Goddamn, this is the best sounding audio I've heard from 81! Smokin!! This show doesn't seem to be in circulation... fucking VH store... this guy has the goods.

Not bad at all for an audience recording. C'mon Jeff, don't hoard that thing, FLAC it up and put it on the torrent sites already.

I've had a tough day - that put a smile on my face the size of the Grand Canyon.

Ta very much.

This sounds awesome for an AUD.. must have been cleaned up or recorded in the sweetest of sweet spots - either way I fucking want it!!

When they're on they're untouchable.

same impression I got from Stockholm 84.

even the bass is busy on this

Van Halen’s “Romeo Delight” As You’ve Never Heard It Before!
Thursday, 22 September 2011

Here’s an “Exclusive” for you… a little gem we dug up from Van Halen’s 1981 Fair Warning tour. This is a never before heard audio recording of Van Halen playing “Romeo Delight” at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Not your typical live version, this is an AMAZING performance, luckily captured on tape. Without going into too much detail, we’ll just say that you’ll enjoy the breakdown in the middle of the song.

The sound quality is typical of an “audience” recording, but probably better than most from that tour. What’s special is the performance. Tell everyone what you think of it in the Comments. Enjoy!

--------------
Maybe someone can post the youtube video here, I forget how to do it, so has anyone from here heard this version before?
