Tokyo Dome Live in Concert is a live album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released on March 31, 2015. It is their first live album with original lead vocalist David Lee Roth, and second live album overall, after 1993's Live: Right Here, Right Now.

History

Van Halen fansite VHND.com released the official press release announcing the album on February 5, 2015. This was only after the information leaked a couple days earlier and after months of speculation.[2] On March 2, 2015 the album became available for preorder, with "Runnin' With the Devil" and "Panama" being released for purchase on the iTunes Store and viewing on Van Halen's YouTube channel.

This marks Van Halen's first live album with their original lead singer David Lee Roth, who rejoined the band in 2006. The album features songs from every Roth-fronted Van Halen album, including their 2012 release, A Different Kind of Truth.
