Sammy Hagar's VAN HALEN number reprint tour "THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS Tour" has finally landed in Japan. The first report of the superb original recording has arrived. This work is recorded at the "September 20, 2024: Niterra Japan Special Ceramics Civic Hall Forest Hall" performance. This is the superb audience recording. The special tour featuring VAN HALEN numbers was very popular in North America, but in the middle of it, Jason Bonham left the tour for his mother (Bonzo's wife Pat Phillips) who had a stroke. The members were replaced and they came to Japan. In order to understand the situation around that, let's first take a look at the overview of their activities. 2024 February 22-25: North America #1 (3 shows) ・May 17+18/June 15: North America #2 (3 shows) “THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS Tour” *July 13-August 25: North America #3a (24 shows)《Jason leaves → Kenny joins》 *August 27-31: North America #3b (4 shows) *September 20-23: Japan (3 shows) ←★here★ ・October 4-13: North America #4 (4 shows) 2025 April 27: Indigo show This is the 2024/2025 schedule that has been announced so far. While there are many regular solo shows, the ones marked with an asterisk (*) are “THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS Tour”. At the end of the North American tour, Jason was replaced by Kenny Aronoff, and the lineup became the CHICKENFOOT tour members themselves. As a result, they also landed in Japan with that lineup. This work, which vacuum-packed the first day, is a masterpiece recording that depicts the "best" in a picture. In one word, it is "like a 90's FM broadcast". When listening with headphones, you can feel the hall sound firmly, but even that is filled with the beauty of balance as if it was a calculated effect. Above all, the core that breaks through the sound is powerful and the details are clear. It is too vivid for an audience, but beautiful for a direct-connected sound board... The balance and balance of such sound and edge make it feel like a radio. The high-quality sound that exudes nostalgia depicts the revived VAN HALEN masterpieces. However, that's not all, so let's organize the contents of the set that are too thick here. VAN HALEN (15 songs) 5150: Good Enough/5150/Summer Nights/Best Of Both Worlds/Why Can't This Be Love F@U＃C%K: Poundcake/Runaround/Top Of The World/Right Now Others from Sammy's era: The Seventh Seal/Can't Stop Lovin' You (★)/When It's Love Dave's era: Panama/Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love/Jump Others (7 songs + α) Solo: There's Only One Way To Rock/Eagles Fly/Mas Tequila/Heavy Metal/I Can't Drive 55 Others: Satch Boogie *Note: ★ marks songs that were not played on the "North America #3" leg. As you can see, the album features plenty of VAN HALEN from the Sammy era, as well as Sammy's solos from the Dave era. The point is that most of these repertoires were also played during the VAN HALEN era. The exceptions were "Mas Tequila", "Heavy Metal" and "Satch Boogie", which was Joe Satriani's solo time. This composition is basically the same as "North America #3", but the big surprise was "Can't Stop Lovin' You". In "North America #3", they played a medley of CHICKENFOOT and covers before rushing into "Jump", but in Japan, the medley was cut. It was replaced with a famous ballad that Sammy himself hadn't played in 17 years. And this was a great decision. It's simply a popular song, and the purity of VAN HALEN has increased, making the concept of the show clearer. Above all, it's moving. It's hard to believe that they only rehearsed for about an hour before the show. This time, Sammy's visit to Japan was under his solo name, and the lineup was CHICKENFOOT. However, the content was undoubtedly "that continuation". It was the third time for VAN HAGAR, 29 years after the 1989 "OU812 Tour" and the 1995 "BALANCE Tour". This is a superb original live album that allows you to enjoy the first day of such an emotional experience over and over again. The best audience recording of the performance "September 20, 2024: Niterra Japan Special Ceramics Civic Hall Forest Hall". The original recording combines the beauty of the sound with the strength of the core, and the listening response is like an FM broadcast. You can also experience the delicious VAN HALEN paradise with the best "Can't Stop Lovin' You", which was not performed on the overseas tour.
