I had a bootleg of this DVD and I remember playing this video for my friends back in the early 80s and telling them THIS is how you play guitar, not Van Halen. There is a real aggression here. Plus there is great construction to this solo. It isn't just flash on top of flash...all the sections work incredibly well together. Always been a favorite of mine.
What luck we have that some of these moments were caught on video. I still remember hearing his guitar echoing through the arena's on that tour and how he mesmerized everyone with his energy and intensity -- even some of the playfulness (like in Summeertime Blues, the opening song for this show). Thanks for posting joshuarowe!
