I was at my friend's Matt's house (parents were rich) on the hills and so we got US from his backporch....granted not front row...but free as we hung out all weekend, the noise would wash....closest I ever got to the original lineup...sigh. Junior in HS and unaware that life would not be forever.

[SunisinuS]

Fuck. I know of no one that could do this 30 years later.

1983. After the last day of school we piled into my friends Porsche Targa and drove to the US Festival. I was there. I remember when Van Halen went on it was freezing cold.

The US Festival was done right. Steve Wozniak did an excellent job putting it together and he was willing to spend the money to do it right. Plus, people were different then. Even if it was done right today, the audience still might riot. I didn't realize it would be considered one of the great festivals at the time. Dave was pretty fucked up that night too.

Yup. It ran all Memorial Day weekend and we had tickets for Heavy Metal day. Lot's of good bands, sunburn, and freezing at night. With that many people you never have enough piss/shit closets either.

I just finished reading Woz's autobiography, iWoz. He lost $12,000,000 on the concert.

Here is what he had to say about VH on page 256:

You know, I was overpaying bands like crazy. I mean, with Van Halen, I paid a million and a half for it's one appearance. I later heard that was the single highest amount paid for a band. And David Lee Roth, though he was nice and cordial when I met him, was practically falling down onstage., He was so drunk, sluring and forgetting lyrics and everything.

Here is what he had to say about VH on page 256:

My brother went to Stanford and was in the Home Brew Computer Club there. Woz and Jobs were members and would drive down from Berkley. He told me the story of when Woz came in with this box made out of plywood crudely nailed together but when everyone saw it used a monitor and keyboard it floored the whole club. That was the begging of Apple. Woz is still a major stockholder in the company and if you've seen it's stock price lately, Woz could throw another US Fesival if he wanted to.
