Van Halen
Van Halen - Unchained Live Performance at Sydney Entertainment Centre
In April 1998, Van Halen was riding high on the release of their most recent studio album, 'Van Halen III,' which launched in March of that year. This record was notable as it marked the band's first collaboration with lead singer Gary Cherone, known for his work with the band Extreme. Their performance at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on April 20, 1998, was a significant moment in a year filled with transitions and experimentation for the band. 'Unchained,' a fan favorite, wasn't from this album but hails from the iconic 'Fair Warning' album released in 1981, showcasing their classic sound and David Lee Roth's original vibe. One can't help but appreciate how the band's evolution continued to resonate with audiences, despite mixed reviews during this era. Cherone brought a distinctive flavor to the band, highlighted in this electrifying live performance.
