Sammy Hagar is releasing an album compiled from The Best of All Worlds Tour Stays in Vegas nine-date residency he did this past spring at the Dolby Live at Park MGM.
Featuring The Best of All Worlds Band — Michael Anthony (bass, vocals), Joe Satriani (guitar), Kenny Aronoff (drums) and Rai Thistlethwayte (keyboards, vocals, guitar) — Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band – The Residency contains 19 songs. The first two are out now — “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight,” his tribute to Eddie Van Halen, and a cover of Van Halen‘s “Summer Nights”.
Hagar says, “’Summer Nights’ was one of the first songs we wrote for the 5150 record, on our very first day in the studio. Eddie 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. 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.”
Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band – The Residency will be released on October 10th, three days before Sammy’s 78th birthday on the 13th.
