Sammy Hagar Releasing New Live Album…Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band: The Residency, a hit-filled live album captured during the acclaimed 2025 Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, is set for release on October 10, 2025. Featuring Sammy and The Best of All Worlds Band—Michael Anthony (bass, vocals), Joe Satriani (guitar), Kenny Aronoff (drums), and Rai Thistlethwayte (keyboards, guitar, vocals) the live album captures 19 high-octane live tracks celebrating Sammy’s legendary catalog, including the deepest dive into his tenure with Van Halen in more than 20 years.The first advance track, “Summer Nights (Live),” is out now on all DSPs, and album pre-orders are live today via Big Machine Rock.
“‘Summer Nights’ was one of the first songs we wrote for the 5150 record, on our very first day in the studio. Eddie played me that guitar riff and I just started singing ‘summer nights and my radio,’ and the rest of the lyrics just came out like a river of consciousness. I don’t think there’s a better theme song for a beautiful summer night, so it had to be the first track this summer from the live album.” -Sammy
