Eddie Van Halen, Peter Green, Bob Kulick, Betty Wright, Neil Peart, Kenny Rogers, and Little Richard. That's a Hell of a band.

Some of "Live Without a Net" was filmed in the dome that night. Funny thing is, I think that tour started in Shreveport at the Hirsch.

Saw 5150 in Biloxi. Wish I'd have been able to see them with Dave. Like Van Halen II days.

Saw Van Halen II tour and 1984. Truly one of the greatest!! Much more respect after seeing him live. Still love me Buddy Guy and Stevie though!

EVH was an absolute genius at coming up with catchy guitar riffs.

I've got some video of Eddie at Centenary Oyster House partying with the Cush brothers from back in the day, it's a shame I can't show it to anyone. His true fans would love it!

I saw their first tour. And several others.

I’m devastated.

Sat in the den at the Bertinelli's house in high school and watched Eddie play guitar for a bunch of us for a couple of hours. Absolutely incredible experience for a 16 year old Van Halen freak at the time. Valerie's brother Pat was a football teammate of ours and he invited a bunch of us to his house when Eddie and Valerie were staying. What a memory that was.

I saw them in 1978 when they opened for Black Sabbath at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama. They were touring their 1st album and I'll just say, Black Sabbath had a hard act to follow.

RIP Eddie
