28 years ago, David Lee Roth returned to the Civic Center for the second time as a solo artist. 

Diamond Dave arrived in Portland on March 29, 1988 just after the release of Skyscraper. This was the second and last album with his super powerful line-up of Steve Vai on guitar, Gregg Bissonette on drums and Billy Sheehan on bass. WBLM was spinning the new song, Just Like Paradise. This album also gave us the Blimpville favorite, Damn Good. The opening band that night was Faster Pussycat.

Unfortunately, there aren't any quality recordings of Dave live with his apres VH supergroup. So we'll celebrate this Blimp concert memory with Van Halen tonight at 6:20 on the WBLM Mini-Concert.

Watch Dave doing some insane rock-climbing in the video for Just Like Paradise!
