The 1980s was the peak of humanity. The peak of creativity. The last era when things were normal. Human beings were entirely different...almost like an alien species compared to people of today. If you were blessed enough to have experienced the 80s then you are one lucky person.
Greatest comment. I tell this to my 19 year old. It is a lost time that will never return. He has fully embraced 80s music 🎶 Kids have nothing in terms of musical talent to anchor themselves in the current climate. Truly sad.
Exactly those that are around today have lost there minds there where the best days of my life
Man there were cool times in the 90’s too. I’ve seen a ton since being born in 1966. Now I don’t remember much about the 60’s. But the 70’s as a kid was incredible. The 80’s were cool. The 90’s were cool but I get it. That was the start of people and society losing they damn minds.
Absolutly right
80'S STILL ALIVE TODAY IN 2023 AND FOREVER !!!!
THANX ALMIGTHY GOD FOR THIS ALMIGTHY DECADE
So well put.
The 1980’s were the best. I was 18 in 1980, so I was lucky to experience that great time
AMEN or LIKEWISE! In my opinion, the 80s WERE, STILL ARE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, "THE PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!"
These are the best times of my 62 year old life! Thru the 80s are incredible.😊
And this WHY Diamond David Lee Roth will ALWAYS be my number one favorite frontman of all time! Pure magic! Love ya David 😊 #my30yearcrush ❤
Love him or hate him, Roth was larger than life and an amazing front man. What a great rock band.
Love him!
Was? He still is!!!!!
It's really hard to know if you love him or hate him 😂
DAVE was FUNNY .....lol
He’s an incredible front man but he’s really pretty annoying IMO!
You know you’re a boss when someone says “we had to work really hard to contact him in the Amazon jungle” to come home and headline a rock concert. 😂 😂😂😂
Especially in 83’. Not too many satellite phones around then.
This is one of the greatest rock documentaries I’ve ever watched. Thanks for making this! Wow. What a treasure for Fans of the greatest rock band 🎸 ever!!!
Glad you liked it!
David Lee Roth rules!!!
Get a life
@@jamiemoffatt50 😃
I was there for three days. You could never duplicated this again, the world was in a better place back then. Glad I got to see this part of America before we turned into this mess we are today..
I love Diamond Dave! I saw the Van Halen tours and Dave’s Eat Em Smile, Skyscraper, and Little Ain’t Enough tours! Rock on Diamond Dave!
Still one of the best bands . I can’t imagine growing up in the 80’s with out Dave and Eddie
got the first album at 12 years old in the fall of '78....mind blown...
All four really, and its a shame that Michael never got to get back with them.
And Alex and.. only!!!
same
This is going to be a good one!! Roth rules, as he once told Axle Rose and Sebastian Bach in the back of a limousine, how does it feel to be great pretenders to the throne! Long live Diamond Dave, King frontman of rock and roll! Dave built and to this day owns that throne! 🤟
They all tried to be like Diamond Dave. Especially Vince Neil of Motley Crue. Listen to way Neil talked in the 80's. It was so fake. He tried so hard to be like the inimatable Diamond Dave but a keen listener could see right through it. Brett Michaels of Poison did the same thing. Everybody wanted to be Dave. Dude was, and still is, bigger than Elvis
Amen
It was actually in a club, I believe the Rainbow, and he sent both of them a handwritten apology letter afterward. I think they both told the story on Stern.
@@aerlial360 you are right. I just read about this in Sebastians book.
the rainbow was a bar and grill last time I checked, not a club, @@aerlial360
DLR is the greatest frontman of all time. 100%
Ever heard of Freddie Mercury?
@@chrisbyrne5358 of course. DAVID LEE ROTH is the greatest frontman of all time. Nuff said
Roth is the guy at the 13:01 mark. Right?
@@johnnyo8903 Haha!! Nah thats Bobby Blotzer!
@@chrisbyrne5358I'll take Freddie as well. Plus Freddie could really play the piano and had a much better vocal range. Unfortunately he died too young. The positive is he didn't grow old and become a boring parody of himself.
I was there! I was sixteen! I have no idea how my dad let go to that incredible Heavy Metal Sunday concert. I mowed lawns for a month. My ticket was $20 bucks, WOW
I was 17 and i'll never forget walking over the hill and catching my first glimpse of that mile-long rainbow and massive stage. My only regret was not going by the computer tent. Had no idea that Steve Wozniak was who put the whole thing together or the reason why.
awesum
I was there still got the jersey.
