Van Halen - Good Enough (unreleased LWOAN)

[DrugstoreCFH]

Damn, parents had me listening to this when I was 5. Still fucking love it!!!!!!!!!!

[downincognito72]

Sammy was cool on this tour! what happened?

[Johnny3031000]

YEEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[dchamp351]

BADASS!! MY PERSONAL FAV !!

[UKGameMaster]

4 people don't have babies to say hello to.

[RichardLaarge]

5150 tour looked off the fucking hook.

[mcquestion]

Epic in every sense of the word.

[codebreaker212p]

3 people werent good enough

[MrPman851]

At least Sam put this great song on his 2007 DVD "Livin It Up Live In St. Louis".

[zisoul]

It's bull fucking shit that the Full Live Without A Net Video dose not have the full

complete show on video of sll the songs they played at New Heaven,CT in '86.

LWOAN should finaly be rleased with the full show on it with Unleashed special

they did for mtv when it stood for music television.

[mooshimanx]

Sammy could sing just fine, but I'd be pretty pissed off if I went to a VH show and they didn't play any of their songs because the new lead singer didn't like singing the old songs because he wasn't on 'em.

[SgtHeadstomper]

These guys were great during this album and tour. I wish they kept the music more rockin. They went from one or two commercial songs on 5150 to the whole album sounding lite and fluffy on 0U812 which in my opinion is the worst VH album next VH111.

[bigduke5150]

I just bought my first bass A string!

[MrJobu73]

@bigduke5150

Mikes a smokn bass player. Check out chickenfoot. He just didn't have room to play in Van Halen. He didn't need to he was a team player and played 16th notes without ever complaining. somebody had to hold the beat while Ed and alex went crazy. Obviously you haven't played in a band.

[bigduke5150]

@MrJobu73 I was referring to fact that Eddie uses an A string from a bass tuned down to A to replace the low E on his guitar just to play Good Enough.

I just purchased an A string just to play Good Enough. Don't worry I like Mike!

[VanHalenLedZeppelin7]

My theory is that if you hate hagar, DLR or even cherone, u ain't no Van Halen fan!

[alagogo]

@VanHalenLedZeppelin7 amen ! i like all three !

[RockoParker]

@VanHalenLedZeppelin7 I FUCKING AGREE! =VH= rules!

[bigtimanugga]

this song makes me wanna fuck hard

[DJGrenola]

Great to hear this, didn't know it existed. Thanks.

[tsanchez5150]

Pissed this isn't on my DVD!!

[TheCoon71]

Its Rumored that Eddie's solo between 2:55-3:25 is part of a new song with Dave to be on the new album. I can't tell you about my source for the truth, I mean rumour. He never played this solo the same way twice during those 86' shows. So this will be a strike of luck if it happens. GREAT SOLO. I can see a song coming from this. I believe..

[sandiego5150]

@TheCoon71 I sure as hell hope you are the prognosticator of all prognosticators

[TheCoon71]

These are different clips from bootlegs mixed in with the already seen scenes from LWOAN. Dummies.

[mcquestion]

3 people aren't Good Enough...

[07989074102]

love the way he never plays the same solo, he just wings it, takes a lot of talent !

[TayzzScottBerr]

Im Still Adamant Hagar Is My Favorite Vocalist, But Majority Of My Favorite Van Halen Songs Are From Roth.

[NoRegretBand]

Spen, they shoulda hired you to do the Right Here, Right Now footage! This is a great video!

[TheGibson5150]

It's all about Eddie and Alex, Roth realised that when he pleaded to go back as his career went to shit!!!

[Soxpert]

Damn, Sam can wail live.

[robertcool160]

dude, do you happen to have "Dream" from LWAN?

[downincognito76]

great song great footage , this is the only hagar era of VH that u cld compare to the ROTH yrs

[earlymtv]

the energy on this tour is to be believed..

[marcusvan]

When I saw this concert in Porltand, Oregon Sammy said: Hello babbbbby, then Eddie started YOU REALLY GOT ME!!!! It was my first concert Oct. 26, 1986!!!! Still my all time favorite BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!! 

[PoundcakePlaysMW2]

I always thought this had a F.U.C.K. or Balance OU812 feel. Such a kick ass song.

[42lynchmob]

right on sphen5150

[disculpaqeriida2]

El track no se encuentra en el dvd de Live Whitout A Net de que concierto es ?

