Agree! Went to this show 3x and was absolutely blown away. This was their prime. Everyone was just all in sync and on fire. Miss these days. Wasn't expensive either.
Michael Anthony is cool af! I was manager of a Maui Tacos restaurant in Hawaii on Maui and Mad Anthony came in with his wife and family. I comped his lunch and hooked him up with some of our bottled hot sauces and a few t-shirts and hats. The next day he comes back with an autographed photo and a sweet VH t-shirt. He says, "thanks for the food, hot sauce and swag yesterday." Mr. Anthony, you're a class act and thanks for the awesome experience of meeting you and your family!
That made me smile, he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Amazing backup vocals too. This whole band are top notch musicians in each of their crafts!!!!!
our generation was so spoiled with amazing concerts! actual live performances, people playing their instruments for real.. not just singers dancing to a recording
We were spoiled, & I, for one, feel very blessed to have seen the OU812 tour at Arrowhead stadium. The music was so much better back then. As was everything else. RIP Eddie. You are missed.
Every time, anywhere. Echoing through the halls of infinity in heaven along with all the other legends that had passed well before them, along with John "Bonzo" Bonham, the eternal god of thunder. Thor? No, Bonzo. 🤘
Flawless performance? Read the Wiki. The entire thing was re-recorded in the studio because Eddie was out of tune and when they fixed that, Hagar's vocals were messed up so he had to re-record the entire show in a studio booth.
@@jimmyjackx8174 I don't know about this one, but I saw Van Halen twice. Wichita, KS May 1995 and then June in Kansas City 1995. So good had to go twice!
Saw the guys play in Melbourne in the era of this concert, got to meet the band, one of the highs I'll never forget, I'm near 60 now and still play this loud and love it like I did 40yrs ago... thanks VH, RIP Eddie you'll always be the man!

@@gjprovan Gee Graeme....a little uptight there, buddy? You seem to have missed my point. And what's this about your parents respecting the music you listened? So what.....who brought up your parents in this conversation...and what they approved of or didn't approve of is irrelevant. Man....you're scrambled, dude.
Never saw someone having so much fun playing guitar.Always smiling and having a good time,no fake grimacing ,no fake B.S..A man in his element and enjoying it.R.I.P. Eddie.🙏
He isn't resting. He's got the best of BOTH WORLDS and rocking them to the MAX!

I was born in '92, but my dad played this VHS, along with every single VH album-nonstop when I was growing up. I have the most vivid memories of my dad and I singing and dancing around our living room to Runaround and Top of the World... This band was a defining piece of my childhood. Thank you to whoever posted this.
I'm so grateful to have grown up when all this good music was being created. You could put on the radio and find great music in seconds from all genres it was a great time for music
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, OUR MOST BELOVED AND CHARISMATIC GUITARIST OF ALL TIMES PASSED AWAY. WE REMEMBER YOU WITH AFFECTION AND TODAY WE CELEBRATE LISTENING TO YOUR BEST CREATIONS, GOD BLESS YOU EDDIE.
He'll be missed very much by everyone and known to the world as one of the best guitarist of all timé. No need to be to though because he will be wh doubt we X
You gave EVH more of a "tribute" than his own family has, not counting WVH complaining about something someone might have said about something he didn't like...lol WVH better get himself on a diet and stop eating everything on the menu before he joins his father from heart disease...js That guy is probably 335 lbs or more! When you play a Gibson 335 (only a Gretch White Falcon would be bigger...lol) and it looks like a lil' EVH sized guitar, you should know there's a problem...lol
Michael Anthony is very under-rated, as a bassist and even more as back-up vocal. His high-pitch voice brings all the spice needed in every songs. What an amazing band!
He is definitely one of the best bassist and most incredible back up singer any band could ever have. Alex a all time great for his skills . What a run they had.much respect to Eddie he definitely on top of the world. Sammy, the greatest what' can u say
Yep, Michael Anthony saved David Lee Roth's ass in that era. Sammy sounded great live...DLR was shit live....unless you loved his goofy antics on stage. Personally, I never cared for any of that BS....give me some quality live vocals and music !!
No change of costumes, no back up dancers, no elaborate stage designs, no nudity, no cp's flashing...just 4 guys having a good time playing their own instruments and singing originally composed songs ..Energy, talent, raw ..miss those decade....people standing and cheering..This is what a concert is supposed to be...
@@hippi2334 G-Zs love to appear and make a splash (often thinking they're superior to their elders). There are tonnes of one-song bands that, in a year's time, no one, not even you and your little G-Z friends, will remember that they walked the earth and yet, in their brief 15-minute stints, they will never have filled stadiums, sold records and spread love and good vibes like VH. If you don't like it, go listen to your tonne of G-Z rubbish.
@@bhutch216that’s because the film cuts two nights together. the director speaks on this in the intro. nothing wrong with a costume change, though! if this is sarcasm, you got me good.
These guys are the reason I play drums! Fantastic era,growing up with them! Unfortunately we won't hear new Ed material..mind blowing guitarist. Miss you Ed...
I have TOO MUCH to say here, man ❤️ I’m not a Sammy Vs Dave guy. Sammy and Dave vs Gary, maybe...haha. Great, iconic music was made with both lineups. Having said that, this era here, in my opinion, is probably the best and most polished these guys have ever sounded. Eddie’s guitar tone is just freakin ridiculous. And as a drummer, I continue to express my disappointment at how criminally under-appreciated Alex Van Halen is. He’s the one dude that not nearly enough drummers bring up in conversation. He’s in the top 10 rock hitters of all time, far as I’m concerned. Just really sucks how these relationships fell apart. It’s the one last reunion we all wanna see.
let me help you bruh. i grew up with dave before the internet. had there been internet dave would have destroyed VH with his azz clown demenor. Hagar is an actual legit front man not some azz clown game show host ... we thought DLR was the koolest because we couldn't see what a complete dipshit he was ... i got the 84 tour tee shirt from bilouxi. can't believe i was pissed when dlr left ...
This particular era of the lineup is almost untouchable. The power of metal, the pop hooks and melody combined with the virtuosity. Everyone at the top of their game. Just WOW!
You said it.just listen to the crowd.you can hear it.theres a certain sound you hear when a crowd realizes they are witnessing majic.when a band or anything their witnessing that gels together on the magic level.they are at the vh pinnacle .all at their best.and the sound and production are on topps to.....Eddie was always chasing tone....and likewise the sound technitions and producers in collaboration with ed are always chasing and trying to improve ... They should not feel the need to do much at that point because that's the sound... Look no further... It's not easy to get the sound you no is it. And even harder to reproduce it on a nightly consistent basis... Especially with Eddie always searching for tone ....that sound was the one you mix and produce .the next album to
I know I lost my mind that day!!! I got drunk that day, been a big fan of the Mighty VH since 82. It’ll be tough everyday listening to VH and knowing ED is not around! Looking forward to Mammoth WVH!!!
Man it’s this concert that makes me miss him the most. So healthy and happy, perfect performance for everyone. What a wonderful memory to leave behind.
Sitting here hanging solo August 16, 2020. Summer of covid. First time to see extensive Concert footage of this time period of Van Halen. Man I miss those kick ass concerts!
I am stunned at Eddie's passing. Sharing that JD and coke with him and Sammy at the 93 gig in Sheffield was a priceless moment in my life. Such a brilliant human being. Rock owes you so much. 🙏
This show really makes justice to Michael Anthony. If you listen to it with good speakers or headphones, you will note how solid Mikey really was on his groove. Love it.
But Eddie said he had to video record the bass parts. So Michael Anthony knew how to play bass on ALL of their songs... EVH was a jump. And his brother is an fn Moron!!!
Who's on drums at first I thought maybe Ginger Baker or John Bonham but then I thought f*** that they're wonderful but Nick menza is a true f****** monster . What would have never been without John Bonham and Ginger Baker and Keith Moon to lead the way I'm taking a cliff burden Ronnie James Dio leading yep for sure Nick menza!!! Randy roads is taking notes as he is a great teacher not to too much of a hurry to get there but I sure would like to see it that when I die.
