      Precisely. The world's biggest parking lot...
      Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.

        Oh, it's still there and regularly used... Van Halen has played there more than most any other arena.... The Islanders have been trying to get a new arena built for years now....

          No, I meant that Long Island is undoubtedly the world's biggest parking lot. Just try driving on the L-I-E

            1984 videos in my stash:
            montreal(complete)
            castle donninton(complete)
            las vegas(incomplete)
            all are audience, montreal is really killer audience video, las vegas is kinda muddy sound, and donnington has ok sound, but the video is crap.

              It's a fucking crime. There has to be a pro-shot, high quality film of this tour just gathering dust in Eddies damn vault. It's not fucking fair!


              Michael has said he has a lot of stuff, but would be sued to high heaven if he ever let it out. The brothers would know instantly where it came from.

                van halen former manager back then, i forget his name but he is dead now, neil something or other, as well as a van halen anthology
                book, the 1984 largo concerts, both nights, were pro-shot but the in-house video system.....as most concerts in the capital centre were.
                however, at present, the only pro-shot 1984 footage to ever surface, is "hot for teacher" from donnington from bbc's "the old grey whistle test", and mtv's "lost weekend" segment with contest winner.

                the largo 1980 and 1984 footage is confirmed to exist, alongside oakland 1981, but other than the 1981 clips on mtv,
                none of any of this stuff has ever turned up.

                all i know is, somebody somewhere has this stuff and they're sitting on it.

                  The rumor is Pete Angelus has pro shot show's from every tour. The Montreal show is pretty good. The camera only move's around a little on one song in the beggining of the show I think.

                    Montreal '84 is the best one from that era, I've also Las Vegas '84 but that one is incomplete. I know they've taped
                    Donington '84 completely but the quality is very very bad.l

                      I don't know about an '84 Toronto show unless it just sprung up in the bootleg market very recently--you sure about that? And the Uniondale is '82, not '84.

                        Pete Angelus... Man, if I was to mistakenly shoot him in the head and accidentally pilfer his video collection...

                              They all suck IMO. No good footage from 84 in circulation.

                                Montreal is not too bad, better than nothing.... The audio is OK for an audience recording....
