Great quality live recording, from Pasadena, Cal. on May 29th 1976.

Happy New Year! Alex lights off his fireworks here, during a stunning drum solo that really shows his chops & energy. "Let Me Swim" is the VH take on a Cactus number- but it is really more like an original song. Eddie smokes on this. Alex did a solo when I saw VH in 78', even though they played a short set before Sabbath! He was obviously influenced/inspired by the best. *Carmine Appice, Ginger Baker, Tommy Aldridge, Cozy Powell, Bonham, Cobham, Paice, Peart, and I'll bet a few jazz drummers! Alex was a monster- and deserves much more credit as a driving force brother in Van Halen...
