"c'mon turn this thing around"

*I got to see VH in early 1978 on their first tour at a WBCN $1.04 night night at the Paradise Theatre, Boston. At that time all the band had released was the advance 12" of Running With The Devil - so we really didn't know what to expect. I was lucky enough to see VH many times afterwards with both Dave and Sammy. It's not that often that I get to really share with you one of my favorite concert moments, but tonight I can. On November 6, 1993, Sammy Hagar was a surprise guest at Neil & Peggy Young's Bridge School Benefit Concert at Bill Graham's Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. As you can see on the video below and the tunes in the Transmission, Sammy "conned" his talented bandmate to join him on guitar and piano for a short set for the kids on stage and
22,000 fans! 

We remember
Edward Van Halen
