Eddie Van Halen Performance in "Les Paul Live in NY 1988"

[@ericthiessen7060]

Tony Levin on bass and Jan Hammer on keyboards.

[@RedFlyRuledByTheRiff]

Thank you, I was going to ask if that was Tony 😊.

[@bobbyperu4683]

Picked 'em both. Levin has played with everyone on the planet apart from me and you. Legend.

[@willswitchcraft]

Right!?????? WOW I worked every date of the 5150 tour, but didn't get to hear anything like this.............

[@1954telecaster]

How much more 80’s can you get? Maybe if Phil Collins was on drums

[@NoBozosAllowed]

I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.

[@richardjacobson2600]

Lol

[@jokeaton]

Lol. Good one

[@GaryLaaks1]

Absolutely. Haha.

[@gokhanersan8561]

1988. Life was good.

[@garla5851]

🤗

[@user-user-user-user.]

Shut. The 80’s was cheesy and this video proves it.

[@garla5851]

@@user-user-user-user. More CHEESE 🧀 PLEASE!!

[@BitcoinAndChess]

@@user-user-user-user. We could be cheesy without judgement from people like yourself in 1988. You just proved the point. Life was better then.

[@1954telecaster]

The cocaine was good…

[@kennyl9419]

I love the respect EVH gives the legend Les Paul...both RIP

[@curbowman]

Eddie is kissing Les Paul with sincere love, an honest admirer.

[@FYMASMD]

He’s drunk AF.

[@torybrown7730]

In my humble opinion, Eddie Van Halen was the BIGGEST STAR in The Van Halen band. Him & his brother. RIP Eddie, you are truly missed.❤❤

[@user-user-user-user.]

Shut it fan boy.

[@ThomasBrandoGreenman]

Last night, Darth EVH came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out that he'd melt my brain

[@welderlogic1806]

That scene was epic.

[@marioavalos1385]

-May 29 2024- 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

Let's just keep this brain melting stuff to ourselves, ok?

[@sammy97070]

Vader, not Eddie Van Halen. So close.

[@zeroman614]

Its your density

[@bobbyruggs808]

I've seen it 100 times and everytime I'm as equally blown away by the energy and insane ability that EVH put into that performance. He will always be my favorite guitar player.

[@carlosrincon1551]

I wish Eddie would have teamed up with a prog band and created an entire album like this.

[@lupedonley]

Damn. This video made me shed a tear or five. My dad (who was a self-taught classical guitarist and honored by the NEA in Washington DC) bought a Les Paul and would proudly display it. Until my sister "borrowed" it and he never saw it again 😢. And he knew my fave guitarist was EVH, his fave was Andrès Segovia.

[@marioavalos1385]

-R.I.P. -Eddie Van Halen- [Oct. 6 2020]__ we still rock with all van halen music__🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@JBI1]

Eddie's killing it here and nice tribute to Les, RIP to the king!

[@FJB23577]

OMG I miss him!! RIP EVH! 😢❤

[@davidpetrie3793]

Very proud to have known Eddie, if only on a casual basis.

[@bernardodelatorre5243]

Eddie and Tony.... Wow

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

The greatest to ever plug in. And Les Paul too!

[@08c6vette]

Would have loved to see Eddie and Levin do a side project. Two totally different styles but they killed it here.

[@stevenholquin2127]

Thank You Eddie You Gave Us So Much We Miss You Dearly Peace To All

[@karaDee2363]

This reminds me of Back to the Future when Marty McFly tells school dance audience after playing a guitar solo..., Your kids are going to love it....

[@TheBallls]

Great Live! performance. The 80's were great! Eddie kicked ass!

[@bratko125]

Two Wizards respecting each other✌️

[@davidlyons8278]

So sad Eddy V is gone.. really brings tears to my eyes…. That god we had him for as long as we did……. REST IN PEASE BUDDY…

[@markmarsh9923]

I find that one of Eddie's greatest performances.

[@RightNow8008]

That heart .. passion… enthusiasm.. pure ART..

[@mbd22803]

So good. I'm so happy I got to see Eddie play live

[@bobboitt3126]

Damn Eddie was crazy good, and makes it look so easy. Smiling, dancing, jumping around while playing technically insane guitar! RIP

[@sharkman4928]

Wow, 36 years ago! Holy sh!t, where did the time go?

[@iggyfritz7150]

God do I miss Eddie

[@paulc9434]

My man had a few refreshments, be easy on the coolest !

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Wow Eddie with Jan Hammer and Tony Levin, who is the drummer? I worked with the Les Paul Trio a lot at the Iridium sadly after Les had passed, never got to meet him, Anton Fig would come over from David Letterman and play with the trio with special guests. Good times. One night I played drums at sound check for Zakk Wylde and the trio because Anton couldn’t make sound check, I am not a drummer😅

[@GaryLaaks1]

Eddie is the Hendrix of his generation. Mental what he can do with 6 strings.

