VAN HALEN’s 'Romeo Delight'... As You’ve Never Heard It Before
September 23, 2011, 13 years ago
VAN HALEN News Desk reports:
Here’s an “exclusive” for you… a little gem we dug up from Van Halen’s 1981 Fair Warning tour. This is a never before heard audio recording of Van Halen playing 'Romeo Delight' at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Not your typical live version, this is an AMAZING performance, luckily captured on tape. Without going into too much detail, we’ll just say that you’ll enjoy the breakdown in the middle of the song."
Although Hits Daily Double recently announced that after a 35-year career at Warner Brothers, Van Halen have inked a deal with Columbia Records (a subsidiary of Sony), the Van Halen News Desk says there is no signed deal, although both parties have "been in serious talks."
Van Halen are currently mastering their as-yet-untitled new album. The band have been in the studio with Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks (BON JOVI, FLEETWOOD MAC, STEVIE NICKS) and producer/engineer Ross Hogarth (DIO, MÖTLEY CRÜE, RATT), recording their first album with David Lee Roth in more than 25 years, and their first new music as a band in seven years. The hard rock legends are rounded off by brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Eddie's son Wolfgang.