RIP to my favorite guitarist! This showcased the band and showed how live music and concerts should be! I can’t believe he is gone!! Rock music lost another legend today!
My dad had this on VCR tape when I was a kid growing up in the 90s. I remember setting up a bunch of stuffed animals in the living room & putting on a concert with this playing in the background. Great times lol. But man looking back on this now, I’m amazed at how tight they sounded as a band here. Every single member is just incredibly on point. I’m not a massive VH fan but they will forever be etched into my childhood memories & I have love for them. RIP Eddie Van Halen 🎸🎶
Anyone who loved Van Halen has to love Michael Anthony and hate what they did to him. He was as valuable in their rise to fame as any of the other band members. He also held it together personally through all the rock and roll days, his health, his marriage.....so much respect for this guy.
There was no need for the brother's to treat Michael Antony the way the done so. It had to be because he and Sammy Hagar got along through it all. Besides Eddie being the best guitar player in the world Michael Anthony was the best for keeping up with him. All it took was a new manager to come in and tell Eddie to get his band back from Sammy Hagar. Which was straight up bullshit.After he kick Sammy and Michael Anthony out of the band he went no where. Sammy continued writing album's after album's. With Michael Anthony. They took Michael Anthony's rights to play any VH song but they did count on him being Sammy Hagar bass player ,Don't forget Sammy wrote most of these songs with Eddie. EDDIE didnt go far when he got back with Roth and his song. Sammy Hagar was the final piece of Van Halen
@@MikeLewis1964 no, kinda the other way around if that makes sense? They fixed live mistakes etc in the studio so the audio is almost studio quality. Ultimately the video track is the earlier recorded material. I'd say it was worth it.
This is what happens when a band is hitting on all cylinders. Sounding incredible live, not missing a note. Each and every member is doing their part perfectly. Eddie is the best, but Sammy sounds incredible live; even today at 72 years old. Alex is one of the best drummers to sit behind a kit and Mikey with the thundering bass while hitting those high notes just make this one monster band. Glad the boys mended fences before Ed's passing. RIP Ed. Rock on guys!
@@Iknowthelaw13 I would question & confirm how much of this was "remixed" as you say, in the studio, after the fact. Van Halen was very well known for not liking to do much of that.
Yeah! saw them in L.A. Van Halen with Sammy like 1992 or 93 . LA Forum 3rd Section Row 12 or something like that. Great times! Great show ending! Ed was magic. the crowd was magic! Bought a XL tie die Eddie VH T shirt and wore it proudly! michael T Wyman VH fan forever
according to Sammy's book, he had to re-record the whole concert in the 5150 studios because the Van Halen brothers edited some parts (tuning issues and not keeping the tempos right.)
@@8Junio76 couldn’t tell anything was off while watching live. They played awesome and the crowd was crazy. So if that’s the case no one there knew about it.
i saw them with sammy at the save mart center back in '06 and while that was during ed's more darker times the concert was still off the charts! im just so glad i at least got to see him before he passed away!
I can’t believe that the King passed away one year ago… It’s hard to believe that Eddie is dead… this man will continue to live forever thanks to his music. Trust in god, have faith, I will meet you again Eddie… but in the other side…
Michael Anthony's high harmony is world class. Absolutely ridiculous his range; to be able to get above Sam and harmonize is just a fantastic gift. And he can still do it. Not too sure about these notes here from 30+ years ago, but he still has that high harmony. And just a great guy!
You hear that? You feel that? That's called happiness, and fun. Two things we've seemingly forgotten how to have in this day and age. It's not right that this kind of music stays in the past, we need it now more than ever.
I'm note the biggest van halen fan but this live Is beyond human... Every band member at his best Amazing songs Unreal sound The definition of a cool rock band A Ball of bursting energy, simply MESMERIZING It'Is a Classic Forever
1:13:25 you hear that Ed? Dude called you one of the best friends he's ever had in his life. I suggest you sweep all the past BS under the rug and hug it out. Life is short guys.
@@nightstalker2217 I don't blame Eddie for brushing him off. He is embarrassed by Sammy as they wasted a lot of good years to where they could have recorded more incredible stuff with DLR. First 3 tunes OK but when they start doing garbage like "When It's Love" and puke like "Right Now" it just goes to show that this version of the band should have never made it to the 90's. The songs mostly blow and I think it's time to fast forward to Diamond Dave and Wolfie with "Different Kind of Truth". The REAL Van Halen. All muscle. Not this weak shit.
Not only was Eddie a great guitarist/musician, he blazed the path that thousands if not millions if future guitarists would follow. Sure, there are people that play faster, but he was the complete package and was doing this before it was "cool" to do so. He is sorely missed today and will be for decades to come.
In my opinion this sounds looks like Led Zeppelin so it was led Zeppelin who influenced everyone who does this bluesy rock and roll with a great singer.
The pinnacle of musical talent right here. Seen them live on this tour in Atlanta. What an amazing concert. RIP Eddie, your guitar genius will forever be missed by those who appreciated it. 🤟🤟
I was 22 years old and going to Community college when this cd/vhs came in out in 1993 went straight from class to Sound Warehouse to purchase it saw the tour that summer in Denver, such great times of my youth miss them...Happy anniversary to Live: Right here, Right now!!!!
The most brilliant band I have ever seen, my jaw was on the floor the whole hour and 51 minutes!!! !I am 76 now and I am so crushed I never got to see them live. RIP Eddy, the whole band is sublime !!!!
Alex Van Halen one of his greatest solo's . When he spoke about his dad telling him to always play like its your last teared me up. Loosing your parents is the first cut by that sword. Loosing a sibling you never come back . I loss my baby brother to brain cancer then 8 months to the day I lost my middle aged brother to liver cancer 2021-2022 took my soul to grief & my heart to heaven. 🖤
As long as you take care to stay yourself, your loved ones will stay with you in your heart. And who knows ... maybe you'll be together again one day. Or forever.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. May he rest in peace. My best friend was hit hard when she lost her dad but last year she lost her sister and right now she's completely lost herself. Very sad. Bless you.
i miss my parents everyday not being able to puck up the phone and call is such a loss thankful i have a daughter who lives down the street The older we get the more family means too you
Watching this on my older brothers lazer disc as a kid is what got me into Van Halen. I was so blown away and watching Eddie play inspired me to pick up the guitar! RIP Eddie! Millions of lives wouldn't be the same without you!
I saw Van Halen live twice before 1980 and again at the 83 US festival. Many times since with Sammy. My favorite band of all time. I have plenty of personal memories with them that I will not share here. Great real true dudes. Miss you Eddie! One love ❤️
This is what did it for me this concert right here I had the double best of album then my dad gave me this on dvd for my 13th birthday and I couldn't stop watching it just the sound and their playing it's unreal and of course they are all amazing I coudlnt take my eyes off ed. He's just from another planet. I know the roth stuff is great too but I absolutely loved the Sammy period especially the F.U.C.K and balance stuff and live with Sammy they were out of this world. I can't believe I'll never get to see him live . They were on my bucket list before I die However we will have the music that will never die Thanks Eddie RIP you legend
Very good words my friend they were at the top of there game on this tour no doubt about that the fuck tour and the balance album in my opinion is the best from the Sammy era and it doesn't get much love
These guys were amazing together at this period of time you could feel the energy they had they were like all brothers a team that worked together and had fun
This would have been a fantastic live video if they had worn the same clothes both nights !! Many bands are filmed over 2 nights for a video, but they don’t change from yellow to red and back every 2 seconds. It causes seasickness to watch it
What the 535 people that unliked this video need to understand is this. This music right here. This is real music. Not the crap of today. These guys knew how to rock it and rock it hard. Eddie Van Halen rewrote the rules of the electric guitar. In fact I truly believe he rewrote the rules of Rock N' Roll forever
Maybe the fact that everything was overdubbed and fixed in the studio may have a reason to do with some of the dislike...? By the time they finished the "sweetening" it was literally a studio album w/ all new vocals in addition to massive drum overdubbing and eddie's parts. I know they are far from the first and far from the last to do this but still it sucks especially from a band you love.
