Excellent concert I worked it as security. I was part of the team that put David Lee in a coffin box and pushed him from backstage into the audience as he climbed up on top large light fixture during an Eddie Van Halen guitar solo. Best concert I’ve ever been to.

Oh my god, I’m writing a story right now on the writing prompt “first concert ever.” This one was mine. I cannot even believe I’m listening to the same version of Little Guitars I heard as a 13-year-old nearly 40 years ago. The internet is magical. Thank you, thank you.

In case this is still monitored, do you mind if I share a photo or two you have here? I’ll link the caption back to this page. Thanks in advance.
