  • pure magic, this song, Eddie's solo, it's all good

  • such a great clip awsome

  • Pena que nao temos uma música à altura para a Esquadrilha da Fumaça!!

  • i love it

  • Boy this deserves a huge thumbs up..

  • When Mtv started airing this, I remember how they used a different format for the credits. Instead of listing Artist/"Title"/Album/Label as usual from top to bottom, they had "Dreams" at the top in quotes, then "40th Anniversary of the Blue Angels" etc. on the next line, and near the bottom "Music Courtesy of Van Halen". I got into arguments with my little brother about this, who at the time insisted the BAND name was "Dreams" because it was on the top line where the artist name usually goes!

  • Never miss a Blue Angels Show when they come to Texas!

  • whoever disliked this video is a dick!

  • it's like a bunch of Thundercrackers!

  • Older video, but rivals the best. Awesome!

  • Me and my dad love this song :3

  • Awesome!

  • never seen The Blue Angels but would love to,I have seen some great air shows but seeing The Blue Angels would be awesome.

  • I remember seeing them with my own eyes when I was younger this brings back memories.

  • love the song and the video. i want to be a test pilot for the US Air Force. those are truly great pilots in those planes!

  • this song and video makes me cry like a baby

  • Amazing........just amazing.....

  • First time I've seen this, and just found out that My brother was in this video, he was a crew chief for plane #4, and is in the very first camera shot, Amazing !

  • @volleyballdoug: That's cool! My Brother is in there too! He's the Crew Chief for the Number 2 Plane, Jeff Taylor! Obviously my Brother knows your Brother. Small World!

  • @volleyballdoug Really??!! Oh that's awsome!! What lucky are you booth!! Congrats!! :D

  • @volleyballdoug I saw the Thunderbirds perform several years ago and got to meet one of the crew chiefs. I told him what my grandfather (a WWII B-24 bomber pilot) always told me: "A pilot is only as good as his ground crew." His reply: "Yep, that's why the Thunderbirds have the best pilots in the world!" Hats off to your brother and his crew...the peeps who own #4 eighty percent of the time! \m/ \m/

  • power ranger uuuuurruuuuuuulllllll

  • This song in itself makes me feel like I'm flying.

  • @servantlol i'm with u bro ........Dreams & Where Eagels Fly makes me wanna go flying right now lol

  • aww yea power rangers :)

  • yep Go Navy!

  • inspiring to say the least!

  • i love the video. i don't like a few of these pilots that think they are, somehow, on a higher level of thinking than i am. i posted some comments on some of these blue angels videos and they wasted time to send me a message, talking to me like i am a 12 year old. no professionalism. i'm not a spell geek, i majored in EE from UNCC. i'm ex. navy and a failed seal.

  • The best PILOTS are in the NAVY!!!!!

  • Its amazing how manuevrable the A-4 was, definetly to top, or even equial this plane is a good challenge, flying this aircraft must have been the best experience in the world, the ultimate adrenaline rush, would have been great if they would have kept making this airplane with that manouvreability, a newer more powerfull engine, updated avionics, some radar absorbent ram paint, carrying new payload, imagine what could it do in modern warfare scenarios, a plane they shouldv only updated

  • These A4's send me every time.

  • i think i'am 750,000 of the views...... takes my breath everytime

  • They should really pop from hornets to f22 raptors or f35s

  • this song and video is so america

  • SAMMY HAGAR has a amazing voice,and this one of my van halen videos,and songs....

  • These are the Blue Angels as I remember them in the '70s and '80s. When our new XO came onboard the America in '82 he was fresh off a tour as skipper and flight leader of the Blues. He brought films to show on the ship's TV.

    Retired CATCC man (Carrier Air Traffic Control Center)

  • Love it..............WOW!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • Goose bumps here too... brings back many a memory from my youth... I was fortunate enough to see the Blues several times when they flew the Scooter, and to this day I've yet to see a better large-team demo.

    Fade to Black...

  • ok this is the mcdonnel douglas a-4 SkyHawk then they went to the McDonnel Douglas F-4 Phantom then the Boeing F/A-18A/D Hornets

  • I've always thought this was such a perfect melding of song and video. Also always been curious about the story of how it came to be; good for Van Halen for supporting our military at a time (mid 80's) when it wasn't always so popular.

