"Dreams" - Van Halen 1993 on Sunset Strip @ Whisky a Go-Go (Official Music Video)

[@MarkKirbyMusic]

I was there Sammy! Loved every second of it. So here’s a story about the show in case anyone’s interested. At the time I’m working for a children’s entertainment company, (yes, you read that correctly ) and we’re doing a deal with Lou Adler, owner of the whiskey. It is the day of the show and we have the radio on at the office and they’re announcing on KLOS how the concert has been canceled. So Lou says, and I’m paraphrasing, “excuse me, I own the whiskey and we’re not canceling the show”. I am lucky enough to be put on the guest list for that night. So I show up at the venue, pass by over 1,000 people in line, get some bad looks as you can imagine, and security stops me asking me to see my tickets. I tell them I don’t have any tickets, I’m on the guest list, to which they say “ooooh ooohh Mr. Vip OK let’s see it!” I walk up and pray my name is actually on the list, and it was! 😅 So security says, “oh, all right, enjoy the show!” And before you know it, I’m standing 10 feet in front of Eddie Van Halen, playing the solo to “judgment day”. Unreal.

Sam you are my Van Halen. Thank you for coming to our small town of Visalia years ago and sharing a WaboRita with us. Love u brother. Love you.

[@covertyankee]

Sammy said the truth. There was no riot and never was going to be one. We used to just have fun. I was a senior in high school at the time and today I don't feel like I live on the same planet. I am just glad I got to experience those days.

[@12yearssober]

LAPD was always complaining about something

[@melovemusic69]

Right on and no riot because there was just a bunch of rockin white people.

VanHagar was the absolute best version of Vanhalen. Sammy has a fantastic voice.

[@greywebs1944]

Well it weren't Dave Lee Roth was it 🤨 He long buggered off before this came out. And Sammy Hagar was by far the better singer of the two.

Best years of my life was growing up on VanHalen! Thank you Sammy for reminding me of this Beautiful Memory!

[@sweetwilliam5150]

same. the best.

[@hubrisnaut]

same, I was partying to the Red Rocker before he joined VH. There were a few vocalists in the running after The Split with Dave, who was great, huge respect for those times, I didn't know what was going to happen but, on came Sammy and killed it,

[@ironeagle6447]

Dont Forget Edward van Halen man😊

[@TammyTT]

The best lead singer Van Halen ever had! ❤❤❤

[@Beerglass1980]

👍🍻💯

[@metalmacabre9991]

Good but nope, the best songs Halen had were when Dave fronted the band, I like Sammy as well but Van Halen was alot heavier when Dave fronted them, and the songs were better. My opinion anyway. I respect yours, as well.

[@calebthemusicjunkie]

​@@metalmacabre9991I agree with you Also Roth is just a better singer

[@rsenior7140]

@@calebthemusicjunkie Roth being a better singer is laughable. He can't even sing!

[@RickStamler]

The only lead singer Van Halen ever had. Lol. Sorry but David was a great frontman. A talker-singer. Not really a singer-singer. Just my opinion.

[@guitarplayerstowohio]

When Van Halen was on top of the world… Those were great times and with inspirational energy that I’ve not experienced since. Seeing them live vs. listening to studio recordings was like the difference between a picture of the Niagara Falls and being at the Niagara Falls in a boat a few yards away.

From Sammy to Sammy: thanks for this treat today, man! Just made my (and a lot of other people's) day a whole lot better!! One of the most inspiring songs of my teenage years, and it never fails to lift my spirit despite the decades that have gone by since then. While it is hard not to shed a tear seen Eddie there so young and full of life, and then to think he's no longer with us, this video still brings so much joy to see all you guys together having fun in the early 90's... Nostalgia can be bittersweet as we age pass our prime years, but it can also be a source of inspiration for the remaining of our journey in this beautiful blue ball. So, let's keep climbing straight up, higher and higher, and make the best of this amazing gift that is life!!!

[@WarDurnEagle]
