    When did Dave actually start jumping?

    I just pulled out 'Crazy From The Heat' book a few nights ago as was in need of a rebrush. Anyway, one thing that caught my attention was that Dave says he started jumping around on the Van Halen stage in 1979 in Oakland. However, in the photo section there's a pic of Dave doing his trademark jump off the drum-riser - as "Air Roth Opening Act 1978"? That picture certainly looks like 1978 given Dave's attire and the 1st album logo at the back.

    Well, just a tiny descrepancy can anyone evaluate on?

              Perhaps refraining from posting totally dumbass comments would lessen the amount of posts you make getting flushed.

              Nothing personal. Just thinking out loud.

                  i remember readin' his book, and once in paris i think, when the lights came up, he jumped and they had lowered a disco ball and he cracked his nose.
                  Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

                            You can look at what they're wearing and tell which tour it was.
