There's Only One Way To Rock

Sammy Hagar wrote this song; the original is the second track on his 1981 Standing Hampton album. "There's Only One Way To Rock" is really the sort of track to which a studio cannot do justice. Five years later, justice was served. By that time, Hagar was lead vocalist with Van Halen, and in August 1986, the band made a live recording in New Haven, Connecticut (New Halen!), Live Without A Net. The show's opening was a veritable explosion with Hagar - no mean guitarist himself - sharing the lead with Edward Van Halen. For many fans, this is indeed the only way to rock, and the only way to start a Van Halen concert.
