Notes


Van Halen
Los Angeles, CA
Whiskey A Go-Go
12/31/1978

The sound on this New Year's Eve gig is extremely clear, and while there is some fade-out in between a few tracks, I managed to remove most of it.

The band plays 4 unreleased songs. The two standouts of these unreleased songs are "Just
What You Wanted" and "No More Waiting". Of special note, the intro to "No More Waiting" later surfaced as the intro to "Take Me Back (Deja Vu)" off their 1995 release, "Balance". Ed plays it with an electric guitar, rather than an acoustic one, for "No More Waiting".

Pretty sure it's soundboard. Not sure if it's the 1st or 2nd set of the night however.
