Crazy to think Sammy Hagar would have been close to 50 at this time and he could still sing and wail amazingly. Just shows you how much his voice has stood the test of time.
VAN HALEN 78/84 PURE GOLD...........Loved Sammy as a solo artist but its all history now. No denying the greatness of Sammy and Eddie together. R.I.P. EDDIE THE MOST EXPLOSIVE GUITARIST IN HISTORY........
@@tommcdonough6086 No denying, This collaboration took it up a notch. Didn't think Van Halen could have gotten better adding the second guitarist and the ability for keyboards live really opened up the creative doors.
And having that second guitar (although you'd hardly call Sammy a second fiddle), and the back and forth camaraderie it brings means EVH and AVH must have had huge egos to dump Sammy and MA. Dumb move, and they're shit now.
The only song that Sammy ever played guitar on a Van Halen album was Finish What Ya Started. He and his band The Circle were on Howard Stern and performed the song. With Michael Anthony in The Circle, it sounds just like the original. He was always their great background vocalist. Van Halen didn’t sound the same with Wolfgang on bass guitar. Performing all those David Lee Roth era songs in concert just didn’t sound very good. Plus, Roth was and still is not a very good singer. Michael Anthony was the guy that made the vocals sound sound good during those days. ua-cam.com/video/qwZUrVyTPJ8/v-deo.html
Always loved when VH would play this song live. Rare instance of Eddie playing with a rhythm guitar player, so he could noodle and play bits without having to worry about the chords. Then trading off of licks in the solo section was always cool, and they always seemed to just turn the tune into a big jam. Sad to think we haven't seen this in 25 years (since they didn't do it on the 2004 reunion tour).
There ..i just knew that idiot was out there somewhere Just had to use the word " underated" drugs just smoked your mind didn't it boy? What fools think these guys were ever underated? Go home stay home idiot
@@jerrymalone1100 you seem to love trolling Van Halen videos calling out anyone who uses the word "underrated" (there's 2 Rs by the way). The guy isn't wrong, Sammy's guitar-playing is pretty underrated compared to his singing.
Alex. Michael, Eddie all 3 just Jamming. Speeding up the tempo. Wow excellent timing. Sammy is playing a solo. What dream to be playing lead, while EDDIE VAN HALEN, is playing rhythm Eddie was also had great rhythm , sit down and learn some of Eddie's rythem , he's was just a master at his craft. R.i.p
Eddie van halen is the greatest along with Ritchie blackmore the 2 of tem inspired me to play the guitar since I 12 -13 years old unfortunately Eddie died but his influence on me keeps me going 😊😊❤
I’ve been on a VH binge lately and Dave’s problem as a live performer is he was either too drunk or too busy doing somersaults across the stage to do the music any justice. His writing and studio work were amazing, but Sammy seems to take his job as a live performer a lot more seriously than Dave ever did. For me Sammy’s best studio work with Van Halen came in the form of songs that were more B sides stuff that would never see air play. I always thought most of really popular Van Halen songs of that era were on the cheesy side, but I’m the type who could listen to ‘House of Pain’ over and over again and would be happy if I never heard ‘Jump’ ever again.
The fact that Sammy is technically a better singer than Dave has always been a red herring. When Sammy joined, the songwriting changed, and the band became more of a highly produced pop oriented hit machine with more radio friendly songs. If that's your thing, then more power to you. But you can't begin to compare 0U812 with Women And Children First and think the only difference is the lead singer's vocal talent.
Who says this could still be happening today obviously do not know what the sacrifices of rock and roll are... Time has caused the revolution of music and always will. Long live the best before and the best to come!
This is one of the best Van Halen songs ever! And, Dave could never have done this song because he can't go back and forth on the guitar with Eddie! Sammy Hagar is one of the coolest people in rock! And he is an outstanding musician!
You all apparently never seen Van Halen during their early club days with David Lee Roth... They were a real hardcore party hard rock band back then. Unlike what Van Halen became to be with Sammy. Don't get me wrong I'm a big Sammy Hagar fan, as a solo artist and with the band Montrose (heard of that band millennials?). But, the the real Van Halen sound and band chemistry is with David Lee Roth... You snowflakes wouldn't know at all....
@@flukyreview9128 Shaddap, you hawksucker poser. Stop pretending to be all badass just because (you claim to) have seen them in their club days. It doesn't mean that you get their music and millions of VH fans don't. I'd like to have seen you tell Ed that he and Wolfgang didn't have musical chemistry in that band.
I agree, I love them with David. But with David it was more about show than the music because Dave wanted the attention all on him. With Sammy it was purely about music because all 5 of them were true musicians. Eddie wanted to experiment more musically when Dave was around but Dave would insult his stuff with the keyboards and the more pop oriented style stuff. They both brought a lot to the table but Van Hagar felt more stable of a unit.
My favorite Van Halen will always be with DLR but man, this is tight! I was lucky to see them in Lisbon exactly on this tour, they opened for Bon Jovi, if you can imagine that. :|
I Agree with you, I have a Music Man Axis and it's impressive ..... in any amp I plug it seems like I am hearing the FUCK or BALANCE tunes ... the sound was there in the Music Man guitar ...the best EVH sound ever !
The original 4 guys albums to me are classics but live this version was the best for that not saying the albums were good...I go see Eddie when I see van Halen
I am not as fond of this version as I am of the ones in the mid to late 80s. This doesn't appear to have the uptempo and wild energy like the previous versions. Was this around the time when the wheels were starting to come off for this lineup?
This is from the ambulance tour. Ed and Al were hurt. That didn’t help the energy. The notes are all there, but the energy is a little flat. Just my opinion.
This was definitely at the end.......you can just feel it (Compared to the synergy from the "live without a net" concert.) Was this ever released on dvd?? I'd love to get it.
Crazy to think Sammy Hagar would have been close to 50 at this time and he could still sing and wail amazingly. Just shows you how much his voice has stood the test of time.
That Debut MONTROSE record in 1973 KICKS ASS and has stood the test of time, 100%! RIP Ronnie Montrose ♥
I just saw Sammy two weeks ago in Vegas. He's 75 and still sounds great.
50? Lol. Most good singers are even better at that age and get better. I'm 63 I sing professionally in my voice is better than it ever has been.
Let’s Go Sammy kick up a notch !!
🎼🎸🎸🎸there only one way too rock ….
Any body likes rocking too the king out there in 2024 ?
This is a timeless song with Sammy, with EDDIE its definitely been kicked up a notch. R.I.P. EDDIE THE MOST EXPLOSIVE GUITARIST IN HISTORY............
Eddie had to love hearing Sammy's hard hitting rhythm guitar behind his leads. What an asset Hagar was to this band.
Yep thats why Eddie kicked him out......
They hated each on this tour and soon Sammy would be gone.

