VIDEO: Van Halen rock Diver Down rarity in Boston


The Van Halen tour continues to surprise long time fans with the addition of rare songs being switched in and out of the band’s set.

Sunday night in Boston, Van Halen rocked “Hang ‘Em High,” from the band’s 1982 album, “Diver Down.”

Fan reports suggest the band actually soundchecked the track last week in Philadelphia, along with the 1979 classic, “Bottoms Up!” which has yet to make an appearance in the show.

“Hang ‘Em High” replaced 1984’s “Girl Gone Bad” in the set for the Boston gig.

The tour, in support of “A Different Kind Of Truth,” rolls into Manchester, NH on Tuesday, Montreal on Wednesday, and Toronto on Saturday – the day after bassist Wolfgang Van Halen turns 21.