[jamminjohn]

Not bad but it sounds like they're rushing it in places and I'm sure that's why it was left off. Not up to Ed's standards.

[Gordfozzfoster]

@jamminjohn you nailed it. They are off on a few places. Alex falls down the stairs and lands almost on his feet. Alex is quite...drunk at this time. His timing is way off...he's early on a few and does a drum fill and comes in late....no worries...coz the right here right now live video is Alex's redemtion...he rulz on that.

[piecrust8]

There's barely any video of the actual thing. Most of it is just clips from the DVD played over the song. And the end was completely from the actual end of the show.

[MacEricG]

Anybody else irked that Good Enough and Wild Thing didn't make it to the Live Without A Net DVD?

[tylerdurden3891]

@MacEricG And what about DREAMS? That was a big hit for them at the time. I've gotta go back and check my bootlegs but I'm pretty sure they played it this night as well.

[downincognito72]

@MacEricG absolutely

[diegoalexis2007]

i want to hear the album version of this song on youtube

[maidenjuice]

My tits were in that bra (near 3:20)!

[piecrust8]

WHY DID THEY NOT RELEASE THIS?

[reedo5150]

This song was released it the first song on the 5150 cd.

[sphen5150]

@reedo5150

It was unreleased from the "Live Without A Net" dvd. This is from the same show but didn't make it on the dvd.

[CHICAGOHI]

good times

[nashvilleraidersfan]

wow amazing quality.

[grapfan1212]

David Lee Roth might be better overall but Sammy is way better live than DLR

[rvrdaleguy]

That killed me, I agree with OzzyVanHalen, don't really care who is singing, I just want to hear Ed play.

[Oldskool01Hakken]

@rvrdaleguy damn right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CookieChemical]

they should have left this on LWOAN and took out oall the keyboard (keybored) songs.

they are embarassing! (someone should have beat their ass for all that keybored crap!)

[waterburyjoe]

im a dlr fan but i did not mind sammy at all have every album i really dont care eith on who is singing just love the band

[EVHfanxz]

@OzzyVanHalen lol you must be a guitar player since you mainly care about eddie.. yeah i'm a huge van halen player :D

[rivherdog]

esta epoca de van halen fue de las mejores como tambien la de david, la era de cherone no sue tan mala como la mencionan, simplemente el nombre y la escencia de van halen no eran para la voz de cherone, para suplantar a sammy me hubiera gustado como candidao a billy idol

[Scotishirony]

Live Without a Net Van Halen Live @ New Haven Connecticut. You can by the DVD at FYE

[watergrass5150]

the good old days!

[winstonarntz]

I always wondered why it was mentioned on the cover of LWAN but never was there...

great to hear and see!

Hellllooooo bááááááábyyyyy!

[joeymvanostrand]

You did a nice job! Thanks for the post. Do you happen to have the uncut footage? I would love to see that! Thanks!

[fretfirestarter]

They could have dropped a few tunes off of lwan,like "panama" and "way older than 55" and put this on instead.I thought it rocked.

[coralbasie]

I;d rather see the uncut version. This is overproduced and almost shameless.

[marica1604]

Why does every discussion on Van Halen here have to turn into argument who was better - Sammy or Dave. I mean take them for their own merit. I prefer the Sammy era - which doesn't mean that I should put Dave down.

On another note - excellent video. I wonder why wasn't this included on the video?

[JManGuitar5150]

It's amateur video.

[marica1604]

I know mate. I meant "Good Enough" - the song.

[chris1969kw]

@marica1604 I agree 100%. I prefer the Dave era VH, because I grew up on it. I happen to love the Sammy stuff too. But even if I didn't, why put it down? There's always gonna be some element of competion in music but some take it too far.

[iamprov]

Really nice montage with the music, great job!

[5150Alan]

hella good video for home made

[double91trouble]

Helllooo Baaaaaby!!!

[SilvioSAMP]

this isn't footage from Live without a net, some of it is, but it's a mix of ametur footage from the whole tour.

[SilvioSAMP]

Sammy was a successful solo artist, so idk how ppl can say DLR is better, since his voice is worse, and you need an awesome voice to be a solo artist, he had a good voice, just look at I can't drive 55....

[RMEGG]

Fair Warning, Women and Children First, Van Halen then 5150

[JManGuitar5150]

Fair Warning was pretty good... I only like Romeo Delight off WACF though.

