It will never be this good again.
No truer words can be spoken.
Sadly no bro
This was 1979. Very few bands could pull this off now. All 4 dudes were locked in plus major partying included lol. Best of times
😂😂 it’s genuinely insane.
Mikey! Wish his bass was mixed like this on the albums. He is VH too! So good. His harmonies are off the chart, and his playing - so underrated!
I always said that Michaels bass in the studio wasn't all it could be, amazing bass player but Eddie will be Eddie
Often without his bass, Alex and Eddie can sound like a train that has run off the tracks. He keeps them in some semblance of time and musical root
Oh man He sounds awesome..u can hear the mix good too. This is one of the best VH shows ever imo
Don’t forget the great back up harmonies
Are you watching children?........This is what genuine Rock Stars look like!!
05:40 - pure sorcery. There will never be another.
Dude! Michaels bass in this video is killer!
Listening to Edward Van Halen is like dopamine for your fix.
I was there, 17 years old 😜❤️
I am still in amazement, how everything was wired back in the 70's,Mikes,Guitars!
I was at this show as a 14 year old kid with my buddies. Spent the day sharing a bottle of Southern Comfort in the old subway next to the arena. Spent the evening being blown away by the greatness of VH. RIP- EVH
Damn!!
Wow! the energy Omg!
Incredible
NICE, what a experience !!!
What an impressionable milestone in your life. Amazing memory to have!
45 years ago today, my late mom bought me Van Halen II on 8 Track at the late La Mirada Mall. Thank you, mom. 🙏
I still have my 8 track
Dude that's incredible.. don't ever forget how rare a time that was. 79 i was 12 n they were my fav band!
Awesome mom ! God Bless her !
The O.C. John Berwick LMH
Epic performance !! Van Halen with DLR iconic ..Michael Anthonys bass playin is phenomenal !!!
singin' too!
There will never be another Eddie Van Halen. The pure joy and mastery he exhibited was second to none. RIP, Eddie, you touched a lot of people with your music.
AH THE REAL THING SO RARE VH with Diamond Dave . Love this post
This is just untouchable. Sammy Hagar’s not a bad guy, but nothing he did could’ve ever topped this. The dynamic of the band was just so perfect at this point. They were hungry and determined to conquer the world. Firing on all cylinders. Just no-nonsense, pure attitude that transcends the actual music. This is 100 percent spirit.
The problem is that Sammy never even had 1/10th the natural charisma and showmanship that Sir Diamond Lee had --- you either have it or you don't, and Sam didn't
Agreed and Fair Warning tour was even better. They were young and hungry
I was about 19 around then and I can tell you Van Halen blew everyone away. Their live stuff was money honey.
I think Dave and Sammy are both kinda idiotic. Edward was always a players player when it came to guitarists.
Great player. May God have mercy upon him 🙏. Lots of bullshit comes with "fame"
I agree and disagree the music is just different this is youthful and with Sammy it was mature and more complex and Eddie himself became a better musician. The way it worked out was perfect
Love seeing bands back when they were young... so hungry and having fun.
Sammy who? Why is it even a contest when footage like this exists? You FM radio loving peanut gallery zilches. This is THE BAND.
This is amazing footage. Eddie's guitar was still pre-Floyd Rose in this era. It's amazing how well it stayed in tune considering how much he used the tremolo!
the divebombs put it back in tune !
I can’t believe I was alive during the reign of Van Halen. We will never see the likes of a band that has it all and firing on all cylinders and making music history like this band again.
Not with that attitude you won’t.
@@thatgamerdude.3519 name one
@@reubensane5539 Polyphia is making music history, combining challenging guitar parts and that progressive sound with hip hop. Thats pretty damn original if you ask me. And they fill stadiums just like Van Halen, Motlëy Crüe, AC/DC, all those of the times. But it’s people who refuse to listen to music that came out after 1988 that ruin music, not young, spouting musicians, like myself.
