Notes:
Here is yet another uncirculated soundboard recording, capturing the Van Halen concert in East Rutherford during their Diver Down tour (Hide Your Sheep tour) in 1982. This is the second of two consecutive nights Van Halen played at the Meadowlands in 1982. It's worth noting that an audience recording of this show does also exist in circulation.
These Meadowlands shows were originally scheduled for October 15 and 16, but postponed when Eddie fractured his wrist on the day of the first planned concert.
Like the night prior, a very short early snippet of Girl Gone Bad has now become a regular part of the jam during Somebody Get Me A Doctor, which will keep continuing to grow and expand up through 1983. Interestingly, unique to this show, at the very beginning of the jam section can also be heard what appears to be a very early incarnation of the riff that would eventually develop into The Seventh Seal about 12 years later.
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 not long after the first part of Everybody Wants Some. The second side of the tape starts partway into Dave's interlude, so is missing several minutes.
For the first time since much earlier in the tour, Roy decides to not pause the tape following Somebody Get Me A Doctor, so we again get to hear Dave's acoustic bit and Ice Cream Man. Roy will continue this trend for several more shows following this one, before later reverting to his pausing routine, though he will again stop doing these pauses before the 1982 tour ends.
The tape runs out not long after the end of Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, so does not capture the encores with Bottoms Up, You Really Got Me, or Happy Trails.
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.