@@marlinshanklin-ww7em I still have the jersey. Had the t-shirt too but lost it somewhere along the way. If i remember correctly t-shirts were $10 and the jersey was $15 or $20
A lot of parents back then:
“TWENTY DOLLARS!! You’re NOT spending that much money to go to some concert!”
This was my first ever rock concert. Also the most memorable.
I was there Priest kicked ass🤘🎸
#metoo🎸
It was f in HOT that day... Judas Priest ruled that day!
Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school CA ✌️
Yeah it was smoking hot I lived in North Long Beach then I’ve never seen that many people in my life 🔥
What a first concert. Mine was the Carpenters when I was 8. lol
My God! They were the GODS of ROCK! I have goose bumps! If I could time travel to that show I would stay there forever! Killer video! Thank God for Van Halen!
Yes 🎉❤
Dave still rocks
But can't sing anymore
One of the greatest moments in rock history and will still don't have it properly documented with a DVD/Bluray package. This video though was fantastic!
NONE of it does which is amazing considering APPLE and all.....
Thank you! I will post the other episodes on my channel. 🍻🤘
This show was historic for one reason ya never hear about. It was the last show Eddie ever played
with Frankie, the iconic Frankenstrat.
Thank you Diamond Dave!!!! ❤️❤️❤️. We love you!! ❤️. Thanks for reaching out to us. 💯
Thank you! I will be posting the other episodes on my channel.
Salute to the greatest band to have walked this planet.
Hagar was great. Had all the vocal gymnastics etc. But he would never have the sheer charisma of Roth. Never!
How I would love to have seen this band live/in concert. Alas, they never toured my country. I would pay good money for a decent dvd.
Thank you Dave!!
So happy for you, 😊💯👍Awesome doc. Fantastic. Kudos to you and of course kudos to Diamond Dave for coming to the rescue. He’s the best. ❤️💯
@@krazy11ish Thank yoU!!
👏🤩 this is so fantastic!! incredible documentary!! i was there, i was 13!!😂🤪one of the most fantastic experiences of my life!! ‼ it's incredible to see this footage and hear all the stories...amazing! So thankful to you for making this doc & so happy for you, too, that DLR is helping you get this back on YT...hopefully, we'll be able to see all the episodes, soon. The link to episode #1 is not working here. How can we watch it?
I will be releasing the other 4 episodes on my channel.
@@TheTapesArchive 👏that's seriously great news and really looking forward to seeing them!! can't wait to hear the story, too!! thank you for persisting!! 🙌🤘
It’s very cool of you to have posted this here today. Thanks for sharing! Thanks for all that you are! 🥰
Thank you! I will be posting the other episodes on my channel.
This performance further proves that VH was the greatest American Rock band of all time. DLR was the greatest front man of all time. There was and will be nothing like him. No need to go into EVH. We all know he was the king. And Michael and Alex made all the difference. There is no band today or in History that wanted to come on stage after Van Halen.
David Yow.
" VH was the greatest American Rock band of all time." Never really thought about it....but you could be right here. They are not even close to my pick for Worlds Greatest Rock and Roll Band...THE WHO....or a couple other mostly "British Invasion" bands like Deep Purple. But I do know VH was the BEST rock band that debuted 1978 or later....by FAR. I still think The Beach Boys would have to keep #1 as far as overall importance to American Rock and Roll though. VH gets to be #2.
"There is no band today or in History that wanted to come on stage after Van Halen." Agree 100% because as an "opening act" they blew EVERY headliner off the stage in order, Journey 78, Black Sabbath 78 and the Rolling Stones 81 (I saw all three).
It’s something I’ve thought about often. I’m with you on The Beach Boys as far as song importance, but as the whole enchilada not so much. Then I go back to The Doors, then throw Aerosmith in the mix, then wonder about the classic era of KISS, then wind up coming back to my first thought that classic Van Halen was just fucking untouchable.
WOW! Guess we all have different experiences with Mr Roth, let me share mine. Saw Roth 5 times with VH and once on his own at the Del Mar Fair in SD CA. Starting in 78 after their fist album -- and I was there at the US Festival in 83.
In 78 I was 15 yrs old born and raised in LA County CA, all thee other shows were at the LA Forum.
