Cool....  First time I saw those guys was 1984 in Roanoke Va....  Hell of a show !!

Legend has it...or not? This song is about when they were in WS at the Lawrence Joel Collisuim, and played so loud, the roof,( glass windows, close enough,) fell in...

It certainly wasn't the Joel.  The Joel was built after Roth left VH.  Maybe it was the old WS memorial coliseum.  That place was falling apart by the late 70's  I saw Van Halen there, but I don't remember any incidents.  But then that was in my stoner days, so I might not be remembering everything.  :)

Yup, you are correct. U hi.

I witnessed live the attempted comeback of VH a few years ago in Greensboro... DLR was embarrassing.

I witnessed live a show with Sammy Hagar as the frontman and it was pretty damn good.

I witnessed live the first incarnation of VH, right after they changed their name from "Mammoth," sometime in 1973 and it was incredible.... although DLR couldn't sing back then, either.

I saw the original lineup for 1984 tour in Madison Square Garden, saw them probably 3 times with Hagar and also saw the reunion tour a few years ago in Greensboro and I have to agree that DLR sucked hard in Gboro. The 1984 tour was the best but followed closely by the 5150 tour with Hagar, they all seemed to like each other and had fun on stage.  Did Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" as an encore and Michael Anthony sang lead for one verse and he nailed it, it was awesome.

    • Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.
    • That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.
    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
