Jesus...Ed's dealer must've gotten him the "good" cocaine that night as it literally sounds like his brain is exploding inside his skull. Huge VH fan & have listened to countless solos yet he played stuff I've never heard before or since. Just an insane level of talent. His ability to improvise is uncomparable. Read an interview long ago where he said something like "he's usually so high he doesn't know what he's playing."
One of the best versions of his standard live guitar solos . From the perspective of a guitarist I can tell you sometimes you have good and bad playing days . Even though there have always been more technically proficient guitarists then Eddie going all the way back to Django . None of these people had the originality of Eddie . Ultimately , you can tell Eddie was having a good night . He was not just going through the motions . RIP GOAT .
I saw Van Halen live 1979 through 84. This tour in 1981....he was definitely at the top of his game. His playing was blistering. Can’t believe there’s not a live recording for sale from this tour
The tapping lick at the 50 second mark is a lightning lazer bolt to the senses. Jesus,that is amazing. It sounds like something from a classic 80s arcade game, the sound of pure energy rushing through the air. Id love to see a video of him playing that particular lick. I never heard him do that in his other solos on here. Utterly incredible.
@@ZillianZilch Yeah- in Youre no Good, theres that sudden bolt of tapping that totally strikes from nowhere like that. Its so unusual compared to his other tapping sounds. That flash of sound here at the 50sec mark is just incredible! I cant stop listening to it. Id love to see a video of him playing it.
Couldn't agree more. I was 10 years old seeing those Oakland clips on MTV and to me, they might as well have been wearing capes and flying. But I'm sad now because my hero has passed onto the next dimension. ... still haven't cried since 10/6. Denial?
Eddie did what I call.. Digging In !!!! The man was no sissy playing the guitar ! I've always enjoyed players like Steve Morris, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Neal Schon etc. who "Pick" the notes ! Even tho Eddie was the innovator of legato in the late 70's early 80's and the hammer on KING.. Eddie Van Halen certainly digs in here, VAN HALEN'S live shows in 79,80,81 kicked serious ass ! They were out to prove just how "Bad Ass" they were and did ! What a great time to be alive and fresh out of high school...After we'd get done playing our show we'd go over to the Ramada Inn and hear the road bands from Florida and at the end of the night, sure enough, the DJ would play HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN Off of DIVER DOWN ! I was on the road playing music for a living and Eddie changed everything!!! I bought myself a Floyd Rose (Dive Bomber) Tremolo system ! LONG LIVE THE KING !
Another cool thing to note.. this was before the audience had heard "Cathedral" so that part of the solo was yet another technique Eddie added to his arsenal.
Start it here at 6:25 with the roaring crowd and then listen as he begins Cathedral - have you ever heard a huge stadium of Van Halen fans go completely instantly silent like that? (Love this version of Cathedral BTW - it's FIRE!)
Later on, Eddie’s solos were more structured, which was cool. But these earlier solos, he was flying by the seat of his pants and burning up the fretboard!
@@joepipe1010 Well if you want to see him find his raw energy again, watch Live Without A Net. Don’t bother with whether or not you like Sammy, but Eddie is having fun and has something to prove again.
Extremly fast, clean, articulated and energic. He has quiet a free tonal language, too. So much improvisation. He is on a very high musical, spontanious and artistic level according to all the other rock guitar players. Steve Vai and Malmsteen are not even close to this performance. Only three or four times have I heard Eddie as good as this. One was in 1977, one i 1984 and one in 2012. He usually performs extremly well, but this is so much faster than I ever would expect from him. This is probably the best guitar solo I’ve heard. Holdsworth and Lane are very tecnically talented, but this so expressive. For me, self expression is the most imortant aspect in music.
Eddie is particular and different from others guitarist more tech and fast of him. He prefere to plays nice armonies and riffs mixed with strange notes or sounds with tremolo like some Hendrix's memories and short killer solos. Love or hate.. this is the King.
@Scram Jam Malmsteen renewed a neoclassical style following Blackmore's style and his playing so fast and frenetic is 80% only to show his virtuosism. Clapton, Page or Van Halen show feeling, fantasy, armonies... Gilmour and others. After 20 minutes of Malmsteen he give you some ansiets.. but i like how he copied totally the Rainbow. So who is very innovative? No Malmsteen no Vai, two guitarists very fast and tech but empty . Eddie was more psichedelic, with strange sounds and notes out of tune.. more immediate and direct. During the years he was more complete with a better sound in the last 10 years.
