I promised You some rare Masters....This set of recordings from Van Halen's Legendary Hide Your Sheep Tour just surfaced at The Traders Den this week!! These 2 shows are very nice sounding soundboards. Hardly any audience noise is heard and you can hear everything going on on stage.

I will also say that David Lee Roth is in fine form on the 22nd but the 24th is a little bit drunker and slurring his words a bit. This is a classic Roth era Van Halen show. Van Halen always brought that Drunk At The Bar And Jamming Vibe onto those huge stages they took on tour. It was their stock and trade or modus operandi, it was what made a Van Halen show. It was an event, a traveling party that brought all the decadence that your parents warned you of, and you secretly wanted because of their warnings (Warning Labels Sell Records Thank You Tipper!!). Van Halen on tour in the 1980s was like The Rolling Stones on tour in the 1970s. You sat in the audience just knowing that back stage there was a Circus Of Unfathomable Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll Delights!
