  • holy shit you're confused.. these guys have ripped off led zep from day one; tho i love'em.. check out 'song remains the same' and you'll see what i mean.. van halen ripped a lot but they made it their own in the end... ok so don't be haten... i'm a hella fan

  • defiantly she was no good she broke my heart now ill never love again

  • the best

  • I saw them in 1981, back then people told me they were wilder in '80. What a great time! Tons of hot women in the crowd. Like the best party you could go to!

  • Damn, I'm just now discovering on YT all the covers these guys did back in the day. Awesome stuff, they should get them together and release them on an album, um, cd, whatever!

  • can't believe Bon Jovi is more popular than these guys. Despite BJ (hah... Pun there) copying VH...

  • Eddie + Dave = EPIC ROCK GODS

  • eddie shows why is is the backbone of this band,always has been and always will be.he is the true king of rock and roll.

  • EPIC................. CANT SAY ANYMORE THAN THAT.......WHAT I WOULD DO TO BE 20 YEARS OLDER AND SEEN THESE GUYS IN THEIR PRIME.... SAW THEM A FEW YEARS AGO HERE IN KC....AND WOLFGANG DID GREAT , BUT TO SEE THEM IN THIS ERA WOULD OF HAD ME MARKIN LIKE A LITTLE GIRL..... EDDIE IS A FUCKIN BEAST

  • I'd put them in the top 5 for sure.

  • ONE THUMB DOWN? CMON MAN...YOUR TUNED IN TO THE WRONG DAMN STATION AN THE TRAIN LEFT WITHOUT YA.....DAVID LEE ROTH COULDNT BE BEAT FOR SEXINESS, BADNESS AN ALL ROUND FRONTMAN IN HIS PRIME. IF YOUR LACKING THE PRIMAL INTELLECT TO GRASP THE CONCEPT OF GREAT ROCK-N-ROLL, DAWN YOUR COWBOY HAT AN GRAB YOUR PET MONKEY AN SKOOT ON OVER TO DIXIE LAND...OR WRAP YOUR HEAD IN YOUR MOMS NYLONS, LEARN SOME RYME SCHEMES...AN HEAD BACK TO HARLEM

  • WOW!

  • These are the best days of VH. Awesome footage!

  • This here is some killer Halen!

  • bad ass

  • Ed's solo on this song just slays.

  • back when they were kool.....best band around....have the lp this is on original bought the year released!!!!

  • Best & probably worst gigs I ever saw were Van Halen. Newcastle City Hall '79, they rocked all their great songs; two albums worth at that time, destroyed the place and looked like they enjoyed every minute of it, just fucking awesome. One year later; same place, delayed getting started, seemed like DLR & EVH were stoned D, Hyper, forgetting words and E couldn't be arsed, just sat around loads to play. Would love to see Van Halen play in the UK again sometime soon coz they're still the muts nuts

  • Now only the rhythm section still sounds the same. Dave is either too old or worn out to sound the same. Ed's tone has changed for the worse. Here, everything sounds so pristine. The 1984 tour was a great show, but the music was almost secondary. This is the way Van Halen should sound. The music mattered here. The notes mattered, even though this is one of my least favorite VH songs. The videos from this tour are the best they ever did. Sammy did better albums though.

  • @xj14y dude, totally agree dlr was awesome with them in the early days , theres just no going back unfortunately, just wish there was some more of this footage its like vh crack its so fkn awesome

  • @xj14y Sammy did better albums...LOL...Don't try to talk like you know music and end with something so F#*#*ed up...So you would pick a Sammy album over any Dave albums....Crack Kills my friend...

  • ed's solo here is beyond compare. NOBODY could do that shit back then, and probably only a handful could pretend to do it now. He came up with it don't forget. So drink your milk, ladies - you will never see the like of EVH again.

  • I was 14 years old back then with a huge crush on Dave. I even grabbed his fur boot on stage. He ended up kicking another girl who wouldn't let go of his boot... I touched his boot!! AAAHHH!!

  • Dave's voice was so much better in 78-81. Started losing his voice around 82. Too much jungle Tarzan yelps? Too much coke? Who knows?

  • Way too much coke and pole smoking!

    NIGGA SMOKE A POLE, FOO !

  • my son the Noyd, is bi polar, and has been since he was ass raped by 12 albino geico's on a domino's pizza commercial shoot, please ignore him , like we do as his used to be family. EVH is the King of all musicians!

  • Papa Doyle from Slingblade is here to defend the family honor, as if Ed gave a flying shit about his ass-kissing Eds celebrity anus under a new nic. Yep. He's adopted a new nic to honor and defend Ed, who could give a shit.

