There are many bootlegs from '74 on up. This bootleg is from Oct 15, 1977 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. That's Pete Angelus introducing the band.

I have this bootleg in it's entirety. They had signed with Warner Bros but had not yet gone into the studio. Dave makes a reference prior to Atomic Punk about how he has, "...always wanted to say this, here's one off our first album. It's called Atomic Punk!!"

Yo!

You can tell they're young because they're still trying. Dave actually sings the lyric. Starting on the first tour after the first album Dave got very sloppy and then sang that way for the rest of his time with Van Halen. He would just "slur talk" the lyrics live. Also, Ed was not yet "over flourishing" his guitar parts yet. He's actually playing a phrase from beginning to end without throwing in incidentals. Bands are better in the early stages before they have success to rest on.
