Win Van Halen’s ‘Live In Dallas 1991’ Vinyl for Record Store Day
Ultimate Classic Rock is thrilled to announce an exciting giveaway of Van Halen’s exclusive Record Store Day release, Live in Dallas 1991. This remarkable double-vinyl set offers fans a chance to own a unique piece of rock history, capturing an unforgettable performance from the iconic band. The story behind this release is just as compelling as the music itself. During the band’s 1988 Monsters of Rock tour stop in Dallas, lead vocalist Sammy Hagar unexpectedly lost his voice, leading to a shortened concert. In a spontaneous moment, Hagar promised the audience that Van Halen would return for a free show, a decision made without consulting his bandmates, which added to the drama of the event.
Fast forward three years, and Van Halen fulfilled that promise, performing a spectacular free outdoor concert in Dallas at an expense of approximately $200,000. This extraordinary event is immortalized in Live in Dallas 1991, which features the complete 11-song set on vinyl for the very first time, allowing fans to relive the energy and excitement of that historic night.
