This Is the Night, You'll See the Light

Tonight is the night for The Excellent 80's. It's the night I'll be in Tulsa to take in the Van Halen concert with opening act Kool and the Gang! I'll try to post some pics and video when I can. But for now, here is a double dip - one from Kool and the Gand, and one from Van Halen. First up is the appropriately titled 1984 hit from Kool and the Gang - "Tonight"...
