IMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR

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 four

Shining 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 joy

He 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
