Van Halen - Mean Street (Live Video)

This version was recorded for Spanish TV, "Mean Street"" was the second single from "Fair Warning".
Reframed and adjusted the aspect ratio, touched up the video, added a little bit of sharpening as well as adding enhanced audio.
Hope you enjoy!

Van Halen rocks harder even when they're faking it than most bands today.

[@Seemsayin]

I'm a VH fan, from the beginning. They were special. I was saddened to see DLR go. Back then, no one could hold a candle to them. They were fresh. They were rockin. As far as I'm concerned... they're still relevant. There is no other.

[@guitarttimman]

We can let this slide because we all know that he did even better than this when he played live concerts. He proved himself many times over. This is obviously just to promote the LP at the time.😁

[@danielbrown1724]

I love Sammy but he could never write a vocal melody like this. Sammy was too pop and Dave was straight up Blues/Rock

[@guitarttimman]

@@danielbrown1724 Sammy was a great classic rocker in montrose, and solo, but he had to function around van Helen's style which was formed David Lee Roth's style. David Lee and Eddie were straight cool hippies that once got high together. And, that's how they wrote music.

[@Seemsayin]

@@guitarttimman Exactly. But, sometimes I wonder if bands like VH were enthusiastic at all about lip-syncing. Ya know... faking it. Feel like Eddie would have been eye-rollin the idea. I guess if the price was right... they would have played with a ukulele and a bongo.

Favorite van halen tune. I cant express what this does

[@andrewjackson7758]

I'm torn between Fair Warning and Van Halen as the best Van Halen album ever. Certainly the bass Mike plays on Fair Warning is the most interesting bass parts of the studio catalog. He deserves credit as a top tier bassist and rarely gets it. His background vocals get most of the attention, but he's a jack of all trades. Songs like Running with the Devil, Eruption, Little Dreamer, On Fire and Atomic Punk elevate the first album to near metal, but Mean Streets, Sinners Swing, Dirty Movies and One Foot Out the Door swing like sledgehammers too. Can I like both albums equally?

[@shewolfcub3]

I think Van Halen II is their best

[@danielstevenson2772]

You can like them both equally. I give the nod to Fair Warning as my favorite VH record with VHI a close second.

@@shewolfcub3 Absolutely!!! Love the first 4 Van Halen albums almost equally. But Van Halen 2 is the Shit!!!

[@alexlackner1945]

Yeah the way the bass & drums drive this song is pretty fuckin cool

[@ugaais]

VH1 and Fair Warning top two no doubt…
