Van Halen/Canada 1982

The strongest sound source of the tour where Diamond Dave shined the best has been upgraded! David Lee Roth was the man who led the original VAN HALEN stage with his unique showmanship. The tour where he, nicknamed Diamond, shined most dazzlingly would be the “Hide Your Sheep Tour 1982-1983” accompanying “DIVER DOWN”. At a time when the impact of the guitar revolution by the genius Eddie Van Halen was fading, “DIVER DOWN”, which consisted of cover songs for almost half of the album, was an album that immediately focused on his talent as an entertainer. At the live “Hide Your Sheep Tour 1982-1983”, most of the songs from the album were played, and it became famous around the world as the second signboard of “The Big V” that could not be pushed or pushed. This work is an audience album of the “Montreal performance on October 27, 1982” which has reigned as the strongest version of “Hide Your Sheep Tour 1982-1983”. Even if you are a VAN HALEN enthusiast, you may not be familiar with this date and venue. In fact, this sound source is the main recording of the previously released “EVERYBODY WANTS A VIRGIN” known as the “November 18th Hampton Performance”. This time, I obtained the master clone of Kano’s tour masterpiece through a unique route. If you’re thinking, “Huh? Isn’t “EVERYBODY WANTS A VIRGIN” a soundboard?” When I listened to it again with the clear sound of a younger generation, it turned out that it was actually a hyper audience recording! It is clear that it is a master clone because the beginning, which started with a fade in the previous release, starts from a cut-in and the recording time is long, but above all, the freshness of the sound is on a whole other level! The fact that it was mistaken as a “sound board” at the time of the previous release shows the precision of the recording, but its brightness has increased significantly. “Ice Cream Man”, whose right channel was extremely high in the previous release, has no deterioration! In this work, even more careful digital remastering has been done. There are shortcomings such as momentary gaps in some songs and changes in sound pressure midway through, but these are caused by the master, so it cannot be dismissed as something that never happened, but these discomforts have been reduced to a minimum. While retaining the freshness of Oomoto Master, we have created the highest quality product that allows you to experience the flavor directly. The Big V hits you with an accelerated hyper sound that is sure to get you in the groove!　The vividness of Eddie running wild over the light and brisk beat! As expected, it has been certified as a sound board for many years, and it seems that even the detailed picking pierces the ear. And the new songs of “DIVER DOWN” that are thrown in the middle of the show are also amazing. In fact, it is a large-scale performance in which 9 out of 12 songs are performed, but Dave’s show performance on a variety of songs is becoming more and more sharp, and he can do whatever he wants. In particular, in “The Full Bug,” you can feel the character of an actor who changes his voice even at a fast tempo, his shouts are sharp, and the blues harp solo is also explosive. The audience responded with such enthusiasm that it made me want to ask over the CD, “Is this a new song? Do you like it that much?” (lol) Nowadays, this album tends to be overshadowed by the next album, “1984”, but as expected, it has a record of reaching number 3 in the United States. VAN HALEN has started sprinting towards the ultimate masterpiece “1984”. What you can hear in this work is a diamond shining brightly, trying to reach the top right now. A big album that revives the long-standing definitive album even more vividly. Please try it!