In 78 Roth performed well *3 songs "I forgot the phucking words" which was funny at the time, went back to school told my friends thought it was a novelty. Then each show after that was a phucking JOKE! I soon realized this guy is not coming prepared to his shows. Only his circus act and outfits are prepared.
More than half the songs Roth never sang `all the lyrics, and the "I forgot the phucking words" was becoming redundant!
It was soooo bad at the US Festival that out of 300k people waiting for the headliner VH, 200k walked out because of Roth. It was like the exodus of Egypt, on the right side of the stage, i'll never forget that image in my mind.
Everyone was saying Scorpions took the show followed by Judas Priest, Triumph and Ozzy. Out of 5 shows with VH Roth was a major major major disappointment 4 out of the 5 shows that I saw VH.
What was mind boggling at the Del Mar Fair in the 90's I took my wife and young daughter to the Fair we watched Roth and lol i'm here to tell you I was freaking out the guy sang all the words/lyrics and no mistakes just put on an epic performance,! Seriously till this day I can't figure it out...? (Why was he so on, and with VH so OFF??)
Roth's gymnastics, outfits and circus act turned into a big phucking joke/mockery because he couldn't remember the words and coming in late on verses and choruses; way too much to list on what I witnessed.
I DO understand it's "show business" but personally i'm not into the Circus Act shat. Saw VH three times with Sammy.
Sammy on the other hand, showed up BIG TIME and gave it 100% with basically no mistakes, maybe a lil human error here or there but live NO PHUCKING COMPARISON WHATSOEVER, Sammy LIVE ruled hands down! With Roth I WANTED 25% OF MY MONEY BACK!!!
Don't believe me about a lol Circus act? Remember when Roth was masturbating with his baton and hit himself in the nose, blood everywhere and beyond broke his nose? I mean Diamond Dave learn your parts first, then jerk off with your baton.
I'm sooo phucking sick of people saying Roth is the greatest. Yes the first four albums VH put out were thee greatest no one can touch that ever I agree *IN THE STUDIO!!.*
But live??!! Live Roth was a joke and an extreme dissapointmen 70% of the time!
Don't believe me? Ask the 200k people who at the US Festival waited for the headliner VH and suffered in the extreme heat just to get the phuck out of there because of Roth.
Whats your top 10 favorite bands? Now imagine seeing said bands and the drummer or the singer or the guitarist "forgets" his or her parts half of the time they're up there lol I mean would you speak up, or shut up??
Sorry Roth will not get a pass with me, maybe with you people that didn't see him live... Just holding up the Mirror, guess y'all don't like what you see and/or like the truth. Not trying to bash Mr Roth just telling my experiences, and sick of hearing lmAO "he's the greatest" shat.
Couldn't imagine paying high dollar to see Elton John or whoever and he's phucking up every 3rd song lol. Peace (and sorry long winded.)
I worked both US Festivals. Put up the chain link fences, the tent company we hooked up with brought the Bolivian marching powder to VH. There wasn't an ATM with cash within 100 miles. They were glad to see us after the shows to even up. VH was way happy for the attention they got from us. No charge.
I’m love these pictures and Dave’s voice being ad libbed. I read his book which describes his adventure in the jungle and what a trip that seemed to be!
Well, I saw all of that with my own eyes, and heard all of that with my own ears -- and it gave me tinnitus for three days. The mighty Van Halen was the greatest rock band ever. I was a month shy of 17 when I witnessed it on 2/1/1983 in Porto Alegre, the southernmost capital city of Brazil, and I'll never forget it! I thank you, Dave, Mike, Alex and (wherever you are) Eddie!
Well done! Im in my mid 50s this was the most amazing performance when I was 13 ish. Made an indelabe impression on my life.
Ive seen many descriptions of Halens adventure at the US Festival over the years. This was by far the best one!
BTW... Dave did the" I forgot the fukin words" at every concert back then. It was meant to show that they were just flippent and didnt take things seriously. Just like..." look at all of the people here tonight!"
I remember that! I was 13 in 1983, and I remember the commercials, the merch, the excitement… I was too young to attend that concert, but that musical energy (And Dave’s energy) was bigger than life to me back then! 83-85 = The Best time to be a teen!
