Man they were so good. One of the best live rock performances ever. Everyone is on point this sounds just like the studio recording. Eddie throws the kitchen sink into this song. All kinds of great guitar tones. Makita drill, Wah pedal, flanger, and all of his usual guitar wizardry. Wow. VH forever. RIP Eddie
BETTER than the studio recording. All 4 of them were at the top of their game. Alex followed Eddie, and Eddie followed Alex. Even after Eddie and Alex threw down, Michael and Sammy had a lot of space to do what they did - and they followed the Van Halen brothers' lead perfectly, without stepping on them. I wish I could have been there.
God Damn!!! Tight Tight Tight! Mike is Thundering Al is snapping the hell outta that snare, which everything revolves around Ed, what can you say about him that hasn't been said before Sammy sounds like he just stepped in from the mid 70's, he voice is TIMELESS! THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!
The Makita 9.6v cordless drill/driver that sparked the revolution of cordless power tools LOL....brought to you by the grandmaster of rock and roll guitar! Epic! RIP Edward!
Fun fact: Edward played all the bass on Fair Warning. Sunset Sound recording channel check it out. Not ditching Micheal Anthony. He is great. But there's a distinct difference on "push comes to shove".. Mike was Always prominent in the mix.
@@capnmo6718 I think he’s implying this album finally had the bass properly mixed. On 5150 and especially on OU812 the bass is almost nonexistent. Alex wasn’t happy with how the drums were mixed either. So they asked Alex what type of sound he was looking for and he said that big Bonham sound. So they got Andy Johns who was a producer for Zeppelin to produce the Carnal Knowledge album. That album had the drums and bass with plenty of bottom end to have that full sound. They sound a lot better here live than they did live on the OU812 tour. Theres pro shot recordings for the OU812 and Carnal Knowledge tour on youtube. Check them out and you’ll hear a huge difference in overall sound.
@@breauxcewayne1971 Great info on the recording of F.U.C.K., which I didn't know. The work of Andy Johns (and his brother Glyn) helped make some of the best rock records in history sound as good as they do. VH, Zeppelin, the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, etc., etc.
Every year that goes by of Eddies passing I watch videos like this and I am simply in awe with him. Back then I just took in for granted listening to him play, now I pick up on things I never heard. He just made it look so dam easy.
Genius. Nobody else came CLOSE to his groove and timing. He was fast and loose, at the same time he was tight and perfect. Every note in this video is ON.
The best thing about the Sammy years was the whole band felt tight, together and happy...Sammy is and will always be one of the best front men ever...Pure energy on every level...Michael Anthony is way under rated and appreciated as a musician...I'm glad that Sammy and Michael have teamed up to make Chicken Foot...Cheers guys.
Couldn't agree with you more! The VH years with Sammy as front man got me through some really rough times! I love Sammy! I'm willing to bet that Sammy and Michael A. are some really cool guys to chill and have several beers with!
@@sunjester8254Just because they *became* unhappy at some point doesn't mean they were *always* unhappy. Eddie and Sammy were extremely tight at one point, and loved writing music together. A lot of whether people could get along with Eddie or not depended on how heavily he was drinking at that point, from the way I understand it.
can you name anyone specifically that 'way' underrates Michael Anthony as a musician?? ... have you ever had a conversation with someone that said, 'yeah, that Michael Anthony really sucks as a bassist and background singer'..? would just like to really pin down, with some facts, your idiotic claim that Michael Anthony is 'underrated and under appreciated' as a musician.
@@sunjester8254You really showed him 🤦♂️ They all said it was a great relationship for 11 years until the greatest hits controversy happened. Just because the relationship spoiled doesn't mean it wasn't a great relationship at one time. That's how life works.
If a magical genie gave me the chance to go back in time, and see three live shows from bands I missed during the last 50 years, I'd see Van Halen three times.
There will NEVER be another like him! @ 64 playin since I was 17,saw him in 1977 at a venue here in Va beach,to this day I this is where I picked it up and received hearing damage. Heaven is rocking!
Absolutely, it does. The drums sound amazing all the way around, but that snare is just perfect. Especially for a TV broadcast, which can be tricky to get across.
I've mentioned this many many times before, I miss Edward, the world misses him. I've been fortunate enough to attend a Van Halen concert in 1988 - lost my hearing fortwo days ! I'd do it all over again.
Saw them live at the old Cap Center in Largo Maryland, 1986. They were amazing, so much better than I thought they would be. Hagar was running around on the rafters up above the crowd, I had no idea what a showman he was!
1991年のMTV Video Music Awardsの映像ですね。BS(NHKだったかWOWOWだったかはうろ覚え)で放送されました。 オープニングのヴァン・ヘイレンの他にもメタリカの『EnterSandman』、マライア・キャリーの『Emotion』等、信じられないほど豪華なアーティストのパフォーマンスが盛り沢山の内容でした。 視聴しながら録画したVHSを何十回となく繰り返し憑りつかれた様に、宝物のように高校時代に観ていました。
I absolutely love when a 4 piece bands guitarist goes into the lead and the stomp drops to only bass and drums but sounds so good you don’t even care. This band were masters.
im more of a jazz fan but this freakin rocked! it all starts with that killer snare sound, michael anthonys 16 note (thank you rocco) groove, eddies ridiculous and innovative style and hagar brings it all together. top notch man
I remember when the album came out and they came to San Jose, CA. This was the most rad song! Ed did a solo to open (as usual?) that included the national anthem. Then this was the first song. Soo powerful! The band could connect with people like me.
9/2023: They were a Great Band. David and Sammy were both Excellent singers. I've always loved Sammy's music. Eddie was one of the Great Ones and innovative to the Max. RIP Eddie. Thank You for this Post and Best Regards. I have Subscribed. *(P.S. Check out Sammy's 1984 Album "VOA", I think it's his best work)
They were the opening act of the MTV music awards.😂😂😂😂 imagine what the other bands that followed them were saying. Sucks for them to follow that. Their greatest live performance...period
Greatest live band ever. So glad I got to see them and experience the unbelievable talent of all 4 members of Van Halen in person. If you never saw them live in concert you can't imagine what you missed. Everybody knows Eddie Van Halen was the greatest guitar player in the world but because of this the other guys were often overlooked but they were all monsters at what they did. I miss Eddie so bad, but every member of Van Halen achieved immortality because they will live on forever through their music. Godspeed to the mighty Van Halen!!!
i saw them back in like 90 or 91 when they were touring with this album, they had Alice in Chains opening for them Layne had a broke leg at the time but they still put on a hell of a show, Van Halen's set was one of the best concerts I have ever been to, they blew me away both Eddie and Sammy had their own solos as well as Alex and Michael I will never forget it
I remember that tour. The crowd were all chanting " Eddie" about three songs near the end. Alice N Chains were pissed, the lead singer ended up spitting on the crowd at the end. Never listened to them since.
Loved Ed's rig in this era...flipped the guitar and amp market on it's ear going with Peavey and Ernie Ball. EVERY guitar magazine had a story about it.
Lets also gjve big credit to Michael Anthony's backing vocals. His range was inpressive, along with his strong bass lines keeping the timing with Alex. Alex is a world class drummer too!
I was at the first concert when you took DLR spot. You were fantastic then and you still are. I was pissed off at the people in the crowd yelling to hear DLR. He was good, but you are better!!!!! I took Tequila shots with you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
Van Halen, both Dave and Sammy are amazing! and course EDDIE the King...one of a kind... Anthony and Alex are both gifted too...This group probably the most exciting to watch when it comes to rock and roll...
Man they were so good. One of the best live rock performances ever. Everyone is on point this sounds just like the studio recording. Eddie throws the kitchen sink into this song. All kinds of great guitar tones. Makita drill, Wah pedal, flanger, and all of his usual guitar wizardry. Wow. VH forever. RIP Eddie
Ed made the band rip ed
This was an epic performance I remember watching it back then Hagar‘s vocals were spot on here every one of them was great
BETTER than the studio recording. All 4 of them were at the top of their game. Alex followed Eddie, and Eddie followed Alex. Even after Eddie and Alex threw down, Michael and Sammy had a lot of space to do what they did - and they followed the Van Halen brothers' lead perfectly, without stepping on them.

