Front-Row Video Footage Of EDDIE VAN HALEN's Guitar Solo From VAN HALEN's Ridgefield Concert

Fan-filmed video footage of Eddie Van Halen‘s guitar solo, shot from the front row at VAN HALEN‘s July 7 concert the Amphitheater Northwest in Ridgefield, Washington, can be seen below.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, VAN HALEN kicked off its summer North American tour on Sunday night (July 5) in Seattle with a set featuring a number of rarities from the band’s catalog that have not been heard live in decades. The show opened with “Light Up The Sky” from 1979’s “Van Halen II” and also featured deep tracks like “Feel Your Love Tonight” from its self-titled 1978 debut, “Drop Dead Legs” from “1984”, “Dirty Movies” from 1981’s “Fair Warning” and “In A Simple Rhyme” from 1980’s “Women And Children First”.

Two days before the tour started, bassist Wolfgang Van Halen wrote on Twitter: “This is by far the best setlist I’ve made for us. Can’t wait for everyone to hear it. Ya’ll are gonna flip.”

“Light Up The Sky” has not been played live in 35 years until now, while “Drop Dead Legs” and “Dirty Movies” had never been performed in concert until Sunday night.

Other album cuts aired during the show included “Women In Love” and “Romeo Delight” in addition to hits and fan favorites such as “Runnin’ With The Devil”, “Unchained”, “Panama”, “Jump”, “Hot For Teacher”, “Everybody Wants Some!!” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love”.

The tour is VAN HALEN‘s first since an aborted North American run three years ago in support of its then-new studio album, “A Different Kind Of Truth”.

VAN HALEN plays in Concord, California on Thursday (July 9) and will spend the whole summer on the road, winding down on October 10 in Los Angeles.
