On this day in 1984, the original lineup of Van Halen — David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony — played their very last show together.
A total of five “Monsters of Rock” Festival dates in Europe were to be Van Halen’s last shows of their massive 1984 tour. Those festival dates kicked off on August 18th in Leicestershire, England, and ran through Sept 2nd in Nuremburg, Germany where the band performed at Zeppelin Field. Today’s date marks the anniversary of the final concert with the original lineup, and the final date with Roth until he rejoined the band in 2007.
Below are a few videos featuring a German TV report and performance of the band’s #1 single “Jump”:
