Sammy Hagar has kicked off his long-awaited Best of All Worlds Tour with a 21-track set at the 20,000-capacity iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL, and Van Halen songs made up two-thirds of the set.

Hagar kicked off the evening – in the company of guitarist Joe Satriani, bassist Michael Anthony, drummer Jason Bonham and multi-instrumentalist Rai Thistlethwayte – with a version of Good Enough, the opening track from 1986's 5150 album, before performing two songs from 1991's For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Poundcake and Runaround. Hagar also played a pair of David Lee Roth-era Van Halen classics in Panama and Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, while a section of Jump appeared during a medley that also included Montrose's Space Station #5 and Chickenfoot's Oh Yeah.

Elsewhere, Joe Satriani's classic Satch Boogie was performed – a song Deep Purple played regularly during his tenure with them –  as well as Hagar solo classics like There's Only One Way To Rock, Eagles Fly, Heavy Metal and I Can't Drive 55

The full setlist is below, as are a number of fan-shot videos. The next show on the tour is this evening (July 14) at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Rampa, FL.
