Do I remember!!! When I started listening to the band in late `78 early `79 they were all over the rock n roll magazines,they toured every year , we were spoiled back then . I first saw them live in Oct.`80 just as the WACF tour was coming to an end and I got to see them again in June of `81 on the Fair Warning tour , saw again in Sept. `82 again in May `84 , 4 times with Hagar while he was in the band . From `82-`84 you just knew they were gonna be in the next issue of Circus mag. with all the cool color photos . VH shirts , hats posters , buttons were all over the place and Ed was featured in tons of guitar magazines . Hell yeah! I remember [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]

No shit, I was born in 83, and I never got a chance to see VH. The closest I got was the SAM/dave show this summer.

You guys missed it then! I graduated high school in '86 and of course lived and grew up thru the 70s and 80s. What a time! Everyone was much more loose and less uptight. These days it seems everyone is so friggin intense. I miss the 70s and 80s

I remember the first time I heard VH, thanks to a cousin who played "Eruption" for me when that album first came out, I had no idea who they were, I was still in the "KISS is god stage" LOL! Fast forward to now, I have seen them a total of 26 times, with every ticket stub to show for it. Some shows were great, some were a little off..but it was still VAN HALEN! I hope they will be back out here for us to see, but if not...thanks for some awesome memories, I know I can't complain at all. Later peeps...

I couldn`t have said it any better , I agree to the fullest that it`s some pretty intense times these days and when I hear people bagging on the `70s and `80s It bums me out , it was alot more fun back then not just because we were younger but like Executioner said things were loose and less uptight.

I was born in '86 and was lucky enough to be dragged(kicking and screaming because I was going to miss a night of TV)by my Dad to the opening show of the Balance tour in Pensacola, FL. I've been a fan ever since more of the Sammy stuff than Dave at first but now I've found a pretty decent balance between Van Roth and Van Hagar. I've seen Sammy a few times since and only seen Roth once and that was last summer. But I've missed the good years of VH live.