MA-backing vocals just can't be replaced! !
So true.
And having that second guitar (although you'd hardly call Sammy a second fiddle), and the back and forth camaraderie it brings means EVH and AVH must have had huge egos to dump Sammy and MA. Dumb move, and they're shit now.
Sammy can say that he solo’d while Eddie played rhythm for him. That is quite a thing to be able to say.
Hell yeah!
Fuck yeah!
Sammy needed more guitar playing in Van Hagar !!

@@jeremywhitworth7299 Sammy can still sing. Dave can't.
My favourite technique of eddie: his smile!
The absolute best rock ‘n’ roll ever! Love Sammy Hagar!
These four guys were the best combination in rock ‘n’ roll history. My opinion, of course.

Well now we've got the Sammy and Satch connection doing it in 2024, killer shit
Michael Anthony is such a badass. As is the entire band of course
Sammy is the most underrated singer and guitar player of this era IMO. Never hear people talking about him
Satriani has stated that Sam is an excellent guitar player.
Jesse Thompson,
He’s a very modest person. He likes to have fun and entertain people at the same time.
There ..i just knew that idiot was out there somewhere
Just had to use the word " underated" drugs just smoked your mind didn't it boy?
What fools think these guys were ever underated? Go home stay home idiot
Jerry Malone I’m not talking about Van Halen I was talking about Sammy dumb ass. No shit Van Halen wasn’t underrated

from a time when they ruled the rock world!
So true..... miss those days....
Sad they didn't work things out. So much better than the David Lee Roth crap they did after Sam left
@@jefflawson462 I wouldn't say that... There is no doubt that the first 6 are by far the best VH albums.
They weren't ruling the world in 95.
@@whataboutrob442 They didn't mean the first 6 albums, they meant when they got back together with DLR.

Absolute legends, R.I.P. EDDIE THE MOST EXPLOSIVE 🧨 GUITARIST IN HISTORY..........
That is one sad cold crowd! When I saw them in new haven Connecticut the crowd was boiling. There will never be a band or guitarist like this ever.🎸🤟
Ikr?!
Lame crowd!
Ours in Seattle was crazy!!
Way older tho, DLR days.
☮️💜
Toronto is always lame and mellow. I know I’m from there and hate it that ppl don’t get into shows like they do esp in Europe
I really think VH should have recorded this in the studio.
agreed
No need to
RIP Eddie. Miss you already. Your music changed my life.
Man, I realy miss Eddie. No one-ever- looked like they were having as much fun on stage.
They were king of the hill for so long. Monsters of rock. Seeing them during this period was the equivalent of gold.
Al did not give up injured, he kept right on playing.
I think it’s so awesome and cool to see Sammy playing a “Red” Wolfgang guitar. That’s amazing!!
That isn't a Wolfgang, it's the Ernie Ball EVH. It wasn't called the Wolfgang until he went to Peavey
it’s an ernie ball EVH, and i’m pretty sure it was made for eddie to use but he gave it to sammy to use on van halen tours
Eddie van halen is the greatest along with Ritchie blackmore the 2 of tem inspired me to play the guitar since I 12 -13 years old unfortunately Eddie died but his influence on me keeps me going 😊😊❤
EVH is the guitar blazer!
the volume is powerful.
VH playing "House of pain" at @4:26!!!
Awesome!! Ed, you the man!!!🎸
For me: the BEST live version of the band. Dave may have been a great frontman, but vocally, he can't touch Sammy. Just my opinion.
@The Beach Guy Definitely a different version of the band, that's for sure. Different vibe and sound.
I’ve been on a VH binge lately and Dave’s problem as a live performer is he was either too drunk or too busy doing somersaults across the stage to do the music any justice.

