Van Halen - Summer Nights (SUPERSCALED) 🇺🇸

[@TraditionalVibe]

Yes sir, you are so right. It was the absolute best. I wish I could live it all over again.

[@RS-qo1rb]

Yes brother. Rock forever. ❤

[@phaxad]

Yes. I've watched this concert many times on VHS when I was 15. I was born in '73 😀👍

@@phaxad me too dude. I saw them three times. Rocked each time. Left the show very happy.

[@scottcarey5635]

You really are doing gods work. When i first saw KZbin' I was happy just have all the videos I had in the 80's......but now in 4K.Well done

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

I just wish copyright holders were as happy with some upscales. Sometimes, they allow it. Sometimes, it'll just get blocked. On rare occasions, I'll get a copyright strike which expire in 90 days - three of those and KZbin terminates my channel. I'm currently at two so I'm quite nervous to be uploading upscales right now lol

[@joewilliams3919]

How on earth could anyone object to this? I know….well, please keep doing it….you can bet the fans are with you, and if it becomes necessary to abandon whoever the hell “KZbin” is , we will support you

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

@@joewilliams3919 Truth of the matter is if they can make money on them. I don't even attempt to monetize them as any money should rightfully go to the artist. I do them because I love the music and I'm often unsatisfied with what the record companies offer as "official videos". I don't get paid to do them (although that would be pretty sweet if I did lol) Hey, if you want to buy me a coffee, the link's in the video description 😎

[@pinkaholic09]

I asked Edward one time " how do you do it ?".... His reply was "GOD." "It's not ME its GOD"

[@MgoUmk]

5:32...

[@Ridingraven12]

You can tell Eddie was genuinely happy and enjoying himself. They all were

[@ShawnLane-ww1er]

I agree completely,...He looks like a man that head out to Vegas,...And hit it BIG,...lol.

[@pinkaholic09]

He was HIGH. Always high. I knew him for 4 years too long. He was a drama queen, was a problem in all personal & professional relationships. The only person he got along with was his brother. He was always drunk & high until his Vegas show, when he began a relationship with Janie. He had a bad trip when his coke dealer gave him product laced with meth, he told me. He became hooked on meth, lost the rest of his teeth. I absolutely love his music though, with SH. I saw the band 3 times in high school, one of my favorites.

[@soundofwinter]

@@pinkaholic09that’s quite a claim. How exactly did you know him?

[@pinkaholic09]

We met at Sushi Roku Santa Monica CA at a business dinner held by my friend & business associate in abouts 2002. I sold Edward's titanium handmade guitar pick that he gifted to me on Ebay in 2016 to a collector in Iowa.

[@ShawnLane-ww1er]

@@pinkaholic09 you definitely knew him at almost the lowest point in his life, and from what i understand his personal life was filled with just as many high's as Low's and that is common for an alcoholic and drug addicted musician, i remember i think in 2005-2007 there was a guitar world edition i forgot which month which featured him on the cover behind a white backdrop, the person taking the pictures during the photoshoot said Edward looked so bad they had to do airbrush work on the pic just for it to make the cover the original photo was so unflattering, he lived the life of 20 men easily.....he had no regrets upon that death bed,.....

[@SimonLloydGuitar]

This band hit nothing but net from the start to the end of their career. Greatest band of all time.

[@curlywurly70]

The stuff with Gary Cherone didn't impress me. Gary sounded great but Mike Post should not have produced that album. Eddie was heavily drinking at the time and it showed.

[@RS-qo1rb]

@@curlywurly70yes 😢I think he said he wished they had gone on tour first to get introduced to the family. But the album must agree. 👍🏻

[@noneyerbidness]

WRONG. VH III sucked. I love VH and I love Gary - but that never shoulda happened.

[@mikedisd3]

​@@noneyerbidnessAgreed, I bought the CD and didn't even listen to the whole thing more than once, whereas I had every other record memorised. I'm an even bigger Extreme fan but that crossover just didn't work.

[@sweetwilliam5150]

@@noneyerbidness the tour was pretty great though

[@tonystamp9251]

Michael Anthonys backing vocals....wow

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

And it seems effortless for him

[@derf2580]

VH’s true signature sound

[@RKDriver]

He was always such a key pillar in their whole sound. Backing vocals can add so much and bring a unique quality to a band. VH, Def Leppard, Queen are just a few that had that going for them and MA was the guy for VH.

