Bad ass! I love stories like that. I was at the El Paso show, also presented here. I remember that show with such detail because I was in Awe! It was my first concert ever and well; the rest is history.

I was at this concert. My brother was the one that pulled David Lee Roth off stage. We are also the one that took the inside album cover of the Fair Warren album and drawer it on a king size sheet. We got back stage passes from Van Halen they liked it so much. I still have my concert ticket I never used still intact. Kim Prince Carter here look me up on Facebook… (People that draw the sheet was: Lisa Luper,Tommy Luper and Kim Prince Carter)

I was there with 2 of my best buds. My most vivid memory was seeing DLR at the holiday inn after the show surrounded by over 50 females…. What a great show
