‘Sammy Hagar & The Best Of All Worlds Band – The Residency’ will be out in October. Sammy Hagar has announced a new live album that will capture his band’s Las Vegas residency from earlier this year.
The former Van Halen frontman played nine shows at the Dolby Live at Park MGM in April and May, backed by guitarist Joe Satriani, bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Kenny Aronoff.
Now, it has been confirmed that the 19-track live album ‘Sammy Hagar & The Best Of All Worlds Band – The Residency’ will be released on October 10.
The first taster of the record has been shared in the form of ‘Summer Nights’, the track from Van Halen’s 1986 album ‘5150’. “‘Summer Nights’ was one of the first songs we wrote for the ‘5150’ record, on our very first day in the studio,” Hagar has said. “Eddie [Van Halen] played me that guitar riff and I just started singing ‘summer nights and my radio’, and the rest of the lyrics just came out like a river of consciousness.”
He added: “I don’t think there’s a better theme song for a beautiful summer night, so it had to be the first track this summer from the live album.”
