Vic Johnson just killing it on guitar! At 73 years old Sammy is a better performer and has more energy than people half his age. Bonham and Anthony are phenomenal musicians. What a killer lineup!
Vic is much better than Gary Pihl did trying to play this song. Boston has never sounded right since Gary was hired to replace Barry Goudreau. Barry Goudreau music sounds more like classic Boston. Than what Boston's has sounded like since the mid-eighties.
I found out after two decades of listening to Van Halen that Mikey's the nicest guy on the face of the planet...and I then figured out why the Van Halen stuff that came out after 1998 didn't sound all that great: Michael Anthony's bass and vocals were gone. I read Noel West's account of the band's first seven years, then went and researched the stuff that went on surrounding Mikey's departure from the band, and was left shaking my head in disbelief about how such a critical part of Van Halen's signature sound was basically told to fuck off despite the fact that the guy's a wonderful human being. I'm glad that he and Sammy are playing together after Van Halen, having fun and genuinely enjoying each other's company. Nice guys don't finish last, folks; they finish best.
I was shocked hearing the backing vocals at the chorus - this sounded so much like Van Halen....I love the voice of Michael Anthony - no matter what song - his Voice improves every piece of music. And this band absolutely rocks, Mr Hagar! I also like the guitar sounds!
Damn that was the best version of 55 I've ever heard even with VH. Boy Van Halen is missing out so F'ing sad!!!! Keep Rocking Sam, Mike, Vic and Jason!!!!!
I'd say at this point, it's too late to make music together or even do a tour for Sammy, Mikey, Eddie, and Alex. As Sammy has said multiple times, though, it's never too late for Eddie and Sammy to be friends again or at least patch things up. Neither of those guys is getting any younger.
@@scottskinner577 Well, if it's any consolation, Sammy and Eddie did reconcile in private before Eddie passed away. Forget the band getting back together, these guys parted as friends.
BEST BAND EVER!!!! BALLS OUT HEADS UP HANDS DOWN PEDAL TO THE METAL, I took my son to St Augustine, Fl to see yall JAM last year and we are still there at the show every day since we saw y'all. Thank you for giving us a moment and memory that will live on forever, GOD BLESS EVERYONE IN THE BAND and Everyone that put that show together. SAMNY MIKEY VIC JASON ROCK N ROLL GODS BROTHER ,TRULY THANK YOU AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YALL AGAIN!!!BE SAFE BROTHERS!!!
@@nightstalker2217 the amazing thing is Sammy is such a brilliant business man. He basically puts whatever dream jam band together any fan can imagine and then does it again. He will never be irrelevant. First with HSAS now with Circle and everything in between. They don't even have to be on top form , because who in their right mind wouldnt want to see Neal Schon with Hagar or Jason Bonham , Michael Anthony, etc. Etc. Hagar says, Life's a short party, F it! Let's jam!
Sammy can still put on a great show. In fact, I’m going to see him this summer in August with my dad and one of the ladies from my church who are huge fans of Sammy Hagar.
I smiled the entire time watching this. This song came out after my sophomore year in high school. Sammy's 71-years-old in this video and still going strong. I love how Michael pushes the Red Rocker out of the way at 3:06. That was awesome. haha Those two are such great friends. Thank you for this video. It brought back a lot of memories. I'm sure it did for all of us.
Dammmmn! That's the best version of that tune I've ever heard! And it looks like they're genuinely having fun playing together. Sammy's pipes sound even better with age and Michael Anthony is entertaining A/F! Cool cool!
I’ve watched this like 10 times & I just can’t put a finger on what I like best!! Damn!! That’s a stage full of talent! Keep rockin!! Anthony kicks ass on vocals too!
Sammy and Michael are true red blooded American car guys,that's why they have always gotten along so well. Saw Sammy back in the day," Standing Hampton" tour. I was 12 years old,a friends father took us and I will remember that night for the rest of my life. Sammy Hagar for president 2024
Lord, I am 57 yrs old, and the Bands of my youth are getting old. Where has the time gone??? Feel same about actors & actresses of the Golden Era are also leaving this Earth, i.e Kirk Douglas and so on....
