This set brings most of that show to vinyl and adds two extra songs, giving the night a fuller shape and a proper running order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly months into their new era, Eddie, Alex, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar already sound like a gang that has been playing together for years. The setlist mixes fresh 5150 material with Roth-era staples, and the energy rarely dips below a roar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummer Nights arrives with extra muscle, Panama gets a full-throttle reading with Hagar putting his own stamp on it, and I Can't Drive 55, from Hagar's solo catalogue, turns into an arena-wide shout. Eddie also gets a dedicated guitar solo spot, the kind of showcase that sent a generation of players home to practise, while Michael Anthony's harmonies hold the big choruses together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaw and gloriously loud, it's a vivid snapshot of a band proving that its reinvention worked just as well on a stage as it did on record, and a welcome addition to any Van Halen shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57097765159217,"sku":"603497804702","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Van_Halen_-_Live_in_New_Haven_CT_1986_2LP.jpg?v=1793120534","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/van-halen-live-in-new-haven-ct-1986-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
