In 1984, five teenagers and two adults were given more than what they expected at a Van Halen concert. Forty-years ago, a band from Pasadena, California delivered one amazing concert in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Van Halen gave these kids an experience that would last for years, one that they can recall instantly, especially when they hear the song, JUMP. Van Halen not only gave them an awesome concert, but created fans for life.

1984 was supposedly the year of doom and gloom, however for these boys it was the year that gave them an experience of a lifetime. This true, coming-of-age story about an over-the-top concert gave these kids an energetic outlook on what life truly was supposed to be about, and created rock n' roll enthusiasts for life.

However, it is what happened before, during, and after the concert that gave these kids a new spin on what the power of music can do for any concertgoer. This nostalgic, true story of life-long friends will create a lust in the reader to attend concerts, create a lure to purchase albums, and a zest to never turn down the opportunity to spend time with friends.

JUMP will get your brain thinking about your experiences at concerts, your favorite bands, and the friendships you will never forget. It will give you a reason to JUMP for joy.