Its freaking awesome these 2 guys that ive been listening to almost all of my life are stil herel, still performing, still rocking and still sound great ! And I turned 50 in March , seen them in 86' here in Kansas City 5150
Iv never seen anything like this Sammy and Michael I wish I had have their energy and always a great pleasure to see Jason play I saw his father four times back in the 70’s.
Omg I ❤ this song I can't drive 55. Keep rocking Sammy. \m/ 🎸. When I hear this song I turn it loud and piss off the haters who hates him LOL LOLLL rock
love sammy hagar, and mike , vic & jason... proof that when you love what you do and have fun and just enjoy music. you get these results!! no tention no power trips just good dam music. and the people love these guys for their genuine love of what they do! and they do it GREAT. thank you sammy and the circle.
My first concert was Sammy Hagar Standing Hampton Tour back in March 24 1982, still have the concert shirt though it's a little tight now....Rock on Red Rocker!!!!!!
Sammy and Michael were meant to sing together! They have such a "great vib"... can't stop smilling every time I see they singing! These guys are the best! Great Musicians, Great Performers, Great Human Beings!
Man-o-man... Top shelf Rock and Roll Show! I wish I had been in attendance. Mike Anthony, has kept his Yap shut throughout all the Fiasco with the v h boys. All the while, being a very cool rock and roller. You got to love him shoving Sammy aside. I would love to see someone like Pat Travers or Robin Trower on stage with The Circle..
Man, I gotta say, it's so enlightening to just watch these Gentlemen finally get to let loose, just play, entertain, and have fun doing what they've always done and earned the right to do with no worries of the bullshit involved in the music/entertainment industry or have to walk around on eggshells out of..."concerns" or fear of backlash from one or two, nameless brother's lolololol, and their egos...I salute you and thank you for giving me hope that there's still reason to keep doing what I've done for many, many years myself!! 🤘🎸🤘
This ones for you VIC!!!!! When Sammy left Van Halen in the mid 90's!!!!! He chose the right guy to be his guitarist and still with him to this day!!!!!! Vic ! He's kicks ass!!!!!!!!
How? How can a man 72 still do killer shows like this? Red Rocker - KEEP ROCKIN'!!
Mark Conger routine nap schedule???
Tuning down a whole step..... :) But hey, at 72 that's to be expected.
100% better than Bon Jovi
@@brianjones8432 Yep....those notes keep getting higher and higher as you get older and older.
not from Steven Tyler or Paul Rogers no drop tuning for them!🎸
And michael anthony sound like he’s 25 man wtf its so fantastic
Man I wish I could see them live!
hes great...one of THE VERY BEST PEOPLE IN ROCK
Like I said don't lose Michael Anthony Michael Anthony Sammy Hagar chickenfoot are the best
Dunno why Anthony hasn't sung more over his career he's got decent pipes on him
Sammy and mikey clearly dont need the van Halen brothers...🤘😎
I love the dynamic between Sammy and Michael. You can tell that they are just a couple of good friends that have a blast playing together.
you see that too......GREAT!!!!!
Shame it wasn’t that way in the Van Halen days. Sammy and Michael got along but the brothers seemed to hate the others at some point.
@@Ever443the story goes that Eddie was jealous of the close bond Sammy and Michael had
Their harmonies will go down as some of the best in rock n roll history!
Michael Anthony’s voice is so distinctive for a background singer it’s as notable as any Rock n’ Roll lead singer. Great bassist also. Love the band.
Great performance! Nice to see Mikey step up to the mike.
Michael Anthony’s backup vocals and bass playing is top notch. Hagar still rocking in his 70s. Amazing!
Keep on rockin, Sammy, Michael, Vic and Jason. True rock at its finest. Rock ‘n’ roll comes and goes, but it never dies.
JUST CAME OFF 2HRS OF CIRCLE-COLD TURKEY MAN!
Talent, skill, and brotherhood never goes out of style.
You said it, my man.
Michael Anthony has always been the foundation to any band he’s played in, awesome! Sammy is Amazing at this age!!
...and that voice is VAN HALEN
Vic Johnson just killing it on guitar! At 73 years old Sammy is a better performer and has more energy than people half his age. Bonham and Anthony are phenomenal musicians. What a killer lineup!

