Van Halen Live 2007 Portland, OR Eddie's Solo Eruption

[cobias]

sucked.

[timothyj67]

Eddie seems to have more fun with the crowd then in Seattle!!!

[todd6138]

put a shirt on

[JOSHBENNETUBITCH]

I was there one of the best memories I have. Sad thing is I was introduced to this band through my dad and after seeing this show I listened to their whole discography. Meaning I didn't know the whole catalogue of songs until after I had already seen them. But I am still a van halen fan til death, VAN HALEN RULES 1978 til the year 5000

[Zoso692]

wow! i was there, 12/1/07. A night to remember. I was sitting maybe three rows behind this guy. Fucking amazing.

[Denapz]

he should be embarrassed.  eddie is a shell of the player he used to be.

[xxEVH5150xx]

He's not as great as he used to be, but he'll always be good. Nothing to be ashamed of...

[Denapz]

they should have dave play again, like back in the diver down and van halen 1 days. he's a pretty underrated guitar player.

[xxEVH5150xx]

Yeah. Dave played the acoustics to Ice Cream Man in Portland, but I think he did everywhere, and he told a funny story about beer in the back of an ice cream truck...

[gibsondude123]

I WAS THERE!

[vanhalen12107]

It was amazing!

[gmick49]

I was there. Awesome. Nuff said

[Spike1882]

i was at that concert in portland he rocked man so awesome

[metalfiend18]

For hardcore fans of course it will be great.

but for people who actually listen to stuff other then the crap everyone knows about they arent that great.

Im guessing Paul Gilbert isnt in your list of guitarists you actually know of he alone can kick Eddies ass.

[blasty5150]

Who? Nigga please!!Stop speaking for " everyone" u sound like a retard. ask "anyone" who paul gilbert is and theyll say Who? Now get back under pauls desk and wipe that shit off your chin. Loser.

[metalfiend18]

Maybe you should reread what i wrote.I know not alot of people around here would know who Paul Gilbert is cause everyone around here is too busy humping the MTV executives to guide on the road to what they think is ROCK or METAL your stuck in the mainstream and your only going to know about the popular stuff listen to other stuff that you dont hear off MTV and you will know what im talking about till then stop pretending to be black and shut up

[Brekefast]

Metalfiend18 dont know shit. Eddie is the best. I was there and I got third tier seats; Worst in the house! the show still kicked ass tho.

[metalfiend18]

Im sure it was a neat show though so congrats,but it couldnt have beaten the Heaven and Hell Reunion Tour

[kudochop]

Well, actually it did. AND... may you eat some "hot pockets" while eating a fart. you turd face.

[metalfiend18]

Im curious how much the tickets were i saw them on sale for illinois and its was 150 for front row or floor seats alot of money for a mediocre band and the only band being there.

And sorry,but Eddie not only is Matched,but has been conquered by many others whether their from his time or a few years later,but there are several others then put him to shame.

[kudochop]

This was filmed on a cell phone you idiot

[metalfiend18]

Wow the quality of the sound is terrible and Eddie is a really overrated guitarist and so is that solo,but dont worry i will give them their dews and my respect whether i like them or not.

[GuItArKiKsAsS]

i was at this concert your lucky you got front row

[fancyfrenchy]

This dude rocked San Jose at the HP LAST WEEK IT WAS A SOLD OUT SHOW....

[johnnybeane]

I was there too!

JB

[Vandekamps01]

Quality Quality stuff. Just killed them. Ripped into the crowd and blew there minds. Eddie continues to show the world 30 years later why he's unmatched. Others before him where great indeed. Eddie though will always be considered the modern master player, other's can be measured to his standards. Few if any will ever come close. Live or studio equally pure raw genius.

[lolZEPPELINrules]

the greatest guitar player in history

his solo that i saw a few weeks before this one was even better cathedral blows my mind

[Skullcrusher69]

heh, that drumstick reminds me of Jimmy Page's performance at Madison Square Garden. He sort of did the same thing with a violin bow

[kudochop]

Exactly!!!!!!!

[cecil1knight]

I was at this concert :) It was the best concert I've ever been to!

[rlholo]

Yeah - they took names, kicked a**, and laid the place to waste. People coming out of the Garden (The Rose Garden - Portland's Arena) were screaming and shouting and raising the horns for two blocks in every direction. It was surreal - VH is as sharp now as they have ever been. I can't wait for the new album!!

[Eterna7]

Wow! That's new-old Eddie!

[realrocker777]

He's really stepped up to being classic EVH during the last couple weeks. He wasn't like this prior to 11/22 in San Diego. Great stuff and great change Ed!

[AlienRiff]

evh can do anything he's the man!!

[firebird5150]

thank you for posting this ive been bragging to everyone about the drumstick thing and no one beleives it ha ha thanks for posting now im not an idiot trying to explain it

[MACKMAN61]

Wow..........thanks from Corvallis

[Switchman73]

raddest show ever

[Iethompson]

My wife and I were at this show...LOVED IT!!!!. The vh boys were in full swing.I lost my voice cheering the whole time,hope they come back...

[kudochop]

another thing, this crowd was WAY into the show... more than I've heard on any of the other shows, with the exception of maybe MSG

[kudochop]

This solo was actually a few minutes longer, and played 316 first with some really spins on it.... the drum stick thing was cool, that's pretty rare to see the from EVH!

[ml71tube]

Take a look at Part 1 and you will see Panama, 316, etc.

[kudochop]

Ah, awesome thanks!

[QETVAN]

Seems like each concert Eddie gets better and better after his rehab. They all are coming together sounds great...

[BENCHPRESSMAN]

thanks for the video

[EddieVanHalen1984]

FUckin great concert Unforgettable

[sharonspage]

Hey were you in row 4 with me? If so please reply... I could hear myself and my husband yelling. It was a fantastic concert! Thanks for taking such a rockin video!

[RCPMMaryland]

That was smokin....to see Ed in bad shape see any 2004 clip

[AwesomePossum5]

I was there! That was awesome when he picked up the drum stick!!!

[RPHurdler389]

That was crazy! I was there too, and thought "What is he doing?" And then, woah!

[ekbworldwide]

Eddie isn't quite all the way there.

Oh well.

[gr8skyr]

Buddy,

I was there and believe me, he was all the way there for the 2+ hour show they put on in Portland that night. Eddie, Alex, David and Wolfie fucking kicked serious ass that night. And I heard them live back in 1980. And this show was nothing less than incredible. Were you "there"?

[EddieVanHalen1984]

It was fucking amazing absolutely great I will never ever forget it they were SUPERB.
