Live in California 1995

Product Description

This live archive from legendary American hard rock band Van Halen captures the group at their commercial and creative peak. Fronted by super rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen, the band stormed onto the scene in 1978 and went on to dominate the genre, overcoming vocalist changes and the departure of original bassist Michael Anthony, before their final era of activity in the 2010s and the passing of Eddie Van Halen in 2020.

Powered by the multi‑platinum success of the 1984 album “1984,” Van Halen achieved a streak of U.S. No.1 albums (excluding live releases). The 1995 studio album “Balance” debuted at No.1 on the U.S. album chart and earned triple platinum status, followed by the global “Balance Tour.” This live album presents the complete October 15, 1995 Irvine, California show—the final North American date—originally recorded and broadcast for U.S. PBS-TV, now fully released using the original broadcast audio, including encores and solo performances.

Showcasing a mature, powerful lineup, this performance stands as the final official live document featuring vocalist Sammy Hagar, making it an exceptionally valuable collector’s title. This is an imported disc with Japan domestic-style specifications, including Japanese-style obi and English liner notes with Japanese translation.
