Reply to comment by cmakry in Basically what the Roth era was. Van halen (1978) by dutchiedudeguy

On their first European tour, Van Halen opened for Black Sabbath. And by several accounts (including the band members themselves), they blew Sabbath's doors off.

I saw them at MSG on this tour, and they really were something else. I loved Sabbath, but Roth really was incredible, as was the rest of VH.

I thought the same thing when I first heard them as the opening act at a Stones concert in Orlando, circa 1979. Roth out Jaggered Mick Jagger.
The Stones were late too, so by the time they hit the stage, my drugs had worn off.
