Eddie Van Halen, Steve Lukather, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey Live 4 Jason REMASTER Vid w Soundboard
In 1996 a very special concert took place in honor of the incredible musician Jason BECKER, on this occasion a supergroup composed by Eddie VAN HALEN, Steve LUKATHER, Billy SHEEHAN & Pat TORPEY gave an exceptional concert! Here's the video testimony of this unique live performance on which I synchronized the sound coming from a soundboard and I mixed (as I could :) with the sound of the camera.
I hope you'll enjoy this unique testimony in honor of Jason. After the concert I added the outstanding footage of Edward visiting Jason at home which shows all the humanity and kindness of all these fabulous people!!! Eddie, Jason and all your family, you are a truly great human beings!!!
Rest in peace Eddie & Pat.

As I get older, it becomes increasingly obvious to me that Pat Torpey was an extraordinary talent who surpassed nearly all his peers.
It's good to see Eddie play with different people. Sheehan is the bass play Eddie always wanted.

Ed, as any dutchman, wasnt afraid to show love and affection!
No one is, or ever has been greater than Steve Lukather. Too bad people don't realize that they may not know the name, but they know the songs, Rosanna and Africa. Of course, he is considered an unsurpassed studio musician, having played that role since age 18 with most of the biggest names ever to record! To be a studio musician requires the greatest of skills as you're playing with not one band, but many. He is the crème de la crème! Give him his due!
Eddie was music, and still is. Always just wanted to meet him… Only in dreams.

Its just pure, you notice he’s not really defining the chord changes through his soloing like Luke. Theres nothing worked out or thought of what notes to land on to resolve it, he's just winging it.

what;s crazy to me is how he had licks for other songs already roaming around in his brain. about 40:26 he is doing the outro riff to without you's solo. Eddie is a legend and had such a massive heart! a true master.
Ed & Billy such similar players but in different instruments, Steve such a phenomenon great support from Pat. Great show

If you're not crying at the end there's something wrong with you. Eddie was the true meaning of the word HERO. A heart of gold who never bragged or even talked the stuff he did. If Jason hadn't posted this nobody would have known. We all miss you, Eddie. You're forever the King.
4 of the most common first names ever. Imagine if it was labeled, Eddie, Steve, Billy, Pat benefit for Jason. Bondfire and hot dogs.

I was there, pretty sure it was at the Riviera in Chicago. I'm on the floor maybe 10 foot off the stage dead center, Standing for like 7 hours worth every minute of it. This was an entire night of performances, Eddie and his band were the last to perform. I know Zakk Wilde was there, Greg Howe too. It's been a few years lol, can't remember all of the performances. Epic night indeed
Remember wanting to go to this so bad it was promoted on Chicago rock radio, and as right after the Dave MTV debacle
Incredible! Good times bad times!
He probably knows the most about guitars in playing on stage live then any other human being alive he made a massive Fortune from it
With all the demons Eddie had throughout his whole life, it was so heartwarming to see this act of kindness to someone not as fortunate as the rest of us. Eddie always had a big heart, no matter how difficult he was at times.

Yes he was a very gifted kind soul I was lucky enough to see him 8 times over the years. I'm a left handed acoustic country music player and IV always admired him
I'm crying like a baby .
Eddie Van Halen is the ultimate expression of everything that 'rock & roll' is, was and always will be about. As a pre-teen hard core Jimi Hendrix fan, it took my younger brothers time to introduce Van Halen to my mind. For me it has always been about who is worth going out of my way to see perform live. The first concert I went to was 'Black Sabbath' in 1972. Alice Cooper for years until the 'Muscle of Love' tour. Ted Nugent a bunch of times. My most memorable concert moment was seeing 'Alvin Lee' and "Ten Years Later", his awesome band formed after the ending of 'Ten Years After'. When they actually played 'I'd Love To Change The World' it was like tripping on 'acid'. Eddie seems to have mastered the electric guitar in ways that cannot be equaled or surpassed.
Great to see this. Long live the King!
I’ve searched for years, for any unique videos of Ed, and I’ve seen hundreds, however, I’ve not seen THIS until now. Amazing! Thank you!
What an amazing show! This should be released just a raw cut as is. Amazing artists, all stars on their own but kill it together!
All these comments giving praise to these people have no clue obviously for Jason Becker and the praise that he should have adorn. Had he not got sick I wonder where Eddie would be on the list. Nothing against Eddie Becker was phenomenal.

Great share. Just heard of this today.
This is a nice gem to stumble across while going down a yt music rabbit hole. Very cool to see Ed tearing it up on Little Wing , I Want You (She’s So Heavy, and Fire, and also easing back to play rhythm during Luthaker’s solos, Sheehan on vox during Ain’t Talking ‘Bout Love, and there’s a great moment towards the end of Fire, where Ed & Sheehan are trading virtuoso licks while still laying down enough of the rhythm & chords for Steve’s solo. They are facing each other right in front of Torpeys drum riser, who is keeping the frantic music from nearly going off the rails, driving it just close enough to the edge for the talent on stage to shine. Four pros, at the end of a long tribute show, just doing what they do best, and putting on a great performance for the family, friends, and loved ones of Jason Becker. Doesn’t get much better than this, for the type of show it was. Also, nice clip added at the end of Ed visiting with Jason. Thx for sharing this content, EY3ZZ.
