This reminds me of being at the local record store waiting for my copy of Fair Warning... I cut school...lol The album didn't get a lot of airplay before the release. I played that cassette till it broke. I couldn't wait till they came to Oakland for the concert for Fair Warning. The US Festival was a spectacle and I had seen them prior, but the Fair Warning tour was special. Even more so than the Day on the Green in 1978 when I went to see AC/DC and witnessed Van Halen roar and stun a stadium full of people. Van Halen was special, especially Edward. I was replacing equipment lost in a wildland fire at work when the news announced his passing and just stood there not wanting to believe it... I never got to meet the man, but he surely left an impression.
