Just Watched VAN HALEN Boot Video from BRAZIL '1983

[Matt White]

WOW! I just purchased a boot video of THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN live in Brazil 1983. It was obliviously meant for South American TV broadcast. UNFUCKING believeable! Much tighter than the US festival, and in much better spirits! Its INSANE that no offical live material from the DAVE era has been released by the band. They could EASILY do like Zeppelin and dig into the archives. With a better audio, this video itself would sell like Islam in the desert!

[Matt White]

The CRAZIEST part is when they launched into "Heartbreak Hotel"! Very strange, but exceptionaly cool. Nice bit of blues from Ed!

[Halen High]

I also have that show on video. It's an awesome performance. The crowd shots are excellent too. Actually, the crowd looks huge, not to mention out of control! Does anyone have any background on this show like the attendance, support act etc?

[steve]

Is this up for download anywhere? How can I get my greasies on this one?

[Terry]

Have the Argentina video from that tour, and have some the audio from the Brazil one. Have seen bits and pieces of video from the Brazil show. Could never get anyone to trade it, though.

Halen were shit hot, no doubt.

FOI ADRENALINA PURA EM 1983 ... TOO BAD ROTH WAS UNABLE TO COME ON THE ROCK IN RIO,EVERYBODY WAITED IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST NIGHT OF THE EVENT ROTH AND GUNS AND ROSES, MAYBE NEXT ROCK IN RIO... TALKING ABOUT BRAZIL I HEARD THEY ARE PLAYING CLASSIC VAN HALEN ,LED ZEPPELIN ALL DAY LONG ON THE BRAZILIAN MTV .WE LOVE DAVE IN BRAZIL!!! CACHACEIRO LOUCO !!!

[madraoul]

Knowing what the brothers turned out to be, this is funny as hell. I try to imagine them in their off time in South America back then. Even funnier is the thought of them trying to tour that region now. Dave may not be Jesus, but he definitely is all things to all people.

[Lou]

That's a shame you bought it Matt White, because I gave it away a couple of weeks ago. The whole thing, BTB Productions.

DO NOT BUY BOOTLEGS.

I'll fuckin' torrent it on Sharing The Groove if you really want it that bad, and I have it.

[Lou]

Also Rio does not exist, it's been mislabeled for years. Any time you see "Rio 1/27/83" it's just a repeat of Buenos Aires 2/11/83.

Here is what's circulating of the South American Tour:

Caracas 1/16/83--85 min. audio, 60 min. video. Most likely the audio came from the video, but the full show is not circulating in any form.

Sao Paulo 1/21/83--107 min. video, complete. Any audio you find comes from the video.

Montevideo 2/5/83--complete show on audio. Can't tell if it's SB, FM, or video SB. There's supposedly a 30 min. video segment of this out there but it's very undercirculated.

Buenos Aires 2/11/83--85 min. video. Any audio you get comes from the video, which is incomplete.

There is no Rio 1/27/83 circulating out there, it is a repeat of Buenos Aires 2/11/83.

By the way...I downloaded that show, the file is way too small to be an entire video. Something's wrong.

Guys...I would love to own all those shows you guys talk about. I've seen parts of each. Is Ebay reliable for this stuff?

[Lou]

Are you sure? No one else had problems. Should have been 4.3 GB.

It also has 5 songs from EEAS, summer of 86 I believe from Chrysler arena in Ann Arbor Mi. Its extra cool 'cause I was at that show. It FUCKING rocked!!! And for good measure, the promo videos for VHI are on it as well. It was too good a deal to pass up!

[ELVIS]

Buenos Aires is the Best live Van Halen, period...

Are you talking about the same show?

People get Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires confused. I don't know why but they do.

Assuming you got 1 DVD, there's no way all that would fit with Sao Paulo, Brazil 1/21/83 as it's 107 min., unless you got an incomplete show. If you got Buenos Aires, which runs 85 minutes, then you'd have enough space for that. If it periodically says "ATC" on the bottom of the screen it's Buenos Aires.

I don't have any attendance figures to share, but I know if Van Hagar played that show RIGHT NOW, the attendance figures would probably triple!

OK, OK... I'm kidding... I couldn't help myself

[BigDaddyD]

I have never used bit torrent before, but I downloaded it and gave it a shot trying to download this concert. I have a cable connection, but it is slow as shit downloading this. It is 30% done and that is with two sessions totally at least 20hrs of download time. What gives? I really want to get this to work, so that i can start downloading some great stuff. I have a dvd burner, and would be willing to burn it for you guys once I get it.

