Just the same, I still would be interested in seeing and hearing some of the unofficially released CVH live footage restored. Tend to doubt it would come out in a dvd form now, most likely streaming for pay.
Even though I have plenty of dvd boots, including the most likely culprits that immediately spring to mind for restoration (the US Festival, Largo 1982, Brazil and Argentina 1983), even the most clear of my boots would doubtless pale in quality to a release that was professionally restored.
Yet this stuff remains unreleased. Whatever was shot on film, well, far as restorations from the original film goes...film - even film that has been stored in temperature-controlled environments - still deteriorates over time. Stuff shot on videotape might fare a little better in terms of deterioration.
Point being, these fuckers better not wait forever if they want my money...I'm gettin' up there in years myself: not too many moons from now, I may well have trouble remembering my own name, much less Van Halens.
