  • Van Halen - Live Without a Net is a live concert video DVD of Van Halen in concert recorded in New Haven, Connecticut in 1986, and released the following year. It was of their performance on August 27, 1986 at New Haven's Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The 90-minute release removed a few songs from the full performance. While the band attempted to record the previous night, audio problems prevented it from being used, although some video footage from that night would later surface in concerts video. The concerts were part of the 1986 tour, Van Halen's first rock concert with lead singer Sammy Hagar.
    Setlist: Introduction "There's Only One Way to Rock" "Summer Nights" "Get Up" "Drum Solo" "5150" "Best of Both Worlds" "Bass Solo" "Panama" "Love Walks In" "Guitar Solo" "I Can't Drive 55" "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" "Why Can't This Be Love" "Rock 'N' Roll" (John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant).

    In 1987 my brother rented this video from Warehouse Records for a dollar a day. We didn't return it for 88 days. My mom was pissed when we owed $88.00. It was worth every damn penny, haha. The best live concert video ever recorded.

    Ive been listening to rock N roll for 25 plus years and this is hands down, by far, the best recorded live concert ive ever seen. The crispness of Eddies guitar, hitting every single fucking note, piercing over the resonating drums, Sammys raspy-yet-soulful voice rarely missing key and Michael Anthonys delicate vibrato singing harmonies. As much as i love DLR and orignal VH, it doesnt get much better than this.

    Was lucky enough to be there for this show, and man...
    This is Eddie at his best, if you ask me.
    Guy was not only one of the best guitar players of all time, but his energy was always amazing & upbeat. Watching this today for the first time in probably 15+ yrs, and I'm just enjoying how much all the guys are smiling and having a blast doing what they all loved.

My OPINION only. The energy was there man.....Remember folks, Hagar wasnt exactly a slouch himself...Fucken solo in Summer nights gets me going. That was too long ago.
