Van Halen – Live: Right Here Right Now (RSD ’23 Vinyl)
(RSD Exclusive, red vinyl)

Van Halens first live album 1993s double-platinumLive: Right Here, Right Now will make its vinyl debut on Record Store Day as a limited edition 4-LP set. Recorded in May 1992 as the band was wrapping up their massive world tour in the support of their classic, triple-platinum albumFor Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, the collection finds singer Sammy Hagar, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony firing on all cylinders and delivering over two hours of Van Halens signature hits.

LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW will be limited to 7,500 copies on 180-gram translucent red vinyl..

The vinyl collection has all 24 songs from the original CD release, plus three additional live recordings. This marks the first time that audio for two of the tracks (The Dream Is Over and Eagles Fly) will be released, as they were previously available only on the DVD version of Live Right Here, Right Now. The third, Mine All Mine, was recorded in the summer of 1993 during the second leg of the tour and was previously released as part of a European CD maxi-single for a live version of Jump. All tracks from the original live album were newly remastered from the 5150 studio master tapes by Bernie Grundman, who also cut the lacquers.

The new vinyl version of LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW is the first Van Halen reissue that focus on the Sammy Hagar-era. It also kicks off a series of upcoming vinyl releases spotlighting Van Halens time with Hagar, which will be overseen by the bands long-time engineer Donn Landee. Additional information about those releases will be announced in the coming months.

LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW debuted 30 years ago, on February 23, 1993. The collection peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold more than two million copies in the U.S. alone.

The group filmed and recorded LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW across two shows at the Selland Arena in Fresno, California on May 14-15, 1992. The result was a concert album packed with exhilarating live versions of Hagar-era hits like Why Cant This Be Love, Dreams, When Its Love, Finish What Ya Started, Right Now, and Runaround. The album also includes live versions of earlier Van Halen anthems like Panama, Aint Talkin bout Love, and Jump.

LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW gives each band member a chance to shine with Alex Van Halens pummeling drum solo, Michael Anthonys Ultra Bass solo, and Hagars acoustic version of his solo hit Give To Live. One of the shows biggest highlights is Eddie Van Halens ripping guitar solo. For more than 10 minutes, he lives up to his reputation as the ultimate guitar god with a solo that touches on some of his best-known instrumentals: 316, Cathedral, and Eruption.