@@thatgamerdude.3519 are you fkn kidding me? Bro you spend to much time on an online world. I’m a huge fan of Polyphia ,I love them and think Tim is an amazing and innovative guitarist. But people only know him basically if you’re a guitarist that pays attention to TikTok/UA-cam guitarists. If you went to a shopping mall right now and asked the average person who they are most people wouldn’t have a clue . If you asked a Harry styles Ed Sheeran Taylor Swift Ariana Grande fan they would have no idea what you’re talking about . Polyphia their songs on not played on mainstream pop radio.
They do not sell out stadiums on their own ,they play in the afternoon w a bunch of other bands at a festival that sells out .
Van Halen was a cultural phenomenon, they were referenced in so many huge movies part of our culture,Eddie is a celebrity he was also married to a tv star and was in the tabloids .
Their songs were and are huge hits globally and known for generations to come . Kids are learning Halen songs like decades after the fact .
No one will remember Polyphia songs in a couple years.
No one hardly knows their songs .
When Halen came out rock bands weren’t being signed at the time by record labels they only wanted new wave music ,Van Halen saved Rock and opened the doors for motley Crue and all the 80s rock up until Guns N’ Roses .
When eruption came out it was like the 10 Commandments after Hendrix, it was like the Big Bang !!!
A seismic shift of guitar,more people were influenced to pick up a guitar probably than ever in history.
Almost every guitarist tried to imitate him.
He was in every magazine,there was tons of posters. He’s on The biggest selling album of all time thriller by Michael Jackson he plays on beat it.
That’s like if Tim was on a harry styles song ,but Harry sells a shit Tom of music but none of it made history.
Van Halen had catchy songs that are still being played generation after generation.
Them and AC/DC and Metallica didn’t need other bands to sell out a stadium.
Polyphia is lucky if they still out the Brooklyn bowl.
Van Halen singer was a rock god that guys envied a girls want to sleep with, Who had his own solo videos all over MTV.
Even Van Halen’s logo T-shirt and necklaces are bigger the Polyphia alone.
Let’s get real dude .
Polyphia is for online guitarist and gamers Van Halen is part of history beyond music.
When Eddie died CNN were talking about it and they were interviewed by people like Oprah
It’s not even close dude and I love Polyphia ,only my guitar friends barely know who they are . They are far from mainstream.
@@thatgamerdude.3519 just saw polyphia in dallas, they are definitely virtuosos but the energy isn't the same, no one at polyphias shows are singing, there are no lyrics. Not that the piece needs lyrics to by emotional or raw. Its just different.
I'm so fortunate to have seen VH over 8 times!!
DLR greatest frontman ever
Listen to Michael Anthony’s P-Bass “Bark”!!!
That’s some KILLER live bass tone!!!!
This is FANTASTIC but please God, unlock the vault that holds the Oakland ‘81 tapes!!!
Yesssssss!!!
Amen brother!!!
The Holy Grail
I"m 57 !!!...Was 17, 18 In 1982, What They Wait in For ????!!!!! Wit Them Oak Town Tape"s !!!!
@@belvedere24 Seriously !!! Could Not Be Said Any Better !!!
I was front row for this tour in Louisville. Hands down the most exciting concert I ever saw. Van Halen II was the most anticipated album of my life. They had proven on their first album tour they were the greatest band in the world. I was there too! RIP forever, Eddie. My hero! Dave was the ultimate frontman as well!
This version of You're no Good is better than the album version which cannot often be said. The timing is perfect
Love how prominent the bass is in the mix. Proof that Mike isn't just playing roots as Eddie once said after kicking him out. RIP and all, but Eddie was always a jerk to folks when they got kicked from the band.
From what I've read Michael was the only decent human being in the group. Absolutely fucking disgusting what they did to him too, that tells me all I need to know about the other 'personalities' of the band.
