    Thank you so much for delivering the goods on this VH podcast. Love these stories. I especially like hearing fans/musicians talking about the first time seeing VH and how they got into the band. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work!

    One more thing! I would love to hear from former road crew members especially from the early years. Thank you!
