[@cory3518]

My fave song off 1984 and they nailed it. I do miss Michael in this one. Alex is such an incredible drummer

[@revswank]

The most underrated Van Halen song...and one of their best.

[@unicornsteaks6769]

I've always thought this song and Top Jimmy were the two best songs they made that weren't hits. Atomic Punk gets an honorable mention.

[@JackOwens]

Unicorn Steaks This and House of Pain are my favorites on 1984.

[@gerrydutch3589]

Solid choices

[@kennethchartrand4251]

From 1984, Girl Gone bad and House of Pain were my favorites without doubt.

[@johnlampe3258]

I remember the first time I heard this being disappointed when Dave started singing, because up to that point, it was an amazing prog rock instrumental.

[@yourinnervoiceyourinnervoi8552]

Eddie said this is one of his favorite songs and I agree.!!!

One of my favorite songs... so bad ass. Love the fusion feel of it. Interested message too.

Wolfs backing vocals are actually pretty damn good.

I have always loved this song because of its energy and gutar playing. Eddie did it great in this performance...

Still can't believe it. Waiting to wake up. 😭 Thanks so much for the best music of my life and youth when music made you happy and not mad at the world. ♥️ R.I.P. Edward.

[@TMoody]

It makes me wanna sit here and cry to think this will never happen.... never be captured live again.

[@iamthepapa]

I understand. If you ever saw Eddie in concert, you felt that you were in the presence of greatness. I saw him with Cherone and this concert in 2012. Both times I felt I was seeing something special.. He was a musical genius.

[@ScaleRacingChannel]

Dave reminds me of Randy Watson from the band Sexual Chocolate.

[@bigshow1616]

It's amazing that anyone can play that song live, it's a freaking handful. Alex kept it together a couple times. Really miss Anthony's vocals on this one. Tremendous song, tough live. Ed, as always has the chops, will continue to miss him.

[@riffmeister76]

Brilliant virtuoso Eddie performance

[@bayesian2007]

The original Van Halen should’ve never broken up.

[@jironthunder7519]

This captures the angst and the color of the 80s in such a perfect way🎉

[@onefortypointsixmedia7469]

No offense but wow, they really need Michael Anthony's background vocals.

[@onefortypointsixmedia7469]

Paul Floyd I dunno about that. I saw them on the Fair Warning tour, 1984 tour and the 5150 tour and I don't remember the vocals being THAT horrendous.

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

Correct correct correct Wolfie doesn't fit in at all I don't hear his bass I don't hear his vocals he doesn't have the stage presence he's just some fat diabetic kid riding on his dad's coattails Roth looks great by the way at a superficial level incredible for zaide could pass for many years younger but the voice is clearly already shot. In my opinion Eddie and Alex are holding up the thing

Michael Anthony had top notch backing vocals. It really gave Van Halen much of their identity and sound.

[@weldhawk1]

I love how they all look like they are genuinely having a blast!

[@iamthepapa]

Thanks. After seeing them, i could see just following them around the country. They are on fire right now, and DLR seems to also be getting better every night too.

[@RyanConnell5150]

He sounded like a bagpipe being drug behind a ditch digger when I saw them in early May.

[@jacquesdoucet1124]

Michael Anthony. Not there. And it's noticed.

[@arnoldevertsen]

Well with him this could not be played like this

[@TheSason666]

This song is my favourite from EVH !!!

[@capnmo6718]

Pst. Dave. Dave! This isn't a lounge song.

[@gagealbright]

thanks it's hard to find late era vh shows with good audio! and evh played a great guitar solo on this one

[@badnews1967]

He truly was remarkable! Legends live 4ever.

[@EchoTangoRocks]

To follow VH on tour is my Dream! Thanks for the tip on the HX30, added to my wish list.

