Here's the 1982 Van Halen tour rider in its entirety (via the Smoking Gun). Skip ahead to page 16 for the infamous provision regarding M & M's.In perusing this document you begin to get a sense of the carbon footprints these mega-tours leave. At least Van Halen never stated their goal was to save the planet.
"The shoppe-keeper and his son were a different story altogether..."
ReplyDeleteI saw them for the second time on this tour, in Midland, TX. Was their last time to play Midland as they obviously blew way up after that. I wonder if the folks at Pace Productions were able to acquire brie for them in Midland? Certainly not without a fight. I was right up front and aside from a kickass show, I mostly remember a bottle of Jack Daniels on stage, and DLR walking out for the encore in furry chaps waving a gigantic Texas flag on a pole.
