Hey Marty, nice feature. I own quite too many signature guitars as well and could privide footage and information on pretty much all EVH Models if interested. Just let me know.

Bro pretending like he doesn't know the lyrics😂

Sounds good. Thanks very mucch for uploading!

If you aren't into wetsanding, I would recommend Minwax 'Wipe-On Poly. It makes a pretty smooth finish, and even if you use the 'm,atte' finish it comes out really smooth and velvety feeling, and can be buffed to a gloss, but not a traditional guitar shine. I would always use 2K clearcoat and wetsand/polish/buff on my next kit. It comes waaayy closer to a pro finish.

I was at that show🤘🤘

Great drop. We'll take it! A friend of mine taped the Sacramento ( 11/17/1988 ) show at Arco Arena ( my first Van Halen show ). In that show, they jam -in the middle of " You Really Got Me " -with the verse/chorus riffs from " Pleasure Dome, " YEARS before it appeared on the F.U.C.K. album. The 1988 shows had some AMAZING concert moments that I wish they captured officially ( the 1989 Tokyo show is great but rumors are that Warners is remastering that show for Blu-ray when the OU812 remaster expanded edition comes out next year ).,

I have a 1990 Special. I wonder how these models would feel to me. I know PRS have excellent QC compared to another big guitar company… *cough, Gibson cough*… But I would love to play and hear one myself, because my PRS has spoilt me rotten with its playability and quality through all these many years.

I have 2 bootleg albums from like over 30 years ago, one with David and the other with Sammy, I have never listened to them

Dude, I was at that show. It was my first VH show and I have a bootleg of it as well. Great show!!

Cue the attorneys, in 3...2...1....

Way cool 🤘, I was 28 that year, this brings back a LOT of great memories, I've been a VH fan since their first album, I think I was 17 still when I heard that in 78 and although I have a handful and a half of guitar heros the one that tops the heap is Eddie, I think he's the one who really made me want to learn guitar. Thank you for sharing this!!! R.I.P. Eddie you are truly missed but you live on in our hearts. Thanks again Marty, have a great rest of the weekend 🤘

Have you tried using AI to enhance and bring the instruments out more?

Thank you for posting. What equipment did you use to convert cassette to digital?

Super cool Marty! Great photos!

Got a link to this guitar looking to buy one from ireland this exact colour

Oh, yes! Back when Sammy was still trying to play guitar solos, we would just be shaking our heads 😅

The playing on that record is fantastic.

Don't like the 2 van halen albums 5150 and ou812 .

awesome tape..I was using my muppet babies style imagination to get the full experience like I was there. Even with Sammy and his shit lyrics etc, it was still cool. Sorry man I know sammy was part of your youth and all but ...jeezus

What key was the album version?

I was there! My first VH show.

October 15th, 1988 Syracuse, NY! How cool! Thanks for sharing this! If this doesn't time warp you back to 1988, man... They came to Ohio in June 88 for a 2 day concert, Monsters of Rock at the Akron Rubber Bowl. 1st day was a beautiful day, 2nd day hottest day in Ohio history 103 degrees! They were spraying the crowd with hoses, the FD was there. Talk about a Hot Summer Night!

Awesome man! My first =VH= concert was 11/5/88 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Always wished there was a boot from that show.

Boston is truly the greatest rock band in history. Tom Scholz doesn’t get enough credit for the crazy writing skills he has. The fact that when he had an idea for a guitar sound that didn’t exist, he would create his own sound machines to make the sound. And Brad Delp on vocals is just the cherry on top. His harmonies are unbeatable

Saw 5150 at the Niagara Falls convention center in ‘86. Then in ‘88 went to OU812 at the Tampa stadium which technically was the Monsters of Rock show. Best of times. Thanks for this Marty.

My 1st Van Halen show was Diver Down Hide Your Sheep 1982 tour in Des Moines Iowa!!

So many dislike ou812 even though 5150 was more pop... OU812 had so much variety and complexity to it. Sure, production was barely serviceable at best, but the songwriting was still there, even better than 5150 in my opinion! If you're a musician, you appreciate this album, thats all there is to it. I was born in 07... I sure as hell wish i was old enough to see them live with prime dave and sammy! Best i'll ever get are these bootlegs, pro footage, and the best of all worlds sammy tour which i did get to see. It was great, but not the same. Thanks for uploading this marty! This is a top 3 tour of theirs for me! Im also happy many others got to see vh live!

I always loved that feeling when you first get in and you made it to your seats.

Many die hard VH fans dislike 0u812, I actually really like it. I'm a fan of Eddie's music regardless on whos singing. I miss Ed terribly. He's the soundtrack of our youth. Thank you Marty😉👍.

Thanks for sharing Marty.

This is amazing Marty, what a cool recording to remind you of your first VH concert.

Cool 🤘

You were a rascal! 😂 Aw this is kick ass Marty! I saw every Sam-era concert that came to Detroit!! The best! 👍

It is amazing considering its 30 some years ago! The set list is insane and how long it is! Top rock band list! At 9:00 min I can hear you talk or say something..lol Thats some cool shit!

This is really cool Marty. Thanks for loading it up.

AS an Aussie, I only got to see the Great Van Halen in their tour for the VH3 tour. And I sadly missed the tour wit DLR in 2013. Some were disappointed. But me, hell no, I got to see Mikey, Alex, and the GOAT Eddie live! So, no, no Sammy or DLR in his hey-day, but I loved every second. In saying that, dam, Dam, I'm jealous, thanks for sharing this Awesome experience. Did I mention I am jealous?😁

Awesome recording I got to see van halen on the balance tour in Birmingham alabama

You're taking me back to the good ole days my Van Halen Brother. I was at the same tour in Salt Lake City. I may be wrong because I went to quite a few shows but that might have had BTO opening up for them. I was 17 or 18. Fantastic share, Thanks a Million! Two Thumbs Up!

Panama sounded awesome. The recording sounds great considering it was recorded on a cassette. Nice Job.

Wait, you're actually evaluating whether an amp is good or not based on if it can replicate Metallica's shitty, dry, raspy, toneless dreck? Is this a parody video?
