So, after stumbling across this little gem online, I had to share! I’ll DB the raw wav file for anyone who may want it. I tweaked the EQ on this version to clean it up.

On Fire
Light Up the Sky
Drop Dead Legs
Dirty Movies
Romeo Delight
Runnin With the Devil
Chinatown
I’ll Wait

I have a wav file. Taper unknown. I happened to find this file after Googling “van halen soundcheck” or some variation there of and the link was several pages in. I figured it wouldn’t be legit, but it is.

Amazing Scoop!!

The way I see it this is a BIG deal doing On Fire I don’t think they’ve done that since ’81 that I know of. Haven’t noticed a single mention of this anywhere until now.

You post the best stuff Voodoo. Thanks for uploading now. 8)

When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

I read DLR was at the soundcheck on 7/11 – can anyone confirm or deny?


Resident dickhead. I will hurt your delicate feelings.
