Van Halen - Live Without a Net Reviews:
Best VH DVD
2009-11-17 - I have been watching this video since it came out in 1986. I wore out and broke the VHS, taped the tape back together and played it several times a year until the DVD came out. I like the Roth era stuff most but I was only 10 when 1984 came out. I had to become a Van Hagar fan. My favorite track is 5150 (watch the stage lighting cues, great concert production). Shot on film, not a great transfer though, I wish they used the original film elements for the DVD but it looks like they used the old video transfer. I know somewhere there is an archive that has the original footage and hope someday they release the entire show. Rumor has it they shot 2 nights and somewhere there must be 2 full shows on film of the New Haven shows. Anyway LWAN captures the band raw and live showing the best live band of the 80's at their peak. for a Van Hagar era fan this is as good as it gets.

Fun, Fun, Fun
2009-09-19 - Having seen VH live several times, (with all three singers, no less,); I would have to say this captures them at what was probably the high point of the band's career. It was filmed during the 'Sammy Hagar' period and I actually was at a show during the tour which is presented. (was not at actual show filmed), but close enough.

Great concert, actually LIVE
2009-08-12 - I recently read "Everybody Wants Some: The Van Halen Saga" and was inspired to dust off this DVD and watch it for the first time in years. Several things make this a unique show. First off, the inclusion of 2 Hagar solo tunes (I don't even like Hagar's solo work much at all, but these 2 songs--especially "There's Only One Way to Rock" are sssssmokin') is at the very least interesting. Second, although he's nowhere near as good as Eddie, it's fun to hear Sammy play some lead guitar on 2 of the songs where Eddie plays keys. And third, this is early in the Van Hagar era, so they actually look like they're enjoying themselves.

Sammy's voice is as good live as it is on the record (I'm a Dave fan, but Sammy is a great singer). Michael Anthony's solo is ridiculous and embarrassing, but he redeems himself with some crazy high harmony vocals. Alex uses mostly electronic drums which leaves a bit to be desired, but he's perhaps one of the most underrated players in rock, totally overshadowed by the brilliance of his brother. And this is from '86, back when Eddie could really play.

Add my name to the long list of fans who now want a proper VH with Dave DVD.

Uh, Get Up and Make It Work
2009-03-25 - Michael Anthony's hideous yellow outfit makes him look like a moldy banana on steroids. If you are 39 like me and think Anthony's bass solo is kick a$$, then you have serious issues. It's freakin' horrible and embarrasing. Not to totally bash Anthony, he makes up for his outfit and weenie solo with his castrato-like background vocals on "Get Up". And a little more on the positive side, I dig the opener and Eddie's perpetual grin. Drink up.

Greatest version ever of "Love Walks In"
2009-01-20 - Sammy on guitar for Love Walks In is the greatest version of the song ever. Puts Eddie to shame. Sammy pours his soul out through the guitar.
