Concert Review:
Van Halen in concert at Centre Bell in Montreal on March 15, 2012. Eddie Van Halen at the guitar, Alex Van Halen at the drums, David Lee Roth , vocals and Wolfgang Van Halen at the bass.
Photograph by: Marie-France Coallier / THE GAZETTEMONTREAL - Well, yer semi-good-lookin’… Amazing how an old ho can look like Liz Taylor in the right light.
It doesn’t even take much make-up or hair extensions. Just the appreciation bred by the years, for the band that was Bigger-est and most carny, most SuperBowl, Most American of its crotch-grabbing yahooing era, the ’80s. And now, this time.
Don’t get me wrong – despite all that writing of a New Grace in a recent column, David Lee Roth remains a hooting Vaudevillian, his band a hard rock boom-bah parade candy coating a kind of genius center, but burnished by the fondling hands of time, Van Halen offered their own kind of truth to a crowd ready to celebrate.
Ah yes. The VH had been unlikely from the get-go, with a smart Jewish baton-twirler fronting hard rockers and the dominant instrumentalist of his period, a guy with a smile of bliss and an atomic talent he put to the service of songs about stocking lines running up the back of a chick’s legs. So there was nothing unlikely about opening act Kool & the Gang cheering a surprisingly full quotient of the 9,000 partyers expected with Jungle Boogie, Ladies Night, Get Down On It, and Celebration.
Then with zero fanfare, Alex Van Halen’s drums were bathed in nuclear yellow, DLR was stride-waddling in leatherish pants, and Eddie Van Halen was cranking into a slower version of the Unchained that used to open their shows at warp speed, on a borderless stage, with the entire back wall taken up by the b&w screen. Simple. Clean. Perfect.
Eddie stuck close to home – his pedals and mic – for most of the evening, allowing you to concentrate on the sounds and be reminded of the illicit thrill of his virtuosity and bag-o-tricks. The Horse whinnied in Runnin' With the Devil two songs in, the Elephant blared, all the stop-time whammy-bar dive-bombing, and the gargantuan riffs.
Dave didn’t have anything to say – kidding, he never shut his yap, about his sheepdogs and cattle dogs and pickup trucks and “Little Elvis” – that was actually pretty funny, joking about a sex tape “nobody wants to see” and 180-ing with “No, in 1982, I was f*****’ good – Little Elvis was in the House that whole tour!” Thereby solving the ancient psyche riddle: you can be self-deprecating and aggrandizing, in the very same minute. Beware the Prides of March. Vocally, he was in fine bray throughout. He was… loveable. But he didn’t have anything to say about the VH reformation. That was handled last go-round, in 2007-8.
And he needn’t have said anything about the Meaning of the VH. You were pointing your ears at it, at a band that has reconciled itself to what it is and must be. Yes, DLR and this Van Halen that couldn’t be more Van Halen with three VHs in it, belong together.
Tattoo drew a big cheer from the crowd. Everybody Wants Some drew a bigger one, bookended with Somebody Get Me a Doctor in the early highlight. After the crazy intro to China Town, Pretty Woman and You Really Got Me, you saw the new songs would slow nothing down. Not when The Trouble With Never was setting up Dance the Night Away. I’ll Wait for the girls, the sonic roman candle of Hot For Teacher for everyone. You realized you’d been pulling for Eddie, and needn’t have – he was in top form and complete control in those fretboard calisthenics, and seated on the steps for Eruption, and unleashing the riff to Ain’t Talkin' 'Bout Love.
Cue Dave solo with an acoustic guitar and his charming ranch tales. “Who likes dogs here?” Really? It’s been a long winter, with all its unexpected trials. You figured you were entitled to this. Panama let the dogs out, and Thursday night on the Ides was Saturday night in mid-July.

Taped, digitalized and shared on Dime by finkployd49 (March 2012) SHOULD YOU SHARE THIS CONCERT ON ANOTHER TRACKER, please make sure to give all details, including my nickname finkployd49. It is not for my personal glory, but for identification purposes; downloading the same source twice is annoying! Enjoy the music, dont'sell it on e-bay.

OU Notes: First show of the new tour. One hell of a show with a nice mix of new songs, the usuals and a few surprises. I recorded from Ed's side of the stage. Section 104 row EE. It's the last row of the section, but that didn't stop people from congregating in the walkway behind me. It's a solid recording overall with only a little crowd noise at a few spots.
TAPERS BEWARE: I was expecting them to come on at 9:00, and they hit the stage a few minutes early with the house lights still on and without warning. I was already rolling, so nothing was missed. Enjoy!

