Are we seriously never getting a 2008 DVD?

[ShadowOfTheWave]

They filmed shows, so what the fuck? Dallas 2008 would be the perfect release. Don't they want money?

[DLR Bridge]

Nope. Next question.

[Diamondjimi]

Exactly. Close thread.

[sadaist]

Exactly. Close thread.

The san diego 2007 show was tremendous. Not nearly enough footage on youtube. Cellphones have advanced so much in 7 years. Personally i would love a high quality 1984 show.

[Diamondjimi]

He'll, any fuckin CVH era concert release would be good.

They don't release fuck all from "the vault". By the time they finally do, no ones gonna give a shit..

[ZahZoo]

My grandchildren may get to enjoy material from the VH vaults... Although I'm not too overly hopeful.

I recently released a 2-cam blu-ray of the opening night of the tour that I synched with Steecoe's audio (probably the best audio recording of the entire tour). I also did a 2xDVD5 standard definition version.

Let's hope Wolfie gets greedy and wants to cash in. Of course the younger generations are "Van Who?" The fan base are in their 50's and frankly many have lost interest. We live in a age of instant everything and short attention spans. A few weeks ago what was going on in the Ukraine was big news. Now that's almost forgotten because we have ISIS and we are bombing Syria. Give it another minute. ISIS will be forgotten and we will have another threat and someone to blame and bomb somewhere else. If the actual big new stories are that fickle then hell entertainment is even more so.

Nobody except people waxing in nostalgia even give a ratt's ass about Van Halen anymore. The new iPhone coming out generates more hysteria than a rock band does today.

Good to hear! When I was 18 I saw Van Halen two times on the 1984 Tour. It was my senior year and I partied like a crazy maniac. It's all a blur to me but from the photos of that year, I think I had a good time.

I gotta lotta great nieces and nephews in their late teens, early twenties and they dig rock and roll. Classic rock, metal and what I call Grunt Rock. The singer doesn't sing he grunts out the lyrics. I have a Judas Priest tribute cd by grunt rockers around here somewhere. I'm not into their foriegn car fetishs but otherwise they're all pretty cool kids.

I got out of the Navy in 84. 30 years ago last month. Partied my ass off for the next six years. Straightened up quite a bit when I turned 30 in 1990. Life ain't what it used to be but it's still better than the alternative.