It doesn’t matter how fast Vai or Malmsteen play. Speed isn’t what makes anyone good. What makes you good is how original or creative you are. There’s a reason Eddie and Jimi are considered the greatest rock guitarists ever. It’s the music, and developing your chops till you can play the music in your head if all the other greats were honest they would all tell you that Eddie and Jimi are the two greatest ever and no one else is even close. There’s a reason when a producer like Quincy Jones wants to bring in a guy to come up with a solo for “Beat It” that he doesn’t call Vai or Malmsteen or anyone else. He calls the one guy that can come in and in a few minutes come up with one of the greatest solos ever. Most guitarists are lucky to come up with one memorable solo in their careers. They flow endlessly out of Eddie. Don’t want to knock all the other guys, but it’s Eddie and Jimi then everybody else in whatever order you like.
@Scram Jam I DISAGREE.....Malmsteen and Eddie ARE 2 TOTALLY different guitar players....without a doubt Yngwie is SO technically proficient and so unbelievably fast BUT Eddie uses the fretboard and guitar in SO many different ways....tapping....harmonics volume swells....he IS THE guy that changed the way .that people look at guitar...such an innovator....Yngwie is a God for sure NO DOUBT but they are two VERY different players.....it would be an insult to both by comparing ....Rock On Scram......
Grining from ear to ear as a fellow guitarist. Heard almost ever evh solo ever and this is ed at his primw. Blistering the fretboard and his tone is legendary. EVH will always livw on. RIP Eddie 🍻
If I had to guess, I'd say that's a DiMarzio Super Distortion there in the "Rasta" guitar (before becoming the Rasta guitar). Fantastic tone and playing...as always. Those early days were so scary it was insane.
Man I was 15 in 1981 and I missed the mark I didn't catch on to van Halen til 1983 I saw a clip of this tour on a show called fm tv that came on Saturday night in August with them doing unchained live and from that time on I was hooked!
Saw this tour at the Capital Centre in Landover MD, in 1981. Going to take the benefit of the doubt and say this was the solo from the night I was there!
This is his solo from Greensboro, North Carolina. The whole show is here on youtube, it's insane. In my opinion, of all the shows we have recorded and that I've listened to, that is probably the best I've heard.
Wow! 40 years ago this year. Doesn't seem like it. I saw the Fair Warning tour in August 1981 in Charlotte, NC. Definately the best tour I saw of VH. I wish now that I had gone to the show in Greensboro the next night. This is a really good quality recording. Upload the whole show if you have it. Too bad we didnt have cell phones back then,. We'd have dozens of shows from this tour we could watch.
@@maximusfrank2835 yeah, ampli and guitar is not enough for a good tone. Sometimes eddy forget this, and his sound is so different from 76/81 golden years.
The King Of Six Strings, he was really pushing his playing, he was jamming with Allen Holdsworth in this time frame. He took his playing to a whole new level. Incredible
The One thing that Stands out in Eds playing is the Classical bits and pieces of music. He was a a classically trained pianist remember. Mozart reincarnation??🎶🎸
Amazing talent and willing to put in the work. Eddie spent every waking moment playing the guitar and it shows. He also had more "waking hours" because he stayed up all night practicing guitar high on Coke.
The more I listen to the 79-81 era of Eddie’s solos the less classical influence I hear and the more BeeBop/Jazz orientation’s I hear: The cool wandering glissandos, legato runs that crash into a chromatic, altered scale/scalar-chromatic string skipping licks, etc. To me, this is more indicative of a Jazz head than a classical head - not totally and utterly, but it’s his phrasing in those blindingly fast moments that he swings like a jazz cat. Really unique player 💯 Gifted.
THIS GIG WAS GREENSBRO NORTH CAROLINA 1981 FAIR WARNING TOUR.........IN THE 1980s I BOUGHT A VINYL RECORD BOOTLEG OF THIS GIG & WHEN I HEARD IT .....IT JUST DWARFED ALL LIVE ROCK GUITAR SOLOS FOR EMOTIONAL INTENSITY & SHEER INVENTIVENESS.....I HAD HEARD ERUPTION, SPANISH FLY, MEANSTREET INTRO & CATHEDRAL ON THE ORIGINAL STUDIO ALBUMS BUT THEY SEEMED WATERED DOWN COMPARED TO THIS INTERPOLATED LIVE RENDITION......THIS LIVE ERUPTION SOLO 81 AS A GUITAR PLAYER JUST BLEW MY HEAD OFF......I REMEMBER THE PURE SHOCK OF HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE VINYL TURNTABLE !!!......OMG.
Goddamn. There are plenty of excellent live cuts from the original era. The 'Because Roth was always drunk' excuse doesn't the fly. Why in the fuck haven't we gotten a live compilation yet?
was tempted to feed a troll but resisted....EVH innovated the instrument, from his playing style, to helping design and build guitars and amps to get his signature tones, i'm waiting for my bumble bee EVH striped series so I can play indie rock on it :)
Kinda strange to think that they had recorded one of his live seshes in 1979 and there's no sesh to watch. Only listen I guess it adds a whole new level of imagination
He played cathedral in the ‘81 solos. There is a video taped concert from ‘81 where he has it in the solo. He also did the mean streets intro in 1980 before fair warning was recorded
Some days you want chocolate, other days vanilla, strawberry, and mango. So today it's EVH -when you get bored, try Vai, Schon, Satriani, etc. Then when you get that craving for the best, you know where to find EVH.

