You certainly are young in spirit rocking out to DLR era VH 🤘

you go, ma'am!!

They were the greatest ever. Just friggin epic. Them and Ozzy

Same at 54#!🍀✌

GreetingsFromGenX🙋‍♂️🎮

Agreed. I tell my kids I'll NEVER see another guitar GOD like EVH in our lifetime. Gone too soon. Still can't believe it. Gods are supposed to live forever!!

Yep ,I'm 53, my childhood is now over.

i was JUST THINKING about all this last nite. if ur healthy and stay alive...LIFE STILL SUX BC PEOPLE U LOVE...DIE

Lovey Dovey so true. If we’re lucky enough to live longer, we watch our family and friends pass away, leaving us riddled with sorrow. This life is very short and precious.

@@debhamilton3753 Eddie is now rocking hard in heaven with the almighty!!!

You need to check out Van Halen Live Fresno 1978 and 1979 concerts.. Unbelievable Live and in their Prime

Absolutely.no doubt.

Great frontman but not a singer. Knew how to work the crowd though

I saw your name and it freaked me out. One of my best friends was named KW. The best bass player I've ever heard. We played together in our studio before he passed away. Cocaine is an evil drug. I saw VH in '82 then again with Sammy Hagar. Nobody had the energy they had. They kick ass !! Take care. ( Rusty)

Yes he was ❤

Definitely the best guitarist, and I am a Dimebag Darrell major fan

Yes he was!!

1st concert 1984 camped out for tickets

Yes ser

When they reunited in 2012, the concert was just as awesome then!

Amen, sistah!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

You mean you don’t like 12 people in tights dancing to a choreographed act?

I am so happy for going to see them 3times .. where have all the good times gone

Best ever 😊😊😊

Cool

That's our era

Cool

I’m changing mine tomorrow 😂

Its an art lost these days when a lot of people either play to backing tracks or have gotten so used to "perfect" KZfaq performances I've played 1000s of gigs, and even the most accomplished performers (and I don't claim to be at THEIR level!) will make mistakes The real mark of a Pro will be how they deal with it and either turn it into something cool or ignore it and carry on without dropping a beat

Haha,I didn't notice until you said it. They are jacked up big time. On fire !!!! (Rusty)

I noticed it too😄. Imagine being the one doing it. “oh fuck, that was too early, better go back to the intro 😆”

Dave yelled "hey" and Eddie might've thought that he was going to start the verse there

@@acdcisolated plus both are probably high and drunk as all hell who knows 😂

That's where Sean Michaels got his look 🤣

@@jegr3398 He spells his name Shawn.

@@jegr3398 who the frick is Sean Michaels? You can't be referring to The Showstopper...The Icon...Mr. Wrestlemania

My bad y'all. I meant SHAWN Michaels.

Those white spandex pants are killer!!!!

Here's my take on DLR. He wasn't even close to a great singer, yet he might have been the best front man ever.

@@nijo5427 He was the PERFECT vocalist for Van Halen. His lyrics and melodies (yes, he wrote all lyrics and melodies) and presentation complimented Edward's playing. The entire band was perfect.

@@markherring3513 Agreed! 100% They were indeed...PERFECT...to this day, I believe they are the best Rock show ever delivered. So much damn fun! 🎸

Yes! Too many whiners out there they don't appreciate something good when they got it

I totally agree.hands down the best front man. Back then in my opinion.

Yep. I love that Eddie SMILED while playing. He never bought into the whole aloof, badass guitar god template that most other greats did and do. Yet another way he was One of a Kind. He had the guts and confidence to smile. And ‘twas beautiful to behold.

