Van Halen Top Of the World 1991 LIVE video ULTRA RARE!

[dpilchy1]

Great video! Back when music was fun

[MeWiseMagik]

Great music, performance and video!!

[tl124]

Best Sammy era VH vid! Awesome! Wish I could have been there!

[Pramsdell1]

That was the greatest concert I ever saw. Hot. 100 degrees and I couldn't hear right for a week.

[BuddyT]

Eddie, You will once again want to play these great songs and be friends with Sammy again if for nothing else than to jam out some "goosebumping" music. Are you really getting that with Dave?

[eyvhonne2273]

one of my favorite song...

[zoomzoomjim]

Filmed at CalExpo, Sacramento, California. I was there

[barlowe5150]

@zoomzoomjim oh yea I was there too!!

[keeneglass]

[cris931609]

VH IS AMAZING

[EMD645E]

This performance may have been years ago, but it doesn't matter. It still gives me goose bumps.

[therelease2006]

Chissà cosa si prova in cima al mondo;)

[EMD645E]

This period in time was the absolute best time for Van Halen fans. In my opinion the F.U.C.K. album and tour was the very top for the Van Halen sound. All the members of the band seemed to be in great shape and they all seemed happy.

[evander5150]

awesome, one of their best performances, and the audio is really cool! thanks for the upload!

=V= EVER !

[depechefan20001]

another piece of the indestructable wall of van halen you guys rock live on guys live on forever



[EMD645E]

1991-1996 was the best years for VH in my opinion. 20 years after this song was released and I first heard it it still gives me goose bumps.

[psychoravens]

I saw this same tour when they came to Columbia,Maryland way back then..I know everybody with our crew was toasted..Motley Crew opened for these guys..an epic concert..a lot of screamin' smokin' n pukin' going on..ah the good ol' days

[nissansentraglx]

VH at their peak with Sammy. FUCK was their best Sammy album.

[memphistennisrat]

@nissansentraglx What you said . . . .

[CAJET6]

[josephalphin]

one of the best VH songs

[MDmiller31]

Man I Freakin Love this video!!! Its one of my fav Van Halen videos!! Seriously I found it two years ago on your channel and still watch it like every week. How did u get it?? Thanks for this video thats given me eternal enjoyment!!!!!

[KlocoH]

[cessnafan100]

Reminds me of high school - hot summer nights and great Van Halen songs. I am getting old.

[mamaschristmasbunny]

Van Halen, baby! Woo! Wee!

[MrElectric2005]

Van Halen is the S#!T, Yeeaahh!

[EdwardVanHalen]

this song is sick as fuck. Though this isn't the most complicated song, the rhythm guitar is phenomenal and the solo is neat too. Great song

[sandinsheets]

I just saw Sammy on July 3rd. What a great show. He did this song and 17 others. He's still rocking and if you want to go home happy go see Sammy.

[03kenseth]

awesome tune...Thanks Sammy

[rpb2654]

Wow... I remember this show like it was yesterday... the old Cal Expo amphitheater... they did three takes and the crowd was up for each... it was Van Halen, and it rocked!!! They closed alot of the shows that tour covering "Rockin' in the Free World" and it was freakin off the charts!!! I think sometimes we forget how great those guys were together. Thanks for posting.

[dday6645]

The memories, oh the memories. I saw VH 11 times with Hagar! I love VH!!!

[HanBaby82]

Glorious Song. When America was Great. Long live Eddie. Long live Montrose. Long live Hagar

[eeprete]

I remember this tour like it was yesterday. Awesome tour, one of the best. great video.

[lg678]

The bar video song is "when it's love"

[tangofoxtrot481]

Does anybody know the name of that Van Halen video (w/ Sammy) where the band is in a night club/bar after closing and a bartender is cleaning up? (It's one of their 'love' rock songs)

[vhlvr]

When It's Love

[cgbourke5150]

@tangofoxtrot481 Love comes walkin in

[jameswalshe09]

just pure brilliance i just wish there was still bands like this today instead of this new crap that everyone is listning to

[vigo894]

Rock and rool, and music in general started to go downhill in the early Nineties. Though, I have hope that the next decade will bring a rebirth in rock music. Either that, or we find a DeLorean, and go back to the Eighties.

[AbenteuerDauerfeuer1]

lalz XD

[03kenseth]

Man i love this song. Sammy can really hit those notes like only he can

[johnnybeane]

i recorded this on vhs the day it was first on mtv.

they premiered both versions that day. also i just saw they also made another version using the dallas free show footage. using this same audio. look in my favorites, i just book marked it.

[hammerheadshark03]

i was there with dave front row sacramento awesome concert eddie is the GREATEST...alice in chains opened...eddie played the national athem before the band hit the stage....

[vanhalenkid]

Dave wasn't there, it was Sammy

[Rockbignole]

Thanks for posting it. Great times!!

[Tommydey]

My favorite sammy hagar era VH song.