  • how could anyone dislike this

  • yes, the best , astounding choice for songs, I was in Marines @ Airstation El Toro, and saw these up close, and this song just brings it all together, for what you experience watching them perform

  • 22 people didnt make the blue angels

  • They wrote this song for the Blue Angels, feel the blast.

  • I miss the A4's

  • goose bumps every time

  • Rip Goose, you were a great piano player.

  • Can some one tell me in plain English what aircraft they fly here. I'm A girl. lol.

  • @CASEBOLT100 They are flying in Douglas A-4F Skyhawk II

  • @CASEBOLT100 that is a mcdonell douglas A4 SKYHAWK, they last flew this plane in 1986. they now fly the F/A18 HORNET.

  • @CASEBOLT100

    The Blue Angels were flying the Douglas A-4F Skyhawk.

  • @CASEBOLT100...A4 Skyhawk...was a US Navy and Marine Corps attack aircraft from the 1950s to the late 1980s if you want to wikipedia it just search for A4 Skyhawk....great airplane

  • Rock-n-roll & a tribute to the world's peacekeeper's: the US military. What a video !!!

  • This is what America is about. Rock-n-roll & the greatest fighting force in the history of mankind: The United States military men & women !!

  • Blue Angels -> Sammy Hagar = EPIC

  • The part in the song that starts "So baby dry(dun dun dun dun) your eyes.." Gives me goose bumps EVERY time!

  • Sammy Hagar singing on top of the plane while they're doing aerobatics would've been awesome.

  • @boogernights And EVH playing a killer guitar solo on the wing of the plane.

  • i grew up with this song , n now i'm currently wrk on F 18 super hornet,E,F model n proudly wow, this song doesbring me alots memory...............

  • #1 Band 

  • The best of the best!!  Mr BlueAngel11

  • Minha infancia doi o Van Halen,pr causa do meu pai

  • Anyone else get chills watching this? :)

  • Beaucoup de souvenirs. Thank you

  • I wish I could fly a 1/4 as well as the Blue Angels

  • McCain crashed his A-4 in the Vietnam--its a good thing he left the Navy because the BLUE ANGELS are excellent combat aviators!

  • McCain crashed his A-4 in the Vietnam--its a good thing he left the Navy because the BLUE ANGELS are excellent aviators!

  • @paleo114 I think his plane being hit by enemy fire had something to do with it crashing. You can be the world's best dogfighter and get mashed by SAMs or AAA.

  • I grew up watching this era of The Blue Angels both in Fla and Ca bases great shows every day they were training and in 76 in Fla crazy good show

    God Bless America!

  • Power Rangers!?!?!?!?!

    BULK AND SKULL!!!!!!!!!

  • Nice song but the video is freakin'  spectacular. One of the best vids I've seen.

  • Military Pilots are some of the best aviators in the world...

  • a spectacular voice, music, band etc, there are no words, i just want pull and pull

  • i would love to be in the seat of one of them awesome motor scooters shooting down the enemy defending my country !!!!!!

  • A-4F Skyhawks changed to FA 18's in late 86.

  • I saw this at school (Year 10, 1985) when a radio station visited the school to entertain us. And for that I love this song, video and Van Halen in general, I own their greatest hits CD now.

  • My repeat button just got bombed

  • @Seeps, Mav deserved every bit of it, he got smoked by a ZX9 fer jiminies sakes!

  • This, Right Now, and Why Can't This Be Love are the only good Van Hagar songs. Gotta giv em' credit.

  • @CKSeeps: Maverick wasn't a Blue Angel and the Blues don't have RIOs anyway. The crash was a result of a flat-spin caused by asymetrical thrust due to the flame-out of their F-14's #1 engine. The Blues never flew F-14s,either. A-4 Skyhawks are single-engine, so no asymetical thrust from a flame-out. The only twin-engined, two-seat fighters the Blues flew was the F-4 Phantom II. Also the A-4's not a fighter, it's an attack-bird. That said, I know you were just kidding, too...

