The live recording of "Right Now" captures Van Halen during their "Balance" tour, which took place in support of their 1995 album titled "Balance." This album marked a significant point in the band's evolution, as it was their last studio effort with lead vocalist Sammy Hagar. "Balance" included hits such as "Can't Stop Lovin' You" and "Seventh Seal," and showcased a more mature sound characterized by introspective lyrics and sophisticated arrangements. This period was noteworthy for Van Halen as they navigated the complexities of their lineup and artistic direction, ultimately leading to internal tensions that would affect their future. The "Balance" tour allowed the band to highlight their impressive musicianship, and the vibrant energy captured in live performances like "Right Now" reinforced Van Halen's status as one of the premier rock bands of the era.