[nathantw]

The audio may not be the best but it gets the job done. I went to the Cow Palace show. Man it was awesome.

[jroundy1649]

Thanks for posting....I wish the audio didn't sound like a low bit rate mp3.

[jefflongest]

i was at this concert too! correct me if i'm wrong but the entire video was filmed at the sacto, ca cal expo show or is this multiple shows? this was my first 'real' concert as a senior in hs and already being a 'chains' fan, where do you go from that point?

[HALEMAIDEN]

Yes it was one night, i was 23, it was my 2nd VH 3rd AC ..... remember when lane banged the sex doll on stage.

[HALEMAIDEN]

i was at this show what a great night alice

in chains opened

[cgbourke5150]

where was this? I was at the costa mesa show on September 11, 1991. Got the pictures from and some guitar pics. Great show, indeed.

[Diegond23]

Yeeeahhh, Sammy is great! Chickenfoot is awesome too

[bigdawg030]

i dont know why he hates it...its not the hardest song he has to play infact its kinda simple but fun to play on guitar one of my Fav's from the Hagar Era

[maplemanz]

A kickass song!!

[StormNorm1]

Eddie you may have hated it but we LOVE it.

[ugforthewin]

One day baby, we'll be standing on top, of the world. <3

[londonsunao]

this video gives me the feeling of what it's like when everything is just....PERFECT

[holle92]

me to :)

i just feel sooo damm good while listening to this

[jasiek5150]

i just get goosebumps lol

[pattybraga70]

Amen!!!

[mountainDreamer]

And do you believe I just read an interview where Eddie said he didnt like this song, and HE wrote it! Everyone else loved it, so he said whatever. LOL Awesome tune Eddie. Dont stop writing these "awful" songs!

[TwilightDrop]

HA HA HA .. Thats why I am here too!!.. I read the same article.. not sure where you got your source from, but I got mine on AOL news.. This song rocks, but being artist, you are your own worst critic..

[mountainDreamer]

Yup! AOL stinkin news. LOL I dont usually like AOL for any of my news, but I saw an interview with Eddie and had to click on it. Then came right here.

[wes122342]

god eddie is the best guitarist in the world

[zidan89]

I listen to each day Van Halen , it subordinates :)

[falcon0351]

VMProject,your right brother..its a gem alright..VH rules man...

[dday6645]

1991 was the first time I saw VH in concert but not the last. Saw them at the old World Music Theater in a suburb of Chicago. The memories are amazing!

[kingsdrummer]

I remember this show from Sac, I was there as well. I recall Alice In Chains opening.

[mnc51]

Damm right. I saw the same two bands in Milwaukee on August 31, 1991. The fact that I got to see AIC in their prime makes me very thankful.

[tdb20007]

This was Van Halen at their absolute peak! Love this song!!!

[KNIGHTFOX80]

DUSTY just buy "LIVE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW" album from 1993. this was recorded in fresno CA on that cd. rest is awesome too.

[MDmiller31]

Awesome VID man!! Love Van Halen!!

[tsteves1]

I wasa at the show in 91, cal expo amphiteater in Sac, senior year of H.S> am in the video fro a split second LOL

[jefflongest]

what hs did you go to, or was it not local?

[tsteves1]

Went to HS in Stockton, ca . we drove up to sac for this!!!

[jefflongest]

oh, right on! it's a small world and if you read my other comment you probably saw that i was also in my sr hs year. thought we might have know each other by chance if you were from the area! didn't see them again until nov of '07 w/diamond dave right here in sac at arco arena: good times!

[DustyStraws]

Is there any place to rip this audio so I can put this on a CD?! Thanks!

[RadioTodd]

AWESOME!!! This is as good as it gets people! Not to sound cheesy but this is what rock n' roll is all about. GREAT song, the band is at their BEST and there is FANTASTIC interaction from the crowd! Not to mention the girls...more than a few hotties out there! Thanks alot for posting this!!!

Todd

[MDmiller31]

You nailed it man! Rock On!!

[RadioTodd]

THANKS!!!

[8088ee]

I was at this concert in Phx AZ. They swramed the audience with camera men during this song "Standing on top of the World" and "dream is over". I mean alot of cameras. I remember this vividly 'cause I can see several of my partying buds from the day. In the early nineties we played this video at the dance club always as the last song of the night (last call). What a song to end the night too...."This version" PERFECT!

[bhamilton1968]

This video was shot at the Cal Expo Ampitheater in Sacramento Ca. MTV stopped playing this version when the studio version was made. And previous posts are correct hot as hell that nite but a great show from a great band at a great place wish it were still there.

[8088ee]

Hi your right about Sacramento,but also in Phx too. We can see ourselves in the video. (twice).Van Halen Rocks!

[tl124]

I don't know how to solve this but I think this was shot at Molson Park in Barrie, Ontario.... whereever it was it is **^$#$& AWESOME footage.

[vanhalenfreak5150]

fuck u

[FOXACHECK]

halenfanatic. I think I went to the same show, was it pouring rain that show.

