Van Halen - "When It's Love" - Live in Oakland 1995 - Van Hagar / Other Half

Last week, 'OU812' turned 35!
Sammy: "When It's Love" was the first song we wrote and recorded for OU812. It was the first single and it was a top-five hit. certainly one of my favorite love songs of all time, I can't tell you how many fans have said they played it at their wedding.
Mike: It was a great song to play live!

I remember being skeptical about Sammy replacing Dave. He turned out to be the icing on the cake. Hagar took Van Halen up a few knotches.

[@surfsunsand]

Such an amazing song!!!! I wish we could freeze time and stay in this era for ever. Sammy, great words, and vocals.. Sammy you are awesome!!!

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

THE MID-90S WERE THE VERY BEST YEARS the last great decade-

[@mattmacarthur520]

I honestly think they were at their peak in 95!! I mean man Eddie was on another level completely! Sober and sharp as ever . Can’t get enough of his playing or tone from this time period .dirty , but clean and cutting at the same time .

[@pauloalbuquerque7443]

rip Eddie Van Halen best guitar player of all time

[@peteyspaletas2023]

Love that Eddie/Michael harmonizing backing Sammy up.

[@wrathofall]

Alex needs more praise. He is one of the greatest rock drummers to date. I hold him up ther with Neil, Bonzo, etc. One of the best of the best ever!!!

[@keviningles5580]

Alix is my fave drumer

[@richardpalumbo6368]

Absolutely agree.

[@sunrisesunset7]

Overplayed this one though...

[@annaperez932]

Alex is a badass drummer. 👍👍

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

Back when rock was still magical ❤

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

Van halen...best line up ever.

[@chriskelly6559]

4 sure.

[@sergeantbilko7070]

When Sammy joined they made awesome music together at a whole different level.

[@stonecold5373]

Power Ballads will never die.

[@JohnnyBeane]

So awesome!!!! I was at that show!!

[@luisvillarreal5262]

“I WAS THERE!” - Robbie Stingle 😂

[@BeachCPA]

The best power ballad ever.

[@larrybenson902]

We played this song at our Wedding. What a special song, band and time - how blessed were we to see this live!!

[@rcarlisi63]

Sammy took Van Halen to a whole other level...

[@AmericanPatriot1776AP]

Great song Red Rocker/Van Halen. Thanks for the great memories.

[@bridgetortiz7520]

I love Sammy!! His hair always looked so wild and completed his look. His voice is still amazing after all these years.

[@keithmulcahy3417]

The best Van Halen , Eddie was and always will be the greatest of them all

[@FailingForFun]

We need more archived footage sammy. All VH content. i know theres so much we're missing. the full farm aid gig.. interviews. behind the scenes stuff.. please.. the fans need it before this footage disappears

[@misskittyny]

Still is one of the Greatest Love songs in Rock History, I Love it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🎶 #Iheartmedia

[@cmikesmith664]

I feel lucky to have seen them on this tour!

[@scottfast03]

Awesome. This gave me chills. One of my favorite songs growing up.

[@adamsajewicz7337]

What a voice! Live!

[@calzaondrums]

Alex was on fire on this one! One of the most underrated drummers of all time.

[@cmsb9011962]

Just saw Sammy Hagar in Hollywood, FL on 10/29/2023 @ Seminole Hard Rock, along with George Thorogood. Best show I've seen in years. They may be getting up there in age, but you'd never know it as they performed. It was a fun, and exciting time, especially Sammy screaming BA-BY !!

[@jeffreychoat4274]

Love seeing these concert videos!!! So many memories....

[@iggyfritz7150]

God this song is more relevant today then when it came out. All we need is Love And I always love Van Halen ❤

[@brandonkaiser8344]

I can only imagine the pristine tapes you guys have at home and in the vault. This recording is SUPERB. Bass is a little quiet in the mix, but everything is spectacular. I would pay for releases like this without a doubt.

[@davidhancock9229]

BEST rockband EVER,, it's a shame we'll never see this again

[@scottwhite2757]

Sammy’s vocals are amazing..

[@Fearzero]

Very flat and all over the place.

[@clarenceoveur9497]

@@Fearzero yep, for all the sh. he talks about Dave, he's very flat and inconsistent himself ;)

[@majidjon13]

he sounds tired and frustrated here.

[@cadufares]

I feel the same crazy feeling when i heard this song that i felt 25 years ago!! Absolutely fantastic

[@hollylewis5302]

Thanks Sammy and Mike! You guys are LEGENDS! \m/\m/ Miss you Eddie. ❤🤍🖤🎸👑

[@JohnnyBeane]

😊

[@stevehall6526]

Sammy Hager is the singer for van Halen , fantastic music, band and all time greats. Eddie was a true talent and a one off.

