The Complete 1981 Oakland Show

[Calderone]

Those 3 clips of the show were doctored ,i mean,im convinced about that !
Im sure they filmed the show or the shows and then they retouched
the audio (re-recorded on the studio) and they put this 3 clips they "released"
Im sure the full show its somewhere but on raw form only,not doctored as they may have wanted to release it,and now its too late to "doctor" it and they are lazy and they dont give a fuck about releasing it in raw form NO WAY they will release it in raw and the raw will not coincide with the 3 clips that were "released".
Compare the 5 clips "released" for TV for the US FEST and the REAL THING RAW FORM video...
I dont know why they retouched it !
The raw video was pure magical vibe !
They are wasting money
WOULD YOU BUY THE 81 OAKLAND SHOW RAW ??
COUNT ME IN
RAW IS BETTER RAW IS REAL

Id take any of the Oakland show I can get, Those 3 "official" videos were magic..Dave was amazing, Ed was blazing..and Mike and Alex were..Well at least they were there

The Oakland clips don't sound overdubbed to me, but the Us Festival clips were obvious compared to the original.

I guess we'll never know for sure, unless the goddamned video is released.

The Oakland clips are doctored 100%

[Calderone]

and if i recall correctly they shot some "3 clips" for VHII .. Dance the night away,You're no good and forgot about the other pretending they were 100% live ..but they were doctored
same as KISS ALIVE I,IIand III
every one thought it was real live,but those albums were a mixmatch of several shows plus soundchecks and studio overdubs here and there
i vote for RAW

Of course. I think everyone has the US Festival by now. It's probably the most widely circulated Van HALEN video ever.

this is a useless thread, started by Calderone.....as usual.

I'll post my thoughts on this later....since I have to bath from now on.

"Dance The Night Away" was doctored, i think...
there's a huge glitch in there...

from there - the first vid - at 1:49, watch what Ed's playing - he's tapping harmonics, but listen to whats playing instead -a whammy squeal...

thats the huge glitch..

also the vocal harmonies sound too "on", if you know what i mean...

[Cato]

ok, I'm back. how quick. it took me only 30 minutes.

um, my thoughts are summarized like this...

so what?

[Cato]

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?