[@user-uf1cm3to7m]

That was ffing outrageous 😮 never seen this...he was so unreal...🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

One for the Ages here! Paying homage from One Generation to another,

[@surfshack2]

This was awesome. My first time seeing it here.

[@ronjcharity]

Remember when that aired , great show

[@lukecho9225]

I loved every bit of this video!!!!

[@takamushinagamoto5086]

WAOW ! With Tony Levin on bass !

[@douglascooper1987]

All ICan Say Is WOW‼️ TOTALLY AMAZING ‼️👍👍

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

That's respect. Eddie is into all that electronics sn building stuff.

[@Mark-eu4di]

[@floyd6545]

The man was amazing!

[@billyclone4289]

Les paul and the master wow eddie !

[@scottmcgowan8213]

Jesus. LES PAUL STEPS ASIDE. But he does it for EVH. And damn if Eddie doesn't bring along Tony Levin AND Jan Hammer! Unbelievable

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Magnificent

[@philfrank5601]

Almost as much time between Les Paul in 58 to EVH in 88 to us now.

[@Albertgutierrez]

This was Eddie's best improvisation!!! Hands down!!

[@ratter531]

Eddie Van Halen Always Loved, Never Forgotten, Forever Miissed

Jan Hammer’s lead lines are great, like when he played with Jeff Beck

[@davidingling9791]

Very nice!

[@Petequinn741]

Give a shout out to the backing band .all top guys

[@davepugh7961]

Eddie rocked

[@NKellyMullen]

Imagine if he was actually in tune!

[@willswitchcraft]

I played every date of the 5150 tour (with the opening act, BTO)......met Les Paul back stage at one of those shows......what a joy and an amazing memory.........

[@NikosAnimals]

[@willswitchcraft]

Yes, we played a 35 minute opening set - every show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYe2oHyup6aVms0

George Costanza on the keytar!!!

[@fredfabris7187]

I’m gonna guess this is a highlight in band members career

[@yr5136]

エディーって弾くギターの個性が強すぎてどれだけ有名なミュージシャンとやっても噛み合わないんだなと思いました。

[@ericbackderf5584]

Wow, Tony Levin is on bass with EVH 😮

[@Acura1NSX]

"De Master" with bass master Mr. Levin

[@user-gs3ri6ek1d]

カッコいいなー

このベースって…あの人か すげえセッションだな

[@eldiablort1461]

Holy crap look who’s on bass?

[@rotarycomptech]

Somebody please tell me why Eddie Van Halen is not the number one guitar player of all time

[@jimmiller1780]

IMO, EVH was the greatest rock guitarist who ever lived.

[@theyetidude]

There's another Les Paul show where Eddie plays with Les Paul. Does anybody have that performance uploaded?

[@normthebaker7305]

Is that Jan Hammer on mini keyboards?

[@myhelpus1]

He was riding high with Miami vice..

[@johnn58]

Yes

[@flamindigo]

F'n E V H !

[@rodfer5406]

👏👏👏👏

[@francophillips1552]

George Costanza on keytar.

[@TomdeSabla]

Jan Hammer don't take no back seat either. He can light it up

[@curtisspeplinski6900]

They’re jamming together somewhere right now, luckily Tony Levin can’t play bass for them just yet, though. Ungodly playing by all present

[@nickarellano7266]

was that jan hammer?✨⚜️✨

[@zakofrx]

Yep... I need to watch some Miami Vice...

[@robertashmen9321]

Anyone recognise the drummer????

[@gvn2fly96]

On the Live Without a Net video what’s the little snippet he plays right before the Eruption solo? It’s a slow piece

[@gohtana]

Cathedral. i guess.

[@jeffshaw3466]

A piece he wrote while Valerie was pregnant with Wolfie that ended up on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge called 3:16 (Wolfie's birthday).

[@gvn2fly96]

@@jeffshaw3466 thanks so much, oft years I thought this was just a one off riff he did

I didn’t know the guy from Seinfeld played keyboards lol

[@CoolHand.]

Was Toni Levin still in King Crimson? What did I just see here?

[@zakofrx]

Was their a high quality sound recording of this done?

[@Erik-rp1hi]

That bass player played with Peter Gabriel also.

[@carlosrincon1551]

And King Crimson and with Yes (ABWH).

[@manmohankaur2776]

[@ricleonardis9314]

Eddie was right, Les Paul created much more than Eddie Van Halen.

[@jdspublic]

And he did it while completely obliterated.

[@daisyybert]

Why is George Costanza on keys?

[@Blackboxrecording0]

Thank God for Both of them....to hell with cigarettes😲😡
