Van Halen

[311splawndude]

I'm making a Van Halen tribute thread.

Just random pics and videos.

I may reserve a post for gear related stuff but I'm no authority on the matter so if peeps want to contribute that kind of info - I will stick it there.









1984 Castle Donington show (rare) one of Dave's last shows. Downloaded to DropBox by @RevDrucifer

Here you go- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bs8s...1984.mp4?rlkey=v9xi7kxh019ygdwy0o2d4gmrr&dl=0

(For those who haven't seen it yet, the audio doesn't kick in right away. It also cuts at the end when they go back to the dressing room. And no, there's no tits)

(your favorite video here - post 'em so I can see 'em)

I was at the VH concert with Gary Cherone singing, at Riverport. Kenny Wayne Shepard opened and absolutely ripped it up.
