When dating my wife while we were both attending Queens College, I somehow managed to purchase two really good tickets for Van Halen at the Nassau Coliseum; facing the right side of the stage, just a few rows off the floor on Eddie Van Halen’s side. The mighty Van Halen was at the height of their powers. Eddie Van Halen exuded pure joy while shredding the guitar, and David Lee Roth performed at his rock star best, working the crowd into a frenzy, part front man, part circus ringmaster. I may as well have been invisible as my future bride stood on top of her seat screaming at every DLR gyration. It was rock and roll at its best performed by one of the great al time bands.

Unchained

Rock on!