AWESOME...EVEN TODAY 2024. VAN HALEN ROCK'S. WE MISS YOU EDWARD.🇺🇲💜💜♥️💜
...Эдди МОНСТР !!!...💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸...
Best in history ever no one will ever compare
We didn't know how good we had it!!!!
They all look so happy and healthy there...I sincerely wish it would of stayed that way!!!😁☺😊😎
Sammy is a great guy, in real life as well with the band.......Dave, has problems
would have stayed
Eddie was one of his kind.. Awesome and talented.. Miss you EVH and rest in peace..
Jeez. They took the stage like a bomb going off.
I can't believe Eddie's sound was so good live. They were in a league of their own
alex and his gell was amazingly good, mark anthonys vocals supporting the lead amazing stuff, eddies rythm playing was also amazong
Wet..Dry...Wet....so many guitarist emulated this setup live after Eddie figured it out.
This Band was "The Measuring Stick" Eddie was the Best!
Energy level. Off the Charts.
The best VMA performance ever.
I remember this night well! Had family for dinner to watch Van Halen. That’s how much we loved MTv back long ago!😊
One of a kind, american originals van halen!
Rest in peace legend
Favorite song from the van hagar era.
デイヴも好きだが、この頃の円熟期？パワフル💪で好きだな～。
Sammy is way older I think
God Damn!!! Tight Tight Tight! Mike is Thundering
Al is snapping the hell outta that snare, which everything revolves around
Ed, what can you say about him that hasn't been said before
Sammy sounds like he just stepped in from the mid 70's, he voice is TIMELESS!
THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!
The Makita 9.6v cordless drill/driver that sparked the revolution of cordless power tools LOL....brought to you by the grandmaster of rock and roll guitar! Epic! RIP Edward!
1986 Good
LORD, what a song...
Nice to here mikes bass on a this recording.... finally
Implying it’s quiet on the album? Mikey’s bass is bumping on the recording, right from the first slide.
Fun fact: Edward played all the bass on Fair Warning. Sunset Sound recording channel check it out. Not ditching Micheal Anthony. He is great. But there's a distinct difference on "push comes to shove".. Mike was Always prominent in the mix.

