[@richardkeller4193]

Watch the US Festival gig on KZbin. It's the only thing he knows. Same with Robert Plant. Played guitar solos on his 1988 tour. They only learn one thing so they can call themselves "musicians" outside of singing and playing harmonica.

[@yourlehrness]

Dave consistently played acoustic (rhythm) guitar on every song with an acoustic guitar in the Van Halen MKI catalog.

Brian Young on guitar - he used to be in local bands in Ventura, CA. I grew up nearby in Ojai. He gave my best friend a few guitar lessons.

[@andresihotang2314]

I believe his problem on stage was to 'fight' with the loud sounds from other instruments and other noises on the stage, hence he could not push his voice in the best way he could have done. This unplugged setting, you can enjoy his voice very much, he did those songs really well and comfortably in a low-noise setting.

[@YTOnceAgain]

Do you know about those things called "monitors" or even "in-ear-monitors"?

Also filmed very early in the morning, which is tough to get you’re vocals to a peak performance without extensive stretching and care.
