@TheCaitiCat Dude, I am quite aware of what "Eruption" is. I listed this as the introduction to the concert, not the introduction to "You Really Got Me" -- that just happened to be the first song they played.
I saw them in December 2008, and it was an awesome show. I got the chills when Eddie was doing random dive bombs before the curtain dropped. Van Halen is awesome.
Fellow UTubers...I am a huge VanHalen fan...can anyone recommend other guitarists other than Hendrix, Slash, Stevie Stevens, Stanley Clark, Prince, Santana worth checking out? Thanks!
They are amazing, i remember in Raleigh when the lights went off and eddie and alex started that shredding before the rest of the band. I was stoked hearing that amazing guitar tone that ive heard on album after album and anticipating seeing EVH. I could have died right there
I agree, not the reunion. More like Van Halen IV. But dude, you can't make judgements unless you were at one of the concerts, particularly the ones later in the tour. This tour fucking rocked.
0.32 Was that Ecstasy of Gold playing over the house PA speakers right before the lights went off? LOL!

the introduction is probably the instrumental song "eruption" from the debut album with the same name as the band.

the only better intro i've ever seen, and probably the best out there, is KISS's intro. Lol no doubt van halen is amazing though
