The only man that could make a guitar sound like a train wreck and then a violin. Playing with Angels now. EVH.

I love how the audience is silent while Ed is performing, like they are watching a symphony play. RIP Eddie

Imagine being so amazing that you can make metal fans silent as you shred the guitar. Almost like they're silently and reverently watch a classical pianist. This one video speaks to the incredible talent that EVH was.

There aren't enough incredible adjectives to describe how truly transcendent his playing is. Brilliant!

This performance will last in my mind for life. RIP Eddie.

I'm sure in my heart that Jimi Hendrix would salute Eddie Van Halen's abilities. Now, they are having guitar wars in Heaven. RIP both great guitarists.

Hard to believe this man is no longer with us. I feel blessed to have been inspired by him

Soundtrack of the Universe.

The chick's went to see Dave, and everyone else went watch Eddie , as I was able to see him perform 15 different times over 40 years, from when they opened up for Black Sabbath , to seeing VH at Red Rocks, rip Eddie, I'm 61 years old and still have a poster of him on my wall

I can never get enough of EVH playing Eruption! I still crank it up whenever I hear it, just like when I first heard it 40+ years ago when I was a kid!

I watched this with a big smile on my face and a tear in my eye. RIP Eddie

Mind blowing to see him performing at this level toward the end of his life. Thank God he cleaned up and gave us one last taste.

An absolute ONE OF A KIND Guitar player. The trade will miss him as much as I already do.

This is the one on Spotify legit

The greatest guitarist of all time!!! I could watch for hours and never get tired.

This is what the term "being in the zone" is. He couldn't do anything wrong here. His tone, the fierceness and ease in his playing is undeniable.

There are no adequate words to describe how fantastic this is. RIP. Edward.

Such a great performance. You can tell how much passion he put into playing guitar with Eruption. I'll always remember sitting on the far right of the stage at a concert in my area in mid-level seats. We could see Eddie doing last minute tuning right before the show started and he stopped and looked up at us and blew the crowd in that area a kiss and gave a thumbs up. As much as he loved the guitar, he loved his fans. I'm glad I had a chance to see him a few times live. RIP EVH

Never will we see another like him. He set the place on fire. Even at the end. Eddie was in top form here.

As great as he was at two handed tapping his picking technique was just impeccable. It was so clean. His meter and timing when he was speed picking was incredible.

I was there and R.I.P. God bless.

this made me grab my guitar

He plays and uses that hand control on that guitar like nobody else I have ever seen...

Got to meet Ed and Mike on the 1984 tour, in New York City. It was 11:00am, at Sbarro fuckin Pizza, of all places. They had on wool hats and large dark sunglasses. I knew who they were immediately and said nothing, at first. After getting my pizza, I walked by their table and quietly said "Can't wait to see yous guys tonight" and Eddie said "See ya there, man" and Mike said "Don't be late." A moment I'll take with me to the grave and beyond. They seemed like really nice people. They looked very tired, also. Yet, very relaxed. The Mighty Van Halen.

Just a One of a Kind GENIUS!! The world was a better place with you in it Eddie!! We Will always remember you!! RIP

Great tone ! The most imitated solo in the rock history.

4:42 I’ll never forget watching him play this live in 2012 and my Dad turns to me in disbelief and says “he’s doing that with a GUITAR!??” Absolute best memory of my old man

original solo ERUPTION maybe the greatest guitar solo I ever hear , simply bow me away!!!

I grew up in the 80s and I’m a shred-head also and I am no stranger to his work and so I have to say; That was the absolute best I have ever in my life heard Van Halen play🎸🎸🤘🤘 RIP Eddy Van Halen! You are one the GREATEST virtuosos ever to have lived and I don’t care what anybody else says, no one and I mean NO ONE can ever fill your shoes

Perfect. Just, perfect. You will be one of the most icon's of rock, EVER. Rest in peace, Eddie. You deserve it...

I am speechless, I was mesmerised during the whole video, he is just in another dimension, nobody does those things with a guitar

A true entertainer and performer. Hard to believe it's been almost a year.

How is it that he’s battling cancer, and is still the personification of cool? RIP Ed!

Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen 🙏🏼

No one will ever be able to top his skills, he will Always be the best musician that I know.

IT WILL TAKE HUNDREDS OF YEARS TO FOLLOW THIS MAESTRO 🎸☝️❤️

Legends never die. ❤️🎸

I was there.ありがとう、Eddie. RIP Eddie.

