I saw Van Halen’s maiden “Hagar” voyage when I was 15 at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft. Worth, TX. We had one buddy who could drive and his car broke down on I-30 trying to get to the show. We somehow made it to the concert and the only other memory I have of the show was Sammy climbing around on overhead scaffolding. That was “commercial” era VH

Do you also think Sammy Hagar Van Halen is better than DLR?
That’s a really good point of reference type question. When I saw Black Sabbath,I was aware of the other musicians,but if they replaced one of them it wouldn’t have dissuaded me from liking the band. If you replace Ozzy,then all of a sudden it’s not what I signed up for. In terms of VH,I thought as long as Eddie was playing guitar it wouldn’t matter who was singing. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Different vibe with Hagar,no where near as much fun. Dave was just a flat out better front man,and I feel that to some degree his intense energy was contagious with the rest of the band as well as the audience. I know you weren’t asking me but you got me thinking.

@Jett129 I’m glad you chimed in because you nailed it.
Furthermore, it was just last night I was reading about Wolfgang not playing the final Ozzy show because his “other” band was playing. WTF firstly, second, who’s going to see Van Halen w/o EVH. I mean if Sammy Hagar is Van Halen Lite then no Eddie is basically a cover band.

@Tago-Mago agreed on AC/DC. They’re both classic bands in each of their own ways.

pretty cool, from Brisbane, also their previous album is worth listening

This started as an Agenda of Australian government to promote gender diversity in music and art over a decade ago.
Emerged to a lot of beautiful bands fronted by women. (FullFlowerMoonBand, Amyl and the Sniffers, Press Club , …etc.)
Love it and pulled out Debbie and here band again.
