You rarely hear people talking about Eddie Van Halen's brilliant piano playing. This is one of my favorite ballads we wrote for 5150. In 1993, Neil Young invited me back to do another Bridge benefit and I brought Eddie. It was so special and unusual. We had never done anything like this. Please enjoy this treasure. #BridgeSchool #5150 #LoveWalksIn #EddieVanHalen #VanHalen #NeilYoung #VanHagar Neil Young - Reprise Records | Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker)

"Summer Nights" was one of the first songs we wrote for the '5150' Van Halen record. Eddie played me that guitar riff and I just started singing ‘summer nights and my radio, that’s all we need baby don’t you know,’ and the rest of the lyrics just came out like a river of consciousness. I don’t think there’s a better theme song for a beautiful summer night anywhere in the world!!
