Chickenfoot - HighwayStar (Live)

A highlight from the 40th anniversary celebrations "Re-Machined -- A Tribute To Deep Purple's Machine Head" is this specially recorded live performance of 'Highway Star' by Chickenfoot, an American rock supergroup consisting of former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals) and Michael Anthony (bass), solo artist Joe Satriani (guitar) and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

I am 67 years old, a Deep Purple fan since the 1970s and this cover of Highway Star is simply the best I ever heard. Just goddam amazing!

Michael Anthony is so underrated man... You here that guy screaming that intro? In his 60's and still has pipes like that... Damn!!

[TotalNow]

Absolute props to the way Joe nailed the keyboard solo. Amazing

[pauldibella]

I'm not a huge Red Hot Chilly Peppers fan but, Chad Smith is one of the absolute best Rock drummers of modern times. Chickenfoot was firing on all cylinders!!!!

[SharksSeanOSullivanSharkey]

A master class in rock musicianship..4 guys playing at a level very few musicians ever reach...Awesome version of a classic

[mikecampbell]

I have been a Deep Purple fan since the early 70s. This cover is one of the greatest things I have ever seen!

Michael Anthony is one of the most underrated musicians of rock'n'roll. He's fucking awsome and now joined a team that really appreciate him.

WHAT A TOP TIER GROUP OF ROCK STARS!! Michael Anthony’s vocals are incredible!!!!

[Mrfabby]

All these guys are rock vets, and millionaires, and to see/hear them together on the same stage for the simple rush of playing with one another is inspiring. This was 10 years ago, meaning Sammy was 65, Michael Anthony was 59, Joe Satriani was 57, and Chad Smith was 51. Unreal. What a performance!

[BAND-MAID-USA]

Sammy was 65 in this performance. Let that sink in a minute.. legend

[rwk]

You gotta give Chad Smith some love on drums, he kills that that intro and drives that song with perfection. Awesome performance.

[gary]

This version of "Highway Star" is as good as it gets. Like an avalanche rolling down a mountain, what drive and momentum.
These guys work well together.

[dninja]

Hagar n Anthony are the most Humble cats in the game.
Respect

[benxx]

4 old rockers going all out on a rock masterpiece, lovin' it!

[FastWhls]

Listen carefully to MA's bass lines. What an underrated bass player! These guys are so tight as a band but so relaxed at the same time. What a fun show to see.

[briansprinkle]

BY FAR the absolute best cover of ANY Purple song! Man! I'm Blown away!!! Talk about incredible!!!

[bcoolnow]

Every single guy in this band just kicks ass! Legends!

[johnnybs]

Sammy hagar - you gotta love this guy. 70 years old and rocking as hard as ever. What a legend

[KingKook]

Satriani is a beast, but what makes this cover rock so wild, really thump and jump, is Michael Anthony's ferociously tight bottom end grooving so hard with Chad's swinging beats. Anthony is the secret weapon that helped make Van Halen such an incredibly dynamic and rhythmic band. And what a voice!

[justinbartarm]

Never heard another band cover this so good. Like the real thing but more power to it. Mind blowing.