Man I followed him since 78 when I was a teenager :) too awesome!
Genius. Nobody else came CLOSE to his groove and timing. He was fast and loose, at the same time he was tight and perfect. Every note in this video is ON.
I saw this live! Everyone went nuts when they walked out and played this song!
What was the concert?
@@tylerwilkins2096 I think it was the Arsinial Hawl show on late night. I remembr watching it when it aired
It was the MTV Video Music Awards 1991

Yeah, they were real happy. That's why Eddie kicked Sammy out and Michael later, and they all badmouthed each other, minus Mike doing that.
Couldn't agree with you more! The VH years with Sammy as front man got me through some really rough times! I love Sammy! I'm willing to bet that Sammy and Michael A. are some really cool guys to chill and have several beers with!

There's never going to be anybody better than EVH... RIP my friend...🎸🙏🎸
Eddie's Innovations are off the charts let alone the energy this band had and how much fun they really did have together RIP EDDIE😘👍👏☝
Sound powerfull and so commercial at the same time just amazing
Just think what he could do with a circular saw!!😊
MA’s baseline set such a powerful foundation for every VH song.
Incredible display of just how good Eddie was.LEGEND.
I saw Van Halen more than any other band
Can we just take a moment and salute the sound guy? This is balanced so well.
Man they were so good. I'm just sorry it all ended for this band about 20 years before it had to.
If a magical genie gave me the chance to go back in time, and see three live shows from bands I missed during the last 50 years, I'd see Van Halen three times.

That snare sounds incredible
UNIQUE!!!
I'm glad someone else noticed! It's perfect.
Fuckin A
Absolutely, it does. The drums sound amazing all the way around, but that snare is just perfect. Especially for a TV broadcast, which can be tricky to get across.
My pound cake wrapped up and ready
Love this song.So much energy from the entire group.
I rewind that introduction for it's the fine stuff, and that guitar riff , timeless.
Good Memories. Surfing, scouting the scene and Van Halen !
I've mentioned this many many times before, I miss Edward, the world misses him. I've been fortunate enough to attend a Van Halen concert in 1988 - lost my hearing fortwo days ! I'd do it all over again.

Edward Van Halen...no other words are necessary. What a performance that was. I LOVE VAN HALEN
Eddie,s master ov the song, chords, timing, soloing, nobody reached that level.
I don't care who sung, I love this band...and always will.
Grandioso Eddie 👍❤
2024 And still missing you Eddie! ❤🎸❤
There was a time when Van Halen ruled the world.....
i have known these period !! van halen my heroe
That guitar sounds freaking amazing. This was a helluva performance by everybody.
THOUGHTS & PRAYERS GOING OUT 2 EDDIE VAN HALEN"AKA THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE 🌎 BEST OF LUCK WITH UR TREATMENT 👼🙏😇🎧🎼🎵🎶🎹🎻🎺🎤GOD BLESS 🙏
This was the peak of Van Hagar and the peak of Van Halen.
I think that VH was best in 1984 with DLR. Too bad that Eddie and Dave had a falling out. I never liked Van Hagar as much as Van Halen.
The peak of Van Halen was with David Lee Roth.
I remember watching that live on t.v. back in the day, MTV Music Awards, they were great!
These were the glory days for me❤😂😅😢
Eddie seemed very happy during this time. 😊
The best thing about being in a popular band and picking up a new singer is you get to be at the top of your game twice.
I absolutely love when a 4 piece bands guitarist goes into the lead and the stomp drops to only bass and drums but sounds so good you don’t even care. This band were masters.
I was fortunate enough to see this tour/ era twice and to say the least, it doesn't get any better than this!
im more of a jazz fan but this freakin rocked! it all starts with that killer snare sound, michael anthonys 16 note (thank you rocco) groove, eddies ridiculous and innovative style and hagar brings it all together. top notch man

