Sammy Hagar-Loud & Clear (1980)

By the time Sammy Hagar became part of the hard rock band Van Halen, replacing David Lee Roth, he already had a long career behind him that had begun 12 years earlier as a member of the American band Montrose along with Ronnie Montrose with the which recorded two excellent works such as "Montrose" (73) and "Paper Money "(74).
From there a meteoric solo career begins, publishing worthy works of good hard rock and American rock; "Nine on a ten scale" (76) "Street Machine" (79), "Danger Zone" (80), "Three lock box" (82) or "Cosmid Universal Fashion" (2008) among others.
In 1980 the direct "Loud & Clear" was published, a reissue of the direct "All Night Long", published a few years before, which included part of some superb and tremendous performances by the guitarist in San Antonio, San Bernardino, Santa Cruz and Santa Monica ( San Francisco) during the year 1978.
Among the tracks on this live album is an impressive electrified version of Donovan's legendary "Young Gilrs Blues".
But it also contained incendiary songs like the fast-paced "Red", the melodic "I've Done Everything For You" or the frantic "Bad Motor Scooter".
