Love how rockers always have to dress differently from the average person.
Van Halen was considered Heavy Metal in 1983??
This is the ultimate “worlds colliding” photo.
This photo shows much The Woz has changed over the past few decades.
Is it just me, or does Woz look kind of yoked there?
The Great and Powerful Woz
Appears like the young Woz was way cooler and chill to hang out with in the 80s. I would’ve been like
“Hey, man I’d like to invest $1,000 into whatever shit you namesake dudes are doing.”
I was at both US festivals. Both were great, but in 83 the port a johns were overflowing due to lack of service. Other than that, it was a great concert.
I was at the festival and David Lee Roth was so pissed drunk by the time he went on stage for Van Halen’s set. Eddie was visibly annoyed throughout the set because Roth would stop almost every song in the middle to talk to the crowd, haha
Roth was so drunk that night he couldn’t remember the words to the songs. I left before they even finished. It was a long day and very disappointed that headliners singer couldn’t perform.
Is it me, or does Woz just seem like the kind of person you’d like to know and hang out with. Not because of his incredible wealth, but just because he seems to be an all around good, smart, humorous, and engaged human being. He’ll fund a rock concert, print his own $2 bills, and just generally seem to make smart, smiling, fun and even funny choices.
The what festival?
Went to all three days in ’83
It was really hot, not enough water, no usable toilets. Seemed a lot cooler than the actual concert
Perfect teenage experience
Every day we stray further from the light and honestly this is just pure chaos
The Great and Mighty Woz!
Dave’s washing machine needs a service.
Woah! Diamond Dave!
The look of a man who just got a million dollar check for being a goofball.
Ol’ Davey lookin’ a little rough there for 29 years old.
David Lee certainly wasn’t half as cool as he thought he was
Awesome! I just watched a documentary on the 1982 US Festival last night!
