kite (2009)	http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=509814 got this awhile back…seen it wasn’t on the tracker, thought I’d re-up. Thanks to original poster !! Van Halen Pacific Coliseum Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada April 18, 1979 “Happy B-Day Lighting Guy!” Gross: $112,195 Attendance: 13,200 (not a sellout) Average Ticket Price: $8.50 Support: Eddie Money / Robert Fleischman 1stgen>cd-r>SonyTCWE435>PioneerPDR-O4>CDR>EAC>WAV>Trader’sLittleHelper>FLAC Quality: A- Light Up the Sky (sound improves at 2:24 mark) Somebody Get Me a Doctor Drum solo Runnin’ with the Devil (master tape hiccup at 1:59 mark) Dance The Night Away Beautiful Girls On Fire Bass Solo You’re No Good Jamie’s Cryin’ Feel Your Love Tonight Outta Love Again Ice Cream Man Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love Guitar Solo D.O.A. You Really Got Me Bottoms Up! Notes: Surprise! With the boys playing Vancouver on the current tour a few of us old school traders thought it would be fun to bust this gem out from the same town 32 years ago. The sound here is really good, and rivals the Fresno 3-25-79 recording. It starts off a bit rought, but it seems the taper turned his mic toward the stage and the sound gets and stays better from the middle of the first song out. There is small master tape issue on “Running With the Devil” but not too bad. Enjoy this historic analog recording and let’s hope the Vancouver May 7 shows up here soon. http://www.kite-trading.nl kiteQuote

thismusicsux (581)	This is most likely the best quality 1979 show (or close to it). Love this one. thismusicsuxQuote

single-8 (222)	thismusicsux: This is most likely the best quality 1979 show (or close to it). Love this one. there must be some very poor versions of 3/25/79 floating around to say this “rivals fresno” or “best quality 79″..not a bad recording though S8S single-8Quote

But I think this Vancouver show has a very full, deep sound to it. thismusicsuxQuote

single-8 (222)	this show has a lot of presence, but lacks that bottom end punch and has a weak bass drum mix,because it is a distant recording…the solo on Ice cream man is a big letdown for me.. S8S single-8Quote

I do think the Vancouver recording is very good as far as shows from 79 go though. PanamaniacQuote

mrmojohalen (6467)	The is a great sounding show. It does NOT rival the Fresno show. When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor? mrmojohalenQuote
