This Day in CVH/DLR History
1978
Van Halen plays the The Orpheum Theater in Madison, WI. Journey and Montrose are the headliners. While in Madison, WI, the band destroyed the entire 7th floor of the Sheraton Inn. Alex and David removed the screen from Edward's window and threw his table and chairs outside to the ground below. Edward retaliated by going to the front desk and telling the clerk he was David Lee Roth and had lost his room keys. He then slipped into Roth's room and took Roth's table and chairs and put them in his own room. The police were confused, as Edward's screen was missing but he had a table and chairs, while Roth had a screen but was missing his furniture. This incident was just one of many such tales of pillage and destruction over the years. By 1980 Van Halen was racking up damages on almost every stop, ranging from the seemingly harmless act of smashing a hotel lamp to punching holes into the walls of hotel room after hotel room.
1984
Van Halen plays the Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, OH. Autograph is the opening act.
1994
David Lee Roth releases Your Filthy Little Mouth. David Lee Roth solo album released on 3/08/94. He went for diversity on this album covering Willie Nelson's "Night Life," enlisting the talents of country star Travis Tritt for a duet on "Cheatin' Heart Café," and adding a taste of Jamaica with "No Big 'Ting."
The only video made for the album was for "She's My Machine," which according to Roth, was a love song to his car. Tracks: • She's My Machine • Everybody's Got the Monkey • Big Train • Experience • A Little Luck • Cheatin' Heart Cafe • Hey, You Never Know • No Big 'Ting • You're Breathin' It • Your Filthy Little Mouth • Land's Edge • Night Life • Sunburn • You're Breathin' It (Urban NYC Mix)
The supporting tour was originally scheduled to span the globe, but shows in Puerto Rico, Japan, Ireland, England, Germany, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, France, Belgium, Holland, Austria, and Italy were cancelled, most likely based on poor ticket sales in the United States.
