Who are the two dudes with Ed? Looks like a pretty new picture.

A fellow Van Halen superfan was extraordinarily kind enough to make beautiful 8 x 10 prints of these incredibly rare pics of Ed from Europe '78 and Cain's Ballroom '78. These are some of the best up close and sharp color pictures I've ever seen of this era. I'm not going to mention the guy's name because I don't want people bothering him. He got these direct from the photographer, but he doesn't remember who the photographer was. I'm posting these here for fan enjoyment and I would credit the photographer and encourage everyone to buy prints from him, but I have no idea who that photographer is...These have never been seen before as far as I know except when this fan posted a camera phone pic of his prints on Facebook. Here they are in all their full resolution glory! ENJOY!
Europe '78 (maybe UK?)

Thanks! I think so too...really rare unseen pics that are this clear and in color from this era of the band don't cone along very often and I'm really indebted to the fan that shared them with me. I haven't posted here in forever and I almost never post anything outside the 'The Guitar Shop', but I'm glad somebody saw them and dug 'em too!
As it turns out, another eagle-eyed fan confirmed that the last three pics are NOT from Cain's Ballroom, but they are likely from another small venue in the Midwest during the same time frame. I was hoping somebody might be able to help pinpoint the date and the venue?!
