2/9/84
Playing in Nuremburg, Germany, Mötley opens the show which in time turns
out to be the last Van Halen performance with David Lee Roth singing.
The mayhem continues afterwards as they get high in the hotel room of Dio's
keyboardist, Claude Schnell. While Claude leaves the room for a while,
they throw his beds, chairs, desk, TV and dresser out of the window on
top of two brand new Mercedes Benz cars parked below. On his return, he
soon answers his door to German police with Rottweilers, before Dio's
entire band is kicked out and banned for years.
After the final show in Turin, Italy, Nikki travels to Paris to spend a
few days, before flying back to Los Angeles and meeting back up with the rest of the band.
