Van Halen - Live Without a Net (VHS, 1986)

As someone who was lucky enough to have grown up during the hard rock/metal golden years, I was a Van Halen fan. After taking up the guitar at 15 (1981) I came to realize just how amazing Eddie Van Halen is as a musician and Van Halen quickly became my favorite band. Edwards style is so unorthodox that I (like many other guitar players) had a hard time figuring out just how he did all the amazing things on the guitar. For many years it was a mystery....until this show came out on VHS and now DVD. If you are a guitar player and EVH fan, this DVD will quickly become your Bible. You can see how Edward creates many of the sounds he is famous for (many are very simple, but impossible to figure out until you see them.) Things like the Mean Street intro, lots of tapping licks, cool tap harmonics and finger positions are clearly shown. For the guitar secrets alone the DVD is easily worth the price. The show itself is a great look at how entertaining and talented Sammy is (the best voice in rock) and has the classic Van Halen moments we have all come to expect (Michael's Jack Daniels bass solo, Alex wailing throughout, Eddie mastery of all aspects of the guitar, Sammy's funny talks in between and during songs, etc.) If you are a Van Halen fan, this DVD is a MUST HAVE. By far, the best live show they have put out comercially (much better then the Right Here Right Now show.) Van Halen fans...BUY THIS DVD...you will not be disappointed. Van Hagar in all their glory at the pinnacle of their careers.