[JManGuitar5150]

And I also think Sammy is just as good a showman as DLR

[hockeydudeluv]

sphen5150...thank you for posting this!!!! Awesome shit!!! And whats with the singer argument again?? Shut the fuck up and listen to the music!!! Get over it, it happened!! Listen to Eddie's blitzkreig work......who cares whos singing!

[ibanez777vbk]

5150 was easy van halen best album

[JManGuitar5150]

Eh, I'd say 3rd best.

Van Halen, 1984, then 5150. Their first album was just phenomenal.

[TallonIV776V]

The only good Sammy song.

[SilvioSAMP]

what? Best of Both worlds, judgement day, Get up, Summer nights, Cabo Wabo, actually all of 5150 and for unlawful carnal knowledge and most of OU812.

[rockALLICA45]

Sammy was good for sum songs but david lee had: runnin with the devil janeys cryin unchained everybody wants sum ice cream man hot 4 teacher jump panama i'll wait and way more!!!! DAVID LEE ROTH!!!!!

[JManGuitar5150]

But David Lee Roth is just about the biggest ass hole in the world

[JManGuitar5150]

You pretend like DLR wrote those songs.

[lilrocker888]

he SUCKED SOOO BAD ARE YOU CRAZY HE MADE VAN HALEN WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stripes5150]

Gary was the BEST!!! lol

[Minklar]

so bad

[watdascrew]

okay okay,roth is the van halen singer,okay but sammy and gary were awesome,the order of who was the greatest goes the order but gary i gotta give props to ,hes great ,hes great singer,great performer and whens hes on hes on

[Minklar]

gary sounded the worst

[uutooyu]

best original post in awhile!

[petesteeler]

Sammy over David Lee hands down

[cavlovc1]

thanks for the GREAT post!

[OzzyVanHalen]

all Sammy Hagar haters need to get the fuck out

Sammy Hagar has a great voice

i love both singers but i dont really care whos singing anyway

all i care about is Eddie playing his kick ass guitar solos and riffs

[hockeydudeluv]

That is the best comment ive seen on VH's vids!!! Enough of the argument allready.....lets watch Eddie blast another riff out instead of arguing who's better...I love both versions!!! And anoydal....Sit down Waldo!!!!! you piece of shit!!! Everyone..." Avoid The Noyd"!!!

[TayzzScottBerr]

@OzzyVanHalen Totally Agreed Man!

In All Honesty I Prefer Hagar Over Roth, Roth Has A Kickass Voice But He's Stage Antics Were A Bit Far I Reckon.

[ka883r]

cool !

[miseryboy12345]

i thought this would be a failblog video. FAIL

[Adnoydal]

VH should sing a medley of "Good Enough" with "Not Enough" = "Not Good Enough"

[ImMrFeelGood]

one of my favorite hagar songs. Van Halen Rock

[darioEVH]

Bestiale!!

[phlip5150]

I have this on CD which includes this song and a number of others that didn't make it to the DVD.

[kjrunway5]

Awesome! Is there a way to find this song on mp3 or cd anywhere? Id love to listen to this blasting in the car. Great post!

[phlip5150]

You can try looking for it on line bro. I found it boot leg in this store in Wildwood NJ.

[Ewing5150]

GREAT quality. nice upload man.

[kchamz]

Love the chords, not on the original, as a transition at 3:06 to bring it back. Geez, do you think they love what they do?

[giggy5150]

I love that riff from 3:06 too, but it was in the original recording... it is the delicious rhythm section behind the solo.

[frankenstrat25]

they should have kept this wit LWAN

[nkreed66]

That 1986 Radio broadcast,(king biscuit) also had "wild thing" and the missing part of eddies guitar solo.

[pauleeroth]

It was on the sleeve's tracklisting on the original VHS video release. Shame it wasn't included, killer tune! The version from the New Haven show is floating around, that show was also broadcast on radio in '86

[jbpoole]

they also played "rock n roll" by led zeppelin...that wasnt on lwoan either. (which is probably for the best if ya ask me)

[PatVanHalen5150]

Um, Rock N Roll was on the LWAN DVD.

[ericpieper69]

Why in the hell did not put all the songs they played that night out?

[GalleyMuch]

They had video/audio problems

[ericpieper69]

Well that sucks.

[lewiske]

Great job! Can't wait to see your next postings of whatever you have from the the LWAN shows! Great Van Halen era sans Dave, but who liked Dave by then anyway? He was crazy from the heat by then. Oh, and I hadn't thought of "rack of what?!?" in ages! Thanks!

