Agreed. Like being alive when Beethoven wrote and performed his symphonies. They were deemed noise and trash then, but now they will live forever. As will the music of EVH.
This is a fucking masterpiece. Ed lays it down here like no one else can. VHIII wasn't well received at all but live Cherone was great and the band's playing on this tour was stellar. Ed was a madman. I saw them twice this tour and they kicked ass. Eddie got sick not long after this tour and the reunion with Roth has been a mixed bag, bittersweet. I pretend that 2004 with Hagar never happened. Too bad they didn't continue with Cherone, I think their second album with him would have been fantastic.
I don't care what people say, this is my favorite VH album. Then again they all are. Now that Eddie has passed on, people will start discovering the genius of this album.
I was about to say something, but saw your post. I went to the VH concert in Adelaide for this tour. I didnt care about this album so much, however it was a chance for me to be 15ft from an all time idol of mine. RIP Eddie 5150
" Year to the day " we miss you Eddie. 😪💔 This is when you really see the body and the instrument become one. Eddie is speaking through his guitar. Amazing to watch.
One of Ed's greatest solos of all time. I am absolutely captivated by the feel and emotion that comes deep from his soul. Simply the greatest rock guitarist of all time.
You have to give Cherone credit. He had enough talent to create his own songs and to perform songs from both the Roth and Hagar eras. And never let his ego get in the way of singing songs the others wrote.
this is eddies darkest period of his life... it shows in everything.. his behavior, his look, his music... but one thing is for sure, this live solo goes to show what a master he was on both guitar, and in music. all the phrasings, the nuances, when to add the effects... hr was always thinking of the music, and he was master at that. gary cherone crushed it here.... what a sound. michael and alex are often ignored, but, they are the core sound that is van halen. the thumping bass, the smashing hi hats... pure VH.
Jesus that lead was some sick blues from another dimension. Rip king. You are already missed. I wish they had kept Gary. They would’ve put out more records with him. This band was on fire in 1998.
i think it was the heaviest album since Dave left the band Music was changing again and fans were tired of the drama Album has never got the respect it deserved ..Gary is great singer .
Heaviest since Dave? The last 2 albums with Sammy including Humans Being was heavier than anything with Dave. Hell Me Wise Magic was heaviest of stuff with Dave. Eds Guitar sound kept getting heavier through the years
Who said that Eddie wasn't as good or better than Jimmy Page ? The guy is the greatest guitar player on the planet. He can play anything with emotion or excitement.
Eddy got more fantasy and innovation. Page remain an old stone in the temple of rock with a memorable Stairway to heaven but too long song and old blues school. Both amazing, but Eddie was more modern in the same era.
Plus Eddie didn't steal music from blues musicians and claim it as his own just because it was a different arrangement. The first Zeppelin album is pur plagiarism.
what a freaking awesome song and guitar solo. sad that we will never see it played again live. I feel this was one of eddies best efforts. and Gary never got any credit . he was an awesome front man. I would defineitly pay to see this again
3 never got enough credit. I believe it was actually a great album. just bad timing. But this shit here..wow! I believe Gary did a great job singing . This was the greatest guitar solo from Eddie since 5150. I think Sammy would have killed it on this song but I am a Sammy guy. i think in the end there were some songs on this album that real VH fans very much liked. I hate that the VH brothers want to pretend like it didn't happen now. 3 is kind of a lost art now. Maybe even a cult following.
Agree. As a lifelong VH since '78, III has 2 of my all time fav songs; From Afar and Year to the Day. I think Eddie and Gary bonded more in the songwriting process than any of the singers, but it just resonates with everyone I guess.
He sounded like s*** Gary sharone you sing the crowd I think he's an idiot any Van Halen was the greatest guitar player that ever lived I'm a guitar player but you don't sing to the f****** guitar player man you sing to the audience he's an idiot that's what Gary Sharon is
They were a proper band at this point, writing songs and screwing what anyone thought about them. That's bands at their best. Sadly long-time VH fans never took to Gary.
One year ago today we lost Eddie. I remember thinking of this song a year ago looking ahead to this day and now here we are. A year to the day that he was last “ours,” but he forever will be within our hearts and souls. Great tune from a great musician as well as his compatriots. RIP, Ed.❤️
THIS SONG IS F'KING INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Eddie is amazing, you can feel every note and Cherone totally crushes it.......not your typical VH song which is why it is Cherone's swan song with VH.....
best song on vh3, bought that album when i was 10 years old and back then i thought it sucked, now i think its pretty good. Some of eddies best playing
Only good thing I can say about the Cherone era was that the band was TIGHT live. They played looser and did some more jamming and improv. Ed probably relieved he didn’t have to deal with Hagar.
at 7:53 you can feel the pain coming through that guitar.theres jimi hendrix and eddie van halen then everybody else.Alot of guitar players never site him as an influence but thats because they couldnt play his stuff the same way he does.