Hello Bayyyyyyyyyby........Miss them!!!!
I watched the video awards on MTV the night this performance aired while living in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Those were great memories and a great show.
9/2023: They were a Great Band. David and Sammy were both Excellent singers. I've always loved Sammy's music. Eddie was one of the Great Ones and innovative to the Max.
RIP Eddie. Thank You for this Post and Best Regards. I have Subscribed.
*(P.S. Check out Sammy's 1984 Album "VOA", I think it's his best work)
Seeing these guys live was just fantastic!!!
Van Halen in any land, have a presence that follows n lingers for as long as there's rock'n'roll in the stars n wind! 👍👍🍻🍻😎😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Eddie just rippin it up.
They were the opening act of the MTV music awards.😂😂😂😂 imagine what the other bands that followed them were saying. Sucks for them to follow that. Their greatest live performance...period
Época boa...grande Sammy Haggar...R.I.P. Eddie..
Eddie making that guitar go to work.
Goat 🐐
Greatest live band ever. So glad I got to see them and experience the unbelievable talent of all 4 members of Van Halen in person.

They were at their best. Miss those days. Don't miss DLR.
The best song Van Hagar made 😊
i saw them back in like 90 or 91 when they were touring with this album, they had Alice in Chains opening for them Layne had a broke leg at the time but they still put on a hell of a show, Van Halen's set was one of the best concerts I have ever been to, they blew me away both Eddie and Sammy had their own solos as well as Alex and Michael I will never forget it

We should never say no more Van Halen cause Eddies music lives on R.I.P. E.V.H.
EVH FOREV
This and Top of the World, easily in my Top 10.
Awesome. I was lucky to see Diamond Dave one year, then Sammy the very next year. Tingly Coliseum ABQ. Did it really matter who sang.
Their stage presence was the best of their time!!!!!
いやぁ～。
デイヴとのバンドも良いが、
サミーとのバンドも最高だな😊
デイヴとサミー、両方雇って、前後半で分けてライブやれば良かったのになぁ。
I don’t care what anyone says- Hagar was a great addition to Van Halen
Master Van Halen give me the Power I beg of you Amen!!
The greatest band ever, nobody could compare!
Not quite😂
I agree wholeheartedly!!!!
Amazing how three instruments are putting out this kind of sound..Outstanding!
Best damn guitar player ever...PERIOD
Loved Ed's rig in this era...flipped the guitar and amp market on it's ear going with Peavey and Ernie Ball. EVERY guitar magazine had a story about it.
Yes, Eddie was AMAZING (RIP), but the other members were excellent too. The band was a well-oiled machine. Amazing performance!!!
The Mighty VanHalen! Period!
Lets also gjve big credit to Michael Anthony's backing vocals. His range was inpressive, along with his strong bass lines keeping the timing with Alex. Alex is a world class drummer too!
Funky yeah. I love this so much. Good stuff back in the day. Halen for ever people. 😊
This is one of the best things to ever happen to Vanhallen.😊
Omg...how are they that good live...wow
I mean DAMN!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻
They sound awesome live. Top of their game Sammy and Eddy kicking butt.
GREAT PERFORMANCE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS WITH HAGAR AND YES I LOVE MY BABIES POUND CAKE ....RHOADS AND EDDIE TOP TWO OF ALL TIME ...
The Van Halen sound is the sound of a roaring V12 Ferrari F50!!!
Ladies and gentlemen......Van Halen......
For real the badassest guitar player ever.
Those were the days watching award shows was so cool to watch. 😎
I was at the first concert when you took DLR spot. You were fantastic then and you still are. I was pissed off at the people in the crowd yelling to hear DLR. He was good, but you are better!!!!! I took Tequila shots with you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
90's at it's best
Not your typical 3 piece band. Eddie can sound like 3 other guitarists! Michael's bass and Alex's beat along with Sammy's vocals.....just.....wow!
Van Halen, both Dave and Sammy are amazing! and course EDDIE the King...one of a kind... Anthony and Alex are both gifted too...This group probably the most exciting to watch when it comes to rock and roll...
With Sammy, they were just a different type of fantastic. A bit like when Sabbath brought in RJD.
R.I.P. in Rock n Roll heaven Eddie 😢😮😊😎👍❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🏹♐
They Rocked, take me back
