VAN HALEN – Reno 1984 (2CD)

This is an Audience recording, my rating is a 7.3 quality, not a bad show.  It’s got one thing I can appreciate, a lively atmosphere without being obnoxious and intrusive although I got to tell you, sometimes the audience makes the performance…want proof?  Listen to the Madison Square Garden 1984 show – you can honestly say that the loud, obnoxious, and totally over the top crowd and atmosphere is what totally makes that show. I found myself more interested in the crowd believe it or not. I must offer that show in the future – seriously the audience is the best part even though the band is on fire and inspired by the crowd. This one is close to that mania, but nothing compares to that MSG show.
