My name is ruben Rodriguez, I was there , they opened up for Black Sabbath , it was a great show and the times were very different than today
-
Sometimes people forget how light on his feet Eddie was… The whole band/show was so physical, virile, athletic, and all in the happiest of ways🤘🏽🤙🏽🤘🏽
-
This is unreal. Must watch rock n roll history right here. One can't overstate how fresh, authenticate, and talented these guys were in 1978. As pioneers, they totally changed the rules of the game.

Eddie was way ahead of everyone and still is. RIP legend

What an amazing arttifact. There was nothing, just no nothing like this before. It was like a burning meteor in the sky, the energy, the 100% velocity and virtuosity that re-lit rock from the edge of obsolescence and irrelevance and started a whole revolution in hard rock and metal. Amazing to see this incandescence

I was 12 years old and remember saying I want to play guitar like him. 46 years later, I still cant! RIP EVH!
-
DAVE In the early yrs was like a physical embodiment of what V.H. Was all about great times ,awesome music and having fun ..RIP KING EDWARD...
-
1978. Can you imagine witnessing that EVH solo back then? What a seminal moment vs everything else out there. Mind blowing.
-
ABSOLUTELY GREAT TO SEE THIS EARLY VAN HALEN CONCERT..
-
I saw them for the first time at 15 years old in 1980 and every tour after with DLR so until '84. We stood for the whole show, nobody wanted to sit down...too much energy. So glad to have been born when I was.
-
This should be in the Library of Congress in their historic recordings collection. As for Diamond Dave, maybe he did/does have an exaggerated opinion of himself, but what a showman he was. I don't think anyone has been a better front man.
-
Saw them twice in '78. The first show was just shocking. This was the opener. We had never seen a band this tight and never heard guitar like that. And Roth was almost as incredible as Ed. It's no wonder he has no voice left. I was a huge Sabbath fan but they were an afterthought that night.
-
The greatest accomplishment of this show is that the floyd rose tremelo didn't even exist yet!😮
-
Imagine being Black Sabbath having to go on after that high energy, virtuosity filled, party atmosphere, fun song Van Halen performance! There's no way!
-
Saw them multiple times between 78 and 83....and many afterwards, but that first 5 years was like nothing youve ever seen on Rock guitar...their best ever no question
-
All was right with the world with these guys around and Eddie playing. Good God he was incredible. What a maestro.
-
Wow! He was the King from day one 🤟🤟

Saw this concert in Seattle at the coliseum in 78 with several friends.... still remember it to this day. Eddie was on fire, newly emerged guitar slinging one of a kind player that blew us away. Ahhh the 70's