[@aceof66]

30 years later and not only are they ALIVE they still kick ass! Wolfie chose the set lists for each tour 2007 and 2012. What frosted Eddie about Michael Anthony is the fact he toured with Hagar as the other half other half of what? The other half of Van Halen is Alex in Eddies eyes!!! Too bad they can't find a way back.

[@sasgayable]

Eddie could wail but we really shouldn't forget how awful a person he was

[@downincognito72]

1 of the forgotten Gems from the early catalogue (1974-1984) of at He Mighty VH.

[@65Magnifico]

Nah! I think the audience is that stunned at how good this is that they just want to soak it all up & listen!! This is amazing & KING EVH's solo is as close if not better than the album version!!! WOW!!!

[@stevesmith3556]

I can see why they wanted Dave out.

[@aidancuddy888]

Holy shit, the background vocals sounds like a dying cat. They really need to bring back Michael Anthony.

[@michaelanctil4925]

Van Halen is far an above any band out today or in the past.Eddie's playing revolutionized guitar playing just like hendrix did in the sixties.VH ruled in late seventies and early eighties like no other band of that time.Alex is so under rated as a drummer and even though Dave is not the greatest singer he's by far the greatest frontman.Name me another frontman who did flying leaps twenty feet in the air or worked the crowd they way he did.Their music is like a freight train get out of the way.

[@Babakati]

Dave always sang this way live, just go and check out the videos from the 80s

[@RyanConnell5150]

Not at all. He sounded HORRIBLE on this tour.

[@seanmullins7568]

SIMPLY THE BEST EVER...RIP

[@TheDDG]

Who said he was mad? He just said that Mike's vocals are what makes Van Halen go. I saw this tour and loved it, but he's right. It's not a slam at Wolfie to say that Mike's vocals are SORELY missed.

[@LGprensa]

Amo esta cancion!!!

[@droppe1d]

It was quiet. Not many know this song even though its on 1984. Its my favorite song from that album. I was soaking it up. Thanks.

[@Jwestcott5000]

A+ for the music. Wolfgang can't replace Mike on those backing vocals though.

[@LGprensa]

Tremenda banda!!!

[@sbrave]

Is Roth really even participating? It's like he stands there and talks the words and sometimes snaps his fingers. I realize he's not the same DLR as 1981, but c'mon!! Jagger can outmove this clown.

Dave is shot out! Instead of just covering the stage and doing his best with vocals, he is still trying to play the sexy circus ringleader. It has now fallen to cheesy vegas lounge singer and creepy guy at the club. And, in closing, Dave...can you please get that stupid f***ing “OMG ! I’m actually back in the band!” smile off of your face?

not in this live time,,,,mikes vocals were van halen............sorry bro

[@briansmith3983]

I suppose in a way it's good to have Eddie Van Halen around. I mean, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't strive. Just makes you realize that you probably won't be able to shoot for being number one.Thirty something years of being the best that ever was, kind of makes it unlikely that you can be up to the challenge.

[@chuckpollard4778]

Love this song. Not the same without Mike A.

[@TotalSinging]

Anyone who rattles on that "Dave can't sing anymore... Eddie is... blah.. blah.. blah...." never got it and never will.

[@greggardner2042]

This is painful

[@akimmbo]

notice first two verses Dave sounds great, when he stays in that Range. When he tries to 'reach' he just can't hit it anymore. I'm not sure if it's Dave that's that bad, I think it's the backup singing "Girls Gone Bad" Maybe they couldn't hear the vocals in the monitors or something. Wolfie's not in the right key. but he's still doin' great on bass. I think he slid right in there just fine. Sure , we miss Mike, but he's not gonna play with these guys ever again. So, we move on. Eddie' rocks it as usual, and Alex is still phenomenal, you can hear that right? Great Lineup, This is the year of ADKOT...which is their last great hurrah...Roth, he's my idol, always was, just wish he would stop trying to reach what he can't hit as he's older now, and just stay in the freakin' pocket, ;-)

[@brianhyland4140]

He’s had some very good performances during the last couple of tours- some of the fair warning tunes I thought he was very good, Dave is Dave though and I’m not sure if he even rehearses what a singer should, he doesn’t seem to take it seriously- he’s hit and miss. However, it’s sad this won’t ever happen again, saw them once in London with Sammy and they were excellent. 1993. 🤘

[@DaveCaolo]

How come I can remember the words but Dave can't? :)

[@austntexan]

Dave looks like he's wondering around up there, lookin' for something to do.