Not hard when Valerie Bertinelli is YourWife

@@TheCohoon Not that playing

I would be smiling too if I was EVH

The rocker was a natural, but painfully shy. At the age of 12, to help him overcome his stage fright, Van Halen, who got his start playing with his dad, admits, his father introduced him to alcohol. "It wasn't really the partying. ... I don't mean to blame my dad, but when I started playing in front of people, I'd get so damn nervous. I asked him, 'Dad, how do you do it?' That's when he handed me the cigarette and the drink. And I go, 'Oh, this is good! It works!' For so long, it really did work. And I certainly didn't do it to party. I would do blow and I would drink, and then I would go to my room and write music."

Who's Mike?

JC JC dumbass michael anthony the bassist

@@depo1014 mike was by far the least important, no one bought a ticket to see "Mikey" lol.

Jay Wagner doesnt matter his vocals are some of the best background vocals in a rock group ever

Totally Electrifying Searing guitar, blazing drummer and wild frontman bass is well heard and an incredible bass player. Eddie forever with his beautiful smile and scorching guitar master

True, it's a simply riff but he makes it sound epic.

Do you notice he breaks into the opening vocal rhythm one bar too soon? And also at 2:27 mark he is playing the Frankenstrat.

That music sucks. Van halen way overated. Trash " music", kid stuff. David lee roth wasn't woth 2 cents either. How can people actually say this was good? I'm laughing that this even wasted recording efforts. Nothing more to say, garbage. Tony Iommi's "worse" is netter tha. V .halens so called best. Teeny bopper stuff for 15 year olds. The hec with this stuff, waste of listening. Never had a v.h. album, would be ashamed to. Done. Enough.

Eruption a timeless & incredible rock music masterpiece.

@@thomasdittemer8648What? Use proper spacing and punctuation.

Same here. Seeing captured live footage of the original VanHalen was unreal back then. Its only gotten more golden as the years pass by.

Johnny Beane you know I don't remember the first time I saw VH I was only 15 but that ain't why I don't remember.

@Johnny Beane - Hi Johnny...just left a comment here about your show...you totally rock!!!! 💗💗💗

Or buy an assigned ticket and hop over the barrier to get on the floor! Those were the days.

Lost one of the greatest guitarists in EVH and drummers in Neil Peart :(

Saw them 5 times that wasn't enough gone way to soon EVH YOU WILL LIVE ON THRU YOUR MUSIC. THE BEST GUITARIST OF MY TIME IM 59 ROCK TO VAN HALEN EVERYDAY EVERYDAY!!!

2020 does suck...lost my Dad one month after Ed died.

I've kept my concert ticket stubs from back in those days, and what makes me feel old is seeing the PRICE on those 1980's stubs: Under ten dollars, 3 of em in the first ten rows. Try that today and see if the prices match inflation. Hint: they don't. But hey, gas is still cheaper than inflation.

yeah.so true..

1000% AGREED. no artist...no band.

Indeed.

Nblp 7001 without a shadow of a doubt man, could nobody touch this bad indeed

Completely correct. No band could touch them in the early to mid 80's.

Awww you made me laugh with "you people" love David Lee Roth and Sammy and everyone who ever played in Van Halen.

So sad

​@@heavnnnsent??

Right?... nowadays, for $150, you get to just sit there and watch.. don't you dare get up, shout, or even *THINK* about smoking anything. Fuck that shit.

i feel bad for myself lmao

that's okay. at least we have Justin Bieber, amirite?

@@LTJEAB13 same

I'm right there with you Jimmy!! I might be a little old, but at least I got to see the best damn concerts ever!! Wish I could time travel, I'd go back and do it all over again!!

You would be correct in picking such a great song. The list starts behind Unchained!

Unchained always epitomized VH for me. Powerful, tight sound, and rowdy.

They were all so young and beautiful back in the day.

Reelect TRUMP!!

@@sternandrew1 wtf does that have to do with it?

@@Shoots.Co. it has everything to do with it..

Yes, that's what SSRI drugs and college music will do to people, makes them soulless.

