Those three songs from Oakland are my all-time favourite Van Halen videos ever… I only wish that they put out a complete concert video from those nights in June 1981.

Ya,
Nice! Those three vids from Oakland are my all-time favourite Van Halen videos ever… I only wish that there was a complete concert video from those nights in June 1981. Unfortunately, I have been told that they only taped five songs from those nights, and used three.

Someone forgot to turn the bass player's guitar up. I see he's making movement with his fingers but there's no sound coming from his amp.

Money ruins everything. Look at the mismatched cabinets, beautiful!!! Best tone he had, downhill from here.

Mixture of
Mixture of Celestion G12M & JBL-D120's.

I once tried a JBL-D120 cabinet and, oh my, they are so freaking bright, but I didn’t take the next step and mix with a G 12M. I guess that’s where the real magic occurs.
Does anyone know if he used this same speaker mix for Van Halen II? It sounds as though it’s just G12M speakers without the JBL edition.

Alot of Ed's cabs were mismatched internally as most JBL-D120's were 8 ohm and G12M 16 ohm.
He was known to blow some speakers but no greater sound than an overdriven speaker right before it blows.
Same with amps.
Few months ago i was playing my JCM DSL-100 w/a Hotplate, was getting this better than usual kick-ass crunch thru the cab.
Then i smelled that "smell".
Looked inside the head & 2 power tubes were redplating.
Shut everything off. Turns out i mistakenly plugged into the 8 ohm speaker out instead of 16.
Fortunately no damage what so ever but it sure sounded awesome for that short time.

I have a cab with JBL 123s and G12Ms; it’s obvious to me when I play through the cab that the ‘sizzle’ in thigh end on VHI is absolutely the result of the JBLs. My speakers are reissue GBs and lower wattage JBLs and I hear it plain as day. The 123s are 15-25w and sound great, though not the D120s that high end is right there.