[BigDaddyD]

nobody can help me here? Why is my download so slow?

[DaveTheSoulOfVH]

Where Have All The Good Times Gone?

I findi t faster if you leave it going overnight bro. Stll, it

takes time it is a big file.

[BigDaddyD]

I have been leaving it on from the time I get home at 6pm to 9am on cable modem. Tonight will be the third night and I am at 31%! Is this normal for bittorrent? Might be time to hit Kazza.

Yuo won't find it on Kazaa bro.

Keep going and remember it also depends on the speed of

the others online. I lucked out and got it in one day.

Don't give up!

[BigDaddyD]

At least now i know that this is normal. For some reason I thought bit torrent is fast. I don't mind leaving it on. If it takes a week...that is fine with me. I would love nothing more that a good quality DLR era VH boot, that I can burn to dvd and watch on my home dvd player.

[Lou]

Kazaa sucks and even if you did find it there, you'd get a shitty .mpg. Is that what you really want?

[Matt White]

Yup, got the Brazil show and the US festival. Makes ya really nastalgic for the REAL DEAL! Sure wish the Van Halens would see the light and release something from the 81 or 80 tours with DAVE! Or, better yet, do like Jimmy Page and put together a chronological DVD that covered ALL of the DAVE YEARS!

[NightProwler]

You know how it goes, brother...as long as people are willing for hand over their hard earned dollars for "van hagar"...ediie and shemp continue laughing all the way to the bank.

Fuckin-A, Dude........ The only thing i don't like about it is when Ed turns his back to the audience during his impromptu solo where he and Alex go off in a "What The Fuck?" solo together, lol.

He is clearly noodling, kind of like what he does on the current Tour, but it sounded better in '83.

[VH LINKS SUCKS]

Lou, sent you a pm!
And what the fuck is with Torrent? Downloaded the entire show and played back in VLC media player and the video is so choppy that it goes through so many different clips not playing the entire file!
Is there another player to use that works with the download?

[nutts]

I thought when it was through downloading it would sequece itself in place.So far what I've got (17%) looks like that, scrambled.

[fysoabeach]

IS IT TRUE THAT WHEN ROTH WAS IN RIO THE LATE ROCKSTAR CAZUZA MADE A PARTY FOR HIM ON HIS DAD'S PENTHOUSE? A MOVIE ABOUT CAZUZA IS A BLOCKBUSTER IN BRAZIL RIGHT NOW.HIS DAD IS THE OWNER OF SOM LIVRE RECORD COMPANY... IT SEEMS THAT ROTH WAS VERY WELCOME THERE!

[BigDaddyD]

The download just finished. How do I watch this thing. There is a folder with .bup, .ifo and .vob files. Windows media player won't do it. Divx got the Pretty Woman video to play, and when I messed around with Flask, I saw some of the concert but with no sound. Is there some conversion I am supposed to do?

[BigDaddyD]

anyone?

[Lou]

All I know is that you have to burn to DVD. I don't know anything about watching the files from your hard drive.

[BigDaddyD]

how do you burn it to dvd? Is there a specific program to use or do I just burn that folder to a dvdR?

[BigDaddyD]

Never mind. I just installed some different dvd software and now it is playing. I will try burning it and playing it on my home system tomorrow. So far I got up to Jamie's Crying. The show is great. It is definitely pro shot, but the video quality isn't the greatest. You just know there is an original master somewhere. I hope they are preserving these things because they WILL have to release it at some point. I would buy pretty much all DLR era footage they put out especially if it is top quality with bonus features. Shit, I will even pop for the 5150, OU812 and FUCK tours as well.

it's posted her man.

It takes a long ass time to download. If I can burn it and get it to work I will happily burn copies for anyone for the cost of shipping and perhaps a blank dvdr....

I'll take you up on that offer- our new year's tradition at my house for the last 3 years is to watch the ball drop and then watch the US festival video in a drunken state- would be really cool to watch this Brazil concert instead this year- please let me know if you are able to burn it

[BigDaddyD]

I am going to watch the whole thing first to make sure it works, then I will burn it and test the burn. It should be fine. I will report back here by the weekend at the latest. If all is well I will send whoever is interested an address via email to either send me a blank dvdr with a self addressed, postage paid envelope (the easiest way for me) or for the funds to cover those costs.
