11/17/96 The ALS Benefit show in Chicago in honor of Jason Becker. The band went by the name of Lou Brutus Experience and played 7 songs.
Hope it helps.

the drummer sounds kinda boring to me. reminds me of when i hear vh covers a lot of times...the drums are sometimes note-correct but there is rarely any FEEL (I'm a drummer). Thank God for Alex!

Well that settles the old argument as who is better Eddie or Jimi.
Eddie played Hendrix, but Hendrix could NEVER play Van Halen.

This is just stellar. Anyone got the whole show on DVD to share with some Linker friends???

Yeah maybe because he's dead. But I think I get your point.

If Hendrix were alive today, he would eat Ed alive and spit out the bones!!! Hendrix couldn't play Van Halen?!...gimme a break. Just because he wasn't tapping or using hammer-ons at every opportunity, it certainly doesn't mean he couldn't. Hendrix was in his late 20's when he died, so if he were still alive, his playing would have evolved well beyond being able to play bloody "Eruption". Most cover band guitar players can play most of Eddie's stuff and you're saying that one of the most talented ,innovative players ever wouldn't be able to master it? Come on!!...

I never knew there was an argument about who is better?
Does someone have to play another guitarists song to make them better than the guy who originally did it? So if Ed plays a Steve Vai tune he's 'better' than Vai?
That's a strange competition, I always though music is about erm... music.

I guess some didn't get the joke there, seeing how we would never know since Hendrix died 8 years before the ERUPTION of Edward Van Halen.

Whoa, ease up on the "Jimi is God" thing. Hendrix couldn't carry Jimmy Page's jock and he sure as hell wouldn't be able to play Ed. To say he would "eat Ed alive and spit out the bones" is pure nonsense. Relax dude, no need to wet your pants.
