Damn fine summer listen. Van Halen “Little Guitars”

Live at the 1983 US Festival, Van Halen was paid over a million dollars for a boozy 90-minute performance. Partying all day for MTV cameras before the show, VH played kinda sloppy all evening, but David Lee Roth seriously fucked up lyrics on every song. “Little Guitars” is no exception, but halfway through this summer gem, Eddie picks it up (on his little Les Paul no less) and they pull it together.
