Watching this as I work, finishing Page 1 of Issue 4 of Batman: The Dark Knight.

"Look at all the people here tonight!"

I have to laugh because I've heard Dave's "Rap" so many times from countless other VH concerts that I can recite it word for word, even down to the midget walking out and handing him a bottle of Jack to chug.

Ha.

Cathedral!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

I had to stop work and put the pen down when Eddie's solo came on. It's a moment where you gotta watch what he is doing, kick up the feet and enjoy it. For those that looked at the Set List and say "where's Eruption?" Well, there are parts of Eruption scattered throughout his Solo Spotlight. But you're not gonna get the song intact as it was recorded on the album.

Van Halen (Live In Largo - 1982)



The quality is pretty bad. It's what you would call a vintage bootleg, never made for the buying public, at least not to my knowledge it wasn't. The audio has bad mixing problems and the video is grainy. The show itself is about as by-the-book-rehearsed as you're gonna get from VH. This was during the Diver Down Tour and I've seen a handful of different shows to know which ones are good and which are great. Although the crowd was into it and Dave was doing his thang, I prefer the US Festival Concert because it has a certain energy that this one doesn't have. So, this one was above average to me.

I can't complain about the Set List because it's all good in my book.

Hehehehehehe. Awesome. Now all they have to do is released the phucking album they have been mixing for what seems like 2 years already.

Actually, this album has taken longer than Chinese Democracy to come out. If you do the math, the last VH record to hit the shelves was...

1998!!!

What the phuck!
