Notes:
Here we have a totally unheard, uncirculated soundboard recording, capturing the Van Halen concert in St. Louis during their Diver Down tour (Hide Your Sheep tour) in 1982. Not even an audience recording of this show has circulated previously.

At the very end of Where Have All The Good Times Gone, Dave abruptly ends the song to act out one of his rarer routines about people throwing things on the stage. The act seems to be prompted by a legitimate mess being made, but when it happens Dave always likes to play it up. In this case in St. Louis, he doesn't throw in the "I know who it is, and after the show I'm gonna f your girlfriend" line, which later on in the tour is a standard part of this routine.

The first side of the 90 minute master tape ends right after Secrets, and luckily Roy flipped the tape quickly enough to not miss anything in between. The second side of the master tape ends near the end of D.O.A., so is sadly yet another incomplete recording of the song, and ultimately is missing Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, Bottoms Up, You Really Got Me, and Happy Trails.

Huge thanks to those who significantly helped with the absurd pricetag that was required to liberate this VH collection, most of which would've been impossible to save otherwise.

Enjoy the music and be grateful we are able hear these special recordings. If you have uncirculated tapes, please consider sharing them before they end up forever lost to time.
