Van Halen’s third straight No. 1 album with singer Sammy Hagar, and the bands ninth LP overall, gets a two-CD remaster with a disc of rarities and live tracks. The previously unreleased show recordings, from Dallas in 1991, the year of the album’s release, are also included in a Blu-ray along with video clips for the singles “Poundcake,” “Right Now” and two others. Instrumental versions and single mixes round out the expanded set.
In the summer of 1991, Van Halen’s “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” debuted at #1 on release. This summer, you can hear it better than ever! The Triple-Platinum album is getting remastered and reissued.
The Expanded Edition includes previously unreleased alternate versions of “Right Now” and “The Dream Is Over.” The main attraction, however, has to be the previously unreleased concert footage from Van Halen’s December 4th, 1991, performance in Dallas. Captured during the “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour,” this electrifying show is a powerful example of Van Halen’s unparalleled stage presence.
The show’s setlist mixes new songs “Judgement Day” and “Poundcake” with songs from “5150” and “OU812“ “(“Best Of Both Worlds” and “Finish What Ya Started”). The band also played “Panama,” a hit from its time with singer David Lee Roth, plus two of Hagar’s hits, “I Can’t Drive 55” and “There’s Only One Way To Rock.”
In addition, the BLU-RAY includes the official music videos for “Poundcake,” “Runaround,” “Right Now,” and “Top Of The World.” Finally, the remastered album is included in the set as a double LP, featuring an etching of the Van Halen logo on the fourth side.
Includes an exclusive BOOKLET loaded with never-before-seen band photos, rare memorabilia, and ephemera. It’s truly incredible and well done. 32-pages, measuring 12″ x 12″.
