Van Halen played all over the Sunset Strip but their breakout performance that propelled them onto the strip was at a place called the Starwood Theater on Santa Monica Blvd......

The Van Halens went to La Canada High school in southern CA....my aunt went there from 1971 to 76 and often spoke of attending house parties where they played....and then following them to the strip.....
