That was the magic era. David Lee Roth as singer, Eddie’s guitar was more raw than later years and Michael Anthony’s backing vocals. That was the real Van Halen.

Agreed, Roth was one of the best front men ever, up there Mick and Mercury.

Van Halen really was the first hard rock band that chicks could like, without becoming a “chick band”.
