balance great album

I like Sammy Hagar's personality and voice so much! I wish everyone was young again and we are back to this period. Just happy people watching a great rock band.

Probably the best song on the whole album. Underrated.

That’s the difference with Eddie and studio musicians, He killed live, sounds amazing

They became a SUPER group with Sammy! Pure rock and roll!

That riff. Wow. Rip king.

I'm one of the very few who absolutely love the guitar tone on this album. Edit: Ok, apparently I was wrong in saying I was “one of the few.” I was basing my original statement on the comments of my fellow, physical community. They instead said “Dave Rules Sammy Drools,” and failed to capture the brilliant tone and riffs of the later years. Thank you for proving there are others out there that have the same opinion as I.

And he just blows me away with just his rhythm!

My Heart ❤️ Bleeds at How Their Friendship Fell Out Those Guys Created Musical Magic 🎸🎹🥁🎙💽

very sad knowing Ed is no longer here but at least we'll forever have their music.. RIP KING EDWARD

Michael pluckin that bass somethin wicked

The Mighty King EVH!!!!! Just rockin' the daylights out of this!

Now that's some awesome rock music right there! That driving pulse of the song is just great!

Such a badass song. They look like they were having such a good time.

Great song and absolutely in the pocket.. so tight. The drumming on this is killer too, very powerful.

What a fuckin performance!! The energy I get from this. Eds tone sounds badass. Al is slaying the drums VH for life

They sounded so BIG for a guitar, bass, drums, vox setup.

Spring of 95', man I wanna go back!! Eddie's tone is great here. You can tell he is into it.

SHIT!! Why can't we have this line up back??? So damn killer!

I saw the Balance Tour four different times. To this day, it amazes me how Van Halen delivered such great shows, despite the well-documented issues the band and members were going through at the time.

Really the end of the band when you think of it. Which is really sad because they were still at the top of their game and wildly popular. The greatest American hard rock band of all time, both eras, hands down.

This song was the most explosiveand energy driven song of the Sammy Van Halen era🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏👏

I was actually there that day in the crowd, less than 50 feet from the stage. Good times.

My favourite van Halen song ever.

One of my favorite VH songs and albums!

Imagine having this level of talent and following and then just walking away from it because they could get along with each other. So much lost time and music.

(the album track) This is one of the best beginnings to any song, anywhere. It’s sooooo freakin’ powerful as soon as Alex goes "BOOM" 💥 "Ease the seat back, Eddie" RIP

Awesome performance! The best and healthiest Eddie has ever looked. Man I miss him!

Eddie is such a damn good rhythm player.

I love VanHagar

I miss these guys 😥

Michael Anthony. Brilliant bassist underrrated. Change my mind.

Balance is a record I can listen from the first track to the last track..

One of my favs from VH catalogue !

This is FANTASTIC!!

First heard this album when it came out loved every song and thought Eddy can’t play like the album live seen them over 5x w/Sammy no disappointment Eddy was spot on RIP Eddy Van Halen

I like VH on the darker side... This is an awesome piece... Sammy is ballztothewall, as usual... RIP EVH! (not since hendrix, has anyone so revolutionized what we do...an era has ended)

Great song from a great album. Can’t believe 1995 was 25 years ago.

I was 20 when this album came out and it was so bad ass and dark with killer guitar playing till this day it's one of my favorite VH albums...Eddie was clean and sober at this time and was really serious and it showed in his playing

Balance great album the best van halen forever

To think that the last 20 years we barely had anything from this band. A couple of singles, greatest hits records and 1 actual album. Such a shame. A few weeks before Eddie died I was really hoping to see that they could get some new material out. Sadly, well, we all know the end of that story 😪

this is an AWESOME vid! they killed it.

I'm not a huge fan of the "Balance" album but there's no denying that "The Seventh Seal" and "Aftershock" were amazing!

Balance is the album that I put for testing any audio gear. The production and tone is excellent!

Great song and guitar playing and tone!

see folks MTV actually did play real music once upon a time long ago!

Balance was the first VH record I ever heard so it holds a special place in my heart. Those were the days!!

I just cant listen to any other music then van halen anymore, i get bored Too Quick, van halen songs is fun to listen Too, so many awesome riffs and licks. I miss you Eddie! Thanks for The music you created!

AWESOME!!!

Saw them on this tour, phenomenal live sound, Ed was flawless.

I remember flipping my lid when I heard the classic EVH Phase 90,and Flanger being used on the Balance CD.

wow...my foot started tapping.

I miss this legendary guitarist daily im reminded of his talent by listening to his music daily

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON THAT TOUR with UKJ good times

Love this one !

...the genius, legend hard rock band of the world....

Damn what a jam!

Back in Houston Texas at the summit saw the balance tour and collected soul open for van halen it was amazing concert got to see them three times in Houston

It doesn't get any better than that! Love you guy's! ❤ rock on 🤘 Eddie. Miss you! Joe k.

What a great crowd!!

Just love this song, and Sammy's vocals 😍

Van Halen ia the best of rock in the word

was very lucky to see the guys on the 5150tour class

Absolutely brilliant

Was stationed in Germany during this time and had to spend 45 days on a field exercise. Remember seeing posters for this concert and Bon Jovi was the headliner.

van halen died after 1996, once Sammy left,, balance was a nice send off..

Great footage thanks for sharing this!

Saw them three times on the Balance tour and they were awesome each time. Ed's tone on the album and tour was my favorite.

Rock am Ring staff: So how many amps are you thinking for the show? Eddie: *Yeah.*

Awesome! The good old days.

That Sammy Jump at 2:51 Perfect

Stellar live performance and a great song

Ed's tone is freaking great here

Sammy was fucking 48 right here sounding as good as he did when he was in his 20s

Great concert. I was in the front row 👍

My favorites of all time! Luv this guys so much since my childhood.

I'll take Sammy's singing talent over Roth's goof ball stage antics every single time.

Van Hager sounds a lot like in through the out door led zeppelin and page + plant. Hagar's vocals for sure and evh's guitar tones and riffs for sure

Just to think we will never see something like that again

You can actually hear Michael Anthony!

Saw em twice in ‘95 both were amazing and l’ll never forget Alex’s solo!

A few days earlier I saw them in Sheffield UK. Best gig ever. Supporting acts were Thunder and crown of thorns. All a long long time ago. Remembered like yesterday.

It's sad that Van Halen pissed away over 20 years of what could have been superb albums. Sammy's voice was killer on Balance. They've gone down the shitter since he left. Pretty sad tale of a once great band, one of the best which I was privileged to see live in '93 and '95. Sammy has always been the bigger man and tried to reach out the olive branch to Edward and just gets it thrown back in his face. At least he's getting on with his life and enjoying it. Good for him.

That album was top notch!!!

Roth Van Halen was three virtuosos and an amazing frontman. Van Hagar was 4 virtuosos. Sammy's voice is like an instrument

Maybe I’m reaching here, but this is Van Hagar’s “Fair Warning” album. So dark yet powerful, and EVH’s playing was on top yet again. There was a comment on another video where they say the way albums were made during the entire VH run were heavily influenced by the mood EVH was in at that time. Fair Warning was a good example as Ed was tiring of DLR’s antics and Ted Templeman’s involvement and it showed in the dark overtones and angry feel on that record. Same for Balance, as Ed is dealing with increased tension with Sam and it shows in the album. Anyone notice how many instrumentals were on the track list? Sam refuse to sing (or didn’t bother to show at the studio)?

Ed’s hip and Alex’s vertebrae had the Balance tour nicknamed the Ambulance tour. Still sounded great
