Rare Van Halen concert footage from 1978

[JohnnyTheFox]

Stumbled across this on YT and wow!
This is Van Halen opening for Sabbath in Fresno on the 78 tour. The footage is bar none the best I have seen of the early years of the band. This is the band in its purest, organic form. Only were openers and almost untouchable.

My wow was after seeing Jane's Addiction in 1989.

That's funny. I just watched either this one, or another just like it from '78 around maybe two weeks ago.

Good stuff. I also watched a 1986 Van Halen (with Sammy) concert that was filmed in New Haven, CT. It was professionally shot and I HIGHLY recommend watching it.

I think this was it:

Yes same here, weird, we must trawl the same YT waters.
