Tom Morello on Eddie : “Eddie Van Halen was a musician’s musician of the highest caliber. I was very proud of that, as a fan of rock. That guy could go toe to toe with any musician on the planet: jazz musician, classical musician, with both his improvisational skills and his rock & roll songwriting, and just his swag and his vibe - it was absolutely unparalleled.”

When I played Van Halen, it had to be played loud, so the neighbors could hear it. It worked, Lol... Saw them in concert, 3 days after my 18th birthday. A limo there and back home. 3 Rd row. Greatest present I ever had.

Besides being with his son, being on stage playing is his happy place.

Sammy said that the Summer Nights riff was the first thing Eddie played when they first got together in 1985. Sammy joined right in with the chorus "Summer nights and my radio... that's all we need..." He knew right then it was going to work.

after looking at thousands and thousands of VH videos over the last (However long YT has been around) I would have to say that this particular performance of this song was so highly underrated... now that Ed is gone, you really appreciate seeing just how fricking HAPPY he always appeared. Yes, he had his low times and his ugly times. Who doesn't? But ... aside from his particular set of skills and the way his brain works, he also played his guitar with a HAPPY and GLEEFUL looking face, unlike most guitarists of his time. Usually guitarists have a brooding, somewhat arrogant and angry look. Eddie truly enjoyed what he did... he did it until he could do it no more. What a life. I am an extremely hardcore Eddie fan when it comes to the guitar. Doesn't matter what or who I play with, I (after 40 years) do "sound' like as do many of us guys who worked so hard at playing like him and understanding just 'how' he came up with his licks (still working on that one)... anyway, point is, especially for the younger generation that wasn't there in 78' ... this is a really good video to show what Van Halen could do, even though I am a much more hardcore DLR DD fan, it's so nice to see Eddie play happy music. He is truly enjoying this particular evening and it's so awesome that we GET to watch this kind of thing.

How many of us fortunate ones got to actually jam to this cruising the local strip and hanging out in parking lots? I'm sure sounds lame to many now. Little did we know then how lucky we were!

I cranked this album in my 1986 Suzuki Samurai 🤣. Other guys would make fun of the little jeep. But they’d be home on Friday while me and my friends would cruise Broadway Street in San Francisco having a time I will never forget.

It's been 38yrs since l was at this very concert in New Haven CT. 5150 tour , VH1 was there filming both nights 🔥! I'm so lucky ❤🎸🥁🤸!

Man, getting Live Without A Net and watching it over and over and over again as a teen! Good shit! 🎸Live Right Here Right Now is great as well!

Wow.. Loved this video back then and it's just as great now. What a fascinating track, musically, as with all of 5150. My personal favourite VH album. The whole band, so much talent, so unique. I miss them.

Eddie’s playing is so exhilarating and fun. Like going on a awesome roller coaster 🎢 ride !!!

Guys like Eddie (obviously Eddie is the greatest ever) are born with that certain something, what it is I don't know, but it's a very special gift that's there from day one. Bit like a person who is great at art, I'm sure we all knew someone in our school days who was brilliant at drawing who never had any art lessons, it's that same special gift that's there from the get go. Thanks Eddie 🤟

that guitar solo was insane

I've said for more than 30 years now "5150" was an awesome record from start to finish. And this song, "Summer Nights" is in my top 2 favorites, along with "Best of Both Worlds." Sammy Hagar brought such a strong dimension to the band which made them, I think, better than ever.

Oh I agree , one of, if not the, best album they did. Eddie's best sounding guitar, tone-wise, he finally put a little bottom end to his sound, not so treblely, put a little chunk in that crunch , balanced it out and gave it a heavier sound , actually found a way to put some gravitas in his sound . Like in "Don't tell me what love can do" and he just da da da da da da , rides each chord and it's resonance kicks ass ! I've played since '72 an EVH has been pretty much my favorite and biggest influence since '78. Oh but yeah I agree , arguably the best album . I also think "summer nights" is about my fav VH song . The guitar is so fun to play it's like playing "Spirit of the Radio" by Rush , it's never EASY but it's ALWAYS fun . I really like the title track "5150", I like songs with busy guitar parts and the intro is a blast . One thing I really noticed , that I probably should have years earlier, how well they harmonize and how good their background vocals were. When they're singing "ahhh ah" and "summer nights" the harmonizations perfect ! Some of the best background vocals since the Beatles and Bad Finger .

This was the song where I knew Van Halen had made the perfect singer choice. You Go Sammy!!! Man, those were fantastic days fellas, thank you so much.

This was such a great show!!! I can't believe it's coming up on 40yrs : (

That's what you call music perfection!

Eddie could have have played a shoelace tied to a broomstick and it would have shredded

5150 tour was my first concert. They were awesome! Still one of my best memories of Eddie and one of the best concerts I have ever seen. RIP Eddie

Van Halen- Live Without a Net was the epitome of my middle and high school years. I wore that VHS out. But I still have it, 35 years later. EVH51504EVER

Eddie is not dead. God just needs guitar lessons.

Man you could really tell these guys had a ton of fun during the Sammy era. We all know that Dave was an incredibly talented frontman, but the chemistry they all had with Sammy is undeniable.

They were so tight live. I know the DLR era will always be considered their classic years, but DLR live was never a great musical performance. This tour and the one for Carnal Knowledge in 1991/92 they never sounded any better in my opinion.

Unbelievable how simple and complex the guitar work is and Eddie makes it look so effortless and FUN...definitely miss him lots.

I could watch Eddie play guitar forever!!! Such a classic band that was old school and never changed their style. Even when David Lee Roth left and Sammy Hagar took over lead vocals...they never missed a beat. This has always been one of my all time fav bands. Rip Eddie Van Halen.

One of my all time favorite songs, but Eddie is puffing away on those cancer sticks, RIP Eddie

Eddie always had such a big smile on his face. True legend. 🎶

Eddie is so good here, he even works on his smoke rings in the middle of the tune!

I was a high school junior, couldn’t get enough of Eddie and VH. Now I’m 52, and Eddie is gone. RIP to the greatest; if only we could turn back time and get that ever-present cigarette away from him; We might still be graced with his awesomeness

This concert was awesome

Always a grinnin’ and a pickin’! R.I.P! Eddie! The world misses you!!! Wish there was a way to bring you back!! ✌️😎💨🎸🎵🎶

I wish Van Halen filmed more of their earlier works with David... Every video from the David Lee Roth era is absolute gold.

Eddie just made it look so easy! Incredible era and song!

Wow, I can't believe that I cried when he passed and still miss him and I never met him or even walked past him on the street , 56 years of rock and roll concerts and the love of music!!

Two great version of Van Halen. The DLR version was raw and gritty. Everyone was learning still, but DLR was a great showman...even busted up his face a few times trying impress the audience. Lol Hagar VH is polished and effortless. From instruments to vocals, these guys were spot on and lyrically better too.

Honestly the real sound of VH was with DLR but I do have mad respect for Sammy. Their later sound was more pop than hard rock. I’ve been a huge fan since their first album and listened to them religiously everyday after school.
