Notes:
Here we have a totally unheard, uncirculated soundboard recording, capturing the Van Halen concert in Daly City (San Francisco area) during their Diver Down tour (Hide Your Sheep tour) in 1982. This is the first of two consecutive nights Van Halen played at the Cow Palace in 1982. It's worth noting that an audience recording of this show does also exist in circulation.

Despite a newspaper review claiming they played Atomic Punk at this show, unfortunately that was not the case. Old newspaper reviews are known for occasional glaring errors, which is proven to be the case here, since this soundboard recording, as well the audience recording of the entire show, both only show evidence that it was the same standard 1982 setlist.

As usual, Roy paused the tape during the break where Dave would give an extended talk to the crowd prior to Jamie's Cryin'. The first side of the 90 minute master tape runs out only about 29 seconds into Everybody Wants Some, while the second side starts right near the beginning of Dave's storytime interlude. Roy pauses the tape after Somebody Get Me A Doctor, so does not capture Dave's acoustic solo or Ice Cream Man. The recording starts again right at the start of Intruder. The tape is paused again during both encore breaks, although the pause before Bottoms Up is only very brief and captures most of the downtime. The tape runs out only about 38 seconds into You Really Got Me, so does not capture Happy Trails or the reprise of You Really Got Me.

Huge thanks to those who significantly helped with the absurd pricetag that was required to liberate this VH collection, most of which would've been impossible to save otherwise.

Enjoy the music and be grateful we are able hear these special recordings. If you have uncirculated tapes, please consider sharing them before they end up forever lost to time.
