Sammy Hagar was feelin’ the love for Van Halen’s OU812 album today. To celebrate the album’s 35th anniversary, he posted a video of Van Halen performing the album’s biggest hit, “When It’s Love”, live in Oakland, California, during the band’s 1995 ‘Balance’ tour.

Sammy and Michael also shared their thoughts on the song:

Sammy: “When It’s Love” was the first song we wrote and recorded for OU812. It was the first single and it was a top-five hit. certainly one of my favorite love songs of all time, I can’t tell you how many fans have said they played it at their wedding.

Michael: It was a great song to play live!
