A tribute to heavy metal and hard rock fans
This footage was taken during Van Halen’s first tour, apparently the only known footage of that tour.
Their legendary self-titled first album had just been released seven months earlier.
This is their 1978 video promo for the first track of their legendary self-titled first album.
The track is called “Runnin’ With The Devil”.
This was filmed at the Whisky A Go-Go, West Hollywood, California.
The first track off their legendary first album, produced 1978.
Audio after the jump.
From their very first tour of 1978-1979, here’s Eddie Van Halen doing Eruption, that legendary guitar solo. It’s probably their oldest video footage ever.
