Almost a disgrace to Van Halen

Review Score: (4/10)
I bought this CD thinking all these great songs would be fun to listen to. I've listened to Van Halen on the radio for a couple decades now and I expected at least radio quality with a "background" of audience noise. But instead I got what sounds like a microphone being in the MIDDLE of the audience. The great Van Halen is drowned out by all the white noise of screams. I wish I never bought this and bought the original albums instead. In fact, that is my goal now, to replace it with the originals.
