You were there with me and my friends all those surfing days down in Puerto Rico from 1980 to 1995, you were with me during my University Years, you were with me while serving in the US Military for 24 years, now my 11 years old Daughter listens to you.

    Thank God that Eddie was able to pull it together after 2004, a very dark period in his life. His beautiful playing from 2007 through 2015 was the perfect bookend to his amazing career. People need to realize that what they are watching here reflects his recovery after his initial cancer diagnosis and years of alcohol abuse. RIP Eddie. You may be gone, but your music and influence on guitar players will forever.

      I went to a 2004 show and a 2007. '04 was horrible, Ed literally looked like he was on crack. 2007 was better, but still he was not nearly as polished and presumably sober as he is here. I so wish I could have made it to one of the FUCK or Balance or even VH3 shows. Ed at the top of his game there. He looked remarkably sharp in this particular clip here, close to those glory days. Wished I could have made a '13 show. :(

      @@greasebob I saw VH on the 5150 and the F.U.C.K tours (some will yell about it being "Van Hagar" and whatnot), but he was really on his game. He was really starting to get to a dark place starting with VH3 (that song "How Many Say I" was troubling for me). Honestly, even in his last 5-6 years, he badmouthed Sammy, badmouthed Dave, and badmouthed Mikey. Eddie was a troubled genius, but that often happens with people who are just so far beyond everyone else.

You know you've achieved greatness when music scholars will be studying your work a hundred/two hundred years from now. I would've loved to have heard Beethoven play piano for the same reason. He was able to do what nobody else in his time could do except for Franz Liszt who was the finest pianist of the 19th century.

    I just love the way he holds and cradles his guitar and how he smiles as he plays. That was what got me as a teen. David Lee Who??? It was all about Eddie. His playing kind of put me in a trance. I was never one to enjoy a guitar solo until he came along. You couldn't look away. When musicians talk of the music "flowing through them" I only ever saw that with Eddie. It was so clear. It literally flowed between he and his beloved guitar. I can imagine as an awkward pre-teen him spending hours on hours with his friend Mr. Guitar. They just became the best of friends. Literally. He is/was the Kobe Bryant of guitarists. The book Koby wrote about "Thank you Basketball" is how I imagine Eddie was about his guitar. God I miss him. I feel for the troubles and tribulations he went through and know he is with God and the heavens are full of Brown Sound!

    I saw these guys back in the day when they were all in their prime. David Lee was sight to behold. He's the only front man on the planet that could balance out the sheer power that is Eddie Van Halen. Sure, Sammy is a talented and dynamic front man. But, he's no David Lee Roth. There will never be another David Lee Roth or Eddie Van Halen or Michael Anthony or Alex Van Halen. Its rather bittersweet, really. Bitter because most kids nowadays will never know what real music is like performed by real musicians who have been touched by the hand of God. Sweet because we do.

    Literally a magician with a guitar, even when old he was still innovating and inspiring.
    And the song: no pianist, no second guitar, but so rich with pure energy.
    This is one of the most powerful songs ever done on an electric guitar, love to play it.
    Awfully sorry I never got to see you live.

      Lol u just dont get it. Clearly u don't play guitar.
      Music isn't about playing fast or how technical you can get integrating scales and arpeggios into your playing.
      Its about sounding good, and being creative.
      That being said I would rather listen to Eddie play than Yengwie, Gilbert or even Vai playing. Not that I don't like their music, I just prefer Eddie's style.
      Besides Eddie has come up with some of the most memorable riffs in the history of electric guitar. You can't say that about 90% of virtuosos.
