In 1982,
Steve Wozniak sank a lot of his own money into creating the
US Festivals -- the first large concerts to celebrate the
merging of music, technology (and money). For the second (and final) US Festival in 1983, Van Halen was given
1.5 million dollars, up front, to headline the
1983 US Festival. What did they give back to their fans?
Well, about eighty-four seconds into their first song, David Lee Roth screamed, "
I forgot the f@¢₭n' words!" Along with
a swipe at the Clash, the set that followed remains
evar a
drunken classic of
testosterone-
fueled pop metal campiness. About 3:20 into
this clip, DLR launches into his epic fail version of "God Bless the Child" -- 'nuff said.

Nona Hendryx (wiki) founding member of
Labelle went on to a solo career that included working with The Talking Heads, Material, and Laurie Anderson. Her album
Nona (produced by Laswell) featured the club hit
Transformation which still sounds 20 years ahead of its time even though it was recorded in 1983.
Here she is rocking the house live at the Apollo with
Why Should I Cry and making your spirit soar with
Winds of Change
