I know you’ll never see this reply- but you nailed it with “lightening in a bottle.” This was the greatest VH concert ever. To me. Greatest vocals, greatest band brothers (b4 egos and drugs) and greatest harmony ever. Gotta have MIKEY.❤ As you said.. no gimmicks, no flaming towers, nothin but PURE MAGIC and JOY! I had to chuckle.. bc Sam is screaming “YALL ON TV NAW!!!”🤟🏼like a time capsule..🫦 Who’d ever guess that even that lil comment would make this even more powerful. I’m forever grateful I got to see these maestros in concert at every stage…including camping out on sidewalks for tickets. (Except with the Great Gary Cherone. Love him so much!)

Why can't music be like this anymore? What a magical time..

I don't think it was "miles better". I think they are more in tune, and Hagar sings perfectly in key most of the time. The show is "technically" better. But in no way were the Van Hagar shows "better" : they totally lacked that sense of danger and unpredictability of the Roth era. They were not wild rock shows anymore, they were perfect by-the-numbers pop/rock shows for the whole family to enjoy. No cursing, no weirdness. And while Hagar is a perfectly fine singer and frontman (I dow own some of his solo stuff), he doesn't have the craziness of the greats and the legendary. His moves and attitude are pretty generic. He's a fine employee but definitely not an innovator in any way.

He just got a bit annoying and got too big headed and also more interested in the persona than the music. 6 albums over 6 years with Roth was perfect. The Hagar fronted van halen from 85-96 was way better than what would have been had Roth stayed. I do prefer the original VH though!

You never hear the studio version on the radio for that reason.

I think Eddie's amazing rhythm is what puts him above everyone in that kind of style. The feel and "swing" he had, untouchable. A lot of the guys that came later talk about that, his feel was so amazing.

In my opinion, their best work was done with Sammy . Plus they looked like they were always having fun & a real band , together .

Both the DLR and Sammy had strengths. But if forces to choose, I'll take the Sammy era because Sammy's vocal (and instrumental) abilities allowed Eddie to expand the VH sound as he envisioned.

@LF X I used to be a DLR purist but after watching these videos it’s clear the winner is Van Hagar. They were on top of the fuckin world in this era.

Thx for those days of my youth - good times - not always the best or perfect but I knew they were times to be cherished❣️ Thx for memories - Never will be forgotten, R.I.P. Now you are in a better world

It's been weeks and I'm still struggling to come to terms with it. There will never be another guitarist like him but I feel so sad for Wolf and his family, he was obviously a loving dad from the personal photos Wolf posted and I just feel so bad for him/them for their loss.

He may not be physically with us, yet we were blessed with the time we had with Eddie. Unlike a "regular" family there's thousands of hours of recordings (both audio and video) where his family and extended family (meaning us fans) can visit with him anytime we want in our own special ways. The happy memories will eventually outweigh the sadness, it just sucks getting to that point. It has been a few months now and it's still hard to believe he's got going to available for a tour. I hope you're doing better, too. RIP Eddie.