This is a pure KICK YOUR ASS concert. I remember 92 like it was yesterday....Thanks so much for taking the time to upgrade the production value and sound quality....Many thanks and much respect,
You know what guys? I've listening ti Van Halen Music since 1984,,, I was 11yo, since then, I followed them. When I knew David was leaving the band, I felt that was the end. I bought the next album and did not think Samy was something bad for the band. Actually, I think that was the best thing could have happened to the band. I love VAN HALEN!!!
+Ricardo Sanchez I like both eras. Roth was never greatest singer, but he was a showman and that rubbed off on the creative element of the band. Van Halen were/are much more adventurous with Roth in the Band. Hagar is a better singer and Roth is so bad now, but the last album was much more musically creative than anything since 1984. I just think they should make up with Michael Anthony. He is a great guy. Nothing wrong with Wolfgang, but it is just wrong what they did to Michael.
+Ricardo Sanchez I saw VH in 1984, and DLR was mediocre at best. Diver down was his idea... and a pretty weak one. Sammy refreshed the band and led them to much bigger success. Sammy can sing RING around DLR and write better lyrics. Plays better guitar too. I was an INSTANT fan of 5150.
I worked event security at the civic center in Tallahassee FL in the fall of 1991 winter of 1992 and stood in front of stage left for the sound check and the entire Van Halen show. The sound check went on for at least an hour and was the entire set list. Sammy came out about half way through. It was like a private concert followed by a public concert when the audience came in. Once in a lifetime experience.
I got the left over pussy nobody else wanted on the Diver Down tour backstage in Detroit and let me tell you something even the ugly ones that I fucked had the best groupie snatch I ever or ever will have.The last one even got gangbanged by everyone after the band left for the hotel,she was a walking sperm bank when we put her and her husband in the taxi when we were done for the night 🤘🤘I miss the 80s
I wouldn't argue that this is the best era of Van Halen. It just is. Grown Men at the top of their game. And still having fun like teenagers. Professional as hell. You can't argue. This is the best of Van Halen Right Here Right Now
Saw Sammy and his Circle of Higher Spirits tour with Michael, Joe Satrianie and Jason Bonham in Charlotte Friday night. Tons of Van Halen songs. Awesome show. They really payed respect to what Eddie and Alex created. Sounded almost like the Van Halen years and at times better if that's possible. So glad they're keeping the VH music alive.
Eddie is a rock and roll guitar god. Best in the world for fills and acrobatic guitar solos.Its the way he plays with the other players which is unmatched or dam hard to find. Never a hole in the playing the whole song, it sounds like he's soloing in between lines and during pause's in the vocals. Just incredible to listen to, and don't get me started on the base, singing and drums. Just incredible group at its prime!
Eddie "used" to be this person. It's sad to see that he may have forgotten what this was all about. This tour was kinda his swan song as a rock n roll guitar extrordinaire.
EVH is the complete package. His rhythm of unmatched. He is so smooth. There are folks that are technically better. Eddie has a musical ear that no one can match. He sounds so good. When you put that together with his rhythm and solo work - the one and only. So melodic.
Too sad that Eddie is gone, but thank god we have all of these amazing memories - would love to have seen them live but watching this regularly reminds us Van Halen were the BEST and most incredible musicians - can never get enough!!
Man the memories this is bringing back, grew up with VH as my favorite band all through HS. Used to draw the VH logos all over my brown paper bag book covers... The drum solo here is amazing.
It would be a damn shame if it was forgotten, wouldn't surprise me though, now people would rather listen to a guy rap(talk basically with some stupid 5th grade level rhymes usually about how much money they got or waste) to a led zeppelin riff for example. How is that creative or make you talented? Or worth listening to, I don't get it at all and never will.
I've seen the band with both Roth and Sammy - with Sammy they just seemed to play with more abandon, were tighter, and had more punch - and seemed to have more fun ! The band knew Sammy was going to deliver every night and just kicked it in behind him - Dave was entertaining but with Sammy the band were ... musicians !
I like both Roth and Hagar, but no denying Hagar was a better singer and talent. Roth was more about being a frontman and showmanship, which worked too. At this point, the band was done with games and just wanted to be about music, and Hagar was a great fit for that.
Love Sammy's response to playing old Van Halen. "Things that aren't understood..Don't need to be discussed"....Ed's solo is not just Eruption... That was a combination of "316" "Cathedral", "Spanish fly" ,, And "Eruption " with some improvisation of a "Feedback Solo".."Mean Streets".. with a Dash of "Intruder"...By Far..The GREATEST ON STAGE GUITARIST EVER !! ⚡🎸
if you watch all the videos of eddie as he progresses you will notice that he adds those little bits to every solo spot but he NEVER shy'd away from throwing some improv into the mix to keep things fresh. if there's anything i ever learned from ed as a guitar player is to NEVER be afraid to try new things, even if you fall flat on your face live you just pick yourself back up and keep going.
@@musek5048 That's just one of the things that made him such a Guitar Guru. He had the ability to get sounds and tones out of a guitar that were clean and crisp like no one else of that time. If you heard his guitar, you knew who was playing it. Their concerts were so much better than their albums. Instead of being a structured song..."He was free to improv, and actually play "In the Moment".. "The stage"..That's where this Star Shined the Brightest. ⚡🎸
@@lakeliving2013 ah back when the concerts were the whole point of an album, so you could get a tiny taste of the amazing spectacles that many bands would pull off. now we have such amazing tools and techniques to make "perfect" sounding music but look how stale most pop music has gotten. there's something to be said about the magic that the older decades offered through each era's music.
I still regret That I didn't see them live in the 80's. As a young kid with elderly parents. I just couldn't figure out how to get four hours away to see them live. Well I gotta tickets for sammy this summer !!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I’ve seen a lot of concerts but this has got to be number one. Hagar makes Roth look like a real clown. This is rock at its finest. Everyone is at the top . Sound was unbelievable. I can’t watch any other VanHalen shows since seeing this. Makes the others look and sound second rate. Glad we have this. I listen to it everyday!!!!
Seen them 7 times over 25 years. Some of the best shows and times of my life. Will never forget Eddie sitting down on the stage in front of me and playing "316".. Those were the good old days.⚡️🎸
It has evolved. These guys were always really special. Even before VH1, htiign the LA parties. With DlR. The competition between Ed and DLR made them push it. Listen to the old stuff and you recognise the talent of then both.. But this show is in a different ballpark. I give you that.
man, i miss eddie and this band. i saw them 5 times over the years and loved every concert and wish i could have seen them many more times. van halen was always full throttle for the entire concert.
It is Great that e can watch this on TV. I have an 850 watt system and a Big TV and it sounds awesome. It's a powered mixer. Our band broke up and I used the equipment to use it for playback and it is very good. Van Halen Rocks.
@@muurimc I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this either lol I bought it on VHS when it came out in 1993. No UA-cam back then so the only concert (full concert) footage there was of Van Halen prior to this was Live Without a Net. That was good but it was only 90 minutes because they had technical difficulties and weren’t able to record the entire concert. Also it was their 1st album with Hagar so they didn’t have a lot of material yet. So when this came out to finally see a full Van Halen concert on video was absolutely mind blowing. Only complaint is that the director used 2 nights of footage and combined them so it throws you off sometimes when Hagar is wearing 1 shirt and then the next second another shirt. Eddie and Mike were smart and wore the same outfit both nights apparently lol Overall though this is an awesome F.U.C.K.ing show!
I was so pissed when DLR left in the mid eighties. I wouldn't listen to the Hagar albums until F.U.C.K. came out. I loved every song on it so I had to see what I was missing. When Hagar left after Balance I was even more pissed than I was When Roth left. 25 years on the world has lost VH forever and 8 months ago we lost the greatest guitar player of all time, and I'd give my left arm to have VH back no matter who was singing. R.I.P. Ed. Thank you for bearing your heart and soul every time you picked up a guitar. We will never forget you.
The late 80's and early 90's were such a simpler time. Van Hagar was making fun rock songs on the radio. No one had a smart phone or internet. The US wasn't at war w anyone. No one was freaking out about politics or racism everyday. It was mostly about big hair, weird clothes and having a good time. This vid brought me back 10/10.
