An original Van Halen 1981 Photo ID laminate from the Fair Warning tour — a bold yellow and white credential bearing JOHNNY ROBERTS handwritten at the bottom left, JW’s photo affixed at center, and “1981” printed at the bottom. The access designations W.D. (Working Days) and F.A. (Full Access) flank the photo, indicating broad backstage access across the run (I'm assuming). 

The Fair Warning tour (1981) supported what many consider Van Halen’s darkest and most musically adventurous album. Named photo ID credentials from this era are exceptionally rare — most laminates from the early 1980s did not include photos at all.

From the personal collection of Johnny “JW” Roberts, SHOWCO monitor engineer, who worked the Fair Warning tour with Van Halen.
