Van Halen Live Performance of Poundcake at Flanders Expo, Gent, Belgium

Venue: Flanders Expo Location: Sint-Denijs-Westrem, East Flanders, Belgium Date: April 14, 1993

In the live performance of "Poundcake" on April 14, 1993, at the Flanders Expo in Belgium, Van Halen was riding high on the success of their album "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," which had been released just three years earlier in 1991. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their signature sound infused with fresh energy through new vocalist Sammy Hagar. "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" hit number one on the Billboard 200 and included hits like "Right Now" and "Poundcake," which further solidified their place in rock history. Interestingly, the title itself was a cheeky nod to the band's witty side, as it became a play on words that resonated with fans. This performance captures Van Halen's electrifying stage presence and musical prowess during a vibrant era in their career.
