“Van Halen were on a rocket ride to success by this point, touring in support of their third album “Women And Children First”. The show was SATURDAY July 26th. 1980 at Nassau Coliseum, Hempstead, Long Island, NY. Labeled “The World Invasion Tour” but called the “Party ‘til You Die Tour” by the band themselves. This was the third tour I had seen in a row, basically from the beginning, when they first toured the USA opening for Black Sabbath in 1978.” ~Bill O’Leary

Little did Eddie know his life was about to change forever in about a month from this show in Shreveport, Louisiana!
[…] July 27, 1980 […]
anyone remember Eddies amp blew in the middle of Cradle will Rock? There was a big break while they fixed it and then Roth came out and said..”Have you seen Jr’s grades” and they started up again. Classic
Whoa just listened to the bootleg of that. Nice memory!
