The guitar used on tour was a miniature Les Paul, built by Nashville luthier David Petschulat and sold to Eddie on the earlier "Fair Warning" tour.

Going to a Van Halen concert in the 80s was a life altering event. Every time.

EVH's sound is so distinctive it goes through any sound quality and any speaker quality.

That little Les Paul should be the next signature model.

@zachmakis7041 2 ай бұрын

Yes. EVH would probably have to ask David Petschulat for permission tho

This day was magic, I've heard a lot of stories from this day I was there I have a good story thousands of people were smashed in line at the gate that I was standing at everybody had packed food to take in they made an announcement that no food was allowed in at that moment everybody took their food out and threw it up in the air and it just rained down sandwiches chips hot dog snacks everything you can think of it was really cool to see and then I got to see most of my favorite bands in one day unbelievable the crazy part is I still have the ticket stub it was only $20 and I worked all month in the yard for my mom and she gave me $150 cash to take with me man I miss the 80s

I watched this LIVE on a simulcast on tv and had it blaring through my ghetto-blaster on my end-table. It was on my TV and also being broadcasted over my local radio station back then. I actually recorded the audio with a cassette tape back then. What a cool concert, I had all the bands from “Heavy Metal Day” on cassette tapes. I’m just happy that I got to witness this concert, thanks to CITY-TV Toronto Canada for broadcasting that day 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Q107?

@@24theMoney Back then, CHUM-FM used to be a Rock station, I am pretty positive that it was CHUM-FM, I don’t think Q107 was invented until a few years later, or they weren’t big enough to hold such events. I remember,the first time I heard ZZTOP “Got me under Pressure “ and “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’” by Judas Priest was on CHUM-FM. They were waaay better than Q107 has ever been, that station rocked when it was a Rock ‘n’ Roll station. I’m 52 and remember it vividly. CITY-TV(Cable- 79) was the one that simulcast it on TV. It was still number 7 on my TV, but it was called “Cable-79”. Gord Martineau and Anne Mroczkowski were lead anchors on the news and the “Late Great” Mark Daily who said “THIS IS CITY-TV … EVERYWHERE”. God bless Mark Daily, he made that channel everything with his voice and humor.

Id only been listening to VH for 30 years before finally discovering this was a VH song. Sure it seems obvious now. But I was mostly familiar with the "Catch as Catch CAN" part and it lived in my brain as some remnant from the 80s than I suddenly click on a random video and my mind is blown

And that's a DLR era show lol. If you're going to go after the performance don't forget the off-key background vocals. The worst is the "oooooooh-oh's" by Dave during the bridge 😂. I literally physically cringed during those.... Be that as it may, I love it just the same.

It's always annoying when the whole band is expected to play the right notes and in ti!e, then Dave is out of time, off key, and can't remember the lyrics. Is it too much to expect that he just sing the damn song? WTF..
