Wanting some quality from the Sammy Hagar era, I pulled out Van Halen's March 11, 1995 show at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, FL. First day of the Balance Tour, excellent recording, the band performing at their very best. A classic bootleg that I will never get tired of. According to VHBOOTS there are several variations of this show, all of high quality. I'm not certain whether the recording I listened to is the "Impulsive Balance" version, but it can't be too far off. It works for me.
Constellation of fourShining brightly on stage
Eddie's supernova
No old school master
Modern virtuoso
Plays his amped up strings
Perform at their peak
Riding the crest of a wave
Lifted by crowds cheers
A sound of pure joyHe asks why this can't be love
Brings tears to his eyes
Play the loud dance beat
Music that is oh so sweet
Eight shot love affair
Thousands cheer for one
Takes them higher and higher
Never disappoints
Controls our impulse
A master with ten fingers
Eddie takes command
Music at an end
Faces his reality
Back to the future
Reached a certain age
Illness has become a plague
His friends are dieing
