REVIEW:

Wow, this is classic Van Halen from the legendary Fair Warning Tour. This is a mighty VH in concert in excellent audience quality but far from perfect, compared to todays standard  (but a great recording that, most important to me, captures the hysterical atmosphere of these shows back in '81). It's summer and everybody's crazy. The crowd goes nuts and eats out of Dave's hand. David Lee Roth is having a blast and you hear the enthusiasm the band was playing with in those days.

A stunning setlist with great performances (as far as classic Roth-era Van Halen can give great performances........ but maybe that's just me.....), the quality, a great package, the added radio commercial, the........ uh what can I say. Next to DGP's "FAIR WARNING WORLD TOUR" thé "must have" CD(-R) of the tour. It would be great if a label  would issue this on factory pressed CD, but maybe these days that's commercially not as interesting as it once was. 


The best toys are the ones that are both educational and multi-purposeful.
