Van Halen

On June 12, 1981, Van Halen lit up the stage at the Oakland Coliseum with an electrifying performance of "Hear About It Later." This live recording came just after the release of their album "Fair Warning," which hit the shelves in April of the same year. "Fair Warning" showcased a darker, edgier side of the band, contrasting the more upbeat vibe of previous albums. Interestingly, this performance also marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, as they were riding high on the success of hits like "Unchained" and "So This Is Love?" It was a time when they cemented their reputation for explosive live shows—Eddie Van Halen's guitar work was nothing short of legendary. Fans were treated to a mix of raw energy and intricate musicianship, making this concert a defining moment for the band during the early '80s rock scene.
