Live: Right Here, Right Now

Untitled

Live: Right Here, Right Now is the first and only live album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1993. The album combines songs performed over two nights in May 1992. The bulk of the songs on this album were from the first night, such as the solos performed by Eddie Van Halen and Sammy Hagar. There is much debate as to whether or not the songs on this album have been doctored in the studio, as the original 1992 broadcast of these songs from Cabo Wabo, were much more raw and unmixed sounding, and actually sounded more true to the bands' live sound, than the actual album itself. The album contained four David Lee Roth era songs, and two songs from Sammy Hagar's solo years.

David Lee Roth Era songs on the Album

Sammy Hagar sang four David Lee Roth era Van Halen songs on the album, being "Panama" and "Jump" (from 1984,) and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and "You Really Got Me" (from Van Halen.) You Really Got Me is stopped halfway through the song and goes directly into "Cabo Wabo", a Hagar-era song. You Really Got Me picks up again when Cabo Wabo is finished, thus making the two songs one track on the album.

Also, during the "316" track, Eddie breaks out in three instrumentals from the Roth-led years. Those three being "Cathedral" (from Diver Down,) Eruption (from Van Halen,) and the intro to Mean Street (from Fair Warning.)
