Happy 72nd Birthday to the one and only David Lee Roth!
Diamond Dave. The voice, the face, and the larger-than-life personality that propelled Van Halen to superstardom. There will never be another.

This Day in VH 5/1/1979: @VanHalen plays the Masonic Auditorium in Detroit, Michigan.
4/29/1981 – @VanHalen's 4th album Fair Warning is released! DLR had a great quote at the time describing this masterpiece!
Van Halen released Fair Warning, April 29, 1981. Favorite track? Did you or do you have this album? Which format?
Fair Warning is widely considered to be Eddie Van Halen at his absolute best, featuring some of his darkest and most complex guitar work. While it initially had slower commercial sales compared to their other early releases, it has become a massive favorite among die-hard fans.

4/17/1984 – @VanHalen at Maple Leaf Garden (Toronto, ON) for the first date in Canada on the 1984 Tour.
Also great listening to Ed describe recording “Big Bad Bill” with their dad Jan Van Halen. youtu.be/XKyU1j2bDRE?si=NSxi…
4/14/1982 — @VanHalen release Diver Down. An album that exudes a fun, summertime vibe w some amazing VH tunes, a few great EVH solo pieces & some cool Van Halenized covers they always made their own. Listen how Ed loved and defended it (vs how he disparaged it decades later) ...
