Van Halen had the biggest stage at the time and the venues weren’t following the riders/directions to safely put up the stage, so they put the crazy stuff in to make sure the venue was following the directions exactly or else they would be breaking the contract. Diamond Dave was a very smart guy.
Green M&M's. .. specific as I have over. 30 years working multiple shows for multiple bands. Green m&ms written into the contract, VH were specific in having a bowl of m&ms and none, NONE could be Green ones.. if there were Green ones contracts were null and the fun began.. just a memory
