Van Halen - Cabo Wabo (RESTORED VIDEO)

Fourth single from their 1988 album, "OU812", peaking at #31 in 1992 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
Tweaked the colour correction and corrected the aspect ratio as well as added enhanced audio.
Hope you enjoy!

Michael Anthony could front any band. His backing vocals are incredible !!!!!!!!!!!! It's really Anthony's vocals that puts the cream on top of Van Halens sound !!!!!!!!

[@waynebrown2546]

too bad that all of his talents were powered over since he was hired "not part of the family" we all KNOW it's Eddie, but he's been blessed with a lot of musical talent around him

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

YEP !!! SAW THE CIRCLE last Year .

[@Kim-ri7ey]

Yep, but he's doing ALRIGHT making everyone look fabulous, truly humble to the band and his trade... Millions he's

[@Kim-ri7ey]

​@@BRUTUSPLACwow, you saw the Circle... Excellent 🤟l think Mikey knows his worth, just staying humble to his trade, making all the frontmen sound fabulous 🤣, he's got GOAT quality with that bass and sitting pretty in my eyes, just saying... 🎶🎶🎶🎶😜!

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

@@Kim-ri7ey Good Morning - I saw VAN HAGAR /HALEN on thier last tour. SAmmy 3 times , The Circle 4 years? with Night Ranger opening . and this past Tuesday Jason's LZE open for Govt Mule. I'm 56

[@rubadee]

jesus. you can't better than this. these guys were on top of their game. I love the old stuff. it was so part of my life but this is different. They finally had a real singer that could sing live.

[@MrShawnster714]

Look how much fun they were having! Thats all that counts! We love and miss you Eddie!

[@tuul75]

Entire band sounds fantastic. Sammy’s vocals and Eddie’s playing. ❤️

[@barryjones9362]

Sammy says the group required him to sing the live parts again in studio so they could overdub, apparently, his actual live singing wasn't good enough.

[@luisbohorquez7096]

👍👍👍VH 🤙🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️🍺🍺🍺🎸🎸🤙

[@justinclark8867]

​@@barryjones9362It was more that they weren't in sync with Eddie's re-recorded parts, as he was out of tune.

This band had everything they needed at this time

This brings me back to a happier time! Long live King Eddie!

best band in the world, I'm sure back than they were really good friends and enjoyed their time together

[@bosco7716]

What a line up this was!!! They had a ball on stage

[@Speedy-ms6ck]

So we're just going to ignore that Badass Bass line coming from the one and only " Michael Anthony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍

He's a damn good lead singer too!!

[@dianamccutcheon9995]

This was so awesome, I love Van Halen! And I miss Eddie so much!

[@jeffsweeney8787]

This band was one of the best live bands in history. Went 5 shows on this tour. Went with different people each time. Every understood why I wanted to see them again.

[@ryanmckenzie696]

The Goat is King Eddie but Damn Michael Anthony is so under rated as a Bass Player!!! That dude is on a a whole new level and he is so humble!!!

[@clubredken13]

I'm not sure Eddie is a goat. A goat is a farm animal. But to be respectful, I choose not to be lazy so I call Eddie the Greatest Of All Time.

[@clubredken13]

@Dartgame 340 I assume you're saying I'm the smartest person in the room. Thanks! I'll take it.

[@Kim-ri7ey]

I think Mikey knows his worth 🤑,he makes all the frontmen sound fabulous 🤣, He's fucking amazing 🎶🎸😜!

In my opion 5150 and OU812 are their best albums.

[@carljohnson6337]

1988, I'm 16 lying on the beach in Panama City listening to this song when the girl I met a few days earlier strolls up in her bikini and asks to take a dip in the ocean 😁 Those were the days!

[@1Caplaw]

I like to think that musical talent and energy is just floating around in the ether, waiting to land on some unsuspecting, incredibly blessed young man or woman. I hope with all my heart I'm right. The world needs Eddie Van Halen talent.

[@greys1989]

What a great riff to run that song!

[@cmccarthy]

I think that of the 2 live albums they recorded, this is the single best song of the lot. It's just perfect and it lends itself so nicely to a live performance.

[@markespich8574]

Never thought Sammy should have joined Van Halen, he’s always been tops in my collection but, I believe it was a win-win for both of them. A lot of great music.

[@MarcW-l7e]

Love the tempo ...

The MIGHTY VAN HALEN 😎👊

[@lisarhodes3206]

What Awesome times! EVH was just the best! So talented! Can't believe he's gone! Never forget Monsters of Rock in 1988. I was just a kid but boy do I remember making my way through the huge crowd in Memphis, TN and being right at the front of the stage with these guys and being squirted with a water hose by Sammy H. Not only did I get to see these legends but so many great bands! Best times ever!!!!!

[@mangafq8]

What on earth? I can't make heads or tails out of the sound or the lyrics. And what are the guys wearing? Not my scene clearly. smh Why would people go to what appears to be an idyllic place, Cabo, only to be bombarded with noise pollution? God bless us all. PS I had to google the lyrics to understand what they were "singing." Just as I thought: their music desecrated this beautiful place.

[@ritarollins6664]

You’re embarrassing yourself. You shouldn’t comment on what you don’t know about. It’s called Van Halen in the late 80s. And we all dressed that way 🤟

[@christopherwonnacottnumber1]

Tool

[@scottgross5236]

Uninformed ding dong. Maybe do some research and see what Sammy Hagar has brought and done for the sleepy little town ( not anymore ) of Cabo San Lucas. Have you even been there? If you have then you would surely know that the Cabo Wabo sits right in the middle of downtown area with some of the best food available not to mention live musical entertainment. It is beautiful there and fun. There are parties and then there are Cabo parties. Smh sad.

[@8569jimboslice]

You're old.

[@dianamccutcheon9995]

You're embarrassing yourself by commenting! You were better off not saying anything! This was the late eighties and we all dressed like that! Next time just keep your comments to yourself lady!
