Imagine all the billions of years the universe has existed and we just happened to live during the time this music was created. RIP EVH!!! You were an amazing musical genius!!!

This is how I will always remember EVH. I had seen them twice with Diamond Dave, in 1979 and 1984, and they were great. BUT..Eddie and Sammy knew they had a good thing with this lineup. Eddie was at the top of his game here, not just because he’s kickin so much ass...cause he always did that, but just look at how much fun they are having. The show I saw in Fort Worth was as good or better than this one. RIP EVH. This one hurts. The world doesn’t seem right with you not in it anymore.

I'll miss you, Edward Van Halen. You were such a huge part of my teenage years and musical landscape. Thank you for all the great music.

I’m listening to this again after reading that Edward is having health issues. Man, he was so invincible and immortal in 1986. Praying for your recovery and your peace, Ed. Thanks for making me want to play the guitar. If they released this song as the first single off of this album instead of Why Can’t This Be Love, I think the Hagar era would be viewed differently than it is. This song is just as rocking, if not more, than anything that they did on the first 6 albums.

My favorite tour... rest in peace Eddie.😞😭 I saw Van Halen many times in concert with and without Sammy and by far my favorite was the 5150 tour.

11/16/23 Thank you VH for the heavenly music. There will never be a band as good as you. This particular song is an absolute gem. It brings tears to the eyes. It will never, ever, grow old to the ears and soul. As a bass player, it is a pure joy to hear the super human talent of this incarnation of Van Halen. Love , Love , Love Thanks !

Alex's drums, Mikey's bass, Sammy's voice, Eddie's blazing guitar. It doesn't get any better than this. I remember seeing this for the first time on VHS and thinking, what in the world did I just see? Eddie's guitar solo takes you on a hypnotic journey and drops you off at the edge of a volcano. It will be a very long time before we ever see a guitar player like Eddie, if we ever do.

Thank God I was alive to witness this band and this monster of a guitar player. Thank you Eddie, R.I.P brother

3:16 that live version of the 5150 solo was the best I ever heard.

Greatest of all times always jumping around having a blast an smiling that sweet smile so glad I got to see him in concert the 5150 tour. love me some eddie 💘 he will be greatly missed 😔

I was at this show. This was the best tune of the night.

I agree. I forgot how good they sounded live!

R.I.P. Eddie. We always said your music reached the heavens. Now we hope they reach back down to us.

I’ve listened to this video / song and I feel it’s their best.

Best album in the world. Hands down. Thanks Ed 4 everything.

This is such a great song...

Single greatest moment in all of music history….

EVH is my reason for choosing to play guitar. RIP Legend. Thanks for inspiring me. You'll never be forgotten.

The ALMIGHTY Van Halen!💖 These concerts were the best time of my LIFE!👍👍

Probably the greatest guitar Solo of all time EVH imitated but never duplicated Let's please keep his spirit alive 🙏

Just like Hendrix that guitar looks like it's a part of his body he moves so fluid with the guitar

this was Happy Eddie for sure... RIP Eddie, may we all meet on the other side... and thank you...

I was blessed to see VH both ways THIS was the best. Thee GREATEST band of my generation 🤘🏿🤘🏿

Ed’s guitar tone on this tour.The vibrato at 4:29 🔥🔥🔥

This never gets old. RIP Eddie.

RIP EVH :-(

There will never be again another guitar player that has influenced the world with such happiness and love and effortless

What a great time to be alive back then. This was the best song off the album and their chemistry was incredible. Wish I had a time machine set for 1980 whatever.

The best. Period.

Sooooooooooooooo Good!!!!!😅 Has the power that creates worlds channeling through six strings. 🎸

Always been my favorite song off that album.

The energy, the joy, the perfection 🤌

5150 will forever be my favourite van halen song

Utterly perfect

Van Halen/ Van Hagar they totally crush this song.

Among the many jaw-dropping guitar solos Eddie Van Halen played in a career, this one still stands alone. Good God.

What an amazing performance. Big Eddie, and Sammy What a vocalist🤘

How isn't this viral? One of the best concert songs/solos of all time.

Nineteen Eighty Six was absolutely glorious

Great concert. Great band. Great guys performing great tunes. Great times. Miss EVH. Can’t believe he’s gone.

I had the VHS cassette of this concert as a teenager, and I'm amazed that I didn't wear it out (still have it 37 years later and it still plays!). I love the live version of this song, and I think it's far superior to the studio version, which lacks the energy and awesome extended guitar solo. Eddie's energy, athleticism, and showmanship are off the charts in this concert. He's like an Olympic athlete /guitar god performing gymnastics and guitar heroics at the same time. I feel blessed that I got to see Van Halen live back in '88 during the Monster's Of Rock Tour. I worshiped at the altar of EVH , and I will forever celebrate his legacy and mourn his passing. 🤘💔🙏

EVH 'lightening in a bottle', right here on my screen. So lucky to have this now that he's gone. RIP Eddie.

This song is so dam good it’s unreal. This live version with the broken down solo in the beginning is just 🔥

the magic music man........EVH!

Magical

It does not get any better than this!!!!!!!

Eddie Van Halen forever! RIP to the king of 6 strings and 10 fingers.

This tour was a complete love affair between Ed and Sammy. Eddie was in his bonafide prime here. Just epic!

At 9 years old I sat in the living room completely in awe of this performance. Wore the VHS out. 43 now and still in complete awe.

Such a great track, 5150 is my favorite album. EVH fricken amazing!

RIP Eddie! You will always be loved! This video should be a cure for depression! Also I’ve never seen a rock band live that dances while they sing and play the instruments! Best band ever!

Incredible

King of the king Guitar player. 👍👍👍

R I P Eddie! Thanks for the memories!!!

Brilliant

I smile every time I watch this video, epic
