Lead vocalist David Lee Roth, granted most of the spotlight, seemed more popular than ever among his female admirers. As the night progressed, Anthony performed a devastat ing bass solo that began with his rolling across the length of the stage and ended as he stoof on an elevated platform beyond the drums. There he sent his guitar sailing through the air to crash with an explo sion nearly 15 feet below. Alex Van Halen also presented a solo that seemed to have in spired all drummers in the crowd, as well as everyone else.

Although her appearance on stage was brief, it was a great surprise, and according to the Van Halen specialists in the audience, a rare appearance. Van Halen performed for almost two hours, left the stage, then offered two encores. Dur ing the all-time favorite, “Ain’t Talkin ’Bout Love,” the band stopped and moved to the from of the stage to bid farewell in four-part harmony fashion with “Happy Trails.” They then resumed tiieir rock-n-roll superstar personae to conclude the encore.
