80’s @ 8 Feature Video – Van Halen Live 1986 [VIDEO]

It was on this very day in 1986 that Sammy Hagar made his first live appearance with Van Halen. The show was in Shreveport, Louisiana at the Hirsch Memorial Colisuem. Their first song was the cover of The Kink's "You Really Got Me", which surprised me as that was a DLR/Van Halen staple. The full set-list from the show is below, courtesy of setlist.fm. And every night, they encored with a couple of songs, finishing each show with Led Zeppelin's "Rock And Roll". Check out the antics and the head-to-head guitar jamming between Eddie and Sammy from the tour in '86.
