ON this date in 1979 - David Lee Roth collapsed from exhaustion during a Van Halen show in Spokane, WA.
Eddie Van Halen, band leader that he was, immediately sprang into action.
He had heard one of the roadies, Bun Man, singing their songs and Eddie thought, this dude could fill in.
So, Bun was pulled onstage, and he finished the show.

Perhaps I don't need to put up w/ David Lee's wildness after all.
The band eventually moved on w/ Sammy Hagar...
