    Nice poster. I've seen it a couple times before around here. Very cool indeed. VH the way it should be always.

      $3 for Van Halen!!??

      You coulda seen them 50 times back then for what it costs to see them once now. I wonder what ever became of those other bands on the bill.

        The nice thing is it was posted by a non-VH friend on FB. Makes it even cooler.

        Oh dear.

          Thanks for the post, Shoes. Great stuff!

          I remember when everyone did those hand drawn maps on their flyers......long before the days of Google Maps and color copying!

            Back when people cared about saving 50 cents. I wonder how much a gallon of gasoline cost then?

              Hard to believe Eulogy never name it big with such a killer name.

                Google says... In 1975, the US national average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was 57 cents. That is equal to about $2.31 per gallon in 2010 dollars.

                  Copies of these VH flyers show up from time to time on ebay. It would be neat to have in a frame in the Van Halen shrine room. What would be really cool would be to have some of the gold records but damn those things are expensive.

                      I remember the early 80's (maybe mid) where gas at AM-PM was .86 cents per gallon. I didnt drive yet, but we would pitch in for 1 guys pickup and all go to the beach. Everyone would toss in a couple quarters or maybe $1 and he would put the $4-$6 in his tank. That was all it took for a whole day of riding around & doing stuff. Back when it was still legal for 7 of us to sit in the bed of the truck going down the freeway.


                      I miss those days. Glad my mind is still in a condition to remember them well.

                          They sure played with Stormer a lot. Wonder what ever came of those guys. They need to be contacted and thoroughly interviewed.

                          And Yankee Rose, how about that? That name sure stuck in Dave's head.
