from what ive read and heard (from people who were friends and working for them, actually my friends older brother was there soundman right up till the first record) eddie had a few different versions of eruption, some nights he would tap some not - in that version you posted you can hear some parts that make up the eruption thats on VH1
the story goes templeman (the bands producer) heard him warming up with it before a show and thought it should be showcased on the record - eddie and templeman picked the best parts of the various versions and pieced together what you hear today -
eddie credits donn landee (engineer on all van halen recordings and produced later on in the sammy days) with making eruption sound like it does.
templeman had alot to do with molding the van halen sound. when i get done getting those gene simmons demos mp3ed and uploaded youll hear what im talking about.