@@kylereece1979 Kind of similar to the tapping in hear about it later too
i loved that too i’m trying to learn it
He does it once in the Largo 82 solo. Still cant figure out the fingering of that lick, but yes, its SO GOOD!
Lucky enough to have seen this 1981 tour.
Me too. Cheers.
Saw it in Oakland. VH in their prime
Jealous... that's killer
I want it to be 81 again and stay 81 so we can forever have the real van halen!! The mighty van halen!!!
Big time Ragz first time I heard eruption ..wow..wow I love VH. That's all I listen to.. no band compared to the VH secrets and sound
God. Damn 😳. Thought I had heard all his solos on UA-cam. This gave me 5,150 eargasms👂💦 . I still miss Eddie so much 😔.
When V.H were kings. 1981= at their prime.
Saw van Halen 7 times Eddie and Alex rock
Couldn't agree more. I was 10 years old seeing those Oakland clips on MTV and to me, they might as well have been wearing capes and flying. But I'm sad now because my hero has passed onto the next dimension.
... still haven't cried since 10/6. Denial?
RIP king. The lick at 00:50 is crazy
as futuristic now as it was in 1981
It’s easy to see where Nuno bettencourt got his blisteringly fast string skipping tapping licks from, Eddie was doing it all before anyone IMO.
Eddie did what I call..
Digging In !!!!
The man was no sissy
playing the guitar !
I've always enjoyed players like Steve Morris, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Neal Schon etc. who "Pick" the notes !
Even tho Eddie was the innovator of legato in the late 70's early 80's and the hammer on KING.. Eddie Van Halen
certainly digs in here, VAN HALEN'S live shows in 79,80,81 kicked serious ass !
They were out to prove
just how "Bad Ass" they were and did ! What a great time to be alive and fresh out of high school...After we'd get done playing our show we'd go over to the Ramada Inn and hear the road bands from Florida and at the end of the night, sure enough, the DJ would play
HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU,
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN Off of DIVER DOWN !
I was on the road playing music for a living and Eddie changed everything!!!
I bought myself a Floyd Rose (Dive Bomber) Tremolo system !
LONG LIVE THE KING !

