Official and Unofficial Van Halen Tour Names

[Nickdfresh]

I think the tour for Women and Children First was called:

"Women and Children First, Husbands and Boyfriends Last Tour."

Diver Down:

The "Hide Your Sheep Tour."

What were the others?

[EAT MY ASSHOLE]

"Die Laughing", I believe, for 1984. Or was that DD, and "HYS" for WACF?

HYS was for DD.
Invasion was for the 78 tour.
Vacation was for 79.

I think...

Correction: the 1980 Tour was called the 'Invasion'.

79 was probably called 'World Vacation' (that one was unofficial -- Dave just used to call it that during the shows).

And yes, Hide Your Sheep was the DD tour.
