Best of All Worlds Tour 2024
I know many hate Sam, but this sounds like a good time.
SAMMY HAGAR, MICHAEL ANTHONY, JASON BONHAM And JOE SATRIANI Announce 'The Best Of All Worlds' 2024 Tour Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Sammy Hagar is embarking on the long-awaited "The Best Of All Worlds" 2024 tour. Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony (bass, backing vocals),Jason Bonham (drums) and revealed on Nov 14 on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show" that Joe Satriani, one of the best guitar players in the world, will complete the band. Produced by Live Nation and featuring special guests LOVERBOY, the 28-date tour will commence on July 13 in West Palm Beach, Florida and will conclude on August 31 in St. Louis, Missouri. Pre-sales begin on Wednesday, November 15 at 10 a.m. General on-sale begins Friday, November 17 at 10 a.m. local. For tickets and more details, go to RedRocker.com. "We're gonna go deep into the VAN HALEN catalog," Hagar told "The Howard Stern Show". "If you're gonna go deep into the VAN HALEN catalog, you need Joe Satriani." Although Hagar and Anthony normally play five or six VAN HALEN songs" on the road with THE CIRCLE, Sammy told Stern they are planning to only play "five or six of my songs" alongside VAN HALEN classics and deep cuts. "When we go out next year in July, it will be almost exactly 20 years since Mike and I did a reunion with Ed [Eddie Van Halen] and Al [Alex Van Halen] in '04," Hagar said. "Mike and I just said, 'We can't wait another 20 years. How long can I even sing these songs? How long can I do this stuff? I just thought it's time to serve the fans." "There's stuff we're going to do on this next tour that we haven't played since that tour in 2004," Anthony added. Regarding the challenge of learning legendary VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen's parts, Satriani said: "There are things that are so iconic, you have to nail it. But if you go deep with what he did live, he never played the same thing twice. He kept evolving; he kept pushing. He'd do the recorded version a little bit, but then he moved on. "It's a daunting task when you do the deep dive into what he did," he continued. "But it's good to start at the beginning, and then you just learn all his little improvs and you get the idea of what he was trying to do. It's thrilling; it's fun." The tour follows on the heels of the chart-topping success of "The Collection II", the box set released October 6 featuring newly remastered versions of the four consecutive #1 albums released during the Hagar era of VAN HALEN: "5150" (1986),"OU812" (1988),"For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" (1991) and "Balance" (1995). A reminder to fans of the arsenal of hits, many which haven't been played live since the band's 2004 reunion tour. Collectively, Anthony, Satriani and Bonham have played together in nearly every phase of Hagar's career including VAN HALEN, CHICKENFOOT and THE CIRCLE, so fans can expect a setlist which draws from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last four decades, including "Finish What Ya Started", "5150", "Your Love is Driving Me Crazy", "Best of Both Worlds", "Poundcake", "Sexy Little Thing", "One Way To Rock", "Right Now", "Good Enough", "Eagles Fly" and more. They've also enlisted legendary Australian musician Rai Thistlethwayte on keyboard and backing vocals. The tour represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this band of brothers deliver one of the most legendary hits-packed live shows of their career. "It's crazy to think that it'll be 20 years since Mikey and I played these songs with VAN HALEN on the 04' 'Best Of Both Worlds' tour," Hagar said in a press release. "With Joe on board, we can take a deeper dive into those years. We're going to touch on some hits from my entire career but seeing fans old and new really embrace the new collection set off something in Mikey and I. We were at my Birthday Bash in Cabo for my 76th and looked at each other and high fived, like 'let's do it.' We pulled out a couple of them and it was an instant lovefest with the fans from our first riffs. The music we created is going to outlive us all. They deserve to be heard so it's time we go out and serve the fans that music, while we still can."

Read the whole thing at the link, I just posted the review part....
5. Any additional overall thoughts about the tour so far? Rolli: I’m trying to refrain from passing too much judgment yet, because the tour just started and mediocre YouTube footage obviously doesn’t do the band justice. My main critique so far is that they’re playing “Judgment Day” too slow. Hagar’s sounding mostly solid, even before you consider that he’s 76 years old, and Anthony is absolutely crushing it with his backing vocals. Hopefully the band will continue to gel over the next couple weeks and we’ll see some tighter arrangements, quicker tempos and more onstage comfort. Overall, they’re off to a promising start. Hagar is a partial steward of the Van Halen legacy, and I appreciate him doing his part to keep it alive. Wardlaw: Any Van Halen fan can spend hours dissecting the good and the bad about the set list and the show. When you consider that it’s a set that caters to both the hardcore fans and the majority of fans who might only know the hits, Hagar has pulled off the difficult task of putting together a show that really does have something for everyone. Jason Bonham’s gigantic kit is Alex Van Halen-worthy, and the addition of Ral Thistlethwayte has added some fun chemistry to the mix. My favorite part of the night so far, however, is a simple moment: Hagar and Satriani recreating the guitar duel that Sammy once shared with Eddie on “(There’s Only) One Way to Rock.” That alone is worth leaving the house. Wilkening: It’s cool to see Sammy in front of a more modern stage show again. Adding a live keyboardist seems smart. I always wish he’d play more late-’70s and early-’80s stuff — “Trans Am,” “Love of Money,” “Growing Pains” — but I get that I’m in the minority there. https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news...ds/ar-BB1q1BmM |

I've said this somewhere on here in the past -
I saw Van Halen with Sammy on the 5150 tour (I believe) while I was stationed in Wichita. They opened the show with Sammy's "One Way to Rock", and the energy of everyone going nuts with VH playing a Hagar song to kick it off, and ****ing crushing the song at that, has not been felt since but for a time or three. It was amazing, and to see Sammy and Satch do the duel would absolutely be reason enough to go see it. I never got tix for this, but I may have to just suck it up and pay scalper prices to get in and see it. |