Notes from Wooda: I won't rehash old news, but the version of these songs on many sourses most notebly Just Before The Eruption is junk. Since I was the source of the original tapes, I can now offer you what I believe to be the best quality you will ever find.
QUALITY: Try and Match it!!! Listen to Chevrolet, and listen to the soundman
dialing in the sound, incredible!
I think they may have been at their peak in 1975. They were tight and they were hungry! They played most covers better than the artists themselves. here we have

In For the Kill (Budgie)
Wildfire (Spooky Tooth)
Chevrolet (ZZ Top)
Maybe I'm A LEO (Deep Purple)
Brown Sugar (ZZ Top)
And We All Had A Real Good Time (Edgar Winter Group)
Walk Away (James Gang)
Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo (Rick Derringer)
Don't Call Us, We'll Call You (Sugarloaf)

Additional notes from dave: I know that there are many purists out there and most of these songs circulate from lossy sources so I used TLH and here is its report:

Notes: This is audio, not video. The famous three live Oakland tunes here played on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert in the early 1980s. I recorded this off a device that delivered TV audio like a radio. Decent quality in mono. Roth says here the Oakland stuff was from the last night, hence I gave the 6/13/81 if Roth is to be believed.

Notes: This is audio of the US Fesitval from a Westwood One broadcast. Thinking about it, this was the only live material from the Roth era the band approved for broadcast. The one hole in the legacy of CVH is that there was not a live album from the band. To compound it, no true soundboards after 1977 from the band have made it out of the vaults. Luckily there are some nice audience recordings.

OU: This originally came to me as part of a trade back in 1984 and was on two EMI C60s. I have copied all four sides and spliced them together in cool edit pro to make this complete show - Not sure what equipment was used so i cant give you the full lineage
This is a really good audience recording. I'll leave that to you to judge. The quality is excellent for its age and there are a few slight drop outs here and there (again,these are on the original tape).
This show runs for 1 hour and 20 minutes so will fit on one cd

Notes from the Taper:
Recorded from the back right corner of the arena, 2nd level, 6th row. During the end of "Unchained" I had to piss so bad I couldn't hold it any longer so I set my recording gear down on my jacket and went to the can. That's why the sound is a bit muffled on "I'll Wait", which luckily for me is probably my least favorite of the David Lee Roth songs! I'm sorry for this mishap all you hardcore Van Halen fans...

Van Halen: Zero Demos 1976 (FLAC)

Zero consists of the Gene Simmons produced 1976 Van Halen Demo tape.
1976-xx-xx Zero Demos


Sort of a lost album. Nice quality, good recordings, a few of which would be re-recorded and released over the first couple of albums. Some others were forgotten and yet one in particular, "She's the Woman", was tranformed years later from the party-good-time-chick rocker it was into the gritty-nasty-harsh-reality of "Mean Streets". Yea, those were not happy times in the VH camp.
But these evidently were the good times. Young & hungry and in search of that contract...
Source was very nice, just needed the touch-ups for my ears to give it the proper attention it deserved.
Many people have heard the two tracks from this demo, "House Of Pain" and "Runnin' With the Devil", and have commented that the tone is very different than the WB demos and eventual pressed versions. This is extremely evident throughout this set of demos. Eddie's guitar tone is far from what it was to become and there are several instances of multiple guitar overdubs. In some cases, there are as many as three guitar tracks at one time and some solos are actually laid over one another at times.
Dave's vocal delivery is dramatically different on many tracks such as "Babe, Don't Leave Me Alone" and "Somebody Get Me a Doctor".

Notes
"Wrongly dated for far too long, it's now time to set the record straight. VH never played another show at the Civic after this date, so throw away all those 12/20/77 average sounding boots, and settle into this experience, complete with rehearsals."

Tracks 1-3 are instrumental tracks played during rehearsal.
Tracks 4 & 5 are tracks from rehearsal with DLR on vocals.
Tracks 6-16 are from the show itself.
Quality is very very good. This is the one and only copy of the last Pasadena Civic show you will want/need.
The artwork indicates, "Digital Remastering by Wooda".
Released in July 2004.
