  T.B., Bob et al,

  If you want to relive those early days of VH there are boots of some shows out there. If you're on soulseek you can d/l a show from '77 from me (culturevirus). I think it's a show from New York, and as TB said it features a few covers...

    Nice snapshot of Van Halen; would've loved to have seen that, especially as 
    I bought the album as soon as it came out the following year.
