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’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.

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.

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. 🤘💔🙏

And can we give some love for Alex’s double time during the latter part of the solo, matching Eddie’s fire? This has been a gem in my life for 35 years.
