I was there in 1984. The BJCC used to have great concerts. Not like shit shows they have now. Old Boutwell used to rock also.

More raw rock n roll with Roth. Ain't Talkin bout Love and The Cradle will Rock are good examples of the kind of rock VH put out with Roth. I didn't hate Hagar but they were much more commercial with him as the lead. Yep. Runnin’ with the devil is classic

What was the tour before 1984 when they played Huntsville? DLR was srunk/stoned and forgot the lyrics on a few songs.

I liked Van Halen’s music with either at Lead vocals. I was a Kid growing up then and was liking Van Halen’s music with either of them.

Also, Eddie has to be in the discussion of the great guitarists of all time. To me, he is the best, period. What was the tour before 1984 when they played Huntsville? DLR was srunk/stoned and forgot the lyrics on a few songs. That would have been the Diver Down tour.

I was at the 1984 BJCC as well. Down front. I had the hottest girl at Vestavia Hills High on my shoulders. Her boyfriend was a little guy and she wanted to see. She was on my shoulders the whole concert. I was in heaven! It was Paige Patterson for those who want to know.

Oh and I like Sammy Hagar and Van Halen with him there. And DLR was a tool and ruined the band but Van Halen was legendary and Van Hagar was decent.

Sammy all day long! Early Van Halen rocked, then they went commercial. 1984 album started it.

Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

DLR was good, but his ego was hell. SH has a "lets just rock" about him that I like. EVH was what I wanted to see the most.

The cradle will rock was the 1st VH song I ever heard at scout camp. I was blown away. Never saw them live but had all the cassettes/albums to 1984. Never cared much for them after DLR left.

The first concert I ever attended was the 1984 tour at the BJCC Me and 10 of my college friends drove from Livingston University in my van to see that concert. Good times. As for who I like better, I'd say it this way. I like Sammy better as a person than I do Roth. Roth is both strange and egotistical. But I still prefer early Van Halen. Van Halen through about their first 3 albums was a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.
