I saw these guys in concert the very same year this clip is from. This was shot in New York. I saw them in Dallas. Texxas Jam. Them, BTO, Loverboy, Scorpions, I forget who else. But the final act was Van Halen.Just as Van Halen was starting, I was hanging with a bunch of friends. I said to one of my buddies, "dude, just push me up to the front of the stage. If anyone gives me any shit I'll just point behind me (as if it weren't my fault)." I could swear that I got a lot of eye contact from Eddie. I know that some musicians, if they have a hard time performing in front of huge groups, they'll pick out one person in the audience to concentrate on. Knowing what I know now about Eddie Van Halen, about him being ultra-shy and having to get loaded to even step onto the stage, it wouldn't surprise me at all if I was one of the people he picked out to play "to". I've had that happen to me before in small blues clubs in Oakland. Have the singer constantly singing at me.Anyway..... here's some Krokus.
