Notes:
Here is what vhboots.com has to say about the show:
"Dance The Night Away" on Side 2 isn't listed on the cover.
Great montage artwork on cover. Shot of band members on front surrounded by flames and other graphics.
Records are pressed on red vinyl, with a plain white label and no markings.
Overall sound quality would rate about a B. It's an audience recording, and the band sounds clear but there's a "spacious" arena-quality to it.
Because the show was in LA, the boys were probably partying hard and it shows in a few songs; Dave doesn't sing the entire second verse of "So This Is Love". In the same song, Eddie plays part of the second solo during the FIRST solo. Also, Dave "makes up" lyrics in the second verse of "Unchained". (just like "Romeo Delight" in the US Festival show)
Here are my notes:
I think the quality is more like a B+/A- myself.
The transfer is superior, as good a transfer as you'll ever hear of this show. Hardly sounds like a vinyl to my ears. Exceptionally clean, so kudos to whoever transferred this. This copy should be the standard for this boot in trading circles.
I did not pull the track listing from vhboots.com, this is my own listing. The track listing on vhboots.com does not correspond to the vinyl>CD transfer.
Volume dips down a little bit in the beginning of "On Fire" but rebounds shortly.
There are I think 3 or 4 cuts between songs, nothing major. They just cut out audience cheering; no music is lost.
This is my personal favorite show from the Fair Warning tour and my favorite Van Halen bootleg period.
