    Hi from the UK

    Been a VH fan for a long time , since 1978. Saw the classic VH at the now defunct Rainbow Theatre in London in both 1979 and 1980 and at Monsters of Rock at Donnington in 1984. Used to have all the early bootlegs on cassette tape !! Only regret is they didn't tour in the UK to support Fair Warning , had to console myself with listening to the Greensboro mixing board tape over and over again , the one with the extended intro to On Fire , classic VH !!!

    Sadsy, I was at that Rainbow gig in 1980!!

    Remember Dave with the bottle of Vodka/Gin/ whatever it was, telling us all that Whitesnake had to cancel their Hammy show due to a bad throat.

    "I told him man........you can drink the beer, but don't drink the fuckin' water!!!!

    Marvellous stuff!!

    You drink whats in the bottle and then you piss what you drank back into it and throw it. Hey. That way you don't have to miss part of the show to run to the lav for a leak.

    I could play "Stairway To Heaven" when I was 12. Jimmy Page didn't actually write it until he was 22. I think that says quite a lot.

    Welcome, man. Greensboro 81 was always one of my fave boots. Still have half of it on vinyl! For some reason the copy I bought only had one disc ...

    I should say my Greensboro vinyl was an audience recording, but still one of the most sizzling boots I ever heard. Version of Ice Cream Man is amazing, with DLR on top form

    Well if it wasn't a soundboard version it's amazing quality , noteworthy for the jam at the start of On Fire because the bass wasn't working or something.

    Donington that year was immense. They were great festivals in those days. Less corporate and more just about rock n roll.
    What a fight to get it right, For a minute of delight . . .
