Sammy Hagar kicked off the Best of All Worlds Tour in West Palm Beach, Florida, Saturday night in a show where 15 of the 21 songs were from the Van Halen catalogue, three of which were from the David Lee Roth era.
Surrounding the Red Rocker was long time friends and talented bandmates Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Joe Satriani who have played with Sammy in various groups from Chickenfoot to The Circle.
Sammy can still sing, Michael Anthony continues to be a secret weapon on backing vox and bass, Bonham is as solid as ever, and Satriani (who celebrated his 68th birthday Saturday) completely shreds in a way that pays tribute to Eddie Van Halen without losing Joe’s soaring spaceman style.
One of the highlights of the show, was also the most unnecessary, and that was six songs into the set when Satriani and Bonham broke into the classic Van Halen tune “Panama.”