@@guy.s8375 True, in 1991 the United States intervened in the Kuwait / Iraq conflict. But still he's right. The times were better. 1000 times. In 1990 Europe would not have let an ugly 16 year old girl from Sweden dictate what to do in terms of the climate. This kinda "New Generation" is fkn* sh* and it pisses me off.
So glad I got to see them live , it was the summer of 1991 F.U.C.K. Tour, Cincinnati Ohio, with the love of my life we’ve been together 37 yrs. I can remember this like it was yesterday ............. Best VH Lineup ever !
I think after all this time I get it. Happiness. I’ve never listened to an Eddie solo that didn’t make me instantly smile and dance they’re just pure bliss! RIP Brother! 🤘🏼❤️
R.I.P Eddy😢🙏💔 You are a MASSIVE loss to the world! Pure JOY and LOVE for these Rock Gods!! This is definitely Van Halen at their peak! Will be a life regret that I never saw VH live... especially THIS☝️ tour to witness Eddy, Alex, Sammy and Michael in their prime.
@@trurockrevivalmagazine3359 It's very sad day for me... I still remember when i heard his music first time in the radio when i was 16 years old. Then i started to learn guitar playing. Because of *HIM*

2024 and still one of my all time live shows 🔥
So many bangers in this show.
Agree! Went to this show 3x and was absolutely blown away. This was their prime. Everyone was just all in sync and on fire. Miss these days. Wasn't expensive either.
Michael Anthony is cool af! I was manager of a Maui Tacos restaurant in Hawaii on Maui and Mad Anthony came in with his wife and family. I comped his lunch and hooked him up with some of our bottled hot sauces and a few t-shirts and hats. The next day he comes back with an autographed photo and a sweet VH t-shirt. He says, "thanks for the food, hot sauce and swag yesterday." Mr. Anthony, you're a class act and thanks for the awesome experience of meeting you and your family!
Too bad he got treated shitty..wonder if he made up w Eddie?
That’s just bad ass!
That made me smile, he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Amazing backup vocals too. This whole band are top notch musicians in each of their crafts!!!!!
@@randykirk62 I heard he made up with both Sammy and Mike
Awesome
Michael Anthony was such a solid bass player and harmonizer man. He came through and delivered every time 🤟🤟🤟
Until the Jack Daniels Demon did him in. Glad he is back now.
agree with this statement.. harmonizer bass player
@@Asyafriezal😮
Yes sir as well as hitting high vocal notes backing Roth and Sammy
van helen said he had to show him how to play all the songs , he said he wasnt a good base player ,, but that was the greed speaking i think..
our generation was so spoiled with amazing concerts! actual live performances, people playing their instruments for real.. not just singers dancing to a recording
The music today can't touch the past music like Van Halen and other bands of yhe 70's & 80's.
@@michaelht52 and never will be !
I agree, everything else is crap compared to music back in the day!.
We were spoiled, & I, for one, feel very blessed to have seen the OU812 tour at Arrowhead stadium.
The music was so much better back then. As was everything else. RIP Eddie. You are missed.
@@sammelia7464 you know who was great? Jeff Lynne ELO. †
30 years later this still kicks ass all day long.
Every time, anywhere. Echoing through the halls of infinity in heaven along with all the other legends that had passed well before them, along with John "Bonzo" Bonham, the eternal god of thunder. Thor? No, Bonzo. 🤘
Sure does!
I guess that Van halen was at their peak.... Flawless performance... so much energy, so much joy... and Eddie, what a master...
I Love Jennifer from Dewey, IL
Flawless performance? Read the Wiki. The entire thing was re-recorded in the studio because Eddie was out of tune and when they fixed that, Hagar's vocals were messed up so he had to re-record the entire show in a studio booth.
@@johnnyteres only drums sound "live"..
Nah they peaked back in the early ‘80’s before Eddie became a full-blown alcoholic
@@gregbors8364 They all agreed to give up the booze in the mid 80s, it was only in the late 90s Eddie started to head towards rock bottom
I was at that concert both nights, what a great show. Rest in Peace Eddie and thanks for all of the memories!!!
What month, what year and in what city was this concert take place?
Thanks in advance.
@@jimmyjackx8174 I don't know about this one, but I saw Van Halen twice. Wichita, KS May 1995 and then June in Kansas City 1995. So good had to go twice!

Saw the guys play in Melbourne in the era of this concert, got to meet the band, one of the highs I'll never forget, I'm near 60 now and still play this loud and love it like I did 40yrs ago... thanks VH, RIP Eddie you'll always be the man!
I'm 25 years old and only just discovered van halen and jesus christ have I been missing out. Phenominal
That's awesome; you have a lifetime of inspiration to look forward to!
+Bostvik: With respect, I pray the day will come for you when you discover JESUS CHRIST and take Van Halen's name in vain.
@@joelewing4498 With a distinct lack of respect, "I pray" that the day comes when you realize you're wasting your time praying to a fantasy that not only doesn't exist; if the biblical god did exist as described in the old testament, he'd be a psychotic monster driven by such profound insecurities that he feels driven to commit genocide against his own creatures he created when they hurt his delicate feelings by not worshipping him in the manner he demanded. You're all at the mercy of an imaginary monster who extorts devotion under a regime of terrorist threats he occasionally makes good on.
@@joelewing4498 From somebody that was raised in a Christian family, kindly take your comment and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. My parents respected the music I listened to, and encouraged me to listen to all sorts of styles and genres.
@@gjprovan Gee Graeme....a little uptight there, buddy? You seem to have missed my point. And what's this about your parents respecting the music you listened? So what.....who brought up your parents in this conversation...and what they approved of or didn't approve of is irrelevant. Man....you're scrambled, dude.
Never saw someone having so much fun playing guitar.Always smiling and having a good time,no fake grimacing ,no fake B.S..A man in his element and enjoying it.R.I.P. Eddie.🙏
Only one that comes close is Satch
Many have said this. That guitar was an extension of his body.
He isn't resting. He's got the best of BOTH WORLDS and rocking them to the MAX! A little bit'a Heaven right here on Earth
Whoa you don't have to die and go to heaven
Or hang around to be born again
Just tune in to what this place has got to offer
Cause we may never be here again
(From His title song... Top Of The World)
Yes, you could tell he was happiest with that guitar slung over his shoulder. RIP Eddie and long live VH!
Can you blame him?
He had the best job in the world- being Eddie Van Halen.
I was born in '92, but my dad played this VHS, along with every single VH album-nonstop when I was growing up. I have the most vivid memories of my dad and I singing and dancing around our living room to Runaround and Top of the World... This band was a defining piece of my childhood. Thank you to whoever posted this.
Your dad is a great man!
You got me emotional here, bro, nothing like a dad setting example!
Raised right!
Your a dad had excellent taste.
I'm so grateful to have grown up when all this good music was being created. You could put on the radio and find great music in seconds from all genres it was a great time for music
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, OUR MOST BELOVED AND CHARISMATIC GUITARIST OF ALL TIMES PASSED AWAY. WE REMEMBER YOU WITH AFFECTION AND TODAY WE CELEBRATE LISTENING TO YOUR BEST CREATIONS, GOD BLESS YOU EDDIE.
He'll be missed very much by everyone and known to the world as one of the best guitarist of all timé. No need to be to though because he will be wh doubt we
X
Respect...!
It's hard to put in words how really great this group of musicians are. Alex, mike, Sammy,dave and Edward thank you!!!!.
Lay off the uppercase letters, asswipe.
You gave EVH more of a "tribute" than his own family has, not counting WVH complaining about something someone might have said about something he didn't like...lol
WVH better get himself on a diet and stop eating everything on the menu before he joins his father from heart disease...js That guy is probably 335 lbs or more! When you play a Gibson 335 (only a Gretch White Falcon would be bigger...lol) and it looks like a lil' EVH sized guitar, you should know there's a problem...lol
Michael Anthony is very under-rated, as a bassist and even more as back-up vocal. His high-pitch voice brings all the spice needed in every songs. What an amazing band!
May Eddie rest in peace, but man it was shitty of him to dump on Mike's vocal contributions to the band.