It's funny how many urban legends have surrounded the story of VH and the US Fest. I had always heard that Dave flew in from the Amazon the day before the show. And I thought that was the case - until today when I watched this doc. 😂 So glad Dave is supporting and spreading this dude's awesome VH work.
Thank you! I will post the other episodes on my channel. 🤘🍻
6:48 I always love when David Lee Roth was walking into the stadium on this festival. He was saying “yes, we’re the best” 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, there was another pretty hungry, fast-and-furious, up-and-coming heavy metal band that in and around the time of the 1983 US Festival were still in NY, finishing their first album, they were from L.A. originally, too but lets say the early 80's metal scene couldn't handle them there, so they relocated to S.F., made it their new home/headquarters and over the next decade, became a heavier, faster, more aggressive form of music Van Halen could ever dream of.
That band was Metallica and if 1983/84 was where Van Halen began reaching their creative/artistic peak, their worst, unadulterated forms of excesses began to slowly to rot the group from within, whereas Metallica was hungry, angry, ready to seek and destroy not just the heavy metal universe, but eventually a portion of late 20th century American music.
Metallica was the Led Zeppelin of Gen-X, my generation as Zeppelin was from the late 60's-1980. That's the best, most accurate musical analogy I can compare Metallica to and even most of their hardcore fans I've talked to over the years agree with that analogy.
More than ever... NOW!
Thanks, #DiamondDave
VH will always be an amazing milestone in rock history. With that being said, to make the claim Triumph was past their prime is sophomoric. Their performance is posted on YT and they were tight and on that day. Ric Emmett is an underappreciated and extremely talented guitar player and way better singer than DLR.
Ric Emmett is a very underrated guitarist and a very intelligent charismatic Canadian and I remember watching this on MTV in parts stretched out over probably 6 Saturday nights and probably the last two broken down episodes repeated twice. Played like the actual concert. In genres. Great memories for a wide eyed 12 year old lol.
Triumphs performance was too me top 3. I had an album or 2 being from TO, so Canadian music was pushed on radio stations but their performance in the broad daylight either before Motley Crue or right after was energized and tight with Emmett playing fantastic guitar and singing his heart out while doing the hard rock triathalon and stealing the show. Not bad for another power trio hailing from Toronto
Watching this and the part where they are playing ice cream man came on. I’m reminded of what an incredible solo Ed laid down on that. The stretch is insane.
We rented a '82 Cavalier in Vegas on Saturday morning and drove to Devore. We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs kicked in. Got to Glen Helen Saturday night and partied all night in the parking lot. Will never forget the sunrise that Sunday morn as we made our way to the gates. Tix were $20. After the show Sun. nite the pkg lot traffic jam was insane. They had dirt-made burms to guide traffic. I dug out much as i cld of the burm with my bare hands. Got back in the Cav and punched it like Dukes of Hazzard. No time to wait, had to be in Vegas to catch a 8am flight home and barely made it bc we still had to stop at the Las Vegas Hilton to get our things. Most memorable event of my life. And we did it all for Van Halen.
Thank you for getting this back up Dave!! 🤘
10000% Thank you! I will post the other episodes on my channel. 🤘🍻
As a stroke surviving drummer of the 80s & early 90s who definately got wtf ever it was to get, & then some "now" lol, I always thought DLR was cool, but the past few yrs of watching clips & interviews, I realize he was much more than just cool, he was, & will always be legend. Seriously, I dont really keep up with the Taylor Swifts, Eminems, or whatevers popular these days, all I know is its no way in fucking hell, they could ever come close to living what he lived in that limited access / actual rock star era, & live to tell about it lol. DLR for the win! #themoreyouknow
Thanks Dave for putting this up, I missed its original post. Great to see!
Thank you! I will be posting the other episodes on my channel.
Nice one Dave🙌🏼. As it’s been said, It’s brilliant to see this supported by you 🍻
Thank you for posting this gold.
Waheeee! Thank you David! 🤘😎
Good stuff. This was the prime of my life and it wouldn't have been the same without the mighty VanHalen ... and priest was bad ass that day too.
Great story man. Was 19 when i went to US 83. Nothing vould ever beat this concert.
Van Halen fan here for over 40 years.
When I was growing up I tried desperately to learn to play the guitar and had long blonde hair.
I thought I could be a combination of Eddie and David together.
Well neither one worked out lol.
Still they rock to this day I crank him just as loud as I possibly can.
