Nothing like playing with your back to the audience too.

Wow. 
He's inching up on 70 and lived the R&R life of the 80s - I cut him a lot of slack out of respect.
Back then I was more a fan of him than Eddie.
But, he's got to stop accepting these invitations to play at public 'guitar showcase' events.
He's at the age where he can't just expect to be THAT DUDE at the flick of a switch.

Maybe start with more gain and a pick for starters ... The older he gets the more dry and with less gain he wants to play. He's like Benjamin Button, going in reverse.
Well, the 1st thing I heard was after the intial start of the song, the entire vibe dropped out between the band and George.
That's where a beast like EVH fills that gap.
Just one of them bad match-ups & the wrong song at the wrong moment.
I'd like to get on that goldtop though!

Yup. I noticed this too. It's like they were waiting in earnest for him to deliver the necessary vibe.

Maybe that wasn't his night.
He also msy be off due to no whammy bar.
That would have helped lift the dryness from that badass goldtop.
Honestly, it ain't easy to really pull off VH.
Especially the rhythm section with a wizard guitarist on top.
The dynamics are challenging in this song.
We're used to hearing that killer recording which nobody can really pull off live.
They use faders in the studio to bring things up
& down, whereas live, the band has to use dynamics and feel.
A true test of the groove.

Right after hit hits that "Holdsworth note" it looks like the drummer decided "OK, we're done." and goes into an ending of sorts. The bass player sees it immediately but George takes a second or two to realize; "Oh...I guess we're ending here."
What are those amps?