He is definitely one of the best bassist and most incredible back up singer any band could ever have. Alex a all time great for his skills . What a run they had.much respect to Eddie he definitely on top of the world. Sammy, the greatest what' can u say
True. I wish I had a bass player with such talent and charisma
Him and Eddie was beautiful at vocals. my favorite
Yep, Michael Anthony saved David Lee Roth's ass in that era. Sammy sounded great live...DLR was shit live....unless you loved his goofy antics on stage. Personally, I never cared for any of that BS....give me some quality live vocals and music !!
They were at their absolute best here. Incredible
The '86 tour Live Without a Net was their best IMO.
No change of costumes, no back up dancers, no elaborate stage designs, no nudity, no cp's flashing...just 4 guys having a good time playing their own instruments and singing originally composed songs ..Energy, talent, raw ..miss those decade....people standing and cheering..This is what a concert is supposed to be...
This Is the Way!🤟
I love these boomer comments. Nowadays there are tons of bands that do the exact same thing you described
@@hippi2334 G-Zs love to appear and make a splash (often thinking they're superior to their elders). There are tonnes of one-song bands that, in a year's time, no one, not even you and your little G-Z friends, will remember that they walked the earth and yet, in their brief 15-minute stints, they will never have filled stadiums, sold records and spread love and good vibes like VH. If you don't like it, go listen to your tonne of G-Z rubbish.
They are literally changing into different outfits throughout the entire video
@@bhutch216that’s because the film cuts two nights together. the director speaks on this in the intro. nothing wrong with a costume change, though! if this is sarcasm, you got me good.
These guys are the reason I play drums!
Fantastic era,growing up with them!
Unfortunately we won't hear new Ed material..mind blowing guitarist.
Miss you Ed...
I have TOO MUCH to say here, man ❤️ I’m not a Sammy Vs Dave guy. Sammy and Dave vs Gary, maybe...haha. Great, iconic music was made with both lineups. Having said that, this era here, in my opinion, is probably the best and most polished these guys have ever sounded. Eddie’s guitar tone is just freakin ridiculous. And as a drummer, I continue to express my disappointment at how criminally under-appreciated Alex Van Halen is. He’s the one dude that not nearly enough drummers bring up in conversation. He’s in the top 10 rock hitters of all time, far as I’m concerned. Just really sucks how these relationships fell apart. It’s the one last reunion we all wanna see.
Rob Brown Bottom line, great concert. Dave couldn’t have sang half these songs, his voice has been shit for years.
let me help you bruh. i grew up with dave before the internet. had there been internet dave would have destroyed VH with his azz clown demenor. Hagar is an actual legit front man not some azz clown game show host ... we thought DLR was the koolest because we couldn't see what a complete dipshit he was ... i got the 84 tour tee shirt from bilouxi. can't believe i was pissed when dlr left ...
Gary who ?
@@nosnerd1967 Dont say so...
Hähä, Sammy play the Guitar very well . I´m doin fun Love both...
This particular era of the lineup is almost untouchable. The power of metal, the pop hooks and melody combined with the virtuosity. Everyone at the top of their game. Just WOW!
i think they were at their best with Sammy
This is absolutely the best VH era. They were at the peak of their craft here!
Totally agree. Untouchable. A MASSIVE 4 piece band. And sooo much swagger.
@@sweetwilliam5150 I'm the best Hollywood
You said it.just listen to the crowd.you can hear it.theres a certain sound you hear when a crowd realizes they are witnessing majic.when a band or anything their witnessing that gels together on the magic level.they are at the vh pinnacle .all at their best.and the sound and production are on topps to.....Eddie was always chasing tone....and likewise the sound technitions and producers in collaboration with ed are always chasing and trying to improve ... They should not feel the need to do much at that point because that's the sound... Look no further... It's not easy to get the sound you no is it. And even harder to reproduce it on a nightly consistent basis... Especially with Eddie always searching for tone ....that sound was the one you mix and produce .the next album to
Sammy's voice. When he hits those high notes. It comes so naturally!!!
Best rock and roll band in my opinion. Really cool to hear transition between Dave and Sammy. Both so good!!
" That's what she said. '😂
Today is a rough day. Rest in Peace to the greatest rock guitarist.
Can't believe it's been over 2 months already
I know I lost my mind that day!!! I got drunk that day, been a big fan of the Mighty VH since 82. It’ll be tough everyday listening to VH and knowing ED is not around! Looking forward to Mammoth WVH!!!
One of the greatest for sure rip e.v.h...
Pure magic! Too much talent in this iconic band!
Eddie's solo was beyond words can describe, just sit down, close your eyes and listen.
Eddie signature is horse sound floyd rose.
No words needed... Their music speaks for itself. Gives me goosebumps!! ⚡️🎸
@@lakeliving2013 The best way to say it. 👍🏻
This era of Van Halen produced some amazing epic songs! Once Sammy joined the band, their sound was just on another level.
So true. SAMMY knew how to bring the house down.
Well... it was a totally different band with Sammy... I like them both, but original VH is the best.
More poppy, less bluesy. Not for me. But I agree Sammy is the better vocalist.
@@nikopoa6555 Well said!
@@nikopoa6555both eras were great. I seen them 4 times. 3 with Roth and once with Sammy. All of it was Great
Man it’s this concert that makes me miss him the most. So healthy and happy, perfect performance for everyone. What a wonderful memory to leave behind.
..and NOT dead or OLD!...happens to us all, but wouldn't it be nice if they/we could stay that age forever?....
Sitting here hanging solo August 16, 2020. Summer of covid. First time to see extensive Concert footage of this time period of Van Halen. Man I miss those kick ass concerts!
Seeing all those people packed in together enjoying music almost seems like a dream now, doesn't it?
Back when so many great rock bands we’re doing arena tours
best part? no fucking political statements from those paid to entertain us.
And this is AMAZING!!! Sammy still can sing his ass off! (Dave not so much!)
@@jefffrost7077 Ummm, Dave not at all for a loooong time. Watching him trying to do kicks and spins, even 15 yrs ago, is embarrassing.
I don't know about you guys but I come here on a regular basis, pretty much every 2-3 days. Sounds absolutely incredible every time. RIP Eddie💔
Same 👊🏻
Try the live double disc album, sounds better on CD. I keep it in my truck.
Yep...these guys are the soundtrack to my youth. RIP Eddie....
Once a week bud ✌️💗
Hate to Burst your bubble but Sammy had admitted much of this audio was re recorded in the studio by Eddie.
Michael Anthony’s bass solo here was absolutely incredible. We love you Mike RIP EVH💔 absolutely love Van Halen this concert rules!!
Literally one of the best rock bands ever. It sounds absolutely huge.
I am stunned at Eddie's passing. Sharing that JD and coke with him and Sammy at the 93 gig in Sheffield was a priceless moment in my life. Such a brilliant human being. Rock owes you so much. 🙏
Absolute greatest band ever!! Ever!! RIP EVH🙏
This show really makes justice to Michael Anthony. If you listen to it with good speakers or headphones, you will note how solid Mikey really was on his groove. Love it.
Dude Mikey absolutely CRUSHES on bass here. Unbelievably talented.
But Eddie said he had to video record the bass parts. So Michael Anthony knew how to play bass on ALL of their songs...
EVH was a jump. And his brother is an fn Moron!!!
🎯🎯🎯
R.I.P. To EVH. The legend himself and Dimebag are shreadin it up on another realm.
Who's on drums at first I thought maybe Ginger Baker or John Bonham but then I thought f*** that they're wonderful but Nick menza is a true f****** monster . What would have never been without John Bonham and Ginger Baker and Keith Moon to lead the way I'm taking a cliff burden Ronnie James Dio leading yep for sure Nick menza!!! Randy roads is taking notes as he is a great teacher not to too much of a hurry to get there but I sure would like to see it that when I die.

@@billmckivrigain543 Neil Peart
Dimebag....lol....you mean Hendrix and SRV.
And Vinnie Paul .
RIP to my favorite guitarist! This showcased the band and showed how live music and concerts should be! I can’t believe he is gone!! Rock music lost another legend today!
