I want a perfectly clean copy of the 25 song demo and a live disc from each tour w/Dave in my boxset.

A live disc from each Roth tour would be OUTSTANDING!

Live DVD like Zeppelin's would be nice too.

Hopefully, in the not to distant future! Warner Bros. knows where the $$$ is in VH.

I'd go light on the previously released studio tracks, rather sub many of them with live recordings selected from each of the 6 classic era tours. Throw in the Simmons demos, plus alternate takes of other studio tracks.

DVD should be totally Zep-style, agreed. 5 to 6 hours minimum. Maybe even a 3 DVD set.

If it was done right, I'd shell out $50-75 easy for it. Contrast that with the amount of money many would be willing to shell out for Van Hagar in any form. Feel an awesome classic box set could easily make more money than Best Of Both Worlds did, if not sell as many copies. People are fuckin' starved for live classic Van Halen. Van Hagar had official live releases from the 1986 tour, the 1991 tour and a pay-per-view of the 1994 tour. Now they're talking about a DVD in 2005 of the 2004 tour. Fuckin' christ!!!! Those sheep are positively oversaturated compared to us classic fans. I dig trading boots, but the quality is never as good as cleaned up, official releases.

Fuckin' Alex.

I wouldn't seperate the instrumentals onto their own disc.

I don't want studio shit that's been released on a VH boxset!

I would like to see Dave interviews. Come on, almost as good as the music was Dave's appearances and statements (hence "Rothisms").

Remember his appearance on Letterman?

"Hey, Dave, how about taking off the sunglasses?"
"Can't be done."
"Why not?"
(Picks up his sunglasses to reveal BLOODSHOT eyes) "'Cause I'm too damn SSSSSTONED!!!"

Remember his "sting" on MTV to drive across America? (actually, that was done on the back of the Crazy From The Heat EP...scratch that)

The vid that preceded their arrival on the US Festival stage...
The parachute jump...
The appearance they did after Dave had busted his nose, and was wearing tape to keep the damn thing in place, and everyone thought it was some kind of fashion statement...

This was a band that was designed and displayed as A WAY OF LIFE: the hedonistic, devil-may-care Blonde California rock star, who men want to be and women want to be with.

I couldn't give a shit about another Ed 20 minute guitar solo.

Im not asking for much, just a complete live Van Halen concert, with
good video and sound quality.

That would be great thanks !

(And I would pay $100 without a second thought)
