Doesn't seem to have full use of his faculties here....even his body language says " I might be drunk"
My friend's brother shot the clip - flew to Vegas to see them

First Schenker and now Van Halen - the demon alcohol taking it's toll!

He's nowhere near as bad as Schenker was at that Scorpions gig last year, but he does seem a bit... shaky. He still looks healthier than he did a year ago, thank God.

Having said that, I've never seen a live clip of Ed on top form. With his style, if he's just a little bit off it sounds terrible, it seems to me. Even the shows they officially released on video/DVD sound pretty ropey.

Some would see it as rock'n'roll, some as terrible lack of respect for the fans. Drink after the show, guys.

Hmmm, let's compare that against a recent Nuno live solo ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjgBVJMfSg&feature=related

The EVH solo is a disgrace.

Thanks for this!

Awesome.

The EVH.....rambling, incoherent and badly timed dont even start to cover it. That was awful.

Let him not show up like that next month, when I come to see them in New Orleans, which is not the best place to start going clean. :shock:

I think this clip of him from 1994 puts it all in perspective ....

One can only try to imagine what a true fan that flew around half the globe to see his idol play must feel after such an experience.
