As a VH fan, let me say how this lifts my spirits in a world gone insane, to remember 1970’s when these guys broke out, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@TrueFreddyK]

The 70s was a great time, and as it turns out the best time for music. All of the music I grew up on stands the test of time :-) glad you're enjoying it

[@NyeGuy-yv2dv]

Totally agree. It's always sunny in Van Halen world.

[@pacman3908]

If I'm feeling bad the mighty vh always gets me going rip evh

[@tommilitello198]

It was more eighties for them than seventies by far

[@Eddie-In-Las-Vegas]

Van Halen may have broke out in the late 70s but they definitely paved the road and were the master influencers of the whole decade of the 80's

[@Fast2Whls]

Nobody SWINGS like Eddie! He and Al have a groove that no one else could match.

[@gorfpatrol2073]

All this new old VH is great..thanks

[@deplorabledaven450]

Nice to hear & see the fellas getting along & making magical history. Those pictures are rare, thanks for posting.

[@TrueFreddyK]

Right on

[@fab.silva1119]

This is how I choose to remember DLR! Truly kicking ass

[@pervbate]

The Full Bug on that Diver Down album just smokes and is one of my all time favorite songs. I prefer that version with the better lyrics and backup vocals. "All I wanna give you, woman.. is the best part of a man." What a jam!

[@chriscrooks1704]

Internal rhyme with a dash of thyme to show me either accidental or intentional rhyming still goes on, Excellent. Do you need a breath mint??😢😅😂🎉

[@dcraven67]

Under rated and under played, one of my favorite VH songs ever!

[@sandrosbackyard343]

What can we say...The Best Of The Best!

[@sghodder]

The Full Bug is one of the great unsung heroes of the DLR VH catalogue. It just rocks, has a great groove and it just makes you smile. Like all the best songs its a smash and grab raid.

[@joeschmoe665]

Having fun back then was as easy as falling off a drum riser!!!!

[@pdp888]

The Final version of this song kicks major ass! 👍

[@patmayer7222]

Proof they were a force to recon with,......blues !are you kidding😮😮

[@scottgorrie2043]

Nothing better than Dave blowing the harp.

[@ericbrewer2409]

Hes playing acoustic at the beginning also.

[@nicholasdaniels7511]

Wow!! The MIGHTY VAN HALEN

[@charliebravoroxsatx]

Love this! 💯 Roth and VH just cooked!

[@NeilAloha]

That diver down album Jo one liked it but it had like 3 or 4 gems, full bug, secrets, hang ‘em high,

[@TrueFreddyK]

Yes, the originals are great- & Secrets was different

[@paulmeeker1165]

@@TrueFreddyK I think Secrets was inspiration to Dave's Hina on the Skyscraper album.

[@geraldfoley4121]

Little Guitars!

[@imperialjg7142]

LITTLE GUITARS! sorry for the yelling. :) my fave VH tune.

[@SteeeeveC]

Cool to hear. Thanks for sharing

[@TrueFreddyK]

Enjoy~

[@stevemineer2857]

No way this is from 1977. It’s from the 1982 Diver Down recording sessions.

[@damionberv5074]

I was just thinking the same thing; sounds like it was from the “Diver Down” sessions, but with different lyrics. Still badass though.

[@mikebozik]

This sounds like they've got the song pretty much complete and are just running takes to fine tune. It's just missing a few bits of spice, and final lyrics. But, the tempo, arrangement and tones are 99% there.

[@stevemcneill7154]

So cool

[@CaptainVelveeta]

Whenever I hear outtakes like this, I always wonder, at what point did someone say, "no no no, this ain't workin', I don't like the title". "...and put some vocals in that acoustic part in the beginning" 😅

[@stephendonahue2388]

Good stuff

[@alanscott7798]

Really good quality. Thanks for sharing. Who said Dave couldn't sing? What a great band.

[@TrueFreddyK]

Dave was a unique and great singer back in the day, simple as that. He could do things with his voice that few could get close to.

[@CHRISRepAZ]

Dave had the ‘it’ factor

[@kristinnorgaard6238]

He sure did!@@CHRISRepAZ

[@masshultzy6449]

For people that say he could never sing, don't know what they are talking about. He had a raspy bluesy voice with a lot of high notes. As for today, he can't sing a lick, but I still commend him. He is just too narcissistic and hard to get along with today!

[@BrianGodsell-yq1kc]

Listen to DLR solo records and then tell me he can't sing,MF'ER could sing his ass off!

[@michaelehlert9]

This sounds like it could be on WACF

[@manskullman6509]

Its easy to love Eddie Van Halens guitar art , nobody was not even close to him! Jon Fisher

[@bugsyblack-ml6xx]

Interesting...I've always loved the studio original but this one seems a little bit more small venue / party cranked up ( sounds a 1/8 faster?)

[@TrueFreddyK]

They are having a good time with this version, while excluding the best part of a man :-)

[@Menyhard]

Nice

[@JimmyFreeman-o4t]

The harmonies are missing though!

[@TrueFreddyK]

Just seeing if you're paying attention… Lol

[@fab.silva1119]

Y E S ! ! !

[@mrgoat5820]

DLR is classic

[@RobertPusateri-p8c]

This wasn't released to 1982.

[@devinw5150]

This is good but the finished product is much better, especially the lyric improvement

[@joqu6971]

Smokes

On guitar too

Ed and Al McDonald's pic classic.😅

[@kojam1]

Dave played that acoustic intro?! 😱 I'm so confused now!!!

[@TrueFreddyK]

for sure- Dave on acoustic

[@kojam1]

@@TrueFreddyK I'm shocked! Me he did Ice cream man, but never ever considered it was him in this song. It's got that Eddie swing! Nobody can mimic that swing! Dave swings!! 😱 Been a huge fan for almost 50 years now and you're blowing my mind!

[@reinhardboost319]

AI remixes ?

[@magicmike6961]

fucking epic guitar work on it.