My favorite guitarist too. I seen them 5 times but It was before Sammy was singing. I wish I would have seen them when he was the singer too.
Shred in peace Edward, you were my favorite and thank you for gifting us with your talent.. I will listen to your music for the rest of my days.
My dad had this on VCR tape when I was a kid growing up in the 90s. I remember setting up a bunch of stuffed animals in the living room & putting on a concert with this playing in the background. Great times lol. But man looking back on this now, I’m amazed at how tight they sounded as a band here. Every single member is just incredibly on point. I’m not a massive VH fan but they will forever be etched into my childhood memories & I have love for them. RIP Eddie Van Halen 🎸🎶
@williamperri34371991, and 1992. This particular concert was in May of 1992.
Anyone who loved Van Halen has to love Michael Anthony and hate what they did to him. He was as valuable in their rise to fame as any of the other band members. He also held it together personally through all the rock and roll days, his health, his marriage.....so much respect for this guy.
100% agree - MA was the shit on base - love the guy
There was no need for the brother's to treat Michael Antony the way the done so. It had to be because he and Sammy Hagar got along through it all. Besides Eddie being the best guitar player in the world Michael Anthony was the best for keeping up with him. All it took was a new manager to come in and tell Eddie to get his band back from Sammy Hagar. Which was straight up bullshit.After he kick Sammy and Michael Anthony out of the band he went no where. Sammy continued writing album's after album's. With Michael Anthony. They took Michael Anthony's rights to play any VH song but they did count on him being Sammy Hagar bass player ,Don't forget Sammy wrote most of these songs with Eddie. EDDIE didnt go far when he got back with Roth and his song. Sammy Hagar was the final piece of Van Halen
Plus his voice, those high harmonies didn't sing themselves.
What did they do to him, just wondering thanks.
definitely Michael Anthony's a top five rock and roll bass player
This was a amazing tour. Eddie seemed so happy and played great when I saw them here in KC. RIP King 👑 Edward. Your going to be missed.
Idk if I have ever seen a happier guitarist than EVH. That man loved to play and it showed. RIP.
I totally agree. He loved what he did. They wrote great songs.
@@pennypendleton7345 he just. made it so easy...id be smiling too
This was when van Halen was tight... one of the best live performances of all time.
Sure, but actually even they admit that the whole thing was basically rerecorded in the studio
So what are you saying they are lip syncing in this live performance
@@MikeLewis1964 no, kinda the other way around if that makes sense? They fixed live mistakes etc in the studio so the audio is almost studio quality. Ultimately the video track is the earlier recorded material.
I'd say it was worth it.
ll redone in the studio 😂
@@MikeLewis1964 ffs no it was re dubbed in the studio go google
This is what happens when a band is hitting on all cylinders. Sounding incredible live, not missing a note. Each and every member is doing their part perfectly. Eddie is the best, but Sammy sounds incredible live; even today at 72 years old. Alex is one of the best drummers to sit behind a kit and Mikey with the thundering bass while hitting those high notes just make this one monster band. Glad the boys mended fences before Ed's passing. RIP Ed. Rock on guys!
Mike is Awesome and so is Wolfgang.
@@FendergtrJam This is LZ all over again! They Gel Like they are meant to BE!!!!!
@@frankwarren1233 Spot on Brother !!
Amazing how accurate they sound live. Probably because this isn't even a live show. Everything is remixed in the studio, especially the vocals.
@@Iknowthelaw13 I would question & confirm how much of this was "remixed" as you say, in the studio, after the fact. Van Halen was very well known for not liking to do much of that.
This was filmed at Selland Arena in Fresno CA over two nights of sold out shows. I was lucky enough to be there. One of the best concerts ever!
Yeah! saw them in L.A. Van Halen with Sammy like 1992 or 93 . LA Forum 3rd Section Row 12
or something like that. Great times! Great show ending! Ed was magic. the crowd was magic!
Bought a XL tie die Eddie VH T shirt and wore it proudly! michael T Wyman VH fan forever
according to Sammy's book, he had to re-record the whole concert in the 5150 studios because the Van Halen brothers edited some parts (tuning issues and not keeping the tempos right.)
@@8Junio76 couldn’t tell anything was off while watching live. They played awesome and the crowd was crazy. So if that’s the case no one there knew about it.
That is amazing that you were in attendance! WOW! What a party! :)
i saw them with sammy at the save mart center back in '06 and while that was during ed's more darker times the concert was still off the charts! im just so glad i at least got to see him before he passed away!
I can’t believe that the King passed away one year ago…
It’s hard to believe that Eddie is dead… this man will continue to live forever thanks to his music.
Trust in god, have faith, I will meet you again Eddie… but in the other side…
Michael Anthony's high harmony is world class. Absolutely ridiculous his range; to be able to get above Sam and harmonize is just a fantastic gift. And he can still do it. Not too sure about these notes here from 30+ years ago, but he still has that high harmony. And just a great guy!
You hear that? You feel that? That's called happiness, and fun. Two things we've seemingly forgotten how to have in this day and age. It's not right that this kind of music stays in the past, we need it now more than ever.
never a truer word said
Best thing was NO CAMERAS!! You were there to rock out!!
Yes!! Wish all these guys would perform together for at least one more recorded live concert!!!
They are awesome!!
Agree let the good times roll
Unfortunately this is about when things started to fall apart...alcoholism is so fucking sad
I'm note the biggest van halen fan but this live Is beyond human...
Every band member at his best
Amazing songs
Unreal sound
The definition of a cool rock band
A Ball of bursting energy, simply MESMERIZING
It'Is a Classic Forever
1:13:25 you hear that Ed? Dude called you one of the best friends he's ever had in his life. I suggest you sweep all the past BS under the rug and hug it out. Life is short guys.
Sammy reached out Eddie brushed him off
I shed a tear
@@nightstalker2217
C. ....
@@nightstalker2217 I don't blame Eddie for brushing him off. He is embarrassed by Sammy as they wasted a lot of good years to where they could have recorded more incredible stuff with DLR. First 3 tunes OK but when they start doing garbage like "When It's Love" and puke like "Right Now" it just goes to show that this version of the band should have never made it to the 90's. The songs mostly blow and I think it's time to fast forward to Diamond Dave and Wolfie with "Different Kind of Truth". The REAL Van Halen. All muscle. Not this weak shit.
@@deathmetaldouglas69 Fuckin A!
Not only was Eddie a great guitarist/musician, he blazed the path that thousands if not millions if future guitarists would follow. Sure, there are people that play faster, but he was the complete package and was doing this before it was "cool" to do so. He is sorely missed today and will be for decades to come.
In my opinion this sounds looks like Led Zeppelin so it was led Zeppelin who influenced everyone who does this bluesy rock and roll with a great singer.
The pinnacle of musical talent right here. Seen them live on this tour in Atlanta. What an amazing concert. RIP Eddie, your guitar genius will forever be missed by those who appreciated it. 🤟🤟
Well said bro, R.I.P EVH.🤘
Still listen to the live double album from this, while at work. We lost a giant of rock today. RIP EVH !!!
I was 22 years old and going to Community college when this cd/vhs came in out in 1993 went straight from class to Sound Warehouse to purchase it saw the tour that summer in Denver, such great times of my youth miss them...Happy anniversary to Live: Right here, Right now!!!!
"When it's love" has the best intro to any song that has been written. Those chords Hit me right here ♥️.
The most brilliant band I have ever seen, my jaw was on the floor the whole hour and 51 minutes!!! !I am 76 now and I am so crushed I never got to see them live. RIP Eddy, the whole band is sublime !!!!
Alex Van Halen one of his greatest solo's . When he spoke about his dad telling him to always play like its your last teared me up. Loosing your parents is the first cut by that sword. Loosing a sibling you never come back . I loss my baby brother to brain cancer then 8 months to the day I lost my middle aged brother to liver cancer 2021-2022 took my soul to grief & my heart to heaven. 🖤
As long as you take care to stay yourself, your loved ones will stay with you in your heart. And who knows ... maybe you'll be together again one day. Or forever.
