How Many Times Has Van Halen Rocked Live In Maine?

With the incredible of loss of Edward Van Halen, we thought it would be good for us Blimpsters to recall all the the amazing times Van Halen has played Maine live in concert.

'The Noise Boys' as we affectionately call them, have brought their rock and circus to us a total of 9 times from 1978 to 2015.

There were four shows with David Lee Roth and five shows with Sammy Hagar at four different concert venues.

This complete list is bound to take you right back to the days in the parking lot with your best buds before showtime. Let's go back to a time when cranking the Fair Warning cassette on a shitty Clarion stereo in the El Camino and passing around a fat one was all we really needed.

I've got a feeling Eddie would love for his fans to honor his memory that way. Because, you know what? Whether you're cranking his records on a shitty car stereo or listening to high fidelity concert sound, his guitar playing always makes you feel truly alive.

We'll start our list of the 9 Times Van Halen Rocked Live In Maine with the last appearance.

Van Halen was very good to Blimpville over the years and many of us are downright blessed to have witnessed the Greatest Guitarist Of All Time. Rest in peace, Eddie. we thank you and will always love you.