    Check out Doyles stunning Ed-like live performance on Sling Blade Doyle Loses It here on youtube

  • Hey ..i think i see Adnoydal in the front row, sucking about 4 cocks at once!!! he is talented!!!! This is simply the most influential rock band of alltime!!! Eddie....the Birth of a King!!! VH Rules all rock arena's!!

  • i see dudelvr onstage trying to suck 4 coks up there but security hauls his (as he calls them) nigger-hating ass away.

  • awesome vid tnx bro

  • Van Halen is still the undisputed best band in rock-n-roll

  • This version is so choice!

  • ahhhh halen in its prime. look at the crowd reaction, totally hypnotized. halen was on the way to talking the world over!!!

  • WHOA! THIS is the good stuff !! Van Halen at their undeniable primal prime !! Back in 1979, Van Halen was like ......well,...I cant think of any comparison.They were a breath of fresh air amongst the absolute crap that was being played (Debbie Boone,KC & SSB,Bee Gee's, etc...) Van Halen brought hard rock back into mainstream!! God bless them boys !!

  • @hazor777 totally agree! this cover is down-right KICK ASSS!!!! they were at their best then...OK now, but magic in every way then!

  • I heard them live a while ago, Eddie's voice sounds pretty crappy now and lots of times he forgets notes and stuff on his guitar but this great video is a reminder that back in 70's and 80's this was one of the greatest bands of all times!!

  • If your sound card has a "what you hear" setting, some of them will allow you to record whatever is coming through your speakers and save it as an mp3 file.

  • will anyone tell me how 2 burn a audio cd of these live videos?

  • We'll never see another time in rock like this...

  • David Lee Roth has THE best voice in Rock and Roll !! ROTH RULEZ !!

  • is there a band better than van halen at remaking a song when they do it i think not...also love the intro to this song it's friggin wicked sorry linda ronstadt lol

  • Where does one go and FIND THIS STUFF? Is there like a freakin site that just has all this shi@ in a VAULT???

  • he watches VH dvd's Sometimes I sit watching him...he's 1 and I laugh because he pounds the table while dancing like only a 1 yr old can. I sit there and wonder...do I just force VH down his throat or wait till he's like 12 and explain who Van Halen is and what they did to the music world?

  • The guitar tone is just ..... nasty. Killer

  • thanks dude...he's named after the best band EVER!!! thanks again!

  • I may get bashed for this, but my 1 year olds name is Halen...and this is why!!!

  • bashed for what??.. being fuckin awesome!!!..

  • dude naming your son halen is awesome lol. whoever bashes you for that is dumb.

    idk i might name my son halen too lol

  • great clip..didn't know there was a promo..

  • some great, great days......thanks for the memory

  • WOW you uploaded this on my B-day

    amazing song

  • Unbelievable.....this time of year reminds me of when i went to izod last year and Stables in Los Angeles. Ive never been happier or drunk as.!!! Great American hospitality on the flight, before the gig in the car park and during the gig. The best country and band equals, perfection. Turn it up and than God for VAN HALEN!

  • This version kills Linda Ronstadts version.I saw them last November and they were amazing.

  • I never knew that Van halen had a promo video for this tune!!!! Thanks MTV for not playing it!!!!!

  • When they were GODS!!! Can't believe I never saw that clip - I thought I had them all. Thanks a million for posting!!!

  • Eddie's tone on VHII was just too big to contain on an album..

  • They ripped it up back in the beginnng.

  • Imagine if Van Halen had formed in the late 60's, they would've been up there with the Zeppelins and Jimi Hendrixes and Stones

  • they still are up there with zepp and all, i say above

  • The Original Wiz Kid of Guitar.

  • Put Van Halen and Linda Ronstadt together,they make an ass-kicking quintet. Ronstadt's original recording is just too subtle.

  • Linda Ronstadt's version is excellent, and features some very cool guitar work. Sure, you can say it's "pop", but I like it much better than Van Halen's. Yes, I'm a big admirer of VH, and yes, I'm serious!

    Okay. Now pelt me.

  • Rock to me max!Van Halen Rocks!

  • 1979 world tour would've been kool to see. cuz van halen now is.....sad. :(

  • Just saw them and they kicked ass. Sorry.

  • lol...DLR isnt the only one in VH that can sing. has anyone noticed the backup vocals to be amazing countless times.

  • Love the backup vocals. One of the secrets of their successful. GRANDE VAN HALEN!!!

  • VH predicting today's music

  • great video - cheers for uploading this, its good to see early vh stuff

  • Yah, I used to have a gorgeous head of hair too

  • Not bad for a backyard bar band from Pasadena.

  • you must like bubblegum rock like Poison...or Nsync

  • Both suck. VAN HALEN REIGNS SUMPREME!

  • lol

  • the best rock band ever!!!
