It’s very likely that the reason for that is because his sound is also the best it’s ever been, and thanks to the iron-clad reliability of his rig all he has to think about is playing.Įd’s guitar tech Tom Weber and Wolfgang’s bass tech Jim Survis-both experienced road pros who have worked on previous Van Halen tours as well as with numerous headlining acts for decades-both humbly comment that the rigs remained trouble-free for the entire tour, something that neither can recall ever happening before on tours with other artists. Van Halen fans who attended the band’s 2015 tour unanimously agreed that Ed’s playing is better than it’s ever been. As the Van Halen family-Ed on guitar, his son Wolfgang on bass, and brother Al on drums-roar into an instrumental version of “Light Up the Sky,” the entire backstage crew gathers to watch, and even the venue workers, who moments ago were hastily preparing for the evening’s events, stop in their tracks to listen. This point is driven home during soundcheck for Van Halen’s show at New York’s Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
