Saw Van Halen in Augusta GA on their '1984' tour. When they started to play 'Jump', a cord to the synthesizer came loose, and Eddie told Alex and Mike to vamp while he climbed down through those risers and reconnected the cord.

I've had a couple of gigs where we, the local pickups, were offered the 'pleasure of the table'. Sometimes there's some unusual stuff. 8~)

Well I saw the Fair Warning Tour before Jump at Madison Square Garden. Who knew that would be the height of their success. Back then they could destroy a room due to brown M&Ms being in the room. They were nuts then. Who knew it would get so sad to today.

I miss the old VH.

And back then there was certainly lots of things passed around.