Eddie Van Halen was setting the guitar world on fire and on it's ass in 1981. At his best right here. Thanks Eddie
the fact he is still comparable to todays gutarists is fing insane as well
After 1981 he lost his raw energy as if he were more relaxed with the marriage and the son...
@@joepipe1010
Well if you want to see him find his raw energy again, watch Live Without A Net. Don’t bother with whether or not you like Sammy, but Eddie is having fun and has something to prove again.
@@yourinnervoiceyourinnervoi8552
Without a Net.
Fuck King CLASSIC 🤘🤘
randy probably shit his pants when he heard this
Wow...Eddie was on point for this one. That's the most aggressive Eddie I've ever heard.
I see you absolutely EVERYWHERE

Thought I had heard all of the live solos from Ed posted on UA-cam. I was wrong, and I'm glad it came into my feed today. RIP Eddie!
The Mean Streets intro and harmonic tapping is probably the baddest into to a song ever!
EVH was at his very best till he died . Got to see him 11 times, 5 DLR yrs 6 Sammy yrs, but he was the raw wide open so non stoppable
His wildest period as a player. Fucking brilliant.
Grining from ear to ear as a fellow guitarist. Heard almost ever evh solo ever and this is ed at his primw. Blistering the fretboard and his tone is legendary. EVH will always livw on. RIP Eddie 🍻
Sounds like a bomb about to go off at the end. Insane. Rest In Peace Ed.
40 years ago !!!!
Best EVH solo ever!
Bravo!

Wow. Just wow. This is Eddie at his creative and technical peak.
Never heard that little descending part he threw in with mean street
That was cool 😉
He does the same on his ‘live without a net solo’. What he’s doing is tapping two different strings at the same time and it sounds absolutely insane
Jesus.......he was on top of his game that night.....never be another like him....love ya Eddie

Here’s how incredible this solo was: I had to listen twice to realize he never played the tapped closing of Eruption.
Yeah I noticed that too, but that's how Guitar God's play, Jimi was the same played different thing's all the time -
I think he’s got it

Yeah... Mozart comes to mind.
This is some of his best soloing I have ever heard from EVH.Does anyone know what show this may have been from?
greensboro north carolina i believe
That is some of the ANGRIEST guitar playing I've ever heard 😳😳

Cathedral in ‘81? Hmmm ... new one on me.

holy shit.

2:28-2:45 is just
Poder en estado puro 💪💪💪
que onda jaja

Im wondering where is Wolfgangs album that was supposed to be released?
THE 420th LIKE!!!!
Early version of Cathedral!
Kinda strange to think that they had recorded one of his live seshes in 1979 and there's no sesh to watch. Only listen
I guess it adds a whole new level of imagination
HE is playing parts of cathedral which was in 82'.I believe this to be his 82' solo from Diver Down.He 81' solo was very different
He played cathedral in the ‘81 solos. There is a video taped concert from ‘81 where he has it in the solo.

@@stevenplesnarski7918 Link to mean street?
k grande eddie van halen
2:36 I’ve played a lot of EVH on the guitar but this sound legit sounds like a duck!! What the heck is this lol
Where is it at?
greg wilkinson Greensboro
Eddie kinda looked like Jimmy Page
Live without a net is still better in my opinion but it could simply just be the better audio quality from that version
Yeah Live without a Net solo is wicked as well
Rite when started dating Valerie
Probably was sober and trying to impress
Eddie is King.!!
Somebody call me a doctor
Powered by Coke-a-Cola
Yeah but, 37 years later same shit different day...
and 37 years later the world of music is still changed for the better because of him
Yeah kinda like the wheel sorta caught on lol
And what guitarrist makes a better guitar solo than him?
Some days you want chocolate, other days vanilla, strawberry, and mango. So today it's EVH -when you get bored, try Vai, Schon, Satriani, etc. Then when you get that craving for the best, you know where to find EVH.
Which concert was this from?
There is no guitar player on earth that could duplicate what he did in the first minute of this lolololololol much less ten or whatever. He was a superhuman virtuoso with no peers.
