May 11, 1984 at the Cow Palace in San Fransisco. Van Halen with opening band The Velcros. This was a huge show for me- a real big deal. VH were THE band that year during my junior year at Davis High School. Just a perfect show. I can remember being on the barricade right in front of the band for most of the show- right in front of my heroes. The Cow Palace is truly one of the great concert venues. Nothin' fancy, just a great smokey, sweaty room where with the right band on the right night it doesn't get better. Lots of music history in that building. To this day I have still never seen as big a party in the parking lot of any show- there were bottles everywhere. It was a sight to behold. People partied before the concerts in those days like it was an Olympic event
