Eddie Van Halen & Sammy "Love Walks In" (Bridge School Benefit 1993)

You rarely hear people talking about Eddie Van Halen's brilliant piano playing. This is one of my favorite ballads we wrote for 5150. In 1993, Neil Young invited me back to do another Bridge benefit and I brought Eddie. It was so special and unusual. We had never done anything like this. Please enjoy this treasure.

The piano/keyboards was one of Ed's great loves and what he was originally trained on before he ever picked up a guitar. All the great keyboard and synth melodies of the band were Ed's doing and they are as recognizable as anything he did on the 6-string. He had a knack for great jungles, chord progressions, and fills on the keyboard. When you hear just 1-2 notes you instantly know is a Van Halen song.

I built my bedroom into a shrine in respect and love for Van Halen. My son texted me at work on the day it was publicly released that Eddie had passed.

A lot of people disagree with me, but I have always thought, and still do believe, that Van Halen was the absolute best with You and Eddie Sammy. I liked Van Halen with Dave, but you being in the band brought Van Halen to a whole other level. And as much as Dave fans scream otherwise, Record Sales prove it. It's too bad that it didn't keep going on with Van/ Hagar because there was still so much to be able to do. Unfortunately....it will never be again. I give it to Wolfie for addressing that Van Halen is done now. It's very honorable of him to keep Van Halen what it was. Thanks for sharing this with us Sammy. Thank You Sammy for continuing onwards with Chicken Foot and Full Circle. Mostly, though, Thank You for burying the Axe, (in this case an actual guitar), with Eddie, and both of you finding forgiveness with each other. Truly shows the brotherhood and Love you both had for each other. MERRY CHRISTMAS SAMMY/ KARI and family, ALEX, MICHEAL, WOLFIE, VALERIE, JANIE and all family members.

@@rnladyn906 My comment was not a slight on his vocals at all they are amazing. I think even Sammy would agree that there have been better vocalists, guitar players, songwriters and frontmen. As a complete package I can think of few that are even in his neighborhood. Add the humility and genuine love for others and he sits by himself.

No one will Ever agree on a single best vocalist of all time, so that's debatable for life. I personally think Sammy is on the Mount Rushmore of American born singers, especially considering He's belting it out Better in his 70's than many many have ever done. A Class Act for Sure! Cheers 🍺

@@scout805 Agreed. Sammy is a PRO, which made live Van Halen performances SO MUCH BETTER than with the previous singer, uh, what was his name(?) oh yeah, Dave. Dave was great in the studio, but a mess when live. Sammy made the show great!

Sammy is a awesome singer i love his voice and the differant ranges he can take his voice.

[@reid1boys]

wow, this is a phenomenal video. Talk about putting yourself out there to sing this song with only keyboards behind? Nobody seems to do this stuff anymore.... all track vocals. Sammy started his career when I was like..... 3 years old, so his early stuff was a little before my day. By the time Sammy joined Van Halen, I was a huge fan and continue to be to this day. We went to his beach bash in Huntington beach, and though they were overwhelmed by the turnout(ran out of food, booze, gates opened hours late) it was still so much damn fun. I have been listening to Sammy's "The Essential Red Collection," during my workouts for the past few months. Just love his music and the man. I blew it a few years ago and was selected for his birthday bash but we couldnt go. Hopefully we get a second chance. Love ya Sammy!

[@frankiechan9651]

That legitimately made all the hairs on my arms stand up. What a wonderful gem of a performance that shows off the purity of that song. Thanks Sammy. Have a wonderful and safe Christmas.

I love the mistakes!! Makes these Gods human. But boy, in between the few mistakes is soooo sweet. I saw Sammy open for a band before VH, and i yelled, WHO is that??? Man, the perfect rock voice! And Eddie had so many talents beyond his magic guitar.

[@davidsthubbins176]

When Eddie does his little solo it almost sounds like ragtime to me.