[@toothnail605]

The difference between Roth and Sammy is -- live Sammy sings `all the lyrics, lol and to `all the songs.

[@shanecopner7827]

And sammy can sing roths songs and unfortunately roth can't sing sammys

[@toothnail605]

@@shanecopner7827 GOOD 👁!!!

[@shanecopner7827]

Thankyou sammy rocks

[@brunoBEGARANI-kx2ey]

In Paris,France, Sammy lost his voice,bullshit,my friends never seen the show ,it was in 1993,I think so,hopefully I saw them twice in 1995❤Thanks ,I was a lucky guy❤😂😂😂

[@Muhammad_Fachri_FB]

​@@shanecopner7827Yeah, maybe that's possible because van halen's song with Sammy had a lot of tunes that were little bit high. So maybe that's why roth didn't do van hagar song

[@jimmcdougall9973]

Such a great live version. The energy. The vocals. And the greatest guitarist to have walked this planet. RIP EVH.

[@Fearzero]

Vocals are very flat in many places.

[@MetalMcfly]

That guitar tone is RIDICULOUS!!! Anytime Ed hit a note you instantly knew it was him no matter what stage they were at in their career. I would do some serious shady shit to have this guitar tone.

[@JohnnyBeane]

🎸🔥🔥🔥

[@jtjt4827]

and he was ALWAYS smiling

[@jeffreysalter8111]

I think his old guitar tech is on YT and he tells all it’s amazing to watch and learn I’m not a player but I’ve watched 10 times

[@DKLabs99]

Keep Rockin Sammy! 🤘🏻

[@leesashriber5097]

EVH. Best guitar player ever!! Love this song. 🕊️❤️🙏

[@kodiakfamily8032]

Stellar! Each of them are on amazing. I love Sammy - what a voice. Michael sings ana plyas that bass. Alex - amazing drummer. And Eddie will always be my favorite - he is so good!

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

Just got this on vinyl. Now my set is complete! Tape, CD & Vinyl. 🤘🏼

This lineup was so in tune,literally. Just crisp melodies and amazing playing. God I miss Eddie! RiP King

[@holgeripsen]

Such a beautiful guitar play, I miss him so much. 😢

[@ricky4001cs]

As far as four piece rock roll bands go, VH is one of the timeless greats! Eddie notwithstanding. A great band

[@kathyleander5511]

❤ One of My Favorites. Thanks Sammy

[@ashleighburroughs3581]

Wish we could go see VH live today. Miss Eddie so much. The best guitar player of all time!!

[@mikecarroll4264]

Ever which side you're on. There is no doubt about it. Both eras of Van Halen have great songs. You can't go wrong with either Dave or Sammy.

[@dmr6640]

To think... Sammy was in his mid 50s then and still going strong today. Amazing!

[@leeclarke6855]

I think he was 48

[@azurikstone333]

I miss the good days before people sucked . This was the good days.and good music with feelings.

[@steveball711]

What a great performance! Sammy, you are a true rock legend!!! You are the only rock n roll singer that has taken care of your voice after all these decades. I don't no of anyone else who can still sing today, like they did 20 or 30 years ago. You just blow my mind at 75 years young! Keep on rockin'! Thanks for sharing the video and keep the stories coming. Tell us about how you wrote Bad Motor Scooter and what was going through your mind at the time. Or you could talk about working with the HSAS crew and the making and writing of that great album "Through the Fire" I thought hat was cool to see and listen to Kenny AAronson on that album. He used to play with one of my all time favorite musicians, Rick Derringer. Do you have any stories from the seventies about talking with Rick Derringer? Anyway, through the fire is a kick ass album that kind of fell through the cracks. Thanks for all the great music Sammy!!!

[@juliuskotorman2681]

Van Halen at BEST

[@margretholt4373]

Eddie the greatest never be another one but Alex is awesome beating on those drums the two best brothers ever eddie rip miss u music changed forever that day when we lost u but heaven gain a angel for sure I lost my dad Jan 2023 its the hardest thing I have ever been through probably the toughest I will ever go through

[@Rad1oMan]

I was lucky enough to be at this show! Whatever problems there might have been behind closed doors stayed there. VH tore it up that night! Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw "Shaw/Blades"" were the surprise opener! Brad Gillis came out for a couple of tunes as well. Epic night.

[@jonathanblock1359]

This sounds incredible !❤

[@thegadflygang5381]

It just kills me that I will never see Sammy, Michael Anthony, Alex and Ed live again. The Summer tour for F.U.C.K. I was 16 and wish I knew how good things were... to savor them. Thanks for the memories boys. And Mike and Sammy? KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!
