goose Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I thought the first three Van Hagar albums were a really great run ... 5150, OU812 and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge They out-sold original VH! BOOOOOOOO!Change that "B" to a dollar sign and you nailed it!Hagar did not outsell Roth. Hagar Van Halen had more #1 albums, but Roth Van Halen sold more overall albums.It's actually really close, album for album, minus the Roth debut (14 million). Hagar's #2-#4 sold 17.2 million, Roth's VHII through Fair Warning sold 17 million even. Balance crushed Fair Warning in sales, lol. http://www.vhlinks.c...hp/t-48809.htmlWhy not include all the albums?Because that was not my intended comparison. They're on the link, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) I lost touch with JTull after "Too Old" so my picks are for the early years. Here's a pick of Martin that I took at Lafayette College 1975. Minstrel tour with UFO as the opener. I never missed a Tull tour in the NYC/Philly area from 1971 - 1976.

They're on the link, if you're interested.Notable: Both 5150 and OU812 respectively outsold Diver Down, Women and Children First, Fair Warning. 5150 also outsold VHII by nearly 2 million. Roth-era total album sales are ballooned by the massive sales of the debut (14mil) and 1984 (16mil). Needless to say, the Hagar era was wildly successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, my last Tull show was 1977 at MSG. I don't have the ticket stubs from NYC. The only stub I can find is from Philly 1976.
