Summary: Van Hagar finally loses the plot.
Review: This DVD starts well for about 8 minutes and then slowly puts the watcher to sleep. Bits and pieces cut up to make up a concert. It's obvious to me that VH cannot play a concert through without things going wrong. Eddie's guitar solo piece is particularly disappointing as he makes so many mistakes. The other disappointment is that he has not written any additional original guitar solo work since the 'without a net' video. Shame Dave Lee Roth never released a live DVD when he was with Steve Vai. It would have made Van Hagar look like a bunch of amateurs.

Summary: EDDIE IS STILL THE MAN!!!
Review: This is a great concert. Like always, Eddie is truly amazing. I saw this tour live and the video does a good job of capturing the excitement. However, this tour can't compare to the VH3 tour. I'd love to see a live video with Gary Cherone's great voice singing those classic VH tunes. One live performance with Gary Cherone and you'll be asking "Sammy who?"

Summary: The best lineup in the history of rock.
Review: This lineup of VH is simply the best.Eddie is without question the best ever but people tend to look past the incredible ability of Alex,Sammy and Mike.Alex has very few equals in the drummer category.He is in a list of greats that include John Bonham,Vinny Caliuta,Buddy Rich,Dave Weckel,Steve Gadd,and Tommy Lee.Sammy is without question the single best live singer in rock history.The man truly has a gift.One listen and you wonder why people even care about the whole David Lee Roth issue.Roth is horrible live.Lastly there is Mike the most under appreciated bass player in rock.This videos editing is not so great.I recommend Live Without A Net.Filmed in 1986 this is one of there first live performances together and is a true testament to there incredible talent.

Summary: Director and Editor Mitchell Sinoway ruins this concert!
Review: Van Halen Live: Right Here Right Now is the absolute worst product ever put out by VH. It is even worse than VH3 with Gary Cherone. Director and Editor Mitchell Sinoway took two nights of filming and intercut them to supposedly get the best performances of each song from both nights. This in itself is not unusual in the making of concert films. The Rolling Stones have been known to film up to four nights to get the best version of a particular song. What usually happens however, is that the bands take great care to wear the same clothing on multiple nights to create the illusion that what was filmed occurred on one particular night. Sometimes someone forgets however and a performer is seen to be wearing different clothing from song to song. Although sometimes disconcerting, the viewer believes that the performer changed clothes during the course of one night to make a dramatic statement or possibly for an encore. Mitchell Sinoway ruins Right Here Right Now by intercutting clips from multiple nights within the same song! One minute we see Sammy Hagar wearing a T shirt, then two bars later in the same song he doesn't have a shirt on and his pants have changed! Two bars later he has the T shirt on again! This is the most annoying editing I have ever seen. I couldn't believe VH would allow this trash to be released. The song "Finish What You Started" is particularly offending. Every bar the bands clothing and the color of Eddie's guitar changes! This is not brilliant editing as another reviewer wrote, this is pure stupidity on the part of Mitchell Sinoway. He opens the video by the way. He's this fat pudgy guy with sunglasses who is kicked back in his chair with his hands behind his head. He goes on to tell us about all of his years in film. What an arrogant jerk! Why would a nobody director open up a concert video of the mighty VH anyway? Why would Mitchell Sinoway even think we would care how many years he has in film? We came to see VH, not him! This is obviously the case of a wannabe trying to weasel their way into the spotlight on VH's coattails. And then he goes on to ruin the video with his moronic editing! A lot of good all his years in film did him! David Lee Roth would never have stood for ... like this!

Summary: 1 DVD, 2 nights WHAT THE HECK
Review: VH is pretty sick. There concerts are amazing and Eddie's guitar solo's are unreal and if I were to base this concert on pure content then I would give them five stars because they flat out rocked!
To Bad I cant base it just on content because it is such a sick DVD. There are a couple things that make me slightly discourged and for that I have to settle on a 3 star rating. First of this guy named Michael comes before the concert and says that he filmed this over two nights. I didnt think this would be a big deal at first but after five minutes into the concert I saw how lousy it was. The members clouths are changing every second because it was filmed over two nights and it makes you sick at times! At some parts the audio and visuals dont match up so it becaomes awakward at times. It makes me pretty mad. Also there are no special features on the DVD version. I bealive they should have added a little somthing extra to the DVD version.
The music is great! Ed's solo is sick and actually Mike Anthony's solo is pretty solid to for a bass player. Sammy also performed "Where Eagles Fly" on an accustic guitar which was cool. They also featured songs like "jump, Runaround, Top of the World".
The actual content was awsome but I just got to annoyied at the 2 night thing and for that unfornetly I have to give it a 3 star rating!

Summary: Probably the best concert you will ever see
Review: What can I say?All I can say is:It's a Van Halen concert! How do they do it?Is it because everyone of them is an ultimate proffessional is what he does?Is it because they settle for no less than perfection?Or what is it?To me(and every die-hard Van Halen fan),the answer is simple:it's Van Halen! And that's enough for us! This might prove to you that Sammy is incredibly gifted.I think he's much better than Roth. Pros:*The direction(especially lights and cameras) is to die for.It's one of the reasons why you could watch this concert a hundred times and not get bored.Fine job,Mitchell. You too Daniel. *A Sammy Hagar pre-Van Halen song. *An Alex Van Halen drum solo(with a cute surprise at its end! But I won't spoil it). *A smashing Michael Athony bass solo! You will never look at a bass guitar the same way again once you see this part! *AN EDDIE VAN HALEN SOLO! This would be enough in itself,and when you add the other hot solos and songs,you get a masterpiece worth every cent you'll spend on it.You might never look at a TV screen the same way again once you see Eddie's breath-taking solo. *It's a "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" tour.That album had some of the best songs Van Halen ever did(including Man on a Mission,Judgement Day,Poundcake,and hey,IN 'N' OUT!) *The crowd was really cool and added even more life to the concert. *Brief interviews with some members of the band before their solos. *This might sound stupid,but one of the female fans really looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt. Cons: *The concert doesn't include all the songs avaliable on the audio productions of the concert.For instance,Panama,Ain't Talkin' 'bout love and other songs weren't included,unfortunately. *In 'N' Out doesn't have that ultra cool guitar opening of the original. The bottomline is this:if you always hear about someone named Eddie Van Halen,and you hear people say he's the greatest guitarist ever,buy this DVD.You might not totally agree with them,but you will definitely see why they say that.If you aren't a Van Halen fan,this DVD is the perfect start for you. If you are a Van Halen fan,I guess you could be reading this for any reason,except to make a decision on buying the concert!

Summary: Great Concert Footage From The Hagar Era
Review: While other viewers found the editing of this footage troublesome (as you notice footage from different concerts within the same song), the musical track is seamless, and I would hope that most viewers could nonetheless enjoy this professionally-shot film. After all, Eddie Van Halen's impact as a rock guitarist is second only to that of the mighty Jimi Hendrix, and any opportunity to see Eddie play is a treat. And, like Eddie, the rest of the band is in fine form.
