(hennemusic) Van Halen returned to live action Thursday night with a rare, media-only club show at New York's Café Wha?The event was to help promote their forthcoming new album, "A Different Kind Of Truth," due February 7; the project's first single, "Tattoo," is set for release next Tuesday.
The setlist featured mostly hits, with a few classics, and one new track, "She's The Woman." The new song has a real history with the band: it was one of the tunes recorded for the Gene Simmons-produced demos in 1976, and it was re-recorded a year later as part of the 1977 Warner Brothers demos. The original version of the song includes riffs that were later found in "Mean Street," from 1981's "Fair Warning" album. Check out both versions here.
