Throwback Concert: Van Halen at New Haven Coliseum 1981

99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1981!

That year PLR welcomed Van Halen to New Haven Coliseum. Eddie and the boys hit the road in 1981 to support their fourth studio album, “Fair Warning,” which featured such hits as So This Is Love?, Mean Street and Unchained.

Van Halen was no stranger to New Haven. Between the years 1978 and 1986, VH played the Coliseum 8 times. That’s perhaps the reason why many people called them “Van Haven” when they came to New Haven!

PODCAST – Wednesday, June 9: Legal Marijuana Hits A Snag; Tribe Big Family Stories; Movies So Bad You Walked Out

The legal weed bill has hit a snag. Everything seemed so promising yesterday, so what happened? Chaz and AJ talk about the single addition that may have killed the bill for this session. (0:00)

A woman in South Africa gave birth to ten babies, all at once. Chaz and AJ wanted to know a little about what it’s like to live in a big family, so they asked the Tribe to call in and share their experiences. Holly’s family needed a school bus just to drive everyone around, and Flo admitted that sometimes she would have to eat grass, since there was not always enough food. (11:27)

Movie critic Joe Meyers called in the Top 5 movies that were so bad, he walked out on them. Joe’s first movie was very recent, and Chaz was shocked he missed it when it was happening. (33:20)

Dumb Ass News – Maybe the worst choir boy ever? But even more strange, the audio seemed to match perfectly with something that happened on the show two hours earlier. (43:22)
