Notes:
Here we have a totally unheard, uncirculated soundboard recording of Van Halen during their Diver Down tour (Hide Your Sheep tour) in 1982. This is the first of three consecutive nights Van Halen played at the Worcester Centrum in 1982. It appears that not even an audience recording of these Worcester shows have circulated previously.
Only two other soundboard recordings from their 1982 tour have ever circulated: a quite muffled-sounding tape source of the first Dallas show, and the audio from the Largo proshot house feed.
The first side of the 90 minute master tape runs out during Everybody Wants Some, but is flipped in time to capture Dave’s banter and storytime that followed. On the second side, the tape was deliberately stopped again following Dave’s acoustic guitar and singing bit, so we’re missing Ice Cream Man and Intruder, but the tape is started again right as Pretty Woman starts. The tape was likely stopped right here to be able to capture more of the end of the show. Still, the second side of the 90 minute master tape ends right before the band would’ve done the Happy Trails a cappella and the reprise of You Really Got Me.
This is essentially the raw transfer, since I overall prefer doing as little editing as possible. Besides, I am not the right person to be doing any sort of worthwhile mastering work. The manual azimuth adjustment was done by briefly listening to the tape playing into a mono feed, with stereo headphones.
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.