Yeah but that chicken foot lineup is crazy good
Vic Johnson! so that's who he is. I am blown away how he can play lead like that all the while looking anywhere but at his guitar.
Sammy & Michael together = total awesome. 👍🎸
Greatest backing vocalist/bassist in ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY!!!!!
He's got tough competition with Glenn Hughes still around
Isn't it interesting that the guys who left VH are better than the current VH.
HOW TRUE!
How can you compare? Sammy and Mikey are out killing it onstage, while Dave is doing podcasts and the VH Bros are hiding in an undislosed location,🤣
@@grego7345 dave is also at ultra fest (kinda liked his spot actually).
Sammy doesn't need VH, VH needs Anthony that's for sure.
anthony is good i wish he had never left van halen
Michael Anthony still screeches those high harmonies like he did way back when.
It took me all these years to figure out the voice I liked the most in Van Halen belongs to MIKEY.
**lol** Right! I always thought he looked like an electrician, not a bad ass rock and roll star. The dude is awesome!
I agree. That background vocal is so powerful in the VH songs. He definitely made the songs great.

Sammy is the real deal.. still making music after all these years. Awesome!
Michael Anthony...what a strong voice...I want...need to hear more...
Take note young people. Ol' Guys Doin" Stuff!! :)
THIS IS ROCK N ROLL ALL THE WAY. I CAN'T DRIVE 55 ROCKS.
The eighties man. Best decade of my life. Wish I could go back!
I wonder if VH is having this much fun? Jason Bonham is a perfect fit for Sammy. Great to see these guys together and killing it!
John is the ultimate utility player of rock n roll. Extremely underrated talent. All star
@@ronniejdio9411 John who?
@@hugolafhugolaf John Bonham
Damn that was the best version of 55 I've ever heard even with VH. Boy Van Halen is missing out so F'ing sad!!!! Keep Rocking Sam, Mike, Vic and Jason!!!!!
Live Without a Net is the best version...Broken string and all.
The Professor Vic is amazing.
I'd say at this point, it's too late to make music together or even do a tour for Sammy, Mikey, Eddie, and Alex.

@@henderson023 it's too late now :(
Sammy Hagar and company. Still relevant and still playing music. That’s what defines them compared to “the other band.”
Stubborn fucks. God Damn i wanted to see the whole crew together before i died
@@scottskinner577 Well, if it's any consolation, Sammy and Eddie did reconcile in private before Eddie passed away. Forget the band getting back together, these guys parted as friends.

These guys play their heart and soul out every show
This performance has me smiling from ear to ear and in tears at the same time.i ♥️you sammy
Come on Eddie & Alex, wake up!!!
these 2 can still rock.
Sammy doesn't need them.
Those two must be shaking their heads.
Plain and simple Eddie doesn't need the money.
sammy reynolds neither does Sammy, he's worth more than all other members combined.
But, I'm not sure how Eddie and Alex can see Sammy and Mike out having fun and doing their thing and not want to be a part of it
Absolutely none of the bands around these days will be rocking this hard in their 60's and 70's like Sam and Mike
Doom eternal soundtrack
Mike & Sammy the best combo with the rest of the guys. Good old rock n roll. Awesome performance.
F VAN H!
@@moosifer3321 most definitely
That was really awesome for a guy in his 70's! The whole bad totally kicked ass and Michael Anthony is always on point with those Bass lines!!!
Be like Sammy....never grow up and have fun!
Patrick D. Clark That takes money
@@dday9257 Well the way I see it, you should have a blast while you're young. Don't try to rush your self to grow up too soon, if you don't need to.
Michael Anthony really lifts this song
@Richard Ceresa Correction: Michael Anthony lifts *ANY* song
@@Generalbas1972 great career move for Sammy ... VH not so much

Aw come on Dawg. Surely you bought tickets to see VH with Wolfgang on the cables lmao
Michael...Just DAMN.....Lov the pipes!!!!
Sammy Hagar Friggin Rocks!!!!!!! I love this guy. He has always put on a great show and his voice is always awesome!!!!!!!!
Sammy can still put on a great show. In fact, I’m going to see him this summer in August with my dad and one of the ladies from my church who are huge fans of Sammy Hagar.
At that age and still ROCKIN! AWESOME!
Amazing band yeahhhh👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍

God bless these guys still cranking it out amongst the futile dirth of what’s considered rock and roll these days..
Outstanding.
It doesn't matter who Sammy's playing with, Sammy Is THE VOICE. Great music, great band The Circle.🎸🎤
You all so cool. Just good rock n roll and fun. Know how bring people together. Be safe. Love your alls music.

Now this is a good time!!! Great tunes and a great band of musicians.
