VAN HALEN / Black Cats

Capo Jun 30, 2022

My second Van Halen show. They were now headling the big arenas and had a huge stageshow to match. Van Halen always, for me, had the loudest and most rowdy crowds of all the shows I attended through the years. Eddie was pure magic on guitar, always the highlight of any Van Halen show. David Lee Roth was now more interested in being the head entertainer then singing the songs. But that what you got at a Halen show and no one complained. Bombastic and high energy show. Openers Black Cats only made it through a couple of songs before being booed off and pelted by thrown stuff. As I said elsewhere, Phoenix had a great rep for being tough on opening acts.