[@steveg6035]

And a really deep funky line holding below the solo. That rhythm section was ridiculous on top of having a generational player like EVH.

[@rocknrollreststop7110]

Eddie is right where he wants to be in this video you can see it all over his face you really can’t beat this

[@bacchusendo9032]

yeah thats what i keep noticing through all of these videos. he's on stage playing and has this big loveable smile on his face like he's truly in his happy place. And then a cigarette holder in his on guitar-neck is the most rock and roll thing ever.

[@VHer5150]

Eddie = The King

[@nedaCFilms]

He absolutely 100% without a doubt was the greatest… the king 👑

[@MrRockon711]

Most artists today would be tired after doing one song at this level no less a whole show!

[@rickjames6867]

The genuine happiness on Eddie's face never gets old. Those were the good old days. Thanks for sharing. ✌️💙😊

[@MyVideos-fm7ug]

It makes you wonder how things went from what we see in this video, to what would eventually become complete darkness and chaos. It’s alarming to say the least, and much of it could have been prevented had they all just communicated with each other and took the time to hear the other one out But having two brothers in a band that was named after them, plus the booze and the toot… those things have a way of creating an impenetrable barrier that kept much needed conversations from happening. And so the emotions end up becoming bottled up until at least one of them can no longer handle any more causing it to shatter into explosive shards of glass Never would I have thought that Mike was at the center of some awful controversy at this time just a couple of years prior

[@johnm1503]

He's is so happy doing what he loves. Loving something, anything and pursuing it with passion as he does with gigantic smile should teach us all a lesson. Do what you want and what makes you happy cuz you're dead a long time. Thank you VH and Sammy for great songs and memories from the early 80's.

[@dva601]

Eddie smokin his heater and blowing smoke rings while shredding. Legend!

[@adaminthehouse2]

​@@_jeronimobraga you are aware Angus Young has smoked cigs like a chimney since he was a kid and is in his 70's now right? I doubt EVH ever smoked nearly as much as Angus has so you can't directly point to his smoking for the cause of his cancer. I'm willing to bet he was doing much worse things, than smoking cigarettes, at certain points in his life

[@nicholascarlyle9270]

VAN FUKIN HALEN!!!

[@JoeZaccaris]

I miss the 80's so damn much --- just me and my friends hanging out on a summer night having laughs and listening to VH on our boom box!

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I always listen to Hot Summer Nights on the first night of summer every year.

[@tommcd527]

I will say it a million times, and mean it everytime Being a guitarist myself, I know what EVH was to me. Everyone else here knows what he meant to them. You can throw out all the superlatives you want about The Master, but there is never going to be an argument about his mastery of his chosen art. No else had players around the planet going "What the F is that". From his grin to his fingers Eddie was born to bring us joy through his expression of his art, and you can thank whatever god you believe in that he shared his joy with us. ALWAYS #1 UNPARALLELED. When the master emerged, from the opening chords of you really got me, every player knew the sonic landscape was changed in a way that was unheard of up to that time. Eruption smashed his foot onto your throat daring you to try to emulate him. No one can. There was never anyone like him, and there will never be another, and I miss his artistry.

[@motodavid483]

Amen to every single word you wrote. Pure truth.

[@billsouza4457]

For sure...I don't think anyone can really argue the fact that EVH and Jimi Hendrix were the two most influential rock guitarists to ever live. They both literally changed the rock guitar landscape for a decade once everyone heard them. Hendrix heavily influenced 70's rock guitar and everyone came out of the woodwork trying to sound like Eddie in the 80's.

[@outermarker5801]

This is what _real_ great live Rock vocal looks, feels and sounds like, Tamplin!

[@adaminthehouse2]

4:30 Alex with that big smile and enjoying himself is a rare sight! He usually looked so focused and following Eddie’s lead, I love it! I can’t imagine what AVH is going through but he’ll always be a legend!

[@TheOGOrangeCat]

Amazing! This is probably my favourite concert of all time. To see it superscaled is a true joy. Thank you 🙏👍

[@xp50player]

[@richevans609]

None... except these guys.