  • I keep dreaming that its me that playing drums

  • anyone know where i can find the full version of this video? I watched it from a VHS i bought back in 2001...i lost it

  • hell yessss our solders are comming home finaly we all owe them alot of respect and Loyalty they put thier asses on the line to protect us now we all should return the favor when ya see a solder tellem they did a hellave a job well done THANK YOU armed forces of the USA

  • Dreams do come true, just reach for the stars and follow them. I LOVE YOU Babydoll, someday MY dream (you) will come true!!

  • 20 dislikes...I have nothing left to say Must be the Sammy haters \m/

  • 20 people crashed and burned

  • Simply amazing!

  • I loved Sammy Hagar's Van Halen, specially this song/vid!!!!..... lyrics brings your mind out the heaven!!.... ;)....

  • these guys can fly 6 ft beside each other but goose and maverick crash from jet wash?

  • @CKSeeps7 They may have been flying that close together, but they can get away with that as they are side by side. When you fly through the jet wash of another plane, you are going to stall at least one engine, and ultimately crash the plane. Top Gun = Exhibit A.

  • @jomaree1 Well the A model F-14 had serious compressor stall issues. Killed many pilots.

  • @CKSeeps7 18 inches apart now!!

  • hey, you have to get on with your life. your only here for a short time. i love VH.

  • I like the look of the A-4s alot better than the f-18s ive sewn A-4s in flight and they always look as of they are going faster than f-18s (even though they cant) thats just my opinion though

  • awesome!!!

  • the blue angles design looks cooler on the F-18

  • i feel the 80s coming out of this video

  • @mudkipzz321 that's where i heard this for the first time

  • wow A4's... haven't seen a video of them flying those in quite some time.

  • the US navy.

  • i'm here.

  • 20 dislikes love the Thunderbirds

  • probably one of vh's best songs!!!

  • Precision, precision for those guys.

  • Like apple pie and ice cream, Blue Angels and this song are great together. And just as American

  • :-)

  • Oh my gosh...I have this on VHS at home! :O

    It futures, if I can remember right, F-16s and Blue Angels. My mom was in the Air Force and I think that's how she got it. But this is cool even though I'm more of a fan of the F-16s :P

  • I don't know if it's already been posted but this was the song that a lot of combat pilots listened to during Operation Desert Storm to get pumped up for their missions. That's quite an honor.

  • awesome song and one of the coolest videos ever, i guess 20 people just don't get it!

  • This song still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

  • Those are A4's not phantoms

  • awesome comment. I think there is a disney cartoon about a failed seal.

    

  • One of my favorite songs & this video is so amazing & breathtaking!

  • i joined the US navy in 86 too. this is not why i joined, though. i am a failed seal. it took me 15 years to get over that. that was a long time. now, i just don't give a care what anyone else does, they are nothing but high school punks. a lot of talk, but no walk.

    sorry, i did not want to interupt this great piece of music. but i can say what i want, when i want to, i still have that privaledge. i can't spell worth a damn, but you all understand what i type.

  • @TheTheratfarmer you only spelt priviledge wrong but hey at least you kept your nose clean

  • @TheTheratfarmer Hey old man. You were a SEAL, only few can do this. Thank you for your service.

  • @TheTheratfarmer

    Look bro you served....not making the seals is nothing to be ashamed of. On any team there are better,stronger athletes BUT the little guy just stole home....God bless you and give you peace. I for one THANK you for doing what you could.

  • @TheTheratfarmer

    You have to do what makes you happy.

  • @TheTheratfarmer I hear you. I joined the Navy in 2000 and just recently got out as an AT1. Back when I was just a buck Airman and PC, I earned a backseat ride over Fallon Nevada in an F-14B when I was in VF-103, the Jolly Rogers. This song was in my head almost the whole time and no matter what my skipper tried to do, I wouldn't vomit! It was an experience I'll never forget and this song made the memory stick!

  • @TheTheratfarmer Well my son joined after high school, and he saved the world in a P3...Some people just need to find what they are best at, and most of these pilots have training before they enter into the the Navy. This profession is very demanding, and precise skills are required to perform these acrobatic flights. You should support them and lend them any of your expertise from your service or else you are still a failure.

