The band, who hasn't played in Bristow since 1998, will perform hits from across their extensive catalog, including fan favorites: "Unchained," "Runnin' With the Devil,""Panama," the synthesizer-laden "Jump" and the Roy Orbison cover "Oh, Pretty Woman,"
But don't expect to hear any hits from the Sammy Hagar era. The rocker left the band in the mid 90's amidst controversy as the band increasing moved toward reconciling with original lead singer David Roth.
"Van Halen changed the rock and roll landscape forever with the release of their self-titled, 1978 debut album and subsequently produced a repertoire of hits that remain some of the strongest and most influential rock songs ever written that fans will admire for decades to come,"a Live Nation spokesperson said.
Eddie Van Halen is considered one of the most influential rock guitarists of all time. His pioneering signature finger-tapping style of performing has been imitated by generations of hard rock and metal guitarists. Drummer Alex Van Halen and Eddie's son Wolfgang on bass rounds out the legendary band.
The band has sold more than 75 million albums sold worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
" is the first-ever live album to feature original singer David Lee Roth," he said. "The album was recorded June 21, 2013."
