These two flyers are from the first time I saw Van Halen live. They were playing at The Proud Bird Restaurant near LAX. I ended up about four feet from Alex's drum kit. There wasn't a stage; they were playing on the dance floor and everyone was packed around them. I knew right then that they were going to hit it big. About six months later Van Halen I was released.

Before Dokken was named, Don Dokken's band was called Airborn. Bobby Blotzer and Juan Croucier (from RATT) both played with him at that time. The band that I was involved with, Euphoria, played many a gig with Don's bands. Here are two flyers from that era.

There was also a short-lived club in Redondo Beach where we used to hang out called the Fleetwood. I remember that during the day it was used as a practice studio. Don Dokken's band Airborn used to practice there along with another band that Mick Mars lead. Mick Mars, of course, would go on to form Motley Cr�e.
