Van Halen - 5150 (LIVE) (SUPERSCALED TO 4K) 🇺🇸

Like these upscaled videos? I’m not paid to do these but you could maybe please Buy Me A Coffee to show your support for my efforts! Despite the controversy of replacing Roth, the album was their first to top the Billboard 200. It was also Hagar’s first #1, as stated by him on the Live Without a Net concert video. The album went to number one on April 26, 1986 and 2x Multi-Platinum on May 28, 1986. A live video created during the tour for this album was released as Live Without a Net, which has since been released on DVD. The tour was a significant change from previous tours. Where Van Halen previously had years of material to work with, even on tour supporting the first album, Hagar was uncomfortable performing a large number of songs from the original lineup. Therefore, most of the band’s back catalog was dropped from the set lists. Instead, the shows consisted of almost the entire 5150 album, a few Hagar solo hits (“I Can’t Drive 55“ and “There’s Only One Way to Rock“), and a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll“; the band also played a humorous verse of Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love“ as part of “Best of Both Worlds.“ Of the Roth-era tracks, “You Really Got Me“, “Panama“, and “Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love“ were performed with regularity. Unlike Roth, Hagar was an established guitarist, allowing Eddie to play keyboards on some songs.