@@Hazardteam Thank you so much. 💜✌🤘
I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. May he rest in peace. My best friend was hit hard when she lost her dad but last year she lost her sister and right now she's completely lost herself. Very sad. Bless you.
i miss my parents everyday not being able to puck up the phone and call is such a loss thankful i have a daughter who lives down the street The older we get the more family means too you
Bringing back amazing memories. Just turned 50 and this makes me feel like I'm in my early 20's again.
Thanks for posting the concert(s).
This is a priceless gem to be available for the world to see. I only wish I could have been at this show.
it was 2 shows and they were as awesome as you think they are!
Since the first time this album released until now 2023 still kick ass 🤘🏻
When I'm Down I know where to go to get me back up !!!! 56 Years Old And Still ROCKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Eddie
yes indeed when I need a kick start, its usually the dreams song, as seen here or with the blue angels !!!!
Watching this on my older brothers lazer disc as a kid is what got me into Van Halen. I was so blown away and watching Eddie play inspired me to pick up the guitar! RIP Eddie! Millions of lives wouldn't be the same without you!
Wow!!!!
I saw Van Halen live twice before 1980 and again at the 83 US festival. Many times since with Sammy. My favorite band of all time. I have plenty of personal memories with them that I will not share here. Great real true dudes. Miss you Eddie! One love ❤️
This is what did it for me this concert right here I had the double best of album then my dad gave me this on dvd for my 13th birthday and I couldn't stop watching it just the sound and their playing it's unreal and of course they are all amazing I coudlnt take my eyes off ed. He's just from another planet. I know the roth stuff is great too but I absolutely loved the Sammy period especially the F.U.C.K and balance stuff and live with Sammy they were out of this world.
I can't believe I'll never get to see him live . They were on my bucket list before I die
However we will have the music that will never die
Thanks Eddie
RIP you legend
Very good words my friend they were at the top of there game on this tour no doubt about that the fuck tour and the balance album in my opinion is the best from the Sammy era and it doesn't get much love
David Lee Roth was a good frontman. Vocally - cant hold a candle to Sammy. And Sammy is immortal
Agreed. Dave had looks (which he stole from Jim Dandy) and acrobatics. Sammy is better in every other category, and it's not even close.
@@joeypowell2255 but the songs were way better in Dave's era and his style fits those songs better than Sammy's.
Sammy is a boring lyricist compared to Dave who is incredibly clever
Having said that he is a great vocalist
💯
These guys were amazing together at this period of time you could feel the energy they had they were like all brothers a team that worked together and had fun
This would have been a fantastic live video if they had worn the same clothes both nights !! Many bands are filmed over 2 nights for a video, but they don’t change from yellow to red and back every 2 seconds. It causes seasickness to watch it
What the 535 people that unliked this video need to understand is this. This music right here. This is real music. Not the crap of today. These guys knew how to rock it and rock it hard. Eddie Van Halen rewrote the rules of the electric guitar. In fact I truly believe he rewrote the rules of Rock N' Roll forever
Man fuck off with that shit lol. Such a tired and baseless statement...
Maybe the fact that everything was overdubbed and fixed in the studio may have a reason to do with some of the dislike...? By the time they finished the "sweetening" it was literally a studio album w/ all new vocals in addition to massive drum overdubbing and eddie's parts. I know they are far from the first and far from the last to do this but still it sucks especially from a band you love.
This has gotta be one of the greatest concerts of all time. The band were all spot on, and Sammy's vocals sounded incredible. RIP EVH.
Simply Amazing
Idk man, 1986 in New Haven was absolutely unreal
Right Here Right Now Live is the best live album of all time !
This is a pure KICK YOUR ASS concert. I remember 92 like it was yesterday....Thanks so much for taking the time to upgrade the production value and sound quality....Many thanks and much respect,
Your kind words mean a lot to me. Thank You! Enjoy this unrepeatable masterpiece, their flawless legacy🙂
You know what guys? I've listening ti Van Halen Music since 1984,,, I was 11yo, since then, I followed them. When I knew David was leaving the band, I felt that was the end. I bought the next album and did not think Samy was something bad for the band. Actually, I think that was the best thing could have happened to the band. I love VAN HALEN!!!
+Ricardo Sanchez I like both eras. Roth was never greatest singer, but he was a showman and that rubbed off on the creative element of the band. Van Halen were/are much more adventurous with Roth in the Band. Hagar is a better singer and Roth is so bad now, but the last album was much more musically creative than anything since 1984. I just think they should make up with Michael Anthony. He is a great guy. Nothing wrong with Wolfgang, but it is just wrong what they did to Michael.
+Ricardo Sanchez
Your 100 % right, Van Halen Forever!!!
+Ricardo Sanchez I saw VH in 1984, and DLR was mediocre at best. Diver down was his idea... and a pretty weak one. Sammy refreshed the band and led them to much bigger success. Sammy can sing RING around DLR and write better lyrics. Plays better guitar too. I was an INSTANT fan of 5150.
I worked event security at the civic center in Tallahassee FL in the fall of 1991 winter of 1992 and stood in front of stage left for the sound check and the entire Van Halen show. The sound check went on for at least an hour and was the entire set list. Sammy came out about half way through. It was like a private concert followed by a public concert when the audience came in. Once in a lifetime experience.
WOW. What an experience that must have been.
Blink twice if you're deaf in one ear
I got the left over pussy nobody else wanted on the Diver Down tour backstage in Detroit and let me tell you something even the ugly ones that I fucked had the best groupie snatch I ever or ever will have.The last one even got gangbanged by everyone after the band left for the hotel,she was a walking sperm bank when we put her and her husband in the taxi when we were done for the night 🤘🤘I miss the 80s
You are one lucky dude
wow that is awesome
No denying this was by far the best amazing group of guys to ever walk the stage of ROCK & ROLL!!!!
RIP Eddie...You will not be forgotten!
EPIC VIDEO, THANKYOU. MARCH 27, 2023
I wouldn't argue that this is the best era of Van Halen. It just is. Grown Men at the top of their game. And still having fun like teenagers. Professional as hell. You can't argue. This is the best of Van Halen Right Here Right Now
... and here I am again 4 months later, but this time without Edward. RIP friend.
Van Halen live at their absolute best. Period.
Epic concert!!!!! Live and full of emotion that night!!!!!!
Saw Sammy and his Circle of Higher Spirits tour with Michael, Joe Satrianie and Jason Bonham in Charlotte Friday night. Tons of Van Halen songs. Awesome show. They really payed respect to what Eddie and Alex created.
Sounded almost like the Van Halen years and at times better if that's possible.
So glad they're keeping the VH music alive.
Eddie is a rock and roll guitar god. Best in the world for fills and acrobatic guitar solos.Its the way he plays with the other players which is unmatched or dam hard to find. Never a hole in the playing the whole song, it sounds like he's soloing in between lines and during pause's in the vocals. Just incredible to listen to, and don't get me started on the base, singing and drums. Just incredible group at its prime!
SharpZed THE ROCK GOD
Totally agree
just the way he carries himself with that guitar, you can only do that if it's an extension of your limbs and wired to your brain cells
Eddie "used" to be this person. It's sad to see that he may have forgotten what this was all about. This tour was kinda his swan song as a rock n roll guitar extrordinaire.
EVH is the complete package. His rhythm of unmatched. He is so smooth. There are folks that are technically better. Eddie has a musical ear that no one can match. He sounds so good. When you put that together with his rhythm and solo work - the one and only. So melodic.
Too sad that Eddie is gone, but thank god we have all of these amazing memories - would love to have seen them live but watching this regularly reminds us Van Halen were the BEST and most incredible musicians - can never get enough!!
Wow just wow, can’t BELIEVE eddy is gone. This was the top of the top for VH!!!
May he Rest In Peace!!! We miss you eddy!!
Ed was one of the kind! RIP
Rip baby missed
Man the memories this is bringing back, grew up with VH as my favorite band all through HS. Used to draw the VH logos all over my brown paper bag book covers... The drum solo here is amazing.
Out of all his supersolo performances, for me, this is his absolute peak and the best ever recorded. Perfection!!!
