Good news! You’ll be able to grab Van Halen‘s first live album, ’93’s double-platinum “Live: Right Here, Right Now”, on 180-gram 4LP black vinyl, as of February 23!

The band recorded the album in May ’92 after wrapping up a huge world tour supporting their triple-platinum album, “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge”.

And while the album was recorded from a ’92 show in Fresno, California, there are some studio fixes, as singer Sammy Hagar admits, “The problem was they re-recorded almost the entire live album, because Eddie was out of tune, or Al had sped up or slowed down. They fixed everything. Only now that Eddie was playing in tune, my singing’s off-key. And where Al sped up in “Runaround”, now I’m singing ahead of the beat. Now I had to go back in the studio and redo all my vocals. I wanted to kill those guys. They put me in a room with the video of the concert, gave me my microphone, and I stood there and sang the whole fucking concert one time through. Just like it was a live performance.”

On the 4LP black vinyl, there’s the original 24 songs from the CD release, with three additional live recordings, including “The Dream Is Over” and “Eagles Fly” and “Mine All Mine”.

You can pre-order at the Van Halen store.
