    On December 4, 1991, Van Halen performed the "Dallas Free Show" at the Westend Marketplace in Dallas, Texas, a notable moment in the band’s career during a transitional period. This live performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," which debuted in June 1991 and featured hits like "Poundcake" and "Runaround." The show included several tracks from this album, emphasizing the band's heavy reliance on their new material at the time, marking a significant shift in their sound and style.
