So just to recap, lol, because I have the stubs here now....I saw them in Seattle in 1978, and in Wichita 1979, 1981, and 1982.
Of course if I had been older and wiser, I would have gone to see them in Tulsa, OKC, Salina, and KC every chance I got.
One of the members of -The RA- is a South American lady (Katina) she has a pic of her legs or knees or a foot or something ..lol..( kinda hot pic)..and she is pov across the book legs behind the book, and out to a blue sky, while she lazy's on a beach and the CFTH book is, soft cover ...I didn't know it came out in soft cover, I would have bought two.
I proudly display the book on my shelf with my "book collection" as you can tell from my typing skills I have a shelf with 7 books on it..lol.
As you may know from lurking here some of members here are very knowlegable about CVH..I... not so much, more of a super fan with a bad memory.
Saw the first tour summer of 78 both dates in K.C. Hooked from then on.
The "KC Star" newspaper archives, may have some good research material for you.

Ed had the Amps rocking so much, I thought they werre going to fall over!
I hate to nitpick, but I believe the opener was not The Scream, but Screams. Can't be sure if I am correct on that, but I believe that is two different bands. Yes, the got boo'd loudly!
I got as close as I did to take that pic of Ed because my friend Barrie and I were little high school punks, and we were getting smashed into the barrier. Crushed. Literally. We knew the security guy inside the barrier, Heavy, because he worked all the shows, and we went to all the shows. Everybody else they hauled over, they took out. He let Barrie and I watch the show from there. I was literally leaning on the stage. His only statement to us was "Don't put more than half your body up on the stage, or you're out". I got a hat from Dave. Guitar pick from Ed. Drum stick from Al. This girl ripped Barries shirt off, and it was hanging by on diagonal thread down the chest. We rode dirt bikes, and it was a motocross shirt. Had a guy flying out of the dirt on a dirt bike on the back. Dave grabbed it and put it on, and then turned his back to the crowd so they could see the motocross guy, and raised his fists in the air. I didn't get that pic, because I had run out of film. To this day, Barrie gives me shit about that! It was truly a religious experience.
I live and breathe this band. This band has meant more to my life than they will ever know. My family thinks I am certifiable. I don't give a fuck. I could have much worse addictions. Van Halen is a passion for me.
Dude, I appreciate what you are doing. I appreciate your passion and dedication to this band.
This is why I love this site. OUR site. The fans of the only version of Van Halen that matters. The one quarterbacked by Diamond David Lee Roth.
People like ffoner makes all the retarded in fighting and bullshit we put up with on a daily basis, worth it. The few of you that want to fuck around, and try to rain on our parade, it will NEVER happen. You will NEVER dampen my passion for Van Halen.
We may have gotten a little side tracked recently, but make no mistake about it. We are the DLR ARMY! We are the biggest baddest loudest motherfucking fan site on the internet. I will put our history, dedication and knowledge up against anyone out there.
NOBODY RULES THESE STREETS AT NIGHT, BUT US, MOTHERFUCKERS!
Again ffoner. Thanks!
Isn't that something?
Do you think these guys REALLY understand how many lives they have literally changed?
Hey today's rappers are changing lives too. They are KILLING them, and each other! How many of those rap fucks will have sites dedicated to them 35 years from now? ZERO!
Van Halen will still be played over the speaker systems at major events 35 years from now!
About the amp head sitting on the 4 x 12 in that photo of VH from 1975, it is not a guitar amp. It is apparently a Shure Vocal Master PA head.

Von....you may not believe this but you are the reason I signed up here back in about 2001 or so.
Heavy died that year (or thereabouts), and for some reason I was doing a web search on him.
I found a post here at Roth Army where you were talking about him, and after looking around the forums, I realized I had found a new home on the internet.
Heavy was a great friend. Lotsa great stories to tell. I had some fun adventures with him.
Did you see the Black Sabbath concert at Henry Levitt Arena in November of 1980 on the Heaven & Hell tour? Heavy was there that night. That was the night when some idiot had booked the new wave band "The Clocks" to open for them, and they had so much change thrown at them by the crowd that Heavy said he and the other local crew guys each had 50 bucks in change easy....the stage was ankle deep in trash and change, lol.
Wow....I just did a web search....seems he died in February of 1999. I found this online memorial to him:

The bands name was screams. They were booed off also chants of van halen during there show did not help.Rail was another opener that got booed off.
Yes, you are right. I would have said "Screams", but I have found some entries on the net where they were called "The Scream". Does not matter. Either way they fucking sucked.
The Scream was the band John Corabi was in before he joined Motley Crue, no?
Going to get another beer, no time to Google.
