US Festival Lost Tapes

That wasn't an argument that was a discussion.

And that wasn't sarcasm, that was an indorsement.

I wonder who owns the publishing rights to these songs?

If Ed has the video, but WB still owns the majority or all of the publishing, that may be the problem right there...or part of it.

Or..

Would MA be entitled to a piece of any CVH show DVD release?

I've wondered about this as well.. Did MA lose his cut of the classic shit too when he signed up for the 04 train wreck tour?

Here is some bullshit about the "Right Here, Right Now" 'live' album that is related to publishing deals courtesy of the Fat One (from the Wikipedia page about the album):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live:_Right_Here,_Right_Now

According to Sammy Hagar's 2011 autobiography, "Red" the entire album was picked apart and re-recorded by the band, and Hagar was forced to go into the studio to lay down vocals for the entire album. There were also publishing issues involving the two Hagar tunes that appear on the album. Manager Ed Leffler had recently passed, and Eddie and Alex were now being managed by Ray Danniels, with whom Sammy has gone on record as saying he didn't get along. Publishing for, "One Way to Rock" and "Give to Live" totaling an estimated $80,000 went directly into the Van Halen account, instead of going to Sammy. Ray Danniels had discovered a massive publishing deal Ed Leffler had made with Warner just before he died, which had Eddie and Alex Van Halen believing Sammy and Leffler might have been taking money from the band. Leffler had put the entire Van Halen catalogue up for collateral. The band still owed Warner for the advance when Danniels discovered the deal. To keep tension down within the band, Sammy wound up owing the band an estimated $300,000, and therefore made the kind gesture to Eddie and Alex by giving them the publishing from his two solo songs that appeared on the album.

Kind gesture my ass.

btw..fucking amazing now hearing that Dave was that fucked up and still was able to put on a show..

Marching powder is all you need

Dave was amped up but good.

The DJ keeps referring to the Van Halen Compound. Anyone know what the "backstage" was set up like?

There's the entire Mark Goodman interview and the pre-show video on most of the bootlegs floating around...

Here's the Goodman interview in 2 parts...

Speaking of "lost" US Festival stuff, I was at the entire 3 day fest and recorded most of the bands on the Heavy Metal Day with my AIWA stereo tape deck including Van Halen's set from around the sound tent area. I've never traded the recording with anyone considering I know of at least two other superior sounding (though incomplete) audience recorded bootlegs of the set and of course, the tv feed audio and video that everyone's heard and seen for literally decades.

However, a while back I took the video from the best looking US Fest bootleg and dubbed my audio recording onto it and put a clip of "The Full Bug" on YouTube. As you can hear, my buddy and I often talk over the performance near the end thus rendering it not a good tradeable recording....

Good thing Metallica wasn't there & Lars didn't see you.

[Nitro Express]

You had Steve Wozniak up there talking to the crowd and we are like hey Woz, we love you man and thank's for throwing this wonderful festival and thanks for doing it right no gouging and lots of restrooms but you are a nerd man so get off the stage. Then they had this dorky UFO thing leading into the VH preconcert footage before they went on stage. It was pretty funny seeing Dave banging a chick on a piano and all the wierd scripted shit and the VH came out.

I only listened to 2 seconds of that and have to say I disagree.