I loved watching Ed and Sam playing together.
..my music man forever...RIP EVH...😢😢😢😭
Wish this show had a blu ray
Sammy playing eds new model guitar badassss
Super band!
Great jam here especially with Eddie and Sammy! R.I.P. Edward
RIP to the GOAT... So hard to believe
Who says this could still be happening today obviously do not know what the sacrifices of rock and roll are... Time has caused the revolution of music and always will. Long live the best before and the best to come!
Best part at 3:10...Eddie thumbs up and Mike little bass pinch at the same time and in the end the House of Pain jam
Two musicman guitar at the same moment gorgeous✨
Gotta love the jam at the end of this song.
EVH is my favorite guitar player
King of guitar
Take a great rock n roll song and add this line up to it? You have jet fuel. They just bounced so well off of each other as a band.
They still RULE!!!
AVH was on fire that night! 💥💥💥
wtf?! zAlex drumming with a neck brace on?!?! Now that's PRO!!!
That's a bad mfk Alex. Snare you drive me crazy. Listen to those drums. vh
Sammy rocks on !!!
I have seen them twice, both in 2004 and 2008 (first with Hagar then Roth) and I am still jealous of this concert.
Love the jam at the end
This is a GREAT version, love the jam at the end!
This is one of the best Van Halen songs ever! And, Dave could never have done this song because he can't go back and forth on the guitar with Eddie! Sammy Hagar is one of the coolest people in rock! And he is an outstanding musician!
This is a Sammy Hagar song from Standing Hampton.
Best lineup ever!
Never was a huge VH fan but, Damn, really like this.
If it ain't broke don't fix it......it's like any classic.....it's a classic!
Love that "Runnin With the Devil" bridge! So badass!
RIP EVH
4:06 they start playing foxey lady by jimi hendrix
That TONE!
Saw this tour. Amazing. Ed was on fire.
He had that wolfy cranked up
Would have loved to see the band with this lineup !!
Sammy Hangar is a complete musician......singer, songwriter and guitarist. Van Halen was more solid band with Sammy
That's for sure but if I get only one version of van Halen it's the Dave records for me...loved it all even cherone

I love eddie's musicman era tone, for me it's the best tone in his career，just my personal opinion
寒蝉王 Agreed! As a matter of fact, the tone he got when Mitch Malloy was briefly in the band was his best (IMHO).

Nice to hear hagar song in vvhh

Kick ass song best songs ever
Everyone wanted the wrong singer back in VH! Sammy is the man.
hell yeah
The original 4 guys albums to me are classics but live this version was the best for that not saying the albums were good...I go see Eddie when I see van Halen
Sammy is the shit, met him twice, just a regular guy.
Hey cameraman - Sammy is soloing too!!! Just stays on Eddie while Sammie is ripping haha.
This is the only way
The crowd is on valium
3:09 just a perfect moment..
Epicness!!!!!!!!
Indeed
This was my favorite song Van Hagar did live when I seen them twice cause I didn't like those years.
Nice jam!!!! Not included on the PPV!!!
It's crazy to see Sammy play an EVH guitar. It still sounds like Sammy.
Love the guitar Sammy be playing I want one Eddie just destroyed this
Sammy's playing got a lot better since Live Without a Net.
This is only, 25 years ago…
And introducing the most overqualified rhythm guitarist in rock history!
Mikes mullet rocks only 1 way!!!✌😂👍

Amazing - Not sure Ed had to show Mike how to play on the end of this as they jammed!
Hey man send Pictures evh shoes 1995 tour? Thank you i Paint my red all star shoes

This was a pay per view concert. Never released on DVD. Unfortunately.
Never realized Freddie Mercury sat in for Al from time to time!
the neck brace era

Fukin BADASS SHIT CRANK IT TO 11 DAMN \m/
The whole band looks tired and beat up. Still rocking up a storm.
Sad part is they part ways with Sammy not long after this I mean they kick ass
Awesome, I didn't know this existed. But of course, much like many concert videos, some of the camera shots sucked. Why show Al during the solos?
Wait a minute, this wasn't on the original broadcast.
