The late Edward Van Halen was a guitar god !!!

This is some of the finest EVH video that I have ever seen. Great work documenting this genius in great form. Thank you.

Eddie's a God

Thanks a lot you tube for another f****n commercial advertisement in the middle of something special for all the advertisers out there if you keep putting ads in the middle of something I’m trying to watch understand I don’t intend of use your services or by your products. Stop putting in the garbage KZbin, and let us watch something and enjoy it without being bombarded by useless advertisements.

Jealous of you lucky f..ks that were there.

I love that 1:32 look he gave. R.I.P King Edward 🎸

Wow, his expertise is unreal, he has brought the electric guitar to a higher place....!

many emulate it but you need the feeling behind it... THE very best to do it... GOD I MISS THIS MAN =[ ♥

🤟✌️🤟

Behold THE KING!!!!!

does anyone knows what’s the tabs of this minute 8:19

Eddie truly loved entertaining, just look at that smile. The best there ever was.

I quit listening to disco because of Eddie's Eruption . The world became a little colder with him gone .

1978....Cotton Bowl Dallas Texas. We all waited in 105F heat until the Sun went down. Watched 12 bands that day at The Texas Jam. Van Halen came on about 8pm and the place went chaotic. I was 20 and my young wife 19. Man what a show. Truly gifted man with his brother. The two others were not bad either. I'll never forget it. Van Halen's 1978 album had come out earlier that year. It blew everyone away.

Eddie rules....🤘 RIP

Makes it look so effortless. And fun. That smile is contegeous.

everytime i watch these videos i start crying IDK WHY I MISS HIM SO MUCH

I miss you...

Thanks for the camera work on this video! ESP @ 6:36 - 8:02. I remember hearing, it on the DD album … and EVH wowed me. I probably didn’t know the number of strings on a guitar then! I think I just stared at the record spinning, floating in the stratosphere. What an artist he was!

Bless you for sharing. The master at work in close up. Fantastic.

He was fuckin ON that night. The dexterity of his fingers at this age is insane! GOAT

I love how the super octave pedal can be heard right at the end of Mean Street portion

Oh MY GOD!Stunning!

You nailed this TheFuge1138 !! F’ing as good as it gets brother. Great video/Great Audio ! I saw VH in August of ‘79 at the Cape Cod Coliseum. Then again in the front row right up against the plywood in front of Eddie in Pembroke Pines,FL. in Jan.’84 and many times after that as well! I regret not seeing them 2 nights after this show in Mansfield,MA. 8/1/15. Lawn seats were $25 a week before the show. Didn’t feel like driving 2 hours to a show alone like I would certainly have back in the day when I was a much younger man with loads of energy. Oh well I have great memories of seeing them in their prime to reflect on! R.I.P. Eddie🙏❤️🥲

My parents were there

I was there also...great concert...miss Eddie

I love it whenever Eddie broke into a smile. He loved playing for people and even though it got old sometimes the joy always broke through. God bless Eddie V.

For all time, he never ceases to amaze me!!!😝

What a bad ass video! Thanks so much!

Me too I saw him then with my now wife and we were high and he crazy

A larger than life figure who spurred millions of boys to pick up a guitar and try , i was one of those and even though I could never get the two hand tapping down my small career as a guitar player ( 30 years) was owed to this guy, RIP Eddie you were the greatest

I never can get enough of Sir Edward's stuff....

Rip Eddie

Das ich für diesen Schrott mal mein Taschengeld weg geworfen habe ! Schande über mich !

In my opinion, GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER TO EVER LIVE!!.

Playing guitar 🎸 with all the other god's now . One day I'll get to sit in . We all will no rest for rock n rollers.

All I can say is fuckln WOW 😲 always bad ass . Miss your talent bro.

That beautiful smile never die!!!!

What a player and innovator, they’ll never be another EVH, up there with Mozart!!

glad i got to see them around this time...

So tender with a kick in the face

i was also drunk watching this video. tnx bud!

wow awesome seats, so cool

I saw VH when they were the lead in band for the Grateful Dead at the Cumberland County Civic Center, general admission. Ed did an insane riff and smiled at me with that shit eating grin just feet away from me. Dude is an epic legend, rip I made my way to the absolute front because I saw David Lee Roth doing backflips in a Superman cape and was like... What tf are these shenanigans? Turns out, it was history.

Simply PHENOMENAL xoxoxo

Please come back to Australia, they were my two favourite nights in 1995! Best live band ever!🤘

Is that a concentric volume knob? Might just be the angle but it looks like the volume and tone knobs would let you adjust either pickup. Would be pretty sweet if EVH offered that.

So with all due respect to Eddie was his playing not to par anymore here in this stage in his life or is that very shitty audio?

EVH was amazing! However I can't help but feeling that this solo was too scripted and in way undermined his classics by almost parodying them.

He's a firecracker
