Texxas Jam '78 (2012)

This show is seared into my memory. $15 tickets at the gate and it ended up being the hottest day of that decade. Pretty much everyone’s intro to Van Halen and they stole the day with Eddie’s solo on Eruption. This was the 1st stadium show in Texas since the ZZ Top show at UT stadium 4 years previously where the grass field got trashed. Cheech and Chong came out between sets to entertain the crowd. Nugent began a long running tradition of performers either passing out or getting sick from the Texas summer heat.
