Notes: personal note's of taper Personal notes: "I will back up Lou's comments to a point: Yes, the show was somewhat of a letdown for me. After having never seen VH with DLR at the helm, hearing all the latest bootlegs from this tour, and viewing what few full-length videos have been made available from this tour, I was really psyched to this show. What I saw on Friday night was, more or less, somewhat of a disappointment. There were some personal hi-lights ("Everybody Wants Some!!" being one of them), but if I had to use any term to describe the show as a whole, it would be "rushed". Everything I have heard/seen on every '07 tour bootleg to date was NOT present that evening. It was as though they were obviously there just to collect that night's fee for playing, and then be on their way. But, having never seen this version of the band live, I was still happy I went to this show. After all, who knows what the future will hold for Van Halen once this tour is complete. We had, in my opinion, very good seats, until we were moved to another section. The section we were in originally was the exact section I was hoping to get when the tickets went on sale. My wife broke her ankle a few weeks prior to the show, so security was kind enough to move us one section over to an enclosed area meant for disabled people, in order to prevent people from stepping on her cast. This shift in seating was a dream come true and made for a nice recording. I had the PA's pointed directly at me, nobody standing behind me, or next to me, and the people in front of us were located about 5 steps down with a glass partition that ran up to my waist separating us, which greatly prevented any of the usual drunk-talk bullshit. Basically, my wife & I had our own little private section. I had my gear strapped to my chest, thus I was able to get a nice, clear recording. Funny side-note: at one point, right before the show started, the security supervisor for that section walked up to us to see that we were okay, and, I still had my gear affixed to my chest while we were seated. As he sat down to speak to me, he didn't even notice that my mic was plainly staring him in the face. The acoustics in the venue were much better than I expected, seeing as how it had just opened up a few weeks prior to the show. This was definitely the best recording I have ever done at an indoor venue and is damn near flawless. Short of plugging my gear into the mixing desk, I couldn't have dreamed of a better recording. I omitted a small portion from Alex's solo where he dives into the synthesized latin beats, something he's done as part of his solo since '95. Seeing as how the band were quickly going from one song to the next, I knew I’d have very little time to change out discs, so I sacrificed that part of his solo. And, as I said previously, since it's nothing we haven't heard him do since '95, I figured it's nothing anyone would miss. A major "Thank You" to "Uncle" bobS23 for the transferring, mastering, and posting process of this show. He works his magic like no other! Enjoy the show, everyone!"

Notes: taper's Notes: I made a trip out to Kansas City to see a Van Halen friend who resides in Springfield, MO, who road-tripped himself and brought one of his friends. Fortunately, I had a blast in spite of the bad performance by the band. To read up on my review of this performance and my time in Kansas City, go here: http://www.diamonddavidleeroth.com/forums/index.php?topic=18639 As far as the recording goes, it would be a solid A if not for the loud, booming bass element. I didn't feel like equalizing the bass, and no volume adjustment was needed, so I did not change the audio properties of my master recording at all. So this is the raw master recording; the only editing was cutting up the WAV's and converting to FLAC. With respect to the bass issue, I set the battery box to a 95 Hz rolloff as I have done on all the other shows I've taped with this gear, but the bass is nevertheless too loud. The bass was very loud and thumping where I was sitting, so I guess in that sense you're getting a good representation of what it sounded like from my seat. I was sitting next to a wall which kind of divides the sections of the upper bowl of the Sprint Center, so this may have contributed or caused the bass boom. If someone wants to remaster and get rid of the excess bass, go for it. Even with the bass issue, I think it's far and away my best Van Halen recording, and it holds its own pretty well with the best recordings so far on this tour. Otherwise, the recording is surprisingly up front for a nosebleed section recording, and very clear with almost no audience chatter. There is good dynamic range and good stereo separation as this time, I had the time to get set up properly. I made sure to sit basically motionless the entire time to get a nice, consistent sound throughout. Between "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and "1984" I decided to goof off and state the band, venue, city and date, along with stating that there will be an encore, in homage to the taper of Van Halen, Greensboro February 3, 1984 who said something similar in his recording. After "Jump," I also decided to ask for the opinions of the two people I saw the show with, and give my own opinion, in tribute to the taper of Van Halen, Philadelphia March 21, 1984 and his friend Gary C. who did the same thing 23 years ago. Finally, this recording is "marked" by my friend intentionally blowing a whistle at a few points, most of them at the end of the show, which is "homage" to the notorious horn that marked the Van Halen, Oakland June 11, 1981 audience recording. Finally, if any of you heard/saw someone playing piano at the Holiday Inn Aladdin in Kansas City until 2:30 AM after the show, that was me. FFP, shntool results and ticket are included.
