Eddie did not have the pick of destiny that night

Have people really forgotten what happened here? The sample rate of the keyboard part was not correct, causing the conflict in keys. It was a unique situation in that Eddie could *not* play in the correct key even if he transposed without completely re-tuning his instrument mid-song, which despite the awkwardness, he actually tried to do
Maybe should've stopped, but their attempt to solider through it is admirable, if also totally hilarious. Honest accident, these kids can still play just fine.

Could it be possible, that Eddie didn´t hear a lot of the keyboard from his monitors? If a brilliant musician with lots of stage experience like him would have been really aware of the situation, he would have stopped playing. "Stop and apologize" is worst case in any bands concert, but in this situation it would have been the choice. EVH had no chance to correct a wrong samplerate from the keyboard playback. Evil non- diatonic mixture.

I am speechless...If this is the best the great Van Halen can do to re-create their old masterpiece live. It's C-R-A-P!!!!!!!!! I was in a band in the early 1980s and we did JUMP spot on to the record. I played Synth and my friend Danny played a mighty fine guitar solo note-for-note.
On this video, the synth comes from nowhere (pre-recorded?) and as someone said,it's a semitone sharp (coming out in C#).
If I had been in the audience I would have expected a refund. APALLING!!!!!!!!!!

off pitch, or too loud!
This comment has received too many negative votes show
I was at this concert, there was nothing wrong with the sound. The device you recorded it on can't handle the analog to digital conversion adequately. If you watch other videos of any concert where the recording was done with a phone or camera, you'll experience the same horrible sound on a lot of them.

@tygone90 Did you happen to look at all my other videos from this show? The sound is fine on those. But I guess if you truly believe the device I used didn't handle the analog to digital conversion adequately, you probably believe that my device also faked the portion of the video where Ed is obviously trying to tune his guitar by the amps.
