Van Halen On Fire Live 1981

June 19, 1981 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Opening song of the show. I was 17 and managed to sneak my camera and telephoto lens in to the June 20 show at the Forum in L.A. The audio is from the "Home Ground" bootleg from the June 19 show. Enjoy!

Actually, this might be my personal recording. I bootlegged this show. Gotta look for it and see if my quality is better.

Nice! I was at the show in Nashville late August. Definitely one of my favorite concerts! Thanks for putting this up!

my birthday. I was 19.  Amazing.

I saw em on this tour, too. 1981 Fair Warning tour.

2ND best show I've ever seen. Amazing...

Best show ever: KI55 Reunion tour with Ace on board and full makeup. '96. Hands down the most electrifying, exciting show ever. The energy in that place was unmatched.. and Ace was ON FIRE.

But this VH show is right up there. 1a and 1b.

Trans Siberian Orchestra, 3rd... NOT kidding.
