The one and only time I saw Van Halen was at the 1983 US Festival in CA. They say that David Lee Roth was drunk at that concert but he and the rest of the band still put on quite a show. I thought both Eddie and the bass player were incredible. The guy on drums was pretty good too. But I remember David Lee Roth the most, he was constantly shouting out at the audience, talking trash about The Clash, and bragging about how many arrests there were outside the venue before the show (”We have way more arrests this year than last year, man! You guys ROCK!”). <> I was in my early 20s and it was a fun time. Today, that kind of music mostly gives me a headache.
I was at that show with the band Triumph. I was filling in for their normal Monitor Engineer on that part of their tour.