@@sternandrew1 im not say I dont like trump I just dont think this has anything to do with it

D B I am in mourning with you, I can’t stop listening to Eddie. VH is woven into my soul. It’s so difficult to accept his passing. Just keep listening to him and surround yourself with the brilliance of their music 🎸🎸

Class of 89 here. I feel ya. Long live, Eddie

Darby, me too, class of ‘82. I can’t get over his loss. Tragic. 🎸😢

Class of 83. I feel like I've lost a family member. Just knowing he's gone makes my world sadder.

@@angeladallis8348 I can completely emphasize with your feelings. I feel exactly the same way. My heart is still broken and I cry when I listen to him. We grew up with Eddie and he was woven into our experiences and beings❤️ Thank you for sharing your feelings.

Thanks to the miracle that is the internet, you CAN watch it every frickin day!!

Basically those two, Freddie Mercury on vocals and John Entwistle on bass. Sorted.

@@NeglectedField Eddie just took Jimi Hendrix's spot in that band. Unless they can coexist in the same band. Can you imagine Jimi and Eddie together? And Keith Emerson or Jon Lord on keys! RIP EVH!

@@NeglectedField Yes! 👍

@@yes0genesis Keith moon, and John Bonham, are being joined by Neal Peart?

True that! 💗🎶 (I think the massive amounts of love, admiration & respect for Ed have truly blown his son Wolfgang away).

Excellent video!

Especially Alex!

@@Dnell-tb1yd and his tribute to Bonzo

👍🏼 Alex had a VAN HALEN DRUM SOUND like it was out of a JUNGLE I always could tell The Van Halen PRIMAL drums!!!

MEDIC ROCKS WITH DOCS - DAVID LEE ROTH’S NEW GIG

Moving Forward kanye? you are a idiot

Moving Forward Kanye-Lol 😆

Black music used to be really good,nowadays its just utter shit.....just vile.

Kangay

Never a bad show.

Michael Anthony was asked about releasing this whole show in an interview a few years ago. He said he was pretty sure that only three videos -- "Unchained," "So This Is Love?" and "Hear About it Later" were ever filmed.

WonkaVator72 I read that too, dude, but I have a hard time buying it. Who the hell brings a bunch of expensive cameras and film crews into a huge arena for two nights in a row, pays everybody and tells them to film three songs, some of which were toward the beginning of the show, some at the very end? Then just sit there with their big cameras off for most of the show. No one, that's who. MA is full of it. He just means 3 videos were edited together and mastered, but money is still on the raw footage stored somewhere. Think about it. You think they paid less for a film crew for 2 nights filming 3 songs versus the whole show? You think a multi-million dollar band with a sold out tour was trying to save pennies? The film crew was paid by the night, the same amount no matter if you asked them to film 1 song (would never happen) or the whole show. Mike, you are full of it. (I hope!)

Tom Miller they should AT LEAST give us the AUDIO!

Hopefully, the Dude will abide...

Tom Miller Jimmy Page at least gave us the 70s shows on a DVD with the full How the West Was Won album.

I hate to say this. But Eddie was the one who went into the verse too early.

@@ericnelson9111 I think you may be right. lol

The first four VH albums are masterpieces. But Fair Warning is my favorite too

Right before the bullshit really started...

Van Halen 2 is a masterpiece. that album gets so slept on it's ridiculous.

NOPE....DIVER DOWN THEIR BEST ALBUM AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT

@@teddybears4life240 I fell in love with VH during the Fair Warning period; they gave an interview on the old "Rockline" program, and Dave was just so witty, unlike other groups at the time, who took themselves so seriously.For example: " People say Ozzy is Be'elzebub, which is in error. I myself AM the son of satan, though my duties are largely ceremonial."..No other rock star has such a quote. I think it's gotta suck for Dave to have Ed's passing so close to Dave's birthday, which is October 10. I share a birthday with my mom (May 10; also the birthday of Bono of U2, and his daughter Ali, Fred Astaire, Mark David Chapman, who killed John Lennon, Sid Vicious, who killed himself, and John Wilkes Booth, who murdered Abraham Lincoln.) Not important, I just knew that...

Yes
