Editorial Review: Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 06/08/1999 Rating: Nr Live: Right Here, Right Now Reviews: Disappointing  2009-08-12 - I have to agree with other reviewers who have complained about VH using (at least) 2 different shows and splicing them together. Too often, what you're seeing is from a different show than what you're hearing. It's incredibly distracting, especially when the video & audio don't match exactly. I can see recording 2 nights and using the best performances from each night, but why in the world would they use video from multiple nights in the same freaking song??? It makes you wonder how much of the audio may have been doctored up in the studio (since it doesn't match up with the video anyway, it could be from anywhere).
On the plus side, this was a nice reminder of how good some of the songs were in the Hagar era. I've always been more of an old school VH fan, but I have to give the Sammy era its due. It's pretty amazing that they had such huge success with Roth, but if you look at the track listing on this video, very little is Roth-era stuff. VH completely reinvented themselves and became a new band (and a very successful one at that) once Sammy joined. Even a Dave fan like me has to respect that.
One final note: watching this DVD I was pleased to actually HEAR Michael Anthony's bass. On most of the VH discs, his bass is buried in the mix. He's loud and clear on this video.
Red Me (not necessarily you)  2009-01-11 - Ain't no way 'round the system, long after it was cool, VH sparked nova heat in arena rock. Stay and add it up or throw yourself out a window, here's the mightiest, nastiest, tastiest tour ~ everything LZ is credited with, only wilder with sick sincerity. So close to too far, what a thrill, big blast, the last time, the biggest time. Nuts good! Not an easy art form in which to innovate, either. Sammy and Eddie ~ one of the most incandescent show biz partnerships, ever. They gotcha goin' in, they gotcha comin' out, if ya don't get it, you're probably konked dead; me, I'm all happy loud red. Personal growth is endorphin production, I'll give it a GO, you do whatcha ever need ~ far out.
Van Halen DVD Right Here, Right Now  2008-07-26 - Disk was supposed to have been brand new, but was scratched, and unplayable. Totally unsatisfactory. Would like to send this back for a new replacement, but the instructions say it cannot be sent back if it was opened. How do you know if a product is new if you cannot open it to find out? Looked like a repackaging of a used DVD to me. I am very unhappy with your service provided at this time, and will be telling my friends unless a replacement is sent immediately.
Sincerely unsatisfied,
Christine Johnson
One of the Best Live DVDs Out There !!  2008-02-14 - This DVD shows Van Halen at the peak of their Sweet Spot in Rock and Roll History. Great production and editing of two shows over two nights. You can absolutely tell that the band is having fun and rockin it at the same time. Buy this DVD if you like pure fun and true Hard Rock !!
Extreemly disappointed after happily owning the CD  2007-10-20 - After having owned the double CD "Right Here, Right Now" for a very long time I was ready for the DVD. I cannot express my disappointment enough by rating this DVD with one star because:
- The song "Why Can't This Be love" is missing from the track list (which I could have known if I had studied the box). I assumed it was on it because it's on the CD
- Between the concert there is interview footage with completely uninteresting information from all the band members. Which would have been quite OK if it was on the "extra" section of the DVD, not cut between songs of the live concert.