@@joearnold5836yeah they pretty much screwed Michael over in the contracts but he was so nice he never really disputed it he just wanted to be part of Van Halen 😢
Unfortunately, jerks and assholes frequently have the edge in getting ahead in the music industry. And some even make good music. But it’s bad news for the people in their immediate vicinity.
@@mattthrun-nowicki8641not just the music industry. There is no shortage of assholes in every occupation unfortunately.
@@mattthrun-nowicki8641 Yep! Just look at Gene Simmons and Nikki Sixx. Complete @ssholes.
Love the bass mix on this recording. Great lines by Mr.Anthony
Yessir
Where is the LOVE button!!! YESSSSS!!!!!!! Between the guitar, band and singing. Fantastic.
This has to be one of the best sounding recordings on video for that day with VH. You can heard everything excellent including Mike's Bass for once. As well as their almost perfect harmonies! So good!
Seriosuly listening on AirPods is a revelation - big up to this sound man who captured all 4 members in amazing clarity
VH was an absolute godsend to me at 12 years old, so grateful to them..
Talk about sharpening their teeth heading to their prime of their careers Michael Anthony man just killing it on the base and the vocals Alex David Edward I mean this is the greatest rock band ever and I can say I was blessed to see them from the very beginning to the very end
VH need to release all live footage for blu-ray box set.
All that talent and all that turmoil . Rest in peace Edward. You earned it.
I wasn’t even alive yet when they played this my parents were teenagers lol! So obviously I didn’t grow up on Van Halen but man the music hasn’t aged I love the crazy guitar work but it still has that good feeling vibe you could dance to not many bands have done that!!
OK, now I can start breathing regularly. Man. The Full Strength Diamond Dave, and in a band with a real bass player and not just a band-members son. I mean, listen to that bass playing! And Dave was as flexible as an interpretive dancer back then. Great stuff.
The Mighty Van HALEN
the energy!
Omg! Amazing!!!!!
I miss Eddy
I can't believe he's gone.
R.I.P
LOVE U EDDY
BEST GUITARIST EVER LIVED.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I miss Eddie too.
All pistons firing! Holy cow.
I've watched this video 50 times and never get tired of it. Been a fan for almost 40 years. This was VH at their finest!! \m/
Me too. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this version of Your No Good. Better than the album version. The timing of this version is perfect.
E V E R !!!!!!!!!
not at there finest here 5150 is when there where not finest the best ever sammy took them to a higher and better place the top of the world!
@@campusman1957your opinion on Hagar is as bad as your spelling. Hager blows
The 80s were around the corner! we’ll never see another band that energized during the show. I wish i could see the whole concert.
Great footage!
Damn, besides being a great lead soloist, Eddie Van Halen was one of the best rhythm guitarists in rock history. That guy was actually even a better rhythm guitarist than lead if you can believe it.
You are absolutely spot on! Ed’s rhythm playing is incredible. Everyone talks about the solos and the tapping but they’re missing how cool his playing throughout the songs are.
@@brianleonard9872 his rhythm was what made the solos so Fuckin good, the phrasing of the notes and how they weaved in and out of the rhythm section. Cos if we realistically dissect it, it’s just pentatonic on steroids and you could objectively even go as far to say people like Steve Vai were way more technically accomplished, but none of them would be able to do the same things Ed did with the same amount of notes.
Long live King Edward
He was not just rock player at all. He played SWING and R n B he had so many hats when came to rhythm. And Blues of course. But Bottoms Up is All Swing! He would almost have been able to play with those swing time groups of the 1930's and 40's. Maybe growing up with his father being a Clarinet player in those bands had an effect?
@@friguy4444 I’m the one, even hot for teacher… their father’s jazz influence left a massive imprint on Al and Ed
This is what happens when you’re the sole guitarist in a band. Takes a good ear and even better chops to merge lead and rhythm guitar
MY GOD!!
And just like that, they were gone. You can't get this stuff no more.
