Here are some cool old clips of very early Van Halen. You can hear snippets of familiar songs on lots of these...including some things that Ed apparently had before VH1 that didn't make it on to a record until the late Sammy years.
The videos aren't in synch (they are just old footage) but nonetheless, its interesting history for VH-o-philes of how the songwriting evolved.

Sorry if these have been linked here before, but I think they're worth another listen! :RoCkIn

The live footage from that second video (No More Waiting) must have been shot on the same day they took the photos for the cover of Van Halen I. They are all wearing the same clothes, playing the same instruments, etc.

Very cool stuff...thanks!

That is very cool old stuff. It brings back a lot of wild 80s memories.

Funny how someone's commenting that it isn't VanHalen? It would have to be 3 of the most uncanny similar appearing/acting/playing people somehow magically recruited to pull off a fake - and why? Especially pulling off Eddie and Dave's stage moves like Dave's high kick and Eddie's little run.

Pretty cool stuff actually - I always liked that early VH - or the later stuff too: even Hagar!

That's spliced video from the "Jamie's Cryin' " promo/video shoot, not that song. I'm surprised earlier footage hasn't been put out there a bit more to date though.

Awesome! I like hearing it straight, live, reduced to the most elemental form (and they still come off as the rock stars they became)
