This concert is one of those “If you could go back in time and play through one particular guitar rig” kind of thing for me. I’d wanna play his guitar pumping through that PA in that arena just to know how loud it was and how much air that moved. What a tone!

Why was Eddie the best rock guitarist? When you watch this video, if you are a fan of rock, I challenge your jaw not to drop to the floor in awe. Great composer. Great performer. Great riffs. Great energy. Great connection with the rest of the band. Looks like he is in heaven playing that guitar. He was truly the guy that every guitar player wishes they could even be half of.

[@wbrockstar9550]

One of the best and truest comments I've ever read about Ed that summed him up perfectly. He was like a snowflake, there will never be two of him and he will retain the thrown as the greatest ever for as long as this world is around.

[@richevans609]

Effortless... There was no one better.

[@ggaa111100]

When I first heard Eddie play I said to my friend "Well it looks like they'll all be competing for 2nd place now cuz this cat is from another galaxy." Rest easy Eddie

[@hesch-tag]

Far too much tapping for my liking. He was amazing and innovative but the tapping really annoyed me after a while. His swing, sound and rhythm playing were top notch but live I prefer Randy Rhoads, especially when it comes to solos and fills

[@RodrigoGonzalez-k8k]

No shit!! This entire album is hard to play...and I've been playing for 32+ years. Impossible to play a lot of those songs without a transtrem, so there's that excuse...I don't have a Steinberger!!

It's a difficult riff to play cleanly. But it's also a lot easier to play your own material, not someone else's. If that makes sense.

AND I bet you it was LOUD - Concerts today are movie theater volume nonsense

[@hobgoblin1976]

Well, in a book, Sammy Hagar told EVH's guitar had to be tweaked in the studio for parts of the live album Right Here, Right Now. Apparently he had difficulty keeping his axe in tune for some tracks those particular nights.

[@theshapeexists]

Sammy was like 40 here. And dancing around like a 15 year old while bringing top notch pipes to the microphone. Absolutely incredible. Alex absolutely beating the hell out of those drums, Eddie being peak Eddie, and Michael being the rock foundation with probably the best backup voice in all of rock. Just an unstoppable force back then.

[@emgeesea3983]

What's really incredible is how Eddie creates such a full band sound when playing rhythm, essentially on his own. Hard to believe it's just that guitar, a bass, and drums. And so damn clean. Even live. That's his true gift, imo.

[@urbanbader4113]

Funny you it's a technical issue thing to use 1 guitar with flanger and overdubs

Unbelievable performance! Sammy and the band took Van Halen to another level with 5150.

[@drjamescarren]

Man, I keep going back and forth on who I like more Sammy or DLR. The more I listen, with intent, Sammy takes it. Roth was/is a one of a kind performer, but Sammy was/is a true musician. I saw the best of All Worlds tour 2 months ago and Sammy was incredible. All they guys were awesome, Micheal, Jason and Joe. I was transported back to the 80's and loved every minute of it. Sammy just announced they will be back touring next year, I will be there.

[@davidyoung518]

That look and nod that Alex gave to Eddie at the end was such a perfect moment between brothers.

[@ModernDayWarrior2112]

They really had a true bond and kinship together. They knew telepathically what each other were gonna do. It's no wonder why Alex just decided to retire and never do anything else again. He doesnt need to. He's cemented his legacy along with his brother and has nothing left to prove. He loves and misses his bro.

Man oh man.....doesn't get any better than this. My mom worked a lot so we had a sitter watching over my brothers and me. She gave me 5150 on cassette for Xmas. To say it was life changing would be a complete understatement. The power, virtuosity, vocal harmony, and just plain fun.....