But those of us who lived through it have great memories of the Mighty Van Halen
[The Mighty Van Halen. Not even at their peak yet and better than any other live act at the time.]
This was at their peak, when Dave still tried to sing...
[ @@semdallinga69 their peak was FAIR WARNING, in my opinion.]
@@semdallinga69 great comment !! I totally agree.. This was there peak as a band.. Epic performance ..
@@getwhatyougive killer album !! So killer..
I consider 1978-1979 their peak, they were so extremely raw on the first two albums, and Eddies playing was even more ferocious in the beginning
Bands change. This was 1979. This is one of best live footage of Dave performing.
BEST BEST BEST GROUP TO WATCH EVVVVEER💗💗💗
Wish netflix would make a miniseries movie about VH!! They could easily make several seasons!! There's a guy on tik tok billyvh who had some pretty good suggestions for actors.
Absolutely raw and perfect.
This pretty much sums up VH II in its entirety.
The bass on these songs sound amazing.
Out of all of their badass set lists this has always been my favourite VH song. It’s just beautiful man.
Damn!!!… VH 1979 so ****ing awesome!
To all you Diamond Dave haters looks like everybody dug him here !!! This lady's and gentlemen is The Real Van Halen .......
Dave is my favorite person in the world!
Best rock frontman of all time --- I dare anyone to fight me on this
Dave just makes you happy. To see him, to see the band, gives off tremendous happy energy for infinity!
He is fkn terrible now
@@lukebuchwald9252 nowhere near it man
@@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251 --- DLR could launch a flying reverse helicopter kick (like in the Jump video) and break your jaw in two or three places
i was high AF in those days! lolz and had one more year to turn 18, then june 80 turned 18, and Women and Children First was out. and me a friend spent the whole summer at lake Murray in S OK. and listened to Van Halen all the time! we literally spent the whole summer at the lake, camped in my 76 Caddy. spent most days at the Rope Tower over past the dam, swinging off that thing all day.. and always had Van Halen cranked up. never be good times like that again! ☮
Let's get some live VH on bluray circa 1979-81. Make it happen Warner Brothers!
This is absolutely magical. The DLR era of Van Halen was impeccable. What could’ve been if they’d stayed together a little longer
Untouchable!
I forgot what a great song “You’re No Good” was!
The most magical band in the history of music.
Bullshit
Great Sound. The Bass Sounds Fat. Nice Mix. Wish Van Halen Would Bring Out An Archive Boxset Of Roth Era.😝🤘🎵🎵🎵
I’ve seen these videos a million times, but the quality here is amazing, especially the audio… And I’ve never seen the footage at the end or the credits, thank you!!!
Agreed, quality is significantly better on this video than any other clips from this show
Eddie Van Halen what a legend you respected rock music for what and you always played it the way it should be he gave so much to us all the years took it for granted but you would always be there there's always a good game and there's always an end always will be in my heart God bless your family I know Van Halen Will go on and they will rock again or always miss you already I always loved your music even if you do get crazy once in a while a good man at heart will always be in my prayers and your family as well I always respected your music I always loved your music and Van Halen I will be proud of that name say I was a Van Halen fan from day one you made Rock well and amazing and I miss you always God bless Godspeed
Oooooooooh Baby! Awesome footage and then some.
Another awesome live event from VH
Whoa this is very cool. I've seen each individual song but never together. Awesome !
By far and beyond out the greatest guitar player ever been hearing and he was self-taught like he always said I can't read a little music what a great talent what a great man Dad we love you and we miss you always long live in heaven long live this music we all know that Sam healing is just not Eddie it's the band he always respected that and they always knew it that's just a talent and a class act that he is God bless you and you and all your family members that are grieving we all are grieving Eddie but thank God we can always put them on the radio on UA-cam now it's like he's with us now that's so awesome thank God for his family letting us and sharing his music with us
The quality is fantastic. Fingers crossed the mysterious Dinosaur video is laying around somewhere looking this pristine.
