A (former) buddy of mine recorded this show while a member of the VH crew.
WOODA remastered it…along with a handful of other early gigs…not the least of which is the now-infamous
NIGHTMARE BEFORE HALLOWEEN. With the much-deserved success of Greg Renoff’s literary and historic masterpiece
VAN HALEN RISING…I thought it would be a good time to bring some of these early shows to surface.

Among the highlights of this show…

I should point out that the boys are introduced by legendary KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer

LET’S GET ROCKIN’ winds up being OUTTA SPACE on A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUTH.

SHOW YOUR LOVE is, of course, I’M THE ONE.

I LIVE WITH FOOLS, later FOOLS, features the origin of Dave’s “THE STORY OF JOE”…which became a regular part
of the 1979 tour.

As I have no desire to dismantle my case and mangle the covers I’m including jpegs of the original cover art from vhboots.com