I went to VH concert, I screamed my ass off because it was so damn good. The music...RIP Eddie. You'll never be forgotten.
It would be a damn shame if it was forgotten, wouldn't surprise me though, now people would rather listen to a guy rap(talk basically with some stupid 5th grade level rhymes usually about how much money they got or waste) to a led zeppelin riff for example. How is that creative or make you talented? Or worth listening to, I don't get it at all and never will.
I've seen the band with both Roth and Sammy - with Sammy they just seemed to play with more abandon, were tighter, and had more punch - and seemed to have more fun ! The band knew Sammy was going to deliver every night and just kicked it in behind him - Dave was entertaining but with Sammy the band were ... musicians !
John McLelland good take, I agree. Still prefer the Dave catalogue but Sammy clearly better live in every aspect. Love em both
yes-but you cannot argue Dave l Roth was more attractive.
I like both Roth and Hagar, but no denying Hagar was a better singer and talent. Roth was more about being a frontman and showmanship, which worked too. At this point, the band was done with games and just wanted to be about music, and Hagar was a great fit for that.
I prefer the DLR collection of albums, but I do agree they were better live with Sammy.
Thank you!!!!! RIP EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!!❤ YOU ! YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!! Thank you Micheal, Alex, Sammy and David !!!!
Van Halen in these years was unequalled. I think I saw six shows in a 2-3 year span. All were this good.
Love Sammy's response to playing old Van Halen. "Things that aren't understood..Don't need to be discussed"....Ed's solo is not just Eruption... That was a combination of "316" "Cathedral", "Spanish fly" ,, And "Eruption " with some improvisation of a "Feedback Solo".."Mean Streets".. with a Dash of "Intruder"...By Far..The GREATEST ON STAGE GUITARIST EVER !! ⚡🎸
You're *RIGHT* 👍
if you watch all the videos of eddie as he progresses you will notice that he adds those little bits to every solo spot but he NEVER shy'd away from throwing some improv into the mix to keep things fresh. if there's anything i ever learned from ed as a guitar player is to NEVER be afraid to try new things, even if you fall flat on your face live you just pick yourself back up and keep going.
@@musek5048 That's just one of the things that made him such a Guitar Guru. He had the ability to get sounds and tones out of a guitar that were clean and crisp like no one else of that time. If you heard his guitar, you knew who was playing it. Their concerts were so much better than their albums. Instead of being a structured song..."He was free to improv, and actually play "In the Moment".. "The stage"..That's where this Star Shined the Brightest. ⚡🎸
@@lakeliving2013 ah back when the concerts were the whole point of an album, so you could get a tiny taste of the amazing spectacles that many bands would pull off. now we have such amazing tools and techniques to make "perfect" sounding music but look how stale most pop music has gotten. there's something to be said about the magic that the older decades offered through each era's music.
@@musek5048" I love the stage. Albums are just a vehicle for us to play for you live." EVH QUOTE.
I still regret That I didn't see them live in the 80's.
As a young kid with elderly parents. I just couldn't figure out how to get four hours away to see them live.
Well I gotta tickets for sammy this summer !!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I’ve seen a lot of concerts but this has got to be number one. Hagar makes Roth look like a real clown. This is rock at its finest. Everyone is at the top . Sound was unbelievable. I can’t watch any other VanHalen shows since seeing this. Makes the others look and sound second rate. Glad we have this. I listen to it everyday!!!!
Roses are Red and Violets are blue. When I listen to Van Halen, my neighbors do too...🤪
DLR a clown?? He has tons of talent like it or not...
Seen them 7 times over 25 years. Some of the best shows and times of my life. Will never forget Eddie sitting down on the stage in front of me and playing "316".. Those were the good old days.⚡️🎸
@@lakeliving2013 LOL
It has evolved. These guys were always really special. Even before VH1, htiign the LA parties. With DlR. The competition between Ed and DLR made them push it. Listen to the old stuff and you recognise the talent of then both..
But this show is in a different ballpark. I give you that.
man, i miss eddie and this band. i saw them 5 times over the years and loved every concert and wish i could have seen them many more times. van halen was always full throttle for the entire concert.
Wow! What a concert!
The band were really up for this show and the film really captures that.
Simply amazing ❤
Thanks for the band and the great work ❤
After watching the entire concert, I can see why this was considered Van Halen's prime time. This was amazing!
I just finished it too! Man...LEGENDARY!
I don't know how many times I've watched this whole show. This is just amazing. My goto video. Just love it.
It is Great that e can watch this on TV. I have an 850 watt system and a Big TV and it sounds awesome. It's a powered mixer. Our band broke up and I used the equipment to use it for playback and it is very good. Van Halen Rocks.
@@muurimc I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this either lol I bought it on VHS when it came out in 1993. No UA-cam back then so the only concert (full concert) footage there was of Van Halen prior to this was Live Without a Net. That was good but it was only 90 minutes because they had technical difficulties and weren’t able to record the entire concert. Also it was their 1st album with Hagar so they didn’t have a lot of material yet. So when this came out to finally see a full Van Halen concert on video was absolutely mind blowing. Only complaint is that the director used 2 nights of footage and combined them so it throws you off sometimes when Hagar is wearing 1 shirt and then the next second another shirt. Eddie and Mike were smart and wore the same outfit both nights apparently lol Overall though this is an awesome F.U.C.K.ing show!
That's one of the best solos Ed has ever did. That fkr is one talented human being on that Guitar
I was so pissed when DLR left in the mid eighties. I wouldn't listen to the Hagar albums until F.U.C.K. came out. I loved every song on it so I had to see what I was missing. When Hagar left after Balance I was even more pissed than I was When Roth left. 25 years on the world has lost VH forever and 8 months ago we lost the greatest guitar player of all time, and I'd give my left arm to have VH back no matter who was singing. R.I.P. Ed. Thank you for bearing your heart and soul every time you picked up a guitar. We will never forget you.
The late 80's and early 90's were such a simpler time. Van Hagar was making fun rock songs on the radio. No one had a smart phone or internet. The US wasn't at war w anyone. No one was freaking out about politics or racism everyday. It was mostly about big hair, weird clothes and having a good time. This vid brought me back 10/10.
Absolutely......
Nailed it man!
True.
Gulf War???
@@guy.s8375 True, in 1991 the United States intervened in the Kuwait / Iraq conflict. But still he's right. The times were better. 1000 times. In 1990 Europe would not have let an ugly 16 year old girl from Sweden dictate what to do in terms of the climate. This kinda "New Generation" is fkn* sh* and it pisses me off.
G'day when they were on same page whatever era eddie is flying 🎸🥁 they sound great at this particular gig and I dig em in general 🎤🎹🎸
Van Halen was one of my top favourite band in the 80's. They were amazing... simply amazing... Sammy Hagar and DLR were both good...
I absolutely agree :)
Jean-Hugues W
Jean-Hugues Weber 》》》 totally agreed.. the greatest on earth.. always love to see their videos or cd.. blessed for them all...

So glad I got to see them live , it was the summer of 1991 F.U.C.K. Tour, Cincinnati Ohio, with the love of my life we’ve been together 37 yrs.
I can remember this like it was yesterday ............. Best VH Lineup ever !
Name of tour?
@@fredheesch4359 “ For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge “ Tour ,,,,
also known as the F.U.C.K tour lol
I think after all this time I get it. Happiness. I’ve never listened to an Eddie solo that didn’t make me instantly smile and dance they’re just pure bliss! RIP Brother! 🤘🏼❤️
R.I.P Eddy😢🙏💔 You are a MASSIVE loss to the world!
Pure JOY and LOVE for these Rock Gods!! This is definitely Van Halen at their peak! Will be a life regret that I never saw VH live... especially THIS☝️ tour to witness Eddy, Alex, Sammy and Michael in their prime.
Rest in peace brother. We'll miss you😢
Rest in Peace My first Guitar hero ....
A legend among legends. Such a sad day in music.
@@trurockrevivalmagazine3359 It's very sad day for me... I still remember when i heard his music first time in the radio when i was 16 years old. Then i started to learn guitar playing. Because of *HIM*
My first guitar hero😭
😟😞