Update - 6/6/21: The "So This Is Love?" dinosaur video has finally been released. What a time to be alive.
What is the Dinosaur video?
@@lukebuchwald9252 VH recorded an unseen promo video for Fair Warning back in ‘81. Nobody knows exactly what song it was for and no footage is known to exist, the only proof of it’s existence is a small handful of rare photos that show the band in a park/forest with a bunch of Dinosaur statues. You can find some of these pictures on Google if you search “Van Halen dinosaur video”.
@@VardHalen --- hmm, this is interesting --- I been a VH fan for 35 years and I never heard of this dinosaur "incident" ??
@@lukebuchwald9252 It seems to be a project that was scrapped in the early stages of development. You should definitely Google it, you’ll be able to find some neat little pictures of the “set” and the band out in the woods.
Hooray for us! Yay us!!!
Absolutely unreal footage 😮
I remember rockin this cassette (VH2) at Camp Pendleton in 79
Best ever
Damn, this is fantastic stuff! Thanks for sharing! Wish these clips would see a Blu-ray release!
They sure don't make em like this anymore 🥲
You don’t really hear anyone talking about Eddie’s backing vocals when sized up along Michael Anthony’s stellar harmonies, but here in this particular live recording and these particular songs you can hear just how good Eddie’s voice was, even especially after playing the rhythm guitar during these songs at the same time.
Both Michael and Ed’s harmonies were some of the best during their heyday for sure.
Very true. Ed himself complained about that - not getting credit for his b/vocals. He had a really good voice and you can hear it with him and Mike’s harmonies, especially on “You’re No Good”.
Eddie was actually the singer of the band before they hired David
mike fucking kills it on this one
Unreal!
Damn right Zero thumbs down....
WHAT A NIGHT!
Next fn level pure talent
Énorme groupe..des créateurs..légende de notre musique
Have never seen this- so cool some of its coming out of the vaults
please. more. i.need.more. this is a drug. but it should be mandatory. all hail the king EVH may he rest in peace
excellent
Wow! Just Awesome!!!!
The harmonies that Mike and Eddie provide is as unique to their sound, combined with Dave's vocals and Eddies guitar. Mike is a fabulous singer in his own right.
Awesome as Fuck! The original's!
IMO, Van Halen II is the most underrated album in their catalog. Great performances here.
There's nothing to throw away on VH's first six albums imo. And VH II is also one of favourites.
@@superpotiron Word.
Thank you for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8
Very Cool 🙏
VH kickn ass. Nuff said
Alex is just a beAST !!!
this is awesome,roth sounding good live on the lyrics he remembers to actually sing....the king,rest in peace brother we will never forget evh
Man those guys were electric in those days....before Dave's ego consumed him. Saw this tour in Virginia and Alex;s drumming was a lot of fun to watch, his youthful drumming had more improv than later years. All three of the front men had polished off a bottle of Jack Daniels EACH by the end of the show.
It was iced tea.
More like Eddie's ego..
Nothing comes close to Van Halen in full flight in this format.
Human lightning in a bottle.
DLR's insane energy infected everyone on the stage and in that room.
This is probably one of/the best filmed performances of the original VH lineup available. The high-quality clarity beats most of what is available on UA-cam, especially the video. I only wish it was longer.
Nothing else like it in '79
VH at their unmatched best!!
Wow❤!!!!
Saw them on this 1979 tour (Rainbow Theatre in London). Still remember David coming on stage & flouncing around looking more girlie than the girls in our crowd (we were all NWOBHM - jeans, T-shirt & leather jacket). We all burst out laughing. I guess we just weren't ready for that Cali look. Great show though. The support band was fantastic (St. Paradise - ex members of Ted Nugent & Montrose). Went out & bought their LP.
Yeah Zero Dislikes🔥🔥
It almost defies belief.