[@Richie-o1o]

The debate is endless about whether Van Halen or Van Hagar is better but watching EVH in this video he is as happy as I can ever remember. Ultimately that's what counts! EVH is having the time of his life caught on video

[@rocknuts]

Edward's smile. He was like a kid on candy. Thanks for upscaling these videos crosscut.

[@geraldhartley]

Such an immaculate restoration. Looks like it could have been filmed yesterday.

[@ruthylopez]

When Eddie uses the "tapping" technique he's sort of playing it like a piano. Makes sense since he started on piano. We're so used to his greatness, that we tend to forget how unreal he was. And I can't even imagine what he would have been if he had EVER been sober while he played......lol

[@adamwhizbang]

I remember watching this over and over on VHS! I know every song, every little goofy face, every note. So cool to see upscaled! Never looked this good on a VCR!

Awesome job man. I think I wore out my VHS tape back during the day. Loved this show. You can tell the band is having fun and just enjoying the fans and each other. I also seen this tour in my hometown and it was the same as in the Live Without a Net video. I think I remember Wolfie has said that once his own thing dies down a bit and he can emotionally handle it, He will go through the 5150 studio and go through all the content that his Dad has. And man, What a time that will be!

[@geraldhartley]

This is just beautiful. Thank you!!

[@peteradahl5147]

Wow, that upbeats and transformations , solo so cool, Eddie is the one of all guitarist

No matter who Sammy has playing for him, none of them have been able to duplicate this song and this sound. Eddie was a King. Some of the greatest in the world today still can't make it sound like this.

[@carolk5770]

Incredible Sammy…so talented & an absolute genius in his many ventures in this life! ❤ love ya Sam & Mikey is so cute too!! Two terrific human beings 🥰

[@susancorgi]

OMG the sound quality of this live performance is just unheard of.

[@srincident]

Nobody even comes close. I've never seen any guitarist in my 53 years that seemed so one with their instrument.

[@CR7ADP10]

EVH was truly one of a kind, it all came so naturally for him. I've been playing guitar since I was 6, I'm now almost 40, but NO ONE can truly replicate what he was doing. Sure, one can learn the songs, the riffs, chords, etc, but it was something in his hands that one immediately says "That's Eddie" when they hear him play... you just can't hear it from anyone else even if he/she is playing the same songs... I hope what I posted makes some sense.

[@mack666wikid]

have to commend Ed's jamming a cig into the headstock of a headless guitar. Need to get me another Steinberger they're great little things.

[@kevinhendrix8786]

I saw "this" concert. Well, their version at the Cleveland Coliseum on the 5150 tour. My first VH concert. And yeah, I know the Dave vs. Sammy debate, but enjoyed both versions of the bad. But was too young to see the Diamond Dave version of the band.

[@imarriedabrkfsttaco3737]

Got LWOAN on VHS when it came out. Played that thing to death. This version of Summer Nights is the best IMO. Ed's solo is incredible!

[@bighf24]

From 3:59-4:04 how he finished the scale perfectly with the beat pause all while freestyling a live solo (aka improvising and making shit up as you go)… this is proof god exists cuz that’s a talent no human can teach another one given the smile on his face with how purely happy and comfortable he was and how he could play something so effortlessly as if he practiced it a million times when really he didn’t even know wtf he was doing his fingers just had a mind of their own… but who wouldn’t be that happy in that moment when you’re doing what you love and you’re just naturally that damn good at it. Eddie’s guitar and Chester Benningtons vocals the world will never see any talent comparable to again. 🐐

5150 was written for Roth to sing on. He heard a good amount of the songs prior to it being recorded with Sammy. Shame that it didn’t come to be.

[@marcfranchic4062]

It’s great to hear anything new whatever time it came from Phone. I understand they’re sitting on a whole album that was finished. It was never released. That would be awesome if they would release it unless be able to hear what it was like.

[@doublestrokeroll]

At 2:50 you can hear how important EVH's backing vocals are to the VH sound that so many whine about only Anthony being able to do. When he takes a drag on the cig and it's only MA's vocal, it sounds half as good. The backing vocals in the studio were a combination of ALL of them singing. Including Dave on the early stuff and probably sammy on the later but I'm not a huge sammy fan so I don't know for sure. Not just MA.

[@MyVideos-fm7ug]

I listed 4 times and I don’t hear any difference. Eddie couldn’t sing to save his life. The only reason why he sounded okay whenever he did was because he had Mike to harmonize off of
