Van Halen releases their first-ever live album to feature original singer David Lee Roth! Recorded on June 21, 2013 at the famed Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, ‘Tokyo Dome: Live In Concert’ includes 23 songs, spanning all seven of the band's albums with Roth.
‘Tokyo Dome: Live In Concert’ features an electrifying performance by singer David Lee Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Wolfgang Van Halen. Mixed by award-winning engineer and mixer Bob Clearmountain (Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Roxy Music, Nine Inch Nails, and many more), and mastered by Chris Bellman, the album features such classic anthems as “Dance The Night Away,” “Beautiful Girls,” “And The Cradle Will Rock…,” “Unchained,” and “Everybody Wants Some!!,” as well as blistering versions of “Tattoo,” “She's The Woman,” and “China Town” from the group's most recent studio album, ‘A Different Kind of Truth.’
Van Halen reinvented the sound of hard rock in 1978 with its influential and wildly successful eponymous debut album and then achieved even greater success six years later with ‘1984.’ Both albums would define a generation while selling more than 10 million copies each in the U.S. alone to earn diamond-certification from the RIAA.
Considered one of the greatest debut albums in rock history, Van Halen took the music world by storm in 1978 with an 11-song manifesto that features some of rock radio's most played songs of all time and scorching concert staples like “Runnin' With The Devil,” “Ain't Talkin' ‘Bout Love,” “Jamie's Cryin’,” the band's signature cover of The Kinks' “You Really Got Me,” and Eddie Van Halen's finger-tapping tour de force, “Eruption.” Six years and five albums later, Van Halen had become one of the biggest bands in world around the release of ‘1984,’ which includes a number of the band's most legendary songs such as the #1 hit, “Jump,” “Panama,” and “Hot For Teacher.”
