May 1978-
A group of friends and I camped in front of the ticket window of  Long Beach arena, to get tickets for VH's debut album tour. I believe it was one of their earliest big arena gigs.

There was a high school prom going on and kids were asking us who we were waiting for. Most of them didn't even know who Van Halen was. If you were a teenager living in the Pasadena/LA area, you or a friend attended a house party with VH playing.

Eddie is one of the rare rock guitarist post "Classic Rock" to make an impact in the R&R world after 1980. After their debut album, I lost interest.
