Eddie Van Halen Guitar solo in 1981

[@ndangelo84]

eddie is the man!!! We need a OFFICIAL dvd of the live diamond dave era stuff!!!

[@satchbooggy]

its so enjoyable going back in time and seeing the greatest legend of all time do what he did best (and better than anyone else)

[@yogiblair22]

Love hearing Cathedral in it’s early stage of development before recorded on diver down Thanks!

[@CraigParkerAdams]

40 years ago today 7/7/81 at the St Paul Civic Center - changed my life & never seen another concert since that ever even came close. VH live FW forever etched in my d.n.a. . God bless life!

[@urbanj100]

I’m so glad they started releasing his solos for us to view

[@capnmo6718]

It's almost a year ago that EVH left us. But look at this: we have so much content of his legacy still unseen. How lucky were we all to have been spinning around on this rock at the same time as Edward Van Halen?

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Agreed!! I'll take one full show of Invasion tour, thanks!!

[@noellippard686]

I was 11 when this tour happened. I wasn't there but my friends brother went. I remember drilling him for a setlist!

[@BionicBrady]

We need more fair warning footage

[@falquest]

WOW!! Early version of Cathedral. Pretty F'n cool.

[@successfully43]

Charly, thank you for providing!

[@Cedrictheheadric]

this is a great documentation of hisprogression of his solo work thanks for the upload this stuff is killer thanks

[@successfully43]

Shots on me for this tour to return! And a round of the current line up!

[@ecarromeana]

he is not a fast-boring-shreeder, he is a clean -tone-groovy man.

[@gunger5150]

Cool stuff Charly!!!

[@zackvanhalen]

Just think, if they would release the Oakland show than we'd have a dvd quality version of this. This was an awesome post though. It was posted a while back, but never the whole thing.

[@glennmckenzie6799]

The fair warning sound. Always liked it best

[@nitrousn2o]

This is the greatest thing ever. BTW I happen to live in Memphis.

[@mganthony2010]

Remarkable!

[@zackvanhalen]

Yeah, I just listened to a new MA interview a few weeks ago and they asked him about it. He said what you just said. But for some reason I still like to believe they got something capable of restoring to at least a decent quality. If not...then as Dave would say,"That's Life".

[@RGM86RGMIII]

They had recording problems at the Oakland show, which is why we only got three songs out of it. Anyway, great vid! Too bad the Mean Street intro part is cut short here, as he never did it better than he did on this tour (At least, when he did play that).

[@wolfgang29]

hes unbeleveable fast

[@FloridaChuckBlack]

damn...i don't think i've heard ed rip nastier than this ever.