Miss Eddie seems like the world's not the same without him.
Good video.
This is why the DLR version of VH will forever rule!
Amen!!!!!
There really wasn't a Van Halen after Dave left
@@williamsherman1089I agree 110%..!!
@@williamsherman1089Amen!
Dave, you shall forever be the "Diamond" one!
As much as I love VH, Triumph stole the show that day, and the commentary should have reflected a little better. They were on tour at the time, and were tight as shit.
Remember having the US fest bootleg and watching it till the tape started to crumble.
There was something to be said about having less choice of entertainment, unlike today.
Watching my only copy of the US fest fade away like a memory, actually had the opposite affect and thus solidified that concert as a decade defining moment in my mind.
There is no US in the me generation. For now anyway.
Triumph who ? lol Triumph never stole any show from Van Halen . Most people took a pee break during triumph even though for Canadians playing a bigger show than the national population of Canada they did well .
BEST weekend musically, i've EVER had!! so blessed to live in the greatest years of Merica! miss my country formerly known as America😢
Thank you @TheTapesArchive ! I didn’t know all the back stories, giving me deeper insights! I didn’t go to the show but I taped the Van Halen portion when they broadcasted on TV and watched so many times…. Good times! 🎉
Very welcomed!! I'll be dropping the other episodes on my channel.
This awesome documentary is finally back online!
Thank you! I will be posting the other episodes on my channel.
I SURVIVED THE 80S!!! ALL OF IT!!!❤❤❤😂
This was an absolutely amazing and legendary performance, period. 🔥🤘🏻
DLR my favorite and that era of VH was the BEST. I saw them twice in the 80s, absolutely amazing.
What an amazing time to be alive.
The editing in the section where Dave is laughing hysterically, and Mark Goodman is just looking at him sideways had me in tears! Excellent video series
Really happy to see this work recognized, and appreciated. Thanks Dave. I’ve followed.
The one music event I wish I would have witnessed.
Greatest band ever!
Was at Castle Donington in 84 and that was a special day too
Thank you, Alan Berry, for this GREAT video of VAN HALEN!!!!!!!
Let's hope that this recording will survive whatever next massive collapse of humanity is to come next, such that the next civilization to rise will see this was the pinnacle of our achievement this go around.
I loved this! It's also time for a proper video of the concert! Long Live THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN!!!!!
Still the greatest front man.. that’s MY OPINION!!
DLR comes through for us again !!! Great Documentary!!!
We saw you at Selland Arena in Fresno... Sept 1978.... you were the warm up band for Black Sabbath... we weren't going to see BS but this new band that was supposed to be amazing... you did not disappoint.. BEST BAND EVER!!!!
I remember the US Festival advertised on KBOS FM 95 from Tulare, CA. I was living in Bumfuck, Egypt Woodlake at the time and was 13. I wanted to go so bad, but no one would drive me down all that way. Van Halen was and still is my all time favorite band. That early era was gold.
Wow, many thanks for this memorable concert.
Cheers from Italy.
Nicely done. An awesome performance of a legendary band that is missed dearly.
"Disobedience is the true foundation of being Van Halen fan. The obedient must be slaves" - Henry David Thoreau
I was there for all three days it was a gift from my mom before I went to the United States army overseas I was there that night 20 yd away from the front it was extremely hot that night in fact the whole weekend was horrible I saw things I'll never see again. Thanks Mom for the gift of a lifetime
Absolutely amazing to finally see at least one episode of this documentary. Fantastic work from the Tapes Archive. Thanks David Lee Roth! You are my hero.
This concert/performance needs a proper release.
Great Documentary and to me this is what rock n roll is all about having a good time so what if every note og vocal is not perfect looks like a great show
We do need him now more than ever!!!!!💯✊👍🏻🌿🛠🍀🙏☮️💕
Roth knew his audience and played to its desires. The crowds at his shows may have enjoyed themselves, but that was collateral to Roth impressing his biggest fan, himself.
I’ll never forget being no older than 5 and seeing the video for Just A Gigalo on MTV. I was mesmerized by Dave and his larger than life persona. Good times
This and Cal Jam 2 were my largest rock festivals I attended
So you remember those Cal Jam rainbows that spanned the stage at Ontario. What'd you think when you saw that mile long rainbow across the US stage? Was that amazing or what?
