Best Van Halen or Rock DVD I've seen yet.......2006-10-04

As a prior Van Halen with DLR fan I was pleasantly surprised by the energy and tightness of this show. Sammy Hager is way better than DLR and I think he shows it here big time. Eddie has never been better and the 5150 song riffs are awesome and tight. Camera work is good too as they jump around in tune with the songs quite well. Overall just a great time and really brings back some memories for me of the great rock concerts of the 80's.

A Fun Show.......2006-05-24

This is for the VHS release to pretty much review what's on it. It's Van Halen's 1st tour (this being in "New Halen" CT.) with Sammy Hagar as front man. While I'm a much bigger fan of the David Lee Roth era of VH, this show was a lot of fun to watch. Since this concert was from 1986 all the "Van Hagar" songs are from the 5150 album; Summer Nights, Get Up, 5150, Best of Both Worlds, Love Walks In, and Why Can't This Be Love. Classic VH songs include Panama and Aint Talkin' Bout Love. Two of Sammy's songs; There's Only One Way to Rock and I Can't Drive 55 are also on here. And with a better band to back him up! Alex does a drum solo which was pretty much a piss break as I absolutly hate those 80's electric drum set ups. Michael Anthony's bass solo was pretty much the class clown act of the show with his Jack Daniels shaped bass guitar (and several shots of the real booze). Eddie's guitar solo was a compilation of all his instrumentals (Eruption, Spanish Fly, Cathedral, etc) from the previous albums and a sneak preview of "316" found on the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album (released 5 years later). The show closes with a "Rock n Roll" tribute to Led Zeppelin.

Again, this is a review of the VHS release as I've not heard good things about the DVD. If you're a Fan of the Van Hagar era then you definitly should have this in your collection. But even if you're a Diamond Dave era fan like I am, it's still a fun show

I went to the Portland ME concert. That said, I smiled throught the whole FN DVD! Nuff Said!

Best Van Halen video alongside with not released Sydney 98 show.......2006-04-06

This DVD shows Van Halen in great shape. Band is fresh andnew vocalist is really trying to show that he deserves to be in band.
So we can see great guitars and great vocals. There are almost all songs from 5150" album, and there is one Led Zeppelin cover!
What is more, no Jump (thanks God!).
The best thing is Eddie's solo, which is his finest i have ever heard, espesially those improvisations on "mean streets" intro.
Also very nice is part just before "Best of both worlds" when Sammy is singing and shouting and Eddie is trying to immitate it on guitar:)
Highlights: Get up, Best of both worlds(band is dancing all way long), 5150(Eddie improvisation during solo), Guitar solo. And of course "Summer Nights" - only one thing - Sam could try to scream longer during repeat of intro riff, just after solo - I love this part from album - riff, wild drumming and this long scream:)
And one more thing I don't understand - GOOD ENOUGH is not included, even though it was planned to be on it, one of the best VH songs
Anyway 5 stars
:(

Live without Annette.......2006-04-02

A sparkling concert and a journey back to the heydey of Van Halen (post Diamond Dave) in a remarkable concert that occurred coincident with the Chernobyl disaster. Even old Mitch Hagar can't spoil the festivities as the boys rope-in song after song from their oeuvre and play it to perfection. Hagar's melodic rant against speed-limits somewhat mars the proceedings as its simplistic style is several steps below VH's standards. But all-in-all this is a solid sonic outing from our boys and Eddie's ***damn solo is worth the price of admission. I bought the VHS 19-years ago and to this day Eddie still makes me say "hooooooweeee that moe foe can play that gee-tar! Tell ya wot!"
