I grew up in the house above 5150 and sometimes they would leave the doors open and just jam , definitely very lucky to grow up there. I would see Eddie driving around in his 356 red Porsche , then his Muira then his black Countach , I never met him but I sure wish i had.

To be a fly on the wall in there at any point. What a gift that would be. Andrew Bennett…I’m truly jealous of your time spent there…and other’s like Chris Bruck. I can’t imagine the things that got heard in that studio! I feel emotional…but not in a joyful way and can’t help it. Maybe I’m just depressed stm…but man…I miss this band. The current drama is ridiculous, and love Wolf for following his own path. Love his playing and singing. Just tremendous! I need a hug with wings! ❤❤❤😢

We were on the Outer Banks of North Carolina when word came out of Eddies passing. We were on the ferry taking us to Ocracoke when my Brother told me and my Son he saw it online. I pulled out my phone and googled and saw it was true. I'm 61 and saw VH 8 times during their prime. 1979, 1981, three times in 1982 and three times in 1984. I saw them once with Cherone and again on the 2007 tour. 2007, we were at the first show in Charlotte. A young Wolf came out before the show and we called out to him and he walked over and signed an autograph for my Son. Fair Warning (1981) was the best show I saw. While on the ferry, I told my Son about Eddies solo on the FW tour. I was standing on the floor (general admission back then, no chairs) about 20 feet from the stage, dead center. When Eddie played the classical part of eruption, there was a huge cheer from the crowd and he looked up and smiled. As I told my Son that, my eyes filled with tears and my voice began to crack up. I saw that show in Charlotte also. It was at what was then the Charlotte Coliseum. It's the Bojangles Coliseum now. Many fun trips to see VH back in the day. Cherished memories. Where have all the good times gone? I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for posting it.

Saw them in Washington DC on 8/8/86. $15 and to this day one of the best shows I have ever seen! It will be very interesting to see over the course of the next 5, 10, 20 years what will surface (if any) of all that sacred material inside 5150 studios!
