I know we've all asked the question: Why do the Sisters resist putting out any concert footage from CLASSIC VAN HALEN?
Fear of DAVEs popularity?
Scared the SHEEP will finally see what a SHAM the band has been since the original lineup broke up?
Or...as the Sisters claim...is there very little actual footage out there?
Just received THE VAN HALEN ENCYCLOPEDIA: The History of the World's Greatest Rock Band by C. J. Chilvers this weekend. Thought I'd take a look and find out what this VAN HALEN "expert" found on the subject.
Lets see....
1.) 5/13/79: Orpheum Theater, Boston MA....Video recordings Exists.
2.) The "WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST" "WORLD INVASION" Tour 1980....
"A Dutch cinematographer (reportedly named Snade Krellmans) was hired to document the tour on film and the band intended to release a documentary that would rival the WHO's The KIds Are Alright and LED ZEPPELIN's THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. UNFORTUNATELY, the footage was never released."
3.) 9/19-20/80: Sports Arena, Los Angeles, CA... "At Least One of these L.A. shows was filmed. DAVE even invited the camera crew on stage to film the audience."
4.) 6/11, 12, & 13/81: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, CA... According to DAVE, ALL THREE OF THESE SHOWS were filmed, but only the third night was a keeper. According to WARNER BROTHERS, special attention was paid to the FIRST show...There remains some confusion about exactly which show was used for the (three) videos."
5.) 7/28/81: Capitol Centre, Largo, MD... WARNER BROTHERS films these shows.
6.) 10/11-12/82: Capitol Centre, Largo, MD...WARNER BROTHERS filmed these shows.
7.) 10/27/82: Montreal Forum, Montreal, QE...Video recordings exist.
8.) 11/13/82: Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Uniondale, NY...Video recordings exist.
9.)1/16/83: Paliebro, Caracas, VENEZUELA....Video recording exist.
10) 1/22/83: Ibirapuera Gymnasium, Sao Paulo, BRAZIL...Video recording exists.
11.) 2/11/83: Auditorio Obras, Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA...Video
recording exist.
12.) 5/29/83:US FESTIVAL Glen Helen Regional Park, San Bernardino, CA...Video exist. "Four of the songs performed were included in a special ShowTime presentation of the three-day event: "Running With the Devil." "(Oh) Pretty Woman," "You Really got ME," " and "Happy Trails". The film was done by Pacific Video and was produced by Robert Lombard and Noel Monk. Donn Landee was in charge of the audio. All four tunes were touched up with numerous overdubs prior to being shown."
13.) 3/26/04: Capitol Centre, Largo, MD...
WARNER BROTHERS films this show.
14.) 4/19/84: Montreal Forum, MOntreal, QE...Video recording exist.
15.) 8/18/84: Donington Park Castle, Donington, Leicestershire, UK...This VAN HALEN show was FILMED and the performance of "Hot For Teacher" was used by European MTV.
Well I'll be.....Isn't the Official Sister stance that there is NOTHING in the vault?!?
EVH is mentioned in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS!!!
They could do like Jimmy Page and PURCHASE any decent video themselves. The 1970 concert that opens the LED ZEPPELIN DVD wasn't owned by the band. Page recently purchased it & had it digitally restored. With the abundance of WARNER BROTHERS film & the outside sources, there would be an EXCELLENT film of CLASSIC VAN HALEN in their PRIME.
I know some of this is common knowledge for the Vet's of the ARMY. Thought I'd share this with those who are interested.
DAVE OR THE GRAVE BABY!!!!!
