For the age of this clip and considering it's live, the quality of the sound and mix is freakin' amazing! I hope Sammy and Neal continue to rock us for many more years.
@@thomassunkel9229 I was only talking about the quality of the mix. Their ability and musicianship is without question. I really don't understand how you thought that I was insulting their chops. Of course these guys could play! They still outplay guys less than half their age today. We didn't have one too many 'shrooms today, huh? Read what I wrote again. Sober, this time.
Love how Sammy doesn't even flinch when that lady grabs him. Nowadays an artist would stop the whole show and give an hour long lecture about "personal space"...or do a walk off.
Well at this point in Sammys career he had been in Montrose, a solo artist and this side project when Journey had the singer quit. He had been a performer for almost 20 years... Lmao. I'm sure this scenario had happened many times..
Really man? I mean, we all know the this classic Procol Harum song was heavily Bach influenced, but you can't credit the band that wrote the song? LOL!
@@GeorgeTel100 LOL! that's pretty funny. First of all, this is not a direct rip of Bach. More inspired by. Secondly, you can't be called out for stealing when you have openly admitted all along what your inspirations were. Gary Booker has always been very clear about that. "If you trace the chordal element, it does a bar or two of Bach's 'Air on a G String' before it veers off. That spark was all it took. I wasn't consciously combining rock with classical, it's just that Bach's music was in me." Here is the Bach piece that is generally cited as the inspiration for the song. ua-cam.com/video/GMkmQlfOJDk/v-deo.html works
This is amazing. Sammy, when he is on, is the man. Love the original but Sammy and Neil just took this and made it theirs. This is one of those classic moments you only get so many of in music (or anything, for that matter). A HSAS reunion would be fun. Maybe with Michael Anthony?
loved hsas from day one.if anyone has missing you by hsas please let me know i have been searching with no luck thanks and by the way 5 stars for one of rock n roll's best cover.
Never saw them live.l saw journey neil. Was hitting on all cylinders that night.and those songs became the live album.the whole band was like a well oiled machine.perry was impeccable.neil became top ten guitar material.they lived up to all the hype.
Wow. This was amazing. I clicked on this video by accident, and saw a hair band, and I was about to click back when I heard their sound... Great rendition of the song!
Just seeing this now,...I picked up this LP album at a record show about 20 years ago,....for 5 bucks....got it home flipped it over, Sammy and the band signed their name by engraving the flip side and dated it 1984...my HS grad year....Don't think the guy I bought it from , knew what he had. Had to be a promo given to the radio stations here in Detroit. Scared to play it...don't wanna scratch it
"I Never, Ever Get Tired of Hearing This Song!!!". What a fantastic compilation, and understandable. I totally Enjoy this Entire Album. Thanks for this. HSAS Rocks!!
I owned the LP when it came out, copied it on cassette and played it endlessly in my car. Later owned the CD, so lucky to have that stuff collected, Schon's solos all so cool! Hopefully will find the videos on dvd too one day...
This was a song I shared with my elder sister when I was a little boy. Brings back so many memories....20 tahun kemudian aku dewasa lagu inipun mengisi hari2 ku di saat perpisahan kuliah di STIEPAR AKTRIPA YAPAR Bandung .. kenangan terindah bersama pacar dan teman. sediih n full memory kaset ini masih tersimpan warisan
Many musicians believe that this is a Perfect song ever! I guess because it's originally by J.S Bach. I know it was made to this song by Procol Harum (Fisher/Brooker) in 1967 But Neal, Sammy, Kenny n Mike make it even better in here. And I bet if Bach heard Neal's guitar today, he'd love it. HSAS all the way...I loved this band the 1st time I heard them on Q102 Tx best rock...Dallas...good ole days Thanks for posting!
I’m collecting all the versions of “A Whiter Shade of Pale.” Indeed this gives me chills as it is so pure and beautifully done. The lyrics are right on and the background sounds are magnificent. #1
This verson of this song is my favorite. I like it more than the original. Which doesnt happen much. This song is the perfect example of " You can make any subject into a hit song"... A waiter telling scary stories in a restaurant and scared a female patron.... Lmao
I just bought this cd for five bucks. I loved this tune when it came out when I was in 6th grade. Listening to the whole album Schon wanted to flippin' rock out and he tempered that impulse to forge Journey into the polished, stylized hitmaking machine it was. I love Journey, don't get me wrong. But I think Schon had a Page or a Blackmore inside him and that if this album had broken big, we would never have heard Raised on Radio. He would have been competing with Whitesnake and Def Lep.
I've been looking for years for this version of this song (wasn't finding it via "neil schon whiter shade of pale"). Stumbled on it while reading about sammy hagar on wiki. woo hoo!
Sammy hits my stage @ the Joint-Tulsa this Friday! Wish I still had this album to get signed! Then to have Neil sign when Journey gets here later this year!
Re the disagreement here between nealkang and swpaul04: You are 100% mistaken, nealkang, and swpaul04 is right. This was not the "Van Halen audition for Sammy" in any way, shape or form. Sammy's audition for VH happened ~ 2 years AFTER this HSAS show when Eddie's Lambourghini (car) broke down and he was at the repair shop talking to the mechanic (Claudio) about how Dave had just split and they were looking for a new singer. Claudio also worked on Sammy's car and said to Eddie, "call Sammy!"

