The album includes fan-favorites “Summer Nights (Live),” “Best of Both Worlds (Live),” “Right Now (Live),” and “I Can’t Drive 55 (Live),” alongside sonic masterpieces rarely heard live like “5150,” “Love Walks In,” and “Humans Being (Live).”
Hagar reflects, “There’s nothing like the sound of this band and that Vegas crowd — the energy, the spirit, the friendship. The Residency is everything I love about rock & roll: loud, live and bad ass.”
The album arrives as Hagar prepares to return to Dolby Live in 2026 for new performances of The Best of All Worlds residency, March 11–21 and September 18–26, 2026. Tickets are available at RedRocker.com.
