The September 26 show at Dolby Live featured Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Kenny Aronoff as Hagar closed the two-year Van Halen-centered chapter
Sammy Hagar brought his Van Halen-focused Best of All Worlds shows to an end on September 26 with a 19-song finale at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. The performance closed a concert concept Hagar originally launched in 2024 to celebrate the Van Halen catalog alongside material from his solo career, Montrose and other projects.
Hagar marked the occasion by opening with “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight.”, the 2025 song he co-wrote with Joe Satriani as a tribute to Eddie Van Halen. He then moved directly into the Van Halen songs “Why Can’t This Be Love” and “Top of the World.”
The final Best of All Worlds set leaned heavily on Van Halen material, including “Best of Both Worlds,” “Mine All Mine,” “Humans Being,” “5150,” “Love Walks In,” “Right Now,” “Cabo Wabo” and “Panama.” Hagar also revisited Montrose with “Bad Motor Scooter” and his solo catalog with “There’s Only One Way to Rock,” “Heavy Metal,” “I Can’t Drive 55” and the closing “Eagles Fly.”
The band featured former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani and drummer Kenny Aronoff. Hagar, Anthony, Satriani and Aronoff took a final bow together after “Eagles Fly,” bringing the Best of All Worlds run to its conclusion.

Hagar recently told Eddie Trunk that he is ready to move beyond concerts built primarily around his Van Halen years, although he has made clear that he does not intend to stop performing Van Halen songs altogether. He has said he wants future shows to draw more deeply from his Montrose and solo catalogs while pursuing other projects.