Best cover EVER!! And Sammy is still rocking’ in his 70’s. Mad respect
Sammy's the man!!!
Always has been

So is Neil🤷🏼
Who even knew there was a LIVE version of this cover by this incredible concept band. Great stuff! I have the original Lp.
FANTASTIC version of one of the greatest tunes ever written.
This is a great cover by a band that I wish had done more stuff together.
Glad to find it here!!!
This line up should have done a lot more. These shows were awesome. I was at the last night in San Francisco at the Warfield.

@@papawolf60 Lucky you

They did a shitload together.
You instantly know it is Neal Schon on guitar...his tone is instantly recognizable. Great cover of a fantastic tune!

Not „considering“. Back then they knew how to play ❤

The album tracks are all from these shows . They never went into the studio .
Neal always melts with those melodic solos
Damn! This rocks. Where have I been for 14 years?
I remember this album when it was originally released, I was working in a record store and have loved it since the first time I heard it.
It was HUGE, here in the SF Bay Area - for obvious reasons lol ♫
@@1970borntorun That's where I lived & worked at the time & it was great!
Bought the cassette and have the CD now!
Man are we getting old🤣
I still own a copy on vinyl
Schon still has that amazing FAT tone and awesome melodic sensibility..... Like no other. I LOVE this version of the song.
l still keep the vinyl.

Just amazing from the guitar to the vocals
Love how Sammy doesn't even flinch when that lady grabs him. Nowadays an artist would stop the whole show and give an hour long lecture about "personal space"...or do a walk off.

Seems like I saw that someone jumped on stage at a Motley concert and Nikki stopped pretending to play bass and ran off freaked out. Lol
Nowadays you apparently go to the wrong shows.
Esque no hay mas artistas..my friend
Thank God they did this tune. Reminds me of when rock was great and america even greater, more free. Great days.
I love Neal's tone whenever and with whomever he plays.
Same here...instantly recognizable tone!
This show needs to be put out on DVD...LOVED this performance
It is on DVD. I have it
one of the best covers of all time
Have you ever heard Sammy cover Janis Joplin?
That is bloody awful anyone who thinks that is good is brain dead 😂
I saw Hagar (Montrose) at Sherwood Forest Michigan 1973, He is awesome and Neil one of the most underrated guitarists of all time
amazing.. just best of the best covers of this awesome song.. five stars for HSAS...
Sammy's voice, Neil's guitar, Bach's music - What can be better!

Shrieve and Aaronson
I was always hoping for some more work from this group. OUTSTANDING
Never forget the summer cruising in my old Z-28 with my buds cranking HSAS. Sammy and Neil... incredible.

And looks great in skin tight red leather pants, damn!!!
Sammy has jammed with some of the greatest guitarists
Ronnie Montrose
Neal Schon
Eddie Van Halen
Joe Sayriani
One of the best covers ever!!

this was rock n roll...
Fantastic Take on this song. Love the original as well
I was at that show, great songs!
Lucky dude!
Frank Bloss can you give details: where and when was it?
Don’t lie
I was at one of the Warfield shows, truly awesome concert.
Que gran recital
Sammy is awesome and the song is timeless
Mind blowing cover🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉... Fantastic.....
Sammy does this song justice!! and the band also...
This wound up being the only single from HSAS, which went to number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week ending May 26, 1984.
Something about Hagar and Schon together. Seems like the genius partnership that never started. Goddamn.
Eddie to the rescue
They truly nailed this song
I didn't know that there was a video of this show. I wore the album out.
Me too! Had it on vinyl.....
bass performance/tone outstanding!
Ahh the Red Rocker!! and Journey/Santana! these guys are were and are still awesome! HSAS!
Dont leave out Billy Squire that is his bassist. For a hyper group they were one hell of a combination.
Many musicians believe that this is a Perfect song ever! I guess because it's originally by J.S Bach. I know it was made to this song by Procol Harum (Fisher/Brooker) in 1967
But Neal, Sammy, Kenny n Mike make it even better in here.
And I bet if Bach heard Neal's guitar today, he'd love it.
HSAS all the way...I loved this band the 1st time I heard them on Q102 Tx best rock...Dallas...good ole days

Q102... TEXAS BEST ROCK! Loved hearing that at concerts in the 80's. Eff YEAH!
amazing. . the best cover from the best band of that period
Great performance
A great song Sammy Hagar does a great cover Sammy Hagar voice is powerful n an touches your heart Neal Schon does a great guitar solo 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🏋🇺🇸👍
Yea, I think that the working band name was Planet Us. I would have LOVED for that incarnation to have happened