I was in 5th grade when their 1st album came out. I was just starting to play guitar. I can’t even play close to Eddie level but a lot of his playing techniques are in my style. Eddie left a mark on so many hard rock guitarist. He is still here with all of us rockers until we each leave this planet.

so fantastic. One of the best versions of Ed's solos. Thanks for that. Saw him in the front row for the Diver Down tour and i couldn't believe what i was seeing. Life changing. Thanks Ed...

He couldn't have been feeling right RIP. Played like a boss.

Damn he still had it here What a inavator what a legend

EDDIE'S VIRTUOSITY WAS ABSOLUTELY( INCREDIBLE)...😯

Often imitated, never duplicated. RIP EVH

The king of swing - RIP Eddie.

Iam proud with him , his Mum was Indonesian and Dutch father . my Dad was half Dutch and Indonesian Mum.

The greatest guitar player to ever live

All I can say is O MY GOD I sure do miss watching him play like that thank god for you tube

The greatest guitar player of my generation !

I really regret never seeing them live

Absolutely the best version of Eruption, he's playing it so much faster now. I guess so after playing it for 30+ years.

The Greatest of all time

The King happy at peace where he belonged!!!

Amazing!!

One and only!!! Nothing but You!!!!

so amazing....

Absolutely amazing every time

So damn incredible!!! Miss this guy so much

EVH, the ultimate best guitarist in the World! You are missed Eddie!

ผมรักคุณ เอ็ดดี้ VAN HALAN ตั้งแต่ผมอายุ17ปี จนถึงปัจจุบัน อายุของผม50ปีแล้ว คุณคือ. ฮีโร่ hero และต้นแบบในการเล่นกีตาร์ของผม ตลอดกาล RIP Eddie Van Halan👍❤️🇹🇭

Такие звуки на гитаре могут издавать только Великие гитарист. А Эдди ван Хален один из них. Вечная память великому гитаристу.

Thanks for awesome video of the Late great Eddie Van Halen; GOD on the axe! R.I.P. EVH...

Mind blowing.. RIP Eddie 😢

One of the master !!! Absolutly

The Greatest guitarist to ever walk the face of the earth

Just Awesome, and a Very Great Man..

O.G TUNE♎SLAYER🤘Thanks Eddie 4 givin us your Beautiful & Wicked tunes they will live in our hearts and never be 4gotten!!! R.I.P

Eddie solos are based on "eruption" but Iike Eddie said "Nothing planned I just go out there play whatever comes to mind as long as I finish up with the ending of eruption, I'm good to go.

Out of control! Wow

Rest In Peace Eddie, Thank you so much for the inspiration and memories!!!

I'm a Randy Rhoads fan to be honest, but living at the right time and in the right place... they respected each other. This piece showed just how much music meant to him. To hear the roar of the Marshalls, to feel it n the skin... "It is in that moment when you know it's right and you feel like a fan... that's where you belong!" ... that spot on the stage and in the light is where you belong man! The only thing left now is to jam with R.R. and see how two of the greatest inspirations argue about letting the other close the night ( like old times). Both can jam "Happy Birthday" And it will be the most awesome thing ever heard... See you soon guys.

Phenomenal and original

Just got better and better with time… he was amazing 🥲

Beautiful.

OMG ....can you remember when that came out and you were like....what in the hell was that.....let me put the needle back to the beginning???? Epic shit.

awesome, will always be my favorite guitar player

We are really miss you so much!!

A favorite solo of mine. Nailed it!!!

That was awesome! Well done, sir! This concert has been in my car's CD changer for years and now I finally have a visual!

amazing guitarist of the world..respect...

Excellent👍

Nore than amazing! Fantastic!!

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen or 👂

There's no vocabulary to express his tremendously gifted talent when he and his guitar became one..

I love how eruption changed every time he played it. the basic part was always there, but he played to the crowd. Eddie could play an audience every bit as good as he played the guitar.

Amazing ✨ すばらしい❗💓 Thank you so much uploading the video 👍 RIP Eddie 😢💐

Greatest of all time. Change my mind.

A legend on his time

Wow, sooooo good 👍🏻 and sooooo missed. Don’t know what you’ve had until it’s gone. God bless Eddie.

just WOW!!!

Alex seems to be a outstanding drummer too.

Eddies strong suit may not have been improv but, as far as overall creativity, NO ONE could touch him! RIP EVH. 💚

The Legend.

classic Historical moment thank you \m/

Wow, amazing solo

Mister Eddie Van Halen hope you can hear me we miss you no one would ever be like you

The greatest guitar player
