I agree that this is one of the best recordings I've ever heard. If you're interested, here's the background on the song

Eddie Van Halen Opens Up in his First Guitar World Interview From 1981
Did you go through a period of imitation before your own days of invention?
Definitely, and Clapton was it. I knew every note he played. That's what I was known for around home. Me, Alex and another bass player called ourselves Mammoth and we were the junior Cream. [Shortly before going on stage, Eddie played Clapton's "Crossroads" solo for me, calling it "one of the best live recorded songs ever."] It's funny; when I do interviews and tell people Clapton was my main influence, they go "Who?" Because they're thinking about Clapton doing "Lay Down Sallv," not the Bluesbreakers or Cream.
Your current trio and a singer format is not much different than Cream. Have you ever thought of working with another guitarist?
I've never played with another guitarist because I make enough sound on my own. What I loved about Cream is that everybody had to put out It was three people making all this noise and you could hear each person.
One thing that strikes me about your playing is that of all the high-energy players, you don't take long guitar solos.
I haven't heard anyone do a long interesting guitar solo outside of early Clapton. I do a guitar solo in the live show which is long, and some people may think boring, but I have fun. Clapton was my favorite. With his feel he'd hit one note where someone else would hit twenty, and his one would do something to you, whereas the other person's twenty would leave you flat.
