Live: Right Here, Right Now. is the one and only live album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1993. The album combines songs performed over two nights in May 1992 at the Selland Arena in Fresno, CA. The bulk of the songs on this album were from the first night, such as the solos performed by Eddie Van Halen and Sammy Hagar.

I'll say upfront Van Hagar isn't my favorite VH lineup, which explains why it took me ten years to discover this jem. The songs really grew on me by the third viewing. It was filmed during the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge tour, so no surprise it contains nearly every song from this CD. Thats not the main reason to buy this DVD. Eddie is in great form. If you are a fan of guitar virtuosos performing great songs it simply doesn't get any better. I had to respond to the other review. I didn't hear a single "bum" note, and the energy level is amazing.The only negative is the video editing. For no apparent reason there are edits between two different concerts every few seconds - it's only noticeable due to the wardrobe changes. Half the time the video does not match the audio (by definition). No reason why an entire song can't be from the same night. Hyperactive MTV-style editing aside, this is a great concert DVD.

Definitely the best Van Halen DVD. Video Hits was good (not enough David Lee Roth), Live Without A Net was bearable (sound wasn't great. kind of a softer side of Van Halen). Live Right Here, Right Now is the best. After two albums (OU812 and 5150) Van Halen finally returned to their metal sound. True, it would never be the same with Diamond Dave out of the picture. This has a lot of songs from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and some old hits like When It's Love and Jump. It's not the best concert footage I've ever seen or anything, but as far as Van Halen DVDs go it gets a ten. The truth is they haven't put out that much and I'm sure most of us are sitting at home hoping that some old footage featuring David Lee Roth will get thrown on a DVD. No offense Sammy. It's a pity metal's greatest group never put out a concert video with their best singer.

I loved the "Live Without A Net" video, so when RHRN came out I rushed to buy it, man what a dis-apointment. The whole thing is cobbled together from multiple evenings concerts so it doesn't flow in any way, there's no dialogue between songs to give the viewer the real concert atmosphere and the number of bum notes EVH hits during his solo were scary! For some reason too, the video is full of awful special effects including split screens which just mess it up. The whole thing is badly lit, badly filmed, badly editted and simply sucks.

This DVD gives me mixed emotions. On the one hand it resembles a great summary of the Sammy Hagar-Era, on the other hand there are two major turn-offs: First is the poor picture quality. There are visible MPEG-artefacts in the dark picture areas (which is a major part in a rock concert). Second turnoff is, that the performance consists obviously of two different shows. Note that Sammy Hagars outfit changes eventually. Summary: good concert, poor picture.