@@m00ndawg I believe those rainbows were at the first Cal Jam
@@daredevildaryl2645 Gotcha. The one with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Still Cal Jam 2 had to be an amazing show. Aerosmith, Nugent, Foreigner and Heart all in their prime
I had to go watch it.
I didn't even know you had this going on I was listening to fair warning album ( your best vocals)and looked u up. I saw you in Houston in I think in 79 you had a white cowboy hat and dressed in white smoked a hit with Eddie talked Abt his red eyes and played awesome acoustic guitar sitting down on ice cream man I was 14 yo and my brother I'm still a fan of yours Van Halen ended the day you left the Van Halen brothers band with Sammi were ok but they weren't Van Halen just pretending cause without you there is no Van Halen peace and good health to you. Thank you for the nice times your music gave and gives me
Goosebumps. YEA BABY!!!!
Thank you Dave for posting this! This is such a great video,.
This should be teached in school ! \m/ LONG LIVE THE MASTER !!
Not bad. Thanks for making it. You definitely brought up some good points that I never knew about this historic concert.
Great voice over, voice. Thanks for the hard work to let is see this part of music history. What an epic concert. How cool is that to spend millions to bring together such a great bunch of musicians.
Thank you! I will be posting the other episodes on my channel.
"You can't squirt water on me!..........I'm gonna f your girlfriend!" 🤣
Thanks for posting, this was great! In typical DLR fashion, he sure knew how to push the buttons on The Clash - LOL.
AWESOME VIDEO OF THE BEST GUITARIST OF THE 20th CENTURY. VAN HALEN ROCKS FOREVER. I GOT TO SEE THEM FOUR TIMES. ALL THREE LEAD SINGERS. AWESOME 🇺🇸💜🎸
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!
Thank you! I will release the other episodes on my channel. 🤘
I was fortunate enough to be there as I worked for VH in the early 80's. An experience I will never forget.
David Lee Roth,la voce più bella in assoluto!
F’in’ AWESOME job here, bud!! Thank you for letting me re-live this moment in time. I was completely unaware of the VH/Clash rivalry. A bit immature but epic just the same.
Ahh yes US Festival. There for every moment.
Thanks for the smiles today Dave
The Van Halen years was the epitome of of Rock n Roll. When you're 13 in 1983 and this is what you are witnessing .....everything else is a let down. And has been for over 30 years.
Me being 23 was even better!!🥂
Us boomers were the luckiest generation in every way!💃
@terra2730 My musical impressions started with Van Halen around 13, before that it was my Dad's A.M. car radio.
To start out with such an over-the- top band.....to me no other band was so exciting.
@@bobc.5698 My fav band was Boston! 🥂
Memory Lane. Made the drive with 3 friends from San Diego, California. I was 19 at the time. Our goal was to work our way as close to the stage as possible once the first act started. By the time the Scorpions took the stage we were pretty close. It took us at least 8 to 10 hours and worth every minute! Favorite performances were Judas Priest, Scorpions and Van Halen. I still have my ticket stub from this iconic music event. So cool to see this footage there's not much in the internet with US festival coverage. Thanks to whom ever posted this for everyone to see!
Triumph's best days weren't behind them (?) They still had 2 major selling albums ahead of them and major hits.
I caught that, too. Triumph's biggest ever radio hit came 3 years later.
@@termsofusepolice indeed 👍
I love it all. Especially the bits id never seen before. And personally, i think DLR railing against the stupid clash was on point and hilarious. With Dave, don't dish it out ud tiy can't take it...baby. 😅
Thank you! I will be posting the other episodes on my channel.
Yes we need you more than ever now!
For just $20 a ticket, I have one of my most memorable events of my youth! Those were definitely a great time to be a music fan, especially heavy metal. The night before when we got there, with so much booze and other stuff, we celebrated with excess like VH. In the morning we barely made our way to the gate, wearing my camouflage Iron Maiden (#of beast tour)jersey, every artist killed it. From bang ur head, to looks that kill, to Jake's first gig, to JP & Scorps epic performance. Then the local boys from Pasadena inviting us to their party onstage. 🤘🏼🎸
I was there.83
The 82 Show In Landover Maryland At The Cap Center Was Awesome !!!! Its Under V.H. Largo 82 !!!! True VH. All Together Before Krazy Ideas Started Slidein Threw VH....
Oh what a focking trip!