Sammy always said that VH had their "Stairway To Heaven" song called "Between Us Two". I have a feeling that this is that song redone. This is a great song.
Such a Gr8 Song that Most Van Halen Fans do not know......A Very Emotional Song and a Fantastic Live Performance of it on This Tour, which was probably the only time Van Halen did it....Eddie's Solo is SPECTACULAR!!!!..We were even more IN AWE of Eddie in Brissy after this Solo and The EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE chant kept going big-time.....I'm sure Alex, Mikey and Gary wud remember the Audience Response to this Song....It was Incredible!!!!...Cheers from Damo.
I'm an old school Van Halen fan but I loved this album!!! Brilliant lyrics and Eddie was incredible as usual.... RIP Eddie... thank you for a lifetime of memories!!
This was the best song performed on this tour! From the intro to the amazingly solo....in Auburn Hills he nailed it so good. Best song on VH3 besides the first two singles, as I love Fire in the Hole and Without you.....but for feel......this song has it, and shows Ed’s Jazzy influences and blues! Drips with feel from start to finish!
Gary, live, had such a stage presence. He was the best fit for VH. Awesome song wrighter. VH III was a very deep album, when many expected something like 5150. VH III shows edd at his best in guitar playing (almost like a guitar clinic), Michael Anthony's bass playing is superb, and Alex showed some real complex drumming. Then comes Gary with his skilled voice. It's an album to listen to many times.
@@igorigolnikov5830 Read his answer dweeb...he never said he could, but merely there's a tinge of Zep influence Ed grabbed and implemented it into this song.
The sad thing is that there are some amazing VH songs with Sammy and some incredible songs like this that we will never get to hear live again with DLR as singer.
What's not to love about Gary?. He's handsome, sings like hell just knocked on your door, was the singer in Extreme, he's a gentleman, dress well (he could be french actually, has someone checked this out ?) I love Gary. And I love this song and what Eddy did with it. With Gary.
So good. I remember being 16 and wanting to go to this concert but couldn't get there. Didn't know it was recorded live so its great to see now. This is probably my fav EVH solo. 3 is underrated.
One of Van Halen's GREATEST songs. It'sa crime no one knows it well.
I know right?
no doubt. probably one of the most emotion driven songs they have done.
Love it!!
Truly slept on album!!
Feelin on Balance was another emotional one too
I know it extremely well 😉
One of my favorite songs and solo by EVH!
Hands down the Greatest Guitar Player of All Time, EDDIE VAN HALEN!!! And we had the privilege to see him in our lifetime.
I had the privilege to see him that night live. Was in the audience here in Melbourne 22 years ago.
Still shedding tears over his passing. He is the definition of "Icon". He will be sorely missed. 😣
Amen!!!!!!!!
Agreed. Like being alive when Beethoven wrote and performed his symphonies. They were deemed noise and trash then, but now they will live forever. As will the music of EVH.
My third best guitar player period. Greatly missed brother. Zakk Wylde is One, And Slash And Eddie . Hands down.
A fan of all 3 versions of Van Halen. Something about this performance that is simply amazing. Ed's solo is so intense. Gary's voice is outstanding.
There's some really good stuff on III, and this is some of it. Their live performances were powerful.
I’m tellin you guys this album is aging like a fine wine! XD
Absolutely criminal to have an ad in the middle of that masterpiece.
This is a fucking masterpiece. Ed lays it down here like no one else can. VHIII wasn't well received at all but live Cherone was great and the band's playing on this tour was stellar. Ed was a madman. I saw them twice this tour and they kicked ass. Eddie got sick not long after this tour and the reunion with Roth has been a mixed bag, bittersweet.

I don't care what people say, this is my favorite VH album. Then again they all are. Now that Eddie has passed on, people will start discovering the genius of this album.
what a great comment my friend
Hopefully. I've been saying it's great since 1998.
Beautiful
I was about to say something, but saw your post. I went to the VH concert in Adelaide for this tour. I didnt care about this album so much, however it was a chance for me to be 15ft from an all time idol of mine. RIP Eddie 5150
Very true.
All this is is Van Halen with another singer. So Good
Eddie's tone is absolutely amazing
Damn! Now THAT was a guitar solo!!!!!!
This is one of Van Halen's best songs and solos. Period. Gives me chills every time.
Their Stairway to Heaven
Oh man! I could feel that solo down deep! One of Eddie's best solos!
One of my favorite EVH solos. He was so expressive/emotive with this one.
How does it get the “feedback” notes ? Is it a special pick up ?
@@asselinpower Yes. He used a Fernandes sustainer in the neck position.
Great performance. Say what you want....Gary sang the shit out of those songs.
