Van Halen live in Rome, Italy @ The Piper Club 21 May 1980. This video was performed for a TV show (“Superstar” Rai2 TV program) aired on 04 Sept 1980 during the sixth episode. They played also “You Really Got Me” for this lip-sync performances. Eddie Van Halen plays the dragon-snake guitar (very rare). In a subsequent video Dave jumps and hits his nose on a low-hanging mirror ball over the stage. A 3 foot ball of light was lowered over the stage on the darkened television studio. DLR, unaware of this, made one of his famous leaps, crashing into the light fixture resulting in his nose being broken in two places multiple contusion and a possible concussion. This had them cancel the next 2 shows until 5 days later on 5/26 at Pinkpop where Dave’s nose is taped up. In memory of Edward Van Halen, one year without you (10.06.20 - 10.06.21) we miss you. (Van Halen italian fans)

I’m 50. I’ve waited since my childhood for the vaults to open. Bring it

This was a magical era not only for Van Halen, but many hard rock acts. It will never be repeated.

This is how I remember them.... Loud, proud, and 'tude for decades. These boys were the big bad wolves of rock... No quarter asked for, nor given. Dave was the complete shit... all over the stage, live and in your face. Ed ain't sober in this video...and you can tell. He's having fun though, by the look on his face. Look at the way Dave moves on stage. You know the dude had to stretch out for an hour or so, before walking on stage, to be able to be that fluid. In those days, when you purchased a Van Halen ticket... you saw a SHOW. You could not leave that auditorium or amphitheater and say with any truth at all, that you had not been entertained. Four men...one loud sound, one larger than life entertainment experience. They were the mighty Van Halen.... and they were un-fucking-forgettable. RIP Ed... your guitar was the soundtrack of millions of lives... and they all miss you.

The infamous snake guitar! I was like 10 when I bought the Guitar World with that thing on it! Miss you Eddie❤

And the camera guy misses Eddie's solo because Dave's ass shaking had him in a trance.

I'm glad that I grew up in this time era. I saw this tour in 1980 and the memory is permanently embedded into my hard drive

The only reason I would want a time machine. To go back and see all the iconic bands starting out.

To be honest, it takes me back to when it came out. The friends and I lip syncing and air guitaring in the bedroom. The fact this video exists in pristine condition is golden.

No other guitarist music speaks to me like Eddie Van Halen's. It's like I feel every note he plays. Of all the guitarist in history he is an exception. The greatest of the greats

So what if Dave didn't hit every note, this was the ultimate party band. Long live "The Mighty Van Halen"! R.I.P. Edward.

How awesome is this? Like going back to a time when the world was right and just and VH was in their mighty prime. Lip-syncing madness for the foreign audience. Eddie playing the Shark. Simply awesome.
