Vh

^^That's a great picture Nora...

That must be from the very early days of the band, 1978 maybe.

Agreed. I've seen a promo of this picture before but not this different shot. Eddie looks like he downed a few before the photoshoot.

^^I saw them in '79 and '80, when they were in their absolute prime 2 concerts I'll never forget.

1980...the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Really great show too.

So This Is Love



Sweet live version

Having just listened to VH III I actually really liked this album. More enjoyment from this than the recent album quite frankly. It isn't as garbage as I was told it was.

^^Is that the album with Cherone on vocals?

Think it is actually. Vocals initially threw me a little but musically I think the album was pretty decent.

^^I always think of "Women & Children First" when I think of VH's 3rd album for some reason. I'm afraid I consider the Cherone's album the worst VH has ever done Riff, there are good bits and pieces but I even prefer the Van Hagar albums to that one.

A Different Kind Of Truth falls in that negative boat for me personally, worst album of theirs I have listened to. Has some good tunes but mostly intolerable ones for my ears.

VH III wasn't a pleasant experience for me.

So much so, that I've not listened to, much less bought, anything after that.

I may be missing something good, but I can't get past the scars from III. Hehehe.