Gary was actually a hell of a performer. This whole live show was fucking awesome!
Yes he did. 🔥
Fantastic performer. That tour was awesome
Nothing will top that solo, this deserves so much more credit
For some reason, this is hitting hard tonight. I miss EVH.
What a voice! And I'm almost in tears watching Eddie play this solo.
Eddie's solo is mind boggling, a complete mind fuck.....nuff said
100 % accurate my friend
I’m sitting here right now, getting totally mind fucked by this performance!!!
Edward performance here is out of this world man!!!!!!
EVH fingers are absolutely possessed. Something else is coming through that man. Just nothing like his playing ever...ferocious
How people can say anything negative about Gary is beyond me he is a fantastic singer and performer!
I don't think anyone was negative about him just the album and that he was a poor match. Certainly not his fault
A Year To The Day... The sad year... The sad day... R.I.P. Eddie... The legend...
" Year to the day " we miss you Eddie. 😪💔
This is when you really see the body and the instrument become one. Eddie is speaking through his guitar. Amazing to watch.
Every year on his anniversary of his passing we play this.
For me, it's one of the best tracks Van Halen has ever produced in its history.
A year to the day today 💔
One of the best van Halen concerts with his most energetic guitar style.
One of Ed's greatest solos of all time. I am absolutely captivated by the feel and emotion that comes deep from his soul. Simply the greatest rock guitarist of all time.
It's sends chills!
The solo in here is better then the studio version
Rest in Peace King Edward
The Greatest Rock and Roll guitarist of all time.
As good as Eddie is playing now he really sounded tight on this tour. What a mean tone! Fucking epic.
You have to give Cherone credit. He had enough talent to create his own songs and to perform songs from both the Roth and Hagar eras. And never let his ego get in the way of singing songs the others wrote.
I love this.. rip Eddie 10/6/21 a year to the day Eddie laid his guitar down for the last time. :(
this is eddies darkest period of his life... it shows in everything.. his behavior, his look, his music... but one thing is for sure, this live solo goes to show what a master he was on both guitar, and in music. all the phrasings, the nuances, when to add the effects... hr was always thinking of the music, and he was master at that. gary cherone crushed it here.... what a sound. michael and alex are often ignored, but, they are the core sound that is van halen. the thumping bass, the smashing hi hats... pure VH.
F-ing awesome that was!! Vh3 got a bad rap but I think it kicked ass and I'm a huge VH fan.. Gary did a awesome job 🤘🤘
What an intense, emotion packed performance - just grabs you and won't let go. Bravo. Ed, just wow.
That solo was fucking incredible
I don’t give a shit what anyone else says, this album kicked ass. Definitely deeper than their other stuff
fack what a tune!! for those about rock !
Jesus that lead was some sick blues from another dimension. Rip king. You are already missed. I wish they had kept Gary. They would’ve put out more records with him. This band was on fire in 1998.

RIP Eddie! this perform is part of the best of your own legacy to music history!
I was there in the crowd watching this. Melbourne 1998...Was amazing...
@@thejamesbondshowwithkrazyk4581 memorable!!
Who said that Eddie wasn't as good or better than Jimmy Page ? The guy is the greatest guitar player on the planet. He can play anything with emotion or excitement.
Eddie is better
Eddy got more fantasy and innovation. Page remain an old stone in the temple of rock with a memorable Stairway to heaven but too long song and old blues school.
Both amazing, but Eddie was more modern in the same era.
Plus Eddie didn't steal music from blues musicians and claim it as his own just because it was a different arrangement. The first Zeppelin album is pur plagiarism.
No. Fucking. One.
Also Eddie didn't kidnap a 14 year old for a few years before dumping her for a new underage girl
Simply the best most underrated song of all times
what a freaking awesome song and guitar solo. sad that we will never see it played again live. I feel this was one of eddies best efforts. and Gary never got any credit . he was an awesome front man. I would defineitly pay to see this again
that's ridiculous!!!! Edward almost had me at tears and that last solo with Gary......incredible...
I love Van Halen 3
Can't stop listening to this , Eddie's masterpiece just sounds like no other , don't really care for the singing !!!!
Van halenⅢはもっと評価されるべきですよ。
本当にすごい！
If this song and especially Ed's solo doesn't move you to tears, you probably aren't human. Holy smokes.
Eddie’s guitar playing, imagination, pedal work and tone are second to none, period.
Gary Cherone sings to the guitar like its a woman. He is awesome with Eddie!!!
Best solo ever
Gary was awesome.
This incredible tune will be more renown one day.
3 never got enough credit. I believe it was actually a great album. just bad timing. But this shit here..wow! I believe Gary did a great job singing . This was the greatest guitar solo from Eddie since 5150. I think Sammy would have killed it on this song but I am a Sammy guy. i think in the end there were some songs on this album that real VH fans very much liked.

