    VH 1978 In-Store Appearance

    Courtesy VHND.... Please don't copy/paste the pics....

    Here's something very cool from the VHND.com archives...15 photos of Van Halen making a special in-store appearance at a record store during their first world tour back in 1978! A promotional flyer on the wall shows an image of Van Halen's only album cover and reads "APPEARING IN STORE FRIDAY 2:30 - 4:00". Check out all the teenage fans who showed up. Can you imagine hanging out with Van Halen for 90 minutes on a Friday afternoon in a record store? Note that the band is drinking cans of Schlitz Malt Liquor - their favorite beer at the time. Also note all the signed albums and the promotional poster on the wall - all of which would be highly valued collectibles now, assuming any of those items are still around 33 years later. We hope you enjoy all these never-before-seen photos! (Only ONE of which has ever circulated online

              Alex looked like the biggest stoner in those days. Mostly girls coming for autographs.

                      Back when women called me sexy instead of creepy.

                          Awesome pics. It doesn't seem to say in the article where the pics were taken. Probably CA?
