um um. yes yes. actually, some parts of picture and audio are out of sync. but that's because those pictures are being replaced with the other parts, I guess. they were taken from the other reel. the audio track was just EQed/mixed/ by Ted Templeman in the studio. Van Halen didn't re-recorded. my english is ok?

True . The audio is continuous .Live.

Will they ever pull their heads out of their asses and release this shit , or what ?

Oakland 81 was filmed over three nights, and I think the audio on the videos was basically live and taken from one night/show, as is, but the footage used to make the promo vids was probably taken from all three nights - an obvious example of this is in the Unchained vid, where Ed is playing a black and white guitar for most of the tune, but when they come into the first chrous after the solo, Ed is playing his 'Frankenstein' guitar for a few seconds, then there's a quick shot of an audience member, then Ed is playing the black and white one again.

I'm guessing this because there are a few rough spots on the vocals that wouldn't have been left in there if they were gonna re-record the tracks in the studio after the fact - listening to the audio, it doesn't strike me that much was done in the way of patching any of it up, as opposed to, say, KISS ALIVE 2, for example.


I'd also take a full-length Oakland show any way I could get it. Even if it was just the video. I have an Oakland boot I could synch up to the footage, if need be.

I ain't gonna hold my breath waiting for the Van Halens to put any CVH stuff out, though.

well, if anyone is going to release Oakland 81, it will be Alex Van Halen, as Dave reported, Alex was looking at remamstering the 3rd show of the 3. Dave claimed the first 2 shows went in the shitter aqnd the only thing left was the last show. Most of us have the Oakland 8q1 bootleg but only the 3 videos from those shows

Really? What gave it away? The fact that in 'So This Is Love', the neck of Dave's shirt is ripped down to his stomach for 3/4 of the video, then in the other 1/4 it's only ripped down a few inches?

I don't know why i'm in a bad mood tonight...
