Van Halen- US Festival 5-29-83

Before Lollapalooza, before Coachella or Burning Man, and contemporaneous with the legendary California Jams was the 1983 US Festival held near San Bernardino CA over Memorial Day weekend. It was promoted by a concert industry outsider, Steve Wozniak of Apple Computers, and was innovative in that Wozniak divided each day of the four-day event by bands which reflected the stylistic diversity of early Eighties music. Home state heroes Van Halen headlined the day of Hard Rock May 29.
