    Best of 1978-1984 on March 13?

    Found this today on Blabbermouth.net





    BLABBERMOUTH.NET can reveal that Rhino Records has set a March 13 release date for VAN HALEN's "Best Of (1978-1984)", the first single-disc compilation exclusively spotlighting 1978-1984, the group's original David Lee Roth era. The album, which coincides with VAN HALEN's March 2007 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, contains over an hour of remastered classics from the albums "Van Halen", "Van Halen II", "Women And Children First", "Fair Warning", "Diver Down", and "1984". Highlights include "Runnin' With The Devil", "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love", and "And The Cradle Rock". Also featured are "Everybody Wants Some", "So This Is Love" and "Oh, Pretty Woman". The CD booklet will contain rarely seen photos and liner notes.

    "Best Of (1978-1984)" tentative track listing:

    01. Runnin' With The Devil
    02. Eruption
    03. You Really Got Me
    04. Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
    05. Jamie's Cryin'
    06. Dance The Night Away
    07. Somebody Get Me A Doctor
    08. Beatuiful Girls
    09. And The Cradle Will Rock
    10. Everybody Wants Some
    11. Mean Street
    12. Unchained
    13. So This Is Love?
    14. Where Have All The Good Times Gone
    15. Oh, Pretty Woman
    16. Dancing In The Street
    17. Jump
    18. Panama
    19. Hot For Teacher

    According to MelodicRock.com, VAN HALEN — featuring David Lee Roth on vocals — will likely play two dates in Las Vegas at The Pearl at The Palms Casino on April 27-28 before kicking off a full North American tour sometime late spring. A list of 17 VAN HALEN tour dates was posted online over the weekend, but those are now said to be "merely a proposed itinerary/routing that is no longer valid," according to the site.

    Billboard.com reported last week that a deal was nearly done for VAN HALEN to embark on a summer tour that would include 40 amphitheatre shows.

    Guitarist Eddie Van Halen recently told Rolling Stone, "Everything is up in the air. We don't want to say anything prematurely," hinting that VAN HALEN would tour this summer whether David Lee Roth was the singer or not.

    The band now includes Eddie's son Wolfgang on bass, replacing original bass player Michael Anthony.

    I already ponied up for these songs in all of their remastered glory. WTF? How many times do I need to buy these songs? At least they should have put 1-2 new songs on there to make it somewhat worth my $20.

                So you're saying that VH hasn't released the Oakland show because I'm to stupid?

                            nice to see an all-dlr compilation but yeah, everyone's obviously got all the songs already so what's the point of spending more money on the same shit.....maybe if the packaging is really really cool....and maybe if they include a 5 dollar off coupon to mcdonalds...
