Circle - Live (Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham)
Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony + Jason Bonham Announce New Live Album
Sammy Hagar will release a concert recording with his new band the Circle, featuring Jason Bonham as well as former Van Halen and Chickenfoot collaborator Michael Anthony. “There hasn’t been a live rock and roll album like this in years,” Hagar says, “and I know you’re gonna love it.”
A track listing and release date for At Your Service hasn’t been announced just yet, but setlists from earlier Circle shows — filled with songs from Van Halen, Montrose, Hagar’s solo career, Chickenfoot and Led Zeppelin — perhaps give us a hint at what’s to come. A typical evening might open with “There’s Only One Way to Rock” and continue through favorites like “Rock Candy,” “Whola Lotta Love,” “Why Can’t This Be Love?” and “Sexy Little Thing.”
Pre-orders for At Your Service are set to begin next week, Hagar said, and include a free immediate download of their take on Van Halen’s “Poundcake” when ordering through iTunes. Circle, which also features guitarist Vic Johnson, will then make a return to the road in April — with previously announced shows through September. Included are stops in Las Vegas, San Juan, Orlando and Lake Tahoe, among others.
At Your Service follows Sammy Hagar’s stripped-down Lite Roast album, also recorded with Johnson. That album returned to earlier highlights from Hagar’s career, as well, featuring Van Halen favorites like “Finish What Ya Started” and “Dreams,” coupled with solo tunes like “Eagles Fly.”
Hagar has worked with Michael Anthony off and on since 1986, first with Van Halen, then with Chickenfoot and other solo configurations. He’s played with Johnson since 1999, when the original lineup of Hagar’s post-Van Halen solo band the Waboritas was formed. Jason Bonham — son of late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham — took part in Hagar’s 2014 concert series, “A Journey Through the History of Rock.

ST. LOUIS -- The Red Rocker will be a part of Fair St. Louis.
Sammy Hagar and the Circle will headline the event at Forest Park this summer.
Fair officials confirm the band will be on the main stage July 3rd, the second day of the fair.

Sammy has always been a great live performer. If you get the chance, definitely go. It's more like a house party than anything else.
-
You've seen him? I've only seen videos, I'll bet he puts on a party show.
-
Really? Incredibly excited are not what I'm thinking...
... I have zero clue to who is Flo Rida or Lee Brice. I've never liked Eddie Money. George Clinton might be interesting to watch.
We now know some of the big names that will perform at this year's Fair St. Louis.
They include George Clinton, Sammy Hagar, Flo Rida, Lee Brice and Eddie Money.
Fair St. Louis organizers say they want to make sure there is a diverse field of options for everyone's musical tastes.
"I'm incredibly excited about this year's lineup," said Steve Pozaric, general chairman of Fair Saint Louis 2016. "We put a lot of time into trying to figure out a diverse lineup that offered something for everybody and I couldn't be more excited about how it all ended up."
Fair St. Louis goes from July 2 to July 4 in Forest Park.

Sammy I'd go see for sure. Eddie, if I didn't have anything else to do, I'd go. Flo Rida I'd take a pass on. He was at one time the flavor of the week (well, maybe a little longer than that) in the Hip Hop world.

Sounds great.
How the heck has Mike never gone bald??
Lol. Amazing Sam is almost 70 and still crushing it!!
-
Honestly, The Circle is a better band than Chickenfoot....and that's saying something.
Mikey isn't bald because he is still 23 years old.
-
I agree. These dudes are studs!! Very cool to see Jason and that guitarist. He's awesome!
Damn Mikey and his receeding hairline for NEVER receeding!!
-
I know. Back in the day....Van Halen 1, I said, Mikey will be the first to go bald. Nope. The KING OF HAIR, DLR beat him to it. Crazy how life is.

I will be the first to admit that the original version wasn't a song that I would, or could listen to. I hate the Balance album as a whole and the song was just "okay" for me back in the day. But holy sh*t! This version absolutely obliterates the original. F*ck! Sammy's voice is just unbelievably good. How the f*ck is he able to hit those notes at his age? Sheesh! Eddie and Alec are f*cking idiots to not do a reunion with both Sammy and Mikey. That is so much money being left on the table. FYI, Vic Johnson is becoming one of my fave guitar players lately. So versatile and so damn good.
