Van Halen - 01 Unchained (Live in Australia 1998)

live at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Sydney, Australia 04/20/1998 featuring Gary Cherone (ex Extreme) on vocals

I saw them on this tour and Cherone was fantastic, he can actually sing. Notice he also knows the lyrics....

[WinterSoldierLTE]

Holy shit how did they not release this concert? Fuckin' great stuff, man. Gary got such a bad wrap, but he could do the gig. And look at Eddie. You could tell he missed playing some of the DLR era riffs. He's enjoying the Hell out of himself.

This is the best sounding live version I have yet to hear. Intense and aggressive

[patrickarnold]

I don’t care who sang with VH as long as Michael Anthony was singing backup.

[kevinnotevan]

Eddie's guitar, mike's bass, alex's drums...makes me come back to this vid over and over again. Their sound is epic here.

[grego]

I would have no problem with VH bringing back Cherone, he absolutely kills the DLR era songs. Underrated and undrerappreciated without a doubt.

[AustinOgonoski]

such a killer lineup. was never destined to last but the diversity in the setlist made these shows insane. eddie's guitar sound was perfect and they were playing with a drive they hadn't seen in years. i personally liked cherone's stage presence, these concerts are a lot of fun to watch.

[davidhall]

Mike Anthony's bass playing sounds phenomenal in that performance.

[ramonchaparro]

Jesus, Eddie is a national freaking treasure.

[johnnyzip]

Michael Anthony is a beast at playing bass! timing, singing and deep depth!

Was at the Perth leg of this tour and it was so emotional for lots of us long time fans. I saw a big Kiwi guy in front of me tears streaming down his face at the relief/joy of witnessing this gig. I can say it was unforgettable and Gary can be proud of his contribution too.

I was at that concert. April 20, 1998, Sydney Entertainment Centre. They opened with Unchained, and blew us away. The Gary Cherone/Van Halen era does not get enough credit, and Gary probably brought in a new sense of being, because that night, Van Halen were tight as. Thanks for posting.

I saw this live. It was in Melbourne. A great night.

Cherone was so on point and relished every moment and should of stayed in Van Halen. He neighbour the best in Eddie...

RIP Eddie

[williamquick]

Thank God for Michael Anthony! he is without a doubt the glue of that band.

[prabhathpshetty]

Cherone killing it on the vocals, Eddie's guitar are on another level....Love the loud mix..

[galaxieman]

As much as I despise the VH3 album, Cherone does the old songs justice.

[jayshomer]

I was at the Brisbane show. My first VH concert !

[thomaspartin]

The best part about Gary in van halen, he didn't have a giant ego! He would sing anything from any albums, roth or hagar era. Van halen should have kept Gary, he blew sammy and Dave away!! R.I.P eddie! ❤️

[joen]

Out of all the songs done in that concert....this is the best! You can hear everyone singing good harmonies. That energy on the stage...yah baby!

[skottyo]

Cherone is killing it in this live show!!! He got a bad wrap. I'm impressed.
