How They Went Back to the ‘Old Days’ In More Ways Than One<\/h3>\n
Hagar, Anthony and the band arrived at Blossom in a throwback fashion that went far beyond the Van Halen-heavy set list for that evening.<\/p>\n
Normally, they travel to the gigs on Hagar’s private plane, but last weekend, they did it differently. “There was an issue with the plane, so we couldn’t take that,” Anthony shared. “We popped in a van and drove here from Michigan. It was about [a three-hour] road trip. We stopped off at the truck stop and picked up a little snack. It’s like the old days!”<\/p>\n
Hagar and Springfield Finally Played ‘I’ve Done Everything for You’ Together<\/h3>\n
Unfortunately, it didn’t happen at the Blossom show, But it was quite the festive moment. While the two have done it together before (since Hagar wrote the song originally), fans wondered if they’d jam it on a nightly basis during the summer run — and they hadn’t.<\/p>\n
That changed as you’ll see thanks to the below video from Smash Machine!<\/a><\/em>, captured during Springfield’s set at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Mass. this past Wednesday (June 24).<\/p>\n As\u00a0the ’80s heartthrob was shredding a bouquet of roses across his guitar (one of his signature moves, as longtime fans will know), Hagar came walking out and presented\u00a0him with a toast, celebrating the end of their current dates together. He then grabbed a microphone and joined in on the vocals.<\/p>\n Springfield has fond memories of his early days getting to know Hagar, who was very pleased with the big success Rick had with his 1981 version of “I’ve Done Everything for You.”<\/p>\n “The first time I saw him after that, a couple of years had passed, he said, ‘Yeah, the song put my daughters through college!’ But you know, that’s his attitude,” Springfield told UCR<\/a> prior to the tour’s launch. “He’s always been a really good guy and always been good for a chat. Now we have a rum company together and it’s kind of fun. He’s a good hang.”<\/p>\n Watch Rick Springfield and Sammy Hagar Perform ‘I’ve Done Everything for You’<\/b><\/p>\n It’s more than just a tour name — as Hagar told UCR during Saturday afternoon’s conversation, he’s having a ball playing music with Anthony, Satriani, Aronoff and\u00a0Mercado.<\/p>\n “It’s cool putting together a band like this after you’re grown up,” he shares. “When you’re kids starting out, you put together a band. You try to grow up together and you all grow out this way and you end up breaking up. You end up hating each other. It’s inevitable. But once you’ve already done that 10 times [Hagar chuckles<\/em>] you get together as adults like this.”<\/p>\n “You say, here’s our purpose — we want to go out there and serve the Van Halen music as good as it can possibly be served today,” he continues. “That was Mike and I’s vision when we put this thing together. We need a Joe Satriani, we need Kenny Aronoff — we need guys that are that good. It’s so much fun, because you’re not sitting here going, Well, what’s he<\/em> thinking?”<\/p>\n The 2026 installment of the Best of All Worlds run brought Hagar and the band back to the touring trail after a couple of rounds in Las Vegas in 2025 and earlier this year. The current U.S. dates wrap up this week<\/p>\nThe Current Tour Really is the ‘Best of All Worlds’<\/h3>\n