[bozbone]

It taint rare no mo!!

[camelbackmountain]

The black and white adds a cool effect

[hathwit7]

vh is so f&%king cool!!!

[tsteves1]

I WAS AT THIS SHOW AT CAL EXPO TOO!!! aMAZING. FRONT ROW STAGE LEFT , ALMOST PASSED OUT DUE TO HEAT EXHAUSTION...BRILLIANT SHOW!!

[halenfanatic]

This was a great concert! Saw them at Pine Knob back in '91. Boy we sweated our Butts off at this show!

[halenfanatic]

This was definately a rare video at the time. MTV didn't show this version much back in '91. They went with the other version

[vhchuck3]

Can't be that rare.

[hiltonpino]

top of the rock!

[liquidfinger]

I was at the show i was filmed at the cal expo sacramento ca 93 I was right in front of eddie ...it was fucking hot! 98 degrs that night...

[spawnofwheezedog]

if 98 degrees is hot for you stay away from arizona! thats friggin parka weather over here!

[5150vanhalen]

why...why the FUCK was i 2 at this time?????

[5150vanhalen]

holy crap....thats one insane video!

[renshiott]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood­!

[baskinginit]

What a great show that was! We were there when they filmed this. It was in Sacramento, CA. They told us before the song that they were going to be filming the video. That's why at the end you hear Sammy saying, "you did it" and "you really helped us out". It was such an awesome show!

[8088ee]

They said that in Phx AZ too. Ours is when sammys hair is pulled up on his head due to all the sweat. They were all dripping in 110 plus temps here, so it a collage of a couple of that leg of the tour.

[cruefan1]

yes im going to see them on there opening night of there 07 tour with david lee roth in charlotte nc. kicks ass. front row bitches.

[Gary2112]

one lucky man

but

im a little concern

that it wont be the same without Michael

[AVman9]

aww fuck you man! I couldn't get tickets like that if my life depended on it!

[Gary2112]

take that back.

i said that B4 i saw the shows on youtube.

THEY'RE GREAT!! haha

[januszfrompoland]

"Standin' on top of the world

For a little while

Standin' on top of the world

Let's give it all we got"

Rock from 80's & 90's rules! Thet were the last decades of very good rock & pop music. The rock & heavy metal used to have melody & good vocals then. Lyrics were also much better. Pop was good as well.

To all fans of Van Halen and 80's & 90's - greetings from Poland. Keep on rockin' in the free world!

[music4utoday]

The Best Rock N Roll Band With Or Without Roth Period!

[DVincentW]

Fuggin AWESOME thanks!

[vinny3888s]

The song and the band would have been UlTRA popular if they released this video on MTV instead of the one they put out. Either way Sammy and Van Halen were the best and this song is still arocking song today!

[halenfanatic]

Thanks for posting this version! I haven't seen this one in yrs!!

[cadresde]

that intro is AWESOME

[BTJason]

I remember seeing this video when it first came out and I never saw it again. The thing that floored me was that it was raw audio. NOTHING was edited. THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this. Man, this brought back some memories

[mtmetaltitan]

WOW!

THE METAL TITAN  LA CA

[cckitten5]

how do i get a copy of this video?

[Wisec4g]

Man, being born in '86 deprived me of being able to see VH in their prime. Hagar or Roth, both eras kicked ass!

[ggustin]

My friend - that statement is wise beyond your years - You are completely right. You missed out on some GREAT years - but thanks to technology - you can see what WAS! =VH=

[ect5150]

You, my friend, are one up on most VH fans. Half of them out there are "Roth Sucks," or "Dave Sucks" ... but the reality is its ALL GOOD! nice to see someone much younger then myself actually figure out what its all about! Rock on man!

[U2BR2006]

Man, were those the days. They were so damn great. I miss them, and the old, smiling, good-time having Eddie. Come back, man.

[egertje7]

this is one of their best songs i would kill to play guitar like that

[record06]

What a voice! Hagar was one of those guys who could always pull it off live. One of the all-time greats. Its too bad they can't stand each other now. VH is an amazing band, but could have been even greater if all the drama was eliminated. Gread vid.

[h20ndirt]

Was in the front row when they filmed this (Cal Expo - Sacramento). Those were the days!

[ajgrimdogg]

I was there too! That was the best place to see a show. I will cherish those days forever. I was at the filming of "Love Song" too.

[dg5150]

This is awesome!!! Haven't seen it in 15 years - thanks!!

[haywood16]

Havent seen this one in a while!

[Gary2112]

This is what im talkn' bout! Its Better than the RHRN one.

[flyingV1043]

fuckin sick!

[cole5150]

Oh hell yeah!! thanks for posthing this dood!

[menon316]

AWESOME! :)

[DustyStraws]

Wow! Thank you for getting this up here! Great Video!

[Dackerz]

What an awesome version of this song!

[vanhalenrules]

Defenetly My favorite video of 1991