Yeah you said it!! >> musicality the most diverse and open-minded album in they're collection.

@@vedodesantis4414 wow..such hate...i hope you are happy in life..life is too short my friend...smile
Best eddie solo ever. Heart felt, similar to respect the wind. His best
stfu
fu jerk
They were a proper band at this point, writing songs and screwing what anyone thought about them. That's bands at their best. Sadly long-time VH fans never took to Gary.
My favorite Eddie guitar album. You're right. Fans pucker up when I mention 111.
Rest in peace Eddie.
Fuck, what a performance!
Always come back to this solo. RIP Eddie!
Un freakin believable !!! Man, that was so emotional...EVH was pouring his soul into this song & solo. He IS THE MASTER!!
One year ago today we lost Eddie. I remember thinking of this song a year ago looking ahead to this day and now here we are. A year to the day that he was last “ours,” but he forever will be within our hearts and souls. Great tune from a great musician as well as his compatriots. RIP, Ed.❤️
It IS a crime that this song is not more well known...awesome...just awesome...glad that Gary wrote such epic lyrics to Eddies musings
A titan of a song - Long Live The King!
THIS SONG IS F'KING INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Eddie is amazing, you can feel every note and Cherone totally crushes it.......not your typical VH song which is why it is Cherone's swan song with VH.....
Freaking love this song. Love the blue'sy sound
RIP Eddie, you will never know how very loved you are.
i think VH 3 was an album where Eddie would experiment because you never heard this style of Eds playing before with Dave or Sammy.
They looked like they were having so much fun playing together!
A year to the day today oct 6 2021 we lost Ed. They will be talking about him like Beethoven or Mozart 100 years from now.
That solo tho.....
I don’t know how anyone can watch this and not think Eddie is the greatest rock guitarist ever. All of his music is astounding.
Ed puts everyone to shame with this performance. Even the likes of Hendrix and Blackmore.
best song on vh3, bought that album when i was 10 years old and back then i thought it sucked, now i think its pretty good. Some of eddies best playing
Wow Edward Van Halen at his best!! He is a beast
So frickin amazing !!! The more I listen to it the more I find it just even better from the last time I listened to it !!!
One of the best solos he’s done in a song. The most underrated VH albums
Only good thing I can say about the Cherone era was that the band was TIGHT live. They played looser and did some more jamming and improv. Ed probably relieved he didn’t have to deal with Hagar.
I love it at 4:27 when it's just Ed Alex and Mike. Boy that sounds great!!!!
at 7:53 you can feel the pain coming through that guitar.theres jimi hendrix and eddie van halen then everybody else.Alot of guitar players never site him as an influence but thats because they couldnt play his stuff the same way he does.
john fournier did you see mine....greatest halen solo ever!!!
Epic. Eddie was amazing...Gary, Mikey and Alex...all of it. Intense. 🙏
RIP TO THE KING
Sammy always said that VH had their "Stairway To Heaven" song called "Between Us Two". I have a feeling that this is that song redone. This is a great song.
I think it may be......
Except Gary f@#ked it n Sammy never came close
Amazing how he makes that guitar talk..
This was bigger than any other bands performance....a 6/8 waltz in timing, that doesn't stay 6/8. Absolutely love this masterpiece.❤
Such a Gr8 Song that Most Van Halen Fans do not know......A Very Emotional Song and a Fantastic Live Performance of it on This Tour, which was probably the only time Van Halen did it....Eddie's Solo is SPECTACULAR!!!!..We were even more IN AWE of Eddie in Brissy after this Solo and The EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE chant kept going big-time.....I'm sure Alex, Mikey and Gary wud remember the Audience Response to this Song....It was Incredible!!!!...Cheers from Damo.
Never heard this song before I dig it that solo was amazing so tasty
We SO MUCH need a proper live album & HD video from this tour.
I'm an old school Van Halen fan but I loved this album!!! Brilliant lyrics and Eddie was incredible as usual.... RIP Eddie... thank you for a lifetime of memories!!

This is definitely the "deepest" VH song, both lyrically & musically. Can't help but hear the Zeppelin influence :-)
Ray DeLeon sorry but Jimmy never ever play the solo like that
...and the Van Halen influence, too.
Hendrix and zeppelin
Amen! This is Eddie's Stairway for sure.....
@@igorigolnikov5830 Read his answer dweeb...he never said he could, but merely there's a tinge of Zep influence Ed grabbed and implemented it into this song.
This album is awesome and this live version is epic!!
The sad thing is that there are some amazing VH songs with Sammy and some incredible songs like this that we will never get to hear live again with DLR as singer.
Got to see this done live ...amazing guitar work...
Mr.Edward Van Halen!! Unreal!! The best !!
Some serious chops
Best Eddie ever
