Van Halen/CA,USA 6.29.1976 Upgrade

In 1976, VAN HALEN was eagerly waiting for an opportunity to make a debut and was repeatedly performing intense stages at local clubs. An upgrade master of the soundboard album representing that era has appeared. What is engraved in this work is “Hollywood performance on June 29, 1976”. This is a stereo soundboard recording recorded at the legendary club “Starwood”. The sound board of this day was discovered in recent years, but this work is even newer. It is an upgrade master released in response to the news of Eddie Van Halen’s death. Before we get into the details, let’s talk about the show’s position. Let’s take a look at the schedule to get an idea of ​​the activities at that time.・January 1st – May 30th: Other Club #1 (35 performances) ・June 1st: Starwood Performance #1 ・June 3rd – June 12th: Other Club #2 (7 performances) June 13th – 30th: Starwood appearance #2 (4 performances) ← ★ Coco ★ ・July 12th – November 21st: Other club #3 (26 performances) ・December 1st + 2nd: Starwood Performance #3 (2 performances) – December 3rd-31st: Other Club #4 (13 performances) This is VAN HALEN in 1976. Approximately 50 of the nearly 90 live performances were at their stronghold “GAZZARRI’S”, but they also appeared at “Starwood” in June and December. This week, the legendary early demo produced by Gene Simmons will be preserved forever as “THE DEFINITIVE DEMOS 1976-1977 (part of)”, but it was also at “Starwood” that Gene and them met in the summer of 1976. It is said. He appeared five times in June, and this work was recorded on the middle day of three consecutive performances (June 28th to 30th). Although it is unknown whether Gene is present at the scene of this work, it is a show where there is a possibility. This work, which conveys that era, is a greatly upgraded real sound board. The freshness that was directly digitized from the Low Gene master (although it is not possible to confirm definitively, it is probably the 1st generation) is overwhelming, and the clarity is on a whole different level compared to the conventional version. There is no muffled/cloudy component at all, and even the finest details are brightened quickly. You can fully enjoy the direct feeling that is unique to a sound board, and it invades your brain with a reality that transcends not only distance but also time and space. Moreover, this work is the highest peak version with a higher degree of perfection than the original sound that appeared on the internet. In fact, the sound itself lost its natural feel when processed, but the pitch was thoroughly corrected. Unlike the original sound, which is up to 50% faster than a semitone (and changes), it faithfully reproduces the band’s sound with a crisp and stable feel. The upgraded sound depicts a treasure trove of early versions of famous songs and unreleased songs. When it comes to stages in 1976, there are two extremes: a show full of covers and a set based on originals, but this work is a day full of originals. Let’s organize its contents. Officially recorded songs: Flame Fuse (3 songs) Show Your Love (original song of I’m The One) / Runnin’ With The Devil / Ice Cream Man / Legendary Bomber (2 songs) Somebody Get Me A Doctor /D.O.A.・Dark Law (2 songs) In A Simple Rhyme/Fools ・1984 (1 song) House Of Pain・A Different Kind of Truth (1 song) She’s The Woman Other・Unreleased songs (4 songs) Song) Babe, Don’t Leave Me Alone/Believe Me/Honolulu Baby/Eyes Of The Night・Cover (1 song) Let Me Swim [CACTUS]…and so on. The opening song “Let’s Get Rockin’ (original song by Outta Space)” was not recorded, and there are some cuts in “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” and “Babe, Don’t Leave Me Alone”, so it is not a complete recording. , it’s so special that it’s out of the question. The only covers are CACTUS’s “Let Me Swim” and the familiar “Ice Cream Man,” and the rest are all originals (by the way, the song “You Really Got Me”, which is also synonymous with this song, was only played around 2 in this album) It is said that it was a month and a half later), from the original song “Show Your Love” of “I’m The One” to “House Of Pain” which was finally completed in “1984”, and furthermore, the studio’s posthumous work “A DIFFERENT KIND OF”. The elements of Dave’s VAN HALEN are already present, such as “She’s The Woman”, which became the cornerstone of “TRUTH”. Furthermore, the four songs that ended up being unreleased are also delicious, especially “Believe Me,” “Honolulu Baby,” and “Eyes Of The Night,” which were included in the ultimate demo album “THE DEFINITIVE DEMOS 1976-1977 (Zodiac 418)” released at the same time. ‘ But I can’t listen to it. The super direct soundboard take is an important track that can be said to be semi-official. Truly a treasure. This is a cultural heritage. This work is packed with the original form of VAN HALEN, which took the world by storm two years later and ruled for the next 37 years. You can experience a club full of extraordinary power, passion, and masterpieces with a sound board directly connected to your brain. It’s no wonder Gene Simmons fell in love with such a stage performance…such a transcendent live album. Its highest peak update edition.