  • One of the best songs from Van Halen :)

  • FLIGHT RANGERS.....LOVE THE SONG & VIDEO CHOICE USED..... PUTTING DREAMS TO MAGNIFICENT MANIFESTATIONS......

  • I love the song and the video choice used..... I would really love to see some of these great pilots doing their flight performances live.... they're so good..... THUMBS UP to the perfect song used because after all the training, it is really a dream manifesting with magnificent skills here.....

  • dude,that is where i got this song from,lol!!

  • awesome vid for an awesome song!

  • The 80s RULED!

  • I'd LOVE to see a great modern band do the same video with the current Blue Angels - Super Hornets...Hell yeah!..

  • they should've played this during the 10 yr aniversary of 9/11 :(

  • Espetacular!

    É de arrepiar!

  • this is relax time.

  • I remember this song from Saved By The Bell on the beach during their summer vacation... Love it...

  • its good to see my tax dollars going to support some of the best pilots in the world...great video and yes,,, it is the reason i joined the navy in 86...

  • @93CFD AMen to that brother Sempre Fi

  • Always loved this song. The skyhawks they are flying were some badass little scooters. Smallest plane ever certified to carry a tactical nuke.

  • I saw one of these older BA planes on a used plane lot. The salesman seemed pretty sleazy, so i passed on it.

  • I just went to the blue angels show in Lincoln NE and they had one of the f-4 phantoms you guys saw, but it was only the front end! Now days they use F/A-18 hornets which are way cooler.

  • I love the formation landing at the end, they don't do that anymore!

  • This is sooooo Cool ~ Thank you for uploading this for us darkman7314

  • 18 people r def

  • my two favorite things van halen and planes

  • After watching this, I now wanna hop up into the cockpit of one of these badboy jets and head for the friendly skies. I've actually never flown one..... but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night.

  • Maybe not the cool factor of a fighter, but A-4 was a workhorse over Viet Nam and well suited to aerobatics. Note it's use as the nimble opposition aircraft at Top Gun for many years... More than a few fighter jocks were "smoked" by a Scooter.

  • 4:12 mean raff favorite part

    

  • I don’t care what anyone said about this song it still one my favorites.

  • Go Navy. We have more planes than the Air Force. Navy Seals, oh the Corps is a part of the Navy too, USMC=Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. I still love them though. In a time of declared war by congress, We own the puddle jumping U.S. Coast Guard. Just pickin, I love you guys too.

  • were just in cleveland for the holiday, great video

  • Lighters up!

  • I love this song it sounds more 80s 2 me & I don't care what anybody say.

  • Superb!....Excelent......and all of that...cheers ma friend!.......Joao

  • Gotta love the old A-4's.

  • The best vidio-EVER

  • @garebear1015 agreed. best video EVER. ive killed a few sets of speakers lol. BUT play it LOUD lol

  • @garebear1015

    agree 100%

  • Gives me goosebumps every time.

  • i just watched MMPR for the first time in like 8 or 9 years, it brought back so many memories and everytime i listen to this song it reminds me of those memories

  • 9/11 song.

  • is there a love button??? if there was, ed's gutair would be the symbol of the button =)

  • we'll get higher and higher streight up we'll climb...higher and higher who knows what will find.

  • @mudkipzz321 another reason why i searched for this song

  • now these are the blue angels that i grew up with...

  • Love van Helen!!!!!!!!!

  • The most beautiful video for a most beautiful song :')

  • Amazing song and video...

  • I have always loved this song and video since it first aired, and even though I am a Marine they Navy Blue Angels never cease to amaze me just like Van Halen.

  • phantoms used a lot of fuel. they had the power though, at that time.

  • I'm retired Navy and had the pleasure to work with both Phantoms and Hornets. Phantoms are waaaay cooler, but Hornets are better for the maintenance man. Phantoms were like the Harley's of the sky, Hornets. . .Crotch Rockets.

  • @theratfarmer Those aren't Phantoms.

  • God bless you all! Thank you for everything you do!

  • good bless our hero's

  • I get goosebumps watching this :)
