I have an idea for a compilation of the best performances from the many newly unearthed “Roy” soundboards from the 1982-1983 Hide Your Sheep Tour. Considering that each gig was very similar, it would make sense to stitch together a traditional Diver Down setlist using the best performance of each tune, while also adding the rare tracks that were performed throughout the tour, such as the seldom performed Fair Warning material, and non-album covers.
Does anyone remember the 2001 Reunion fan-made 2CD compilation? It would make sense to create a similar compilation out of the Roy SBDs for casual listening.
This project would require input from serious Van Halen fans like us. There are so many soundboard recordings to sift through. However, I’m not complaining.