Thanks for the offer. I would gladly take you up on that, but i had a drunk girl next to me that talked my ear off and ruined the recording for Kool and the Gang. I really liked the quality of your video. Almost appears that you had a tripod of some sort. What kind of camera were you using?

[@larrybrown7273]

One The Greatest B Sides Ever Recorded Not The Re-Mastered BullShit Either

[@deebop4904]

Why doesnt it sound quite right ? No michael anthony. This is what happens when you " replace" a founding member. I love wolfie. Isnt his fault. Sheenan would have been the same thing. Good. But not right.

[@iamthepapa]

WOW, that's a nice camera. 16X optical? that's crazy good for a pocket size camera. Do you really need 20X? :-) The sound quality on your videos were pretty good as well. I guess you didn't hear, but on the VH tour, all cameras are allowed, including SLR's. I thought about bringing mine, but i already was doing video & a portable audio setup. SLR would have just been too much.

[@iamthepapa]

I got kind of lucky in that i didnt have any screamers, singers, or talkers directly next to me. However my recording of Kool and the Gang is unusable due to a drunk rude-ish chick that would not shut the fuck up. Low sensitivity mics also helped

[@GETole]

Dave is simply horrid.

Well, considering I saw the real band perform this is 1984, and have been playing music for 30+ years, I'd say I have a very good idea ....bud?

[@iamthepapa]

Not delusional. I beg to differ that the high harmonies sound awful. You have absolutely nothing of value or constructive to say, that I can see. I loved the new album and loved this concert that i attended and posted online. They may not meet your expectations, but they surpassed mine. Music can be subjective, like beauty. Do not come here to shit all over this video and Van Halen when there are plenty of fans that love the version of VH and the new album, and Wolfie. Goodbye.

[@brianreeder601]

My first concert in my life was VH in Fort Wayne IN 1980 and haven't missed a tour show since...saw them at Allstate arena Chicago 2012 and have it on DVD and this band has never sounded better live!!!!! I have stayed with the VH brothers through all the drama and must say they have taken the high road and don't run around talking trash about Hagar and his obvious Alcohol problem! They are sober, playing great and Sammy is drunk and depressed he is so irrelevant ...goodbye Hagar !

[@BurnRoddy]

I think is Diamond Dave and Freddie Mercury both are the best frontomans ever by Faaaaaaaar

[@arnoldevertsen]

This is just a great performance from a musical view. i Dave agree is just noodling around but damn hear the rest of the band just nail this track better than ever. On 1984 the bass playing is so weak they probably just mixed into nowhere. But wolfgang knows how to sound like bass!! And actually he sings exactly the same as Mike did on the 1984 tour. no offense to Mike though

[@jmgmarcus808]

They look kind of tired, I love this track and I'm glad to see them finally acknowledge it after 20 something years but Mikes voice not being in it kinda brings it down a little also, maybe this is why they took a break.

David Creep Roth.

[@Wilkster5150]

Listen to EVERY version of HAIL or WIL on this tour and if you still seriously think Mike's vocals were SORELY missed, than I'm guessing you are tone deaf. The Mike/Sam lovers need to either let it go or just go be fans of Chickenfoot if you miss em so much. Ed and Al are what make VH GO, not a bassist playing 8th notes and singing harmonies. And saying the brothers "held back" MA's playing is hilarious, because his "freedom" in CF has not produced any different bass playing.
