    I first saw them live in 1980, it was a butt kicking concert...their concerts were auesome!

      Dang! Lucky. I'm trying to think what acts I saw in their "prime". Beastie Boys 1994, Smashing Pumpkins '94, Guided By Voices 90's, INXS '86, Weird Al Yankovic '84, Night Ranger '84, Metallica '89. But Metallica's prime was a bit earlier before Cliff Burton passed. Saw Ramones 3 times in '96 and Neil Young & Crazy Horse, they were aging but great! On an extreme music note Napalm Death was awesome. They pummel but they scream for peace and justice

    I was 17 years old in June of 1988. My parents got me and several friends tickets to see Van Halen in Tampa for my graduation. Imagine standing outdoors at night in front of the stage, watching Eddie do this live. RIP to the goat!

      You might remember it, but Eddie didn't. When interviewed about it later, he said he was so drunk he doesn't even remember playing that show. That's why Sammy was clowning as if Ed needed help climbing up on the riser. He knew Ed had been drinking all day long and was absolutely shattered.

    Most definitely an eargasim! Eddie Vanhalen the KING OF GUITAR .He played his first concert at 14. Eddie changed guitar forever. The music world had to create a new style of writing music.... called tablature-tabs the only way to put his music on sheet music. He perfected(not created) tapping. In the 70s . Such a total mind blow. Can you imagine hearing this 50 years ago?!?!?!!!! Pure alien music. The man was WAY ahead of his time; by light years 😂😂😂. He was an innovator he made that guitar in his basement out of different guitar parts. He created the first super-fuzz pickup. And he named that guitar the frankinstrat. Wish he was still with us. Check out where Eddie plays for Les Paul. It is a historical piece. Let me know what you think about it. LEGENDARY

    In case no one told you, the guitarist is Eddie Van Halen. His brother Alex Van Halen is the drummer. They named the band after themselves.
    Their first name for the band was Mammoth. Eddie's son, Wolfgang Van Halen named his band Mammoth. He currently tours. Check him out. His father Eddie and Uncle Alex taught him to play multiple instruments.

    *Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Healey - 'Look At Little Sister'* ua-cam.com/video/2HmLFyvFxTc/v-deo.html
    Stephen Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 Dallas Texas - August 27, 1990) died in a helicopter crash in Chicago heading from the airport to the venue.
    Jeff Healy (March 25, 1966 Ontario Canada - March 2, 2008 Ontario Canada) When he was almost one year old, Healey lost his sight due to retinoblastoma, a rare cancer of the eyes. His eyes had to be surgically removed, and he was given ocular prostheses.
    On January 11, 2007, Healey underwent surgery to remove metastatic cancer tissue from both lungs. In the previous 18 months, he had two sarcomas removed from his legs. On March 2, 2008, Healey died of sarcoma in his home town of Toronto at the age of 41.
