3.0 out of 5 stars Not much different from the VHS release in 1986, September 18, 2004
By J. DEATS (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This DVD features the complete New Haven concert from the tour to support the bands first album with Sammy Hagar. Live Without a Net takes you back in time to 1986 when the second incarnation of Van Halen was still green; A time when the band was full of energy, fun and love for one another. A time when the music was the most important thing for all of them. Indeed, this is a different band than what we see five years later on the Van Halen Live: Right Here, Right Now DVD from 1991. Here we see Sammy Hagar even picking up lead guitar duty on the keyboard ballads Love Walks In and Why Can't This Be Love. In addition to that two Hagar solo tracks: There's Only One Way To Rock and I Can't Drive 55 are incorporated into the bands set as if they were Van Halen songs. In the not too distant future egos would inflate and each band member would exist as a island on stage, but for the time being it's 1986 and this is Van Halen in their prime.

Only three stars because there's nothing special here. No special features and the new DTS and DD 5.1 audio mixes could have been better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks like VH was fun back then!!, September 23, 2004
I've been a VH fan since 1979. The sheer energy they put form both live and on their studio works was second to none. Edward was the master guitarist of the up and comers and this DVD proves what he could do when he's not tanked!!. The band is having a great time and the tunes rock. If you liked the DLR years (and I do) but have a hate on for the post DLR years, you're missing a very good live DVD. Sammy was fronting the band at this point and time and he was a very good choice. Sure the band dynamic changed with him in and Dave out, but life goes on. VH in 1986 was a great live band with or without Dave and this DVD proves it. Sound is good as is the quality for the most part. If you like VH and you enjoy watching a band have fun live this DVD is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Van Halen or Rock DVD I've seen yet, October 3, 2006
As a prior Van Halen with DLR fan I was pleasantly surprised by the energy and tightness of this show. Sammy Hager is way better than DLR and I think he shows it here big time. Eddie has never been better and the 5150 song riffs are awesome and tight. Camera work is good too as they jump around in tune with the songs quite well. Overall just a great time and really brings back some memories for me of the great rock concerts of the 80's.

Sammy on guitar for Love Walks In is the greatest version of the song ever. Puts Eddie to shame. Sammy pours his soul out through the guitar.
