Man, I wouldn't even know how to watch a clean copy of the US Fest. Sure, it would be cool and all. But I like my somewhat shitty version. It just feels right. Nah, it ain't perfect but neither was a live Van Halen show and I kinda like it that way. Plus, every time I've showed it to someone who's never seen the show I get to tell the story about how it used to get passed around as a VHS copy and how I got mine and how I shared copies around the world. That's a better story than:
"Whoa! You got the Van Halen US Fest show?? Where'd you get this?
"Walmart"
Yeah, I'll just keep my boots. What I would like is unreleased studio tracks, not really demos but where they were working the songs up in the studio, out takes and shit. All of it. And any photos and video shot in the studios. Toss in all the video and photos the band shot themselves here and there and I'd buy that. The truth of the matter is there may not be that much that the band shot themselves since they were kinda busy living it and probably not documenting it for us lunatics that want all this stuff lol.
