From the opening night of the second VH World Tour, Selland Arena - Fresno, CA - March 25, 1979. This is the same video that made the rounds of television in the days before MTV broke open.

I guess I would be to much like right to to release all their classic footage from back then remastered on DVD?!

Talk about making millions..

the location is wrong. this was filmed in Rochester or somewhere.

if you have the boot "Live and Loud" which was recorded in Fresno on 3/25/1979, compare the audio tracks. then you can find the difference...
great footage indeed, though.

access the video directory and check out the real Fresno video that Nick posted.

I thought Nick would never make an error at this kind of thing.

here's the real one.

That is neat, and thank you for providing this. Damn, I researched that pretty poorly looking back. I simply took the Youtube poster's date as fact, then checked to see if it was real by looking at the VH Bootleg site. It never occurred to me that the content would be wrong.

Great find, and good work! http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-happy-smileys-336.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/)
