Best CVH Tour? Share your Story!

I never saw the Diver Down or 1984 tours. I would venture to say their best tours were


1. 1979
2. 1978
3. 1981

in that order... IMHO.

I was at the 1980 World Invasion tour also, October 10th at the Oakland Colliseum... it was Dave's birthday and he was very drunk, forgetting the words to every song... they rolled a massive cake onto the stage and a chick popped out. I do remember that it was a big disappointment after seeing them in 1979.

In 78 and 79 Van Halen was ALL business about performing their music. In 1980 we got another version of Van Halen; the party-till-you-pass-out-who-gives-a-fuck version.

In 1981 they were back in business again... that tour was almost as good as the 79 tour I saw... almost.

Totally agree.

Saw them twice in '79 and it was mind-numbingly good.

Saw them in '80 and it was a a major disappointment.


Not that it matters, but I thought I remembered "Joe" as being a shotgun. Then again, it's been a while.

You might be right.
