A never before heard bluesy version of VAN HALEN playing Panama from soundcheck!

From the secret archives of our own one and only Johnny Beane!

That was fun. Man it would’ve been cool to hear the three Van Halens play more instrumentals.

Johnny has more up on his page, I think four tracks from soundcheck in 2015...

I can’t imagine how bored Eddie and Alex were soundchecking some of the same songs over and over a billion times. Not surprising they would change them up for some fun.

Wow, that was pretty cool!!

That was frickin sweet, especially the very end when Al really got going with Ed. This is the kind of stuff that would be great as added extras on a boxset. We know they recorded most of their live shows, I wonder if they ever recorded soundchecks?
