Van Halen Won't Get Fooled Again Live 1993

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

In my opinion this is Sammy's peak vocal ability. He always had a killer voice prior but this is next level killer. Of course who else can make Pete Townsend's guitar look so easy except Eddie and Keith Moon is being shown much love by Alex. Michael not only singing his ass off but hanging with John Entwistle is just special. This is how a cover is done!

[@anakina1]

This is buried tresure. Sammy knocks the vocals out of the park, Eddie playing keyboard parts on the guitar as no one could, Mikey rocking the bass, and Alex great as always. How this is hidden in the basement is beyond me.

[@pi4630]

Damn right

[@michaelponce7326]

Doesn't get any better than this...👊

[@Lerxstification]

it was hidden in Biden's basement....how is this 27 years old???

[@MicTheGuitarMan]

no kidding... this is as pure as it gets. ive seen them several times and dont recall them doing it live but that obviously wasn't the first time doing this song. Sammys last scream gave me goosebumps... Dave was my fav but Sammy never failed in delivering the goods. And its really cool seeing Al rocking a small kit

[@vegardyrnes1793]

WORD!!

[@kidwave1]

Michael is a BEAST! Playing that crazy bass line while singing perfect harmonies,...BAD ASS!

[@TheSateef]

what about Alex!

[@timbrink]

Really under rated as a musician.

[@johnmaltbie377]

I am absolutely astonished how much I love this cover! I Love The Who and I couldn’t imagine any cover of this song that would even remotely do it justice, but this really does!

[@geoffpoole483]

A great cover. The bass parts for this song are challenging. Kudos to Michael Antony. A faithful cover but definitely Van Halen.

[@calebproductions5970]

Most impressed with Micheal Anthony . Played entwistle's parts and sang.

[@chewycenter7690]

Gotta agree. Doing Entwistle is enough of an accomplishment, but singing too? Thunderfingers didn't sing much as far as I know, so yeah. Bravo.

To all the Sammy haters: DLR would NEVER have the discipline to cover this song as well as Sammy!!!!!

[@bcsgator1]

Facts!

[@jamesh4357]

I'm not a huge Van Halen fan, but this was epic. They look like they're having a blast, killer version of an iconic song, Eddie playing synth and guitar on the same instrument! Very low-key, off-the-cuff vibe. Rock and roll at it's finest!

[@ddbedguy]

Michael Anthony playing great bass and nailing some terrific backing vocals.

[@RebeccaLynnMusic]

That's right!!!

[@sethshulman7832]

[@kealsta]

He does that yet EVH said outright he had to be shown what to play and how to play it for VH. Doesn't make sense.

[@audibletapehiss3764]

@@kealsta I think Ed was just mad when he said that. He probably did write a lot of the bass parts and would have shown Mike how he wanted them to go, which is not unusual at all in most bands.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Huge Who AND Van Halen fan here. This is just awesome!!! What's mind blowing is how Eddie replicated the keyboard perfectly with his guitar. And Alex is doing Keith Moon proud back there!! Kick ass man.

[@MyVideos-fm7ug]

Alex did WAY better than Keith could have imagined playing that song, no matter how much he practiced… which was something he never did. He hardly ever tuned his drums

[@bmac63]

Pure Genius...this is such a great version...hidden gem

[@TheWealthOfNationz]

When The Who plays Won't Get Fooled Again live they have to play the synthesizer part from a recording because Pete Townsend forgot how he programmed the synthesizer. Eddie says, hold my beer, I will play the synthesizer part on my guitar!

[@BDHO73]

The look on Michael Anthony’s face when Sammy goes into the scream at 4:10 is priceless. He’s digging it. Top shelf.

[@bentleymurphree216]

I guess because Eddie was such a force in VH, Micheal Anthony got looked over, but he can bring it,

[@B.Sleazy]

He really was. He was the secret backbone to the band. All the bacground vocals are him, and his bass playing is phenomenal

[@ttestates1]

Eddie was just the greatest. That intro is perfect on guitar!

[@michaelhawkes5110]

I love both versions! There’s no reason to compare them a great song is a great song! Eddies keyboard mimicking is cool!

[@michaelrenkes4463]

Fricking jaw dropping. One of the greatest songs ever written played by one of the greatest bands ever. It is so sad that Eddie is gone, but the amount of content that is coming to the fore is amazing and will assure he will live forever.

[@tonypetts6663]

Genuinely shocked at Sammy's vocals, just outstanding, didn't think he had it in him. As for Eddie's guitar instead of the synthesiser, just fantastic. Best version outside of the Who by miles and just different enough to be equal in its own way. As a diehard Who fan I absolutely love it, only the live version from the first tour after Keith died beats it.

[@bbtb785]

By miles and miles :)

[@RCAvhstape]

I remember Sammy before he was in VH and I always thought he could sing, and had a great rock and roll scream. There's a reason he got the gig with VH. The fact that he added a second guitar so Eddie could get on the synths was another plus.

[@germanenglishengineer2054]

It’s too bad Eddie was such a disrespectful asshole to him. So sad.

[@SuperGaleford]

The only people who don’t think he’s a great bassist are named Van Halen.

[@kanesanders6669]

Michael Anthony's contribution to Van Halen's sound, especially vocally, was just as significant as Eddie's, Alex's or Sammy's.

[@theaterdreamer]

Michael Anthony was the pumping heart of Van Halen. The band had two great lead singers, a kick ass drummer in Alex Van Halen that could play with as much power as incredible technique (and so many memorable drum lines). And of course, the greatest rock guitarist of all-time. But Mikey was the glue. The thunder. The harmony vocals. Nothing against Wolf. He’s a heck of a musician. He’s truly Eddie’s son. But he could never fit in the band the way that Michael Anthony did. Anthony was irreplaceable.

[@chastityfinch7251]
