Gauges) Sound: Digitech BP-8 Valve Preamp/Processer (Compressor, Preamp, Equalizer) Bass Signal: Rapco Horizon Company DB-1 High to Low Impedance Converter Mixer: Phonic AM240 Camera: Canon FS200 Standard Tuning “Dreams“ is a song by Van Halen released in 1986 from the album 5150. It was the second single from that album, and it reached #22 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart that year. “Dreams“ also appeared on the soundtrack toMighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie 9 years later, which introduced Van Halen to a new generation of potential fans. It was released in 7“ and 12“ single formats, the 7“ single featuring the album version and the 12“ single featuring a slightly extended version. “Dreams“ was written during the Sammy Hagar era of the band and has become a staple at concerts. It was performed during most tours featuring Hagar, including the most recent Hagar reunion tour. Even the Gary Cherone-headed tour supporting Van Halen III featured the song in their set-list. The song was also used to close the 2004 Democratic National Convention, played after the acceptance speech of John Kerry. It was also used as the campaigns theme song at rallies across the country in 2004. The song's melodic and inspirational theme has proved to be popular with fans judging by the amount of applause that the band receives on the initial notes. During an interview with Hagar for Rolling Stone featuring questions from fans, Hagar said that “Dreams“ (along with “Right Now“) was his favorite Van Halen song, with “Dreams“ being his favorite if you pushed him. The song was also redone by Hagar by his solo band, now becoming a slower more mature/serious song done acoustically instead of a fast paced rock song.
