Does any one remember who else was on the bill for this show at Winterland?

All of you guys are killing me with who is always better and you forget all of the music. I for one have been a fan of music as a whole, both Dave and Sammy have drove the music I have listened to all of my life. Both were geniuses in there own right and offered all of us a chance to grow up through the 70-80-90 with great music. Just get over it, I have heard every record / tape and CD they have ever made through the years. And It is some of the best music ever..all the way from solos ventures to 1984 through 5150 times etc. Its not about money or fame or who’s the most screwed up one. Its about that jam you still remember listing to in your car cruising down the road without a care in the world.

I’ll tell you guys why Roth outsold sammy. Because of the development of the CD. When the CD came out people went and re-bought all the old VH albums. There fore doubling their selling. However Sammy came after the CD was developed. Therefore, Roth got lucky in outselling the Sammy era just because of the developemtn of the CD.
Thanks VHND for giving us Sammy updates all the time.
I’ve seen VH twice in my life and i’m 17. Saw um with Sammy in 2004 then with Roth in 2007.
The Roth concert was not that great. The whole concert I was sitting there hoping Sammy would kick Dave off the stage and get on with the show. Dave DOESNT have it anymore. Hey Dave, the 80’s are over buddy.

Ok, it’s 2008! I’ve been listening to all this shit for far too long. Sammy-this, Dave-that oh yeah and don’t forget Gary! Look people I happen to like all incarnations of Van Halen. I’ve seen them over 17 times across the USA and they were all good times. Get over whatever bitchin’ you are doing, pop in a CD, cassette or hell even a LP of your favorite frontman and for the love of all that is holy… STFU and leave this alone!

OKAY, 1st off, VH made DLR, DLR did not make VH!
Sammy Has always written his own songs and they got better when he was challenged by EVH. The two can’t be compared. Are you always compared to your siblings? Your friends? If you are, then you’re not being YOU! Let’s face it, VH would sound like VH no matter who sang. Tiny Tim could’ve sung (R.I.P.)and it would’ve sounded like VH.
If you change the “chemistry” of anything, it’ll be different no matter what it is, that’s just fact.
It’s no better, or worse, just different. VH is, was and will always be VH. All of you “comparer-ers” get over yourself and just enjoy the music created by the
Greatest American Rock’n'Roll Band of All Time, VAN HALEN.

p.s. I have that 1977 SH concert on cassette tape, recorded back in 1979…lucky me!
