Van Halen - 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love' Live Performance at New Haven Coliseum

Venue: New Haven Coliseum Location: New Haven, CT, United States Date: August 27, 1986

The live recording of "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" from August 27, 1986, captures Van Halen at a pivotal point in their career just after the release of their album "5150," which came out in March 1986. This album was notable for being the first to feature vocalist Sammy Hagar, marking a significant shift in the band's lineup and sound. The band's transition to this new era was well-received, with "5150" achieving commercial success and spawning several hit singles, including "Why Can't This Be Love." The performance at the New Haven Coliseum was part of the "5150 Tour," showcasing their energetic live shows and solidifying Hagar's role as the frontman. Interestingly, "Live Without a Net," which was released later that year, was the first full-length concert video by Van Halen, making this period not only a time of change but also a significant moment in their legacy as a live performance powerhouse.
