Van Halen... A Teenage Concert Diary & Musical Tribute

http://AliHandal.com - Ali Handal reads from her slightly embarrassing teenage concert diary about seeing Van Halen in concert in 1984 & 1986 and plays her own semi-acoustic rendition of Jamie's Cryin'. Ali's exceptionally fluffy cat Indy makes an unexpected appearance mid-reminiscence.

cool. I remember my first VH. 1982 Diver Down tour. I was completely blown away! I think I paid like $10 for the ticket. Nice vid and very nice singing!

@Ednerd Thanks!  Wow -- you saw them in 1982?! That's awesome...

[Ednerd]

@AliHandal yes..I'm old :) Ed was my hero, still the best ever! what's amazing is he wrote most of their early stuff when he was in high school. I can't even comprehend that. Anyways, I checked out some of your vids. You are really talented!! I wish I could sing. I'd just sit on the beach with an acoustic guitar all day writing tunes. :) Oh yeah, I'll approve your vid response as soon as it shows up.

@Ednerd Thanks! What's your name, btw? Thank you for approving my video. I'm trying to get my music "out there" :)

Wow, I think I like this version better than the original.

I saw Van Hagar so I can't really comment on the original band. Hagar was ok and I agree about the guitar solo, ho hum.

Ail, I just love your candid recitations and your tributes, and of course, Indy the Cat's appearance.  Peace and Love, Fingerman.

Ali, you are hot!

I have known you for a few years and never realize it before. Nice guitar work especially considering you are singing too. I can barely chew gum and chew gum at the same time.

One of my fav Van Halen songs. Memories...we will enjoy them.

This is hilarious gurl!

Is that Bob Barkers Dungeon you're in?

I thought you had escaped.!

Loved the song, and what a beautiful gitfiddle.

Are you into Alvin Lee? Ten Years After.? Their a little 'pre-VH'

I Miss You!
