Michael Anthony: "Poundcake" live in 1992

So I learned to play the bass part to this song today. Very easy and a lot of fun to play. Those 16th notes really drive the song, and there are some cool fills, too. I have read that EVH played the bass on the original recording.

In this clip, you can hear Mikey loud and clear. His timing is excellent and I dig that Stingray tone he's got going on.

 
If that's from 'Live, Right Here, Right Now' it isn't exactly live. Ed's guitar was out of tune so they all had to re-record to the existing drums. Sammy Hagar was upset about this, and even went public with a complaint.