[SHUGHES1986]

Man I so remember being like 12 seeing this tour in the front row in Toronto, and my jaw dropping...wow awesome energy

[eyeonthedesign2]

'Good Enough' is definetly one of the BEST songs off the 5150 album!

[TylerDurden398]

I've heard another live version of this. Before Sammy goes into his "Hey waitress" bit, he talked to the audience for a minute or two, asking them to participate, "Rocka-what?". I noticed you edited that out here lol.

[nobodysbuying]

The words are "Rack of what?" As in the waitress's RACK. Saw it live 1985.

[kjrunway5]

OMG what a song! I wonder why they didnt put it on the dvd?? I wish i could get that song on a cd.

[travissnyder98]

Wow, i've never heard a live clip of this song. Good video too man, what other songs were left off the Lwan video?

[sphen5150]

well right now I am working on a video for "Wild Thing" they played that that night as well.

[giggy5150]

There are some other songs that were left out from LWAN... and other bits like in the middle of Best of Both Worlds... Addicted To Love.

What pissed me off was that Good Enough was printed in the song list on the back of the video cover I bought in 1987 and it wasn't on there. The cover was corrected with the DVD release.  Too bad the DVD wasn't updated instead to have all the unreleased stuff.

[satchbooggy]

probably the best van hagar tune

[mrhorn2001]

Hmmm.....that eddie solo may have been overdubbed afterwards in the studio. i notice there is no footage of it in this clip. none at all, no part of this video matched the notes, the pulls or whammy effects in the solo but the energy of the solo sounds live. we just do not know if the mix =(sweetened crowd noise) was the only thing they did to this recording after the tour. but it is a fuckin' stupendous solo and would have been hard to believe anyhow.

[artimusbill]

The poster said the audio and video are from different shows basically. Audio is said to be from a soundboard from the LwaN show(s), and the video is amateur footage from another show.

[mrhorn2001]

gotcha. thanx

[stratman1967]

This sounds amazing!First time I have heard this song live since I saw them in Memphis in March of 1986!

[EVH51510Schumi]

Gotta love the solo! Eds playing is awesome... as always. I also love how Mikes bass gives the "ground" in the guitar solo

[87sherwood]

Sounds great. Good job on the video. 5 stars.

[dietrich1972]

To the people who think this is not from the soundboard and maybe some studio trick you are simply nuts. I saw them back then and they sounded exactly this good at every show I was at. They were incredible with Sammy. Also two good friend of mine were actually at the 2 nights they taped for LWOAN and they were have told me what you see is basically what you get. Of course there is post production and mixing to get the levels right and eliminate bad feedback. Simply the best live band ever.

[showmyoface]

Man! I love VH music but that period was just GREAT! I never get tired of watching LWOAN. The energy and music were just amazing!

[derrickm5150HT]

now thats vintage Eddie Van Halen!!!

[SAMMARTINO68]

Now that's Ed playing outside the box.Guitarists will know what I'm talking about.EVH THE GUITAR GOD TO THE GUITAR GODS NUFF SAID

[johnnybeane]

Yeah this is live but the audience is mixed in to make a "perfect" sounding live recording for radio.

JB

[johnnybeane]

I used to have this on a westwood one LP from 1987.

"Wild Thing" was also on it.

JB

[artimusbill]

Sounds great, one of my favorite VH tunes. I do wonder if it is really live, but I am not complaining.

[Vraptr7]

Eddie is on absolute fire in this video..The solo is killer!! Thanks alot for the post!

[patriots60]

This song should have been on the Live Without a Net release...

[Skibble5150]

Soundboard??? I think not.

[blasty5150]

Wow this is great!! I love seeing rare shit Ive never seen befo!!! VH Rules.

[ice9001]

Man how did you get the unreleased audio it rocks and is that a Dean guitar Hagar is using . Now I know were Dime got his from lol ,great editing too mate you should have done live without a net lol it would have turned out better .

[ccy2]

Great sound! Sammy's voice is great here. ice9001 I totally agree with Eddie being on fire here (during the 5150 and 0u812 eras).

Thanks for posting this

[ice9001]

This rocks so hard really take`s me back man eddie was on fire in those days that solo is amazing , were have all the good times gone lol .

[garflog2]

YES!! Awsome! it really takes me back. I miss this being NEW music!! I guess those days are gone.

[alvanhagar]

awsome!!!
