Van Halen/London, UK 1980

From the 1980 European tour accompanying the release of the 3rd album ``WOMAN AND CHILDREN FIRST'', a complete recording of the performance at London's Rainbow Theater on June 23rd is a high quality audience recording that could be said to be A-rank at the time. In the past, although it was a famous sound source that was known from the analog era, only incomplete recordings were available, but this time it was made directly into CD from the original audience master owned by Taper, and the sound quality is excellent. In addition to being significantly improved, it is the first sound source that completely records up to the last song "YOU REALLY GOT ME." Above all, live recordings from this period have hardly been distributed until now, and from around the following year, Eddie started incorporating a lot of keyboard sounds, so fans who like VH, which is very reminiscent of early hard rock. This is a recommended item that can be said to be the definitive item. 1. INTRO/2. ROMEO DELIGHT/3. BOTTOMS UP/4. DRUMS SOLO/5. RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL/6. TORA! TORA!/7. LOSS OF CONTROL/8.
