I like Big Trouble (1977) the best.

Mine used to be that but now it's a tie between Let's Get Rockin' and Light In The Sky (no that's not the same song as "Light Up The Sky" from VH II).

Absolutely. I cannot for the life of me figure out why that wasn't good enough for the cut. it was for diver down I believe...or VH II...either way, it rocks, hence my name. Big Troubles..

Second would be, Put out the Lights, third would be She's the Woman

Something about Young and Wild that sounds so cheesy. And Let's get Rockin' teeters on good and bad for me.

Guys here's a pet peeve, it's "Big Trouble" singular. No "s" on the end.

Down In Flames is a favorite for me.....too bad they opted to do You're No Good and use the intro for Down In Flames on it.

I really like Little Dreamer from Nagoya Japan 1978, there is something about Eddie's solo that he never captured again.

Very cool tune!

I guess I would have to send a copy to Sarge to upload it on the website....

Gotta love the ORIGINAL House of Pain. Get The Show On The Road and Last Night are pretty kick ass too. Even though all three of these songs would eventually make it to the vinyl after some major alterations, I prefer the originals.

We Die Bold.

Mike's backing vocals on this one are pretty damn impressive.

I just love the live versions of "Summertime Blues"...


"Last night" and "Angel Eyes" are great too. Is "Angel eyes" originally VH?

"Covers Band From Pasadena"

"We're Van Halen from Pasadena, sayin': all right tonight on a Saturday night. Playin' and playin', well just so we get you people dancin' n' romancin' and the whole garbage pail full of things you do on a Saturday night." Classic. :D

I really like "Bright Lights Big City" from 1980 London Invasion. This is Van Halen playing the blues basically.
Great Roth monologue and trading licks with Eddie kinda like the intro to Yankee Rose.
Shame about the mediocre sound quality though.

That song was actually recorded at Cherokee studios in 1973 when Mark Stone was the bass player.
