Art work on front, back and middle appear to have been taken during
the 1984 tour.
Packaging is above average. (nice clean, glossy photos)
The front cover shows Dave singing (circa 1983) with the words
"Van Halen I'm So Glad" in green lettering.
The back cover shot has a picture of Dave doing a *kick* over Mikes
head while he's playing the bass.
Upon opening the jewel case there is a color picture of all 4 singing
Happy Trails.
The disc is wicked it's made to look like a actual vinyl record with
the center 2/3 of the disc is green in color and the outer 1/3 is
black.
When you take out the cd you can see more pictures through the clear
jewel case and it shows Dave on stage singing while doing the splits
(not in the air but on the stage floor) with 2 smaller pics inserted
of Ed/Mike (in one) and Ed/Al in the other.
Sound quality is comparable to the Eyes Of The Night CD. Guitars are
very clear- Drums are legible- Bass is hidden- Roth seems "lazy" at
times, Mono soundboard source (not audience).
Not the clearest boot, but one hell of a set!
An additional pressing of this boot appears to have been made. Not all
of the materials described above are present on this pressing. The set
list and sound quality are the same, but the front cover is a copy of
the original. It's a bit fuzzier. There is no middle artwork, and no
artwork under the disc. The back artwork is also a good copy of the
original. The disc itself is all black except for a silver "EL 026"
marking.
