"Tribute" Tour with Dave, Al and Satch

[Seshmeister]

I did notice that in the sale of his effects there was a 5 foot high safe so maybe that's where all the Van Halen live videos were kept.

Apparently but I can't find a date or cause or whatever. One report said it was in March but news only seemed to start to filter out a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't heard until you posted here.

I think it was Monk's facebook page that had some folks post RIP messages.

I doubt anything new and substantial is going to surface. Noel Monk was an intimidating motherfucker and him and his staff really patrolled the arena for people selling unauthorized merchandise and taking unauthorized footage. Video and film cameras were big in those days so anyone filming would be easy to spot.

True. Guess I'm referring to some official recordings authorized by the band.

[Nitro Express]

Not sure about more unseen concert footage but I believe there are live recordings from the 1984 tour and even from the Hide your Sheep tour so who knows.

Dave suggested back in '85 they release a live album as he himself back then said "we have tapes" but the Van Halens didnt want to.

Monk by the way apparently has passed as well. RIP.

Still trying to track down the rumor that VH's 1984 show at the old, demolished Buffalo Memorial Aud was recorded by the Sabres broadcast team "Largo" style but always leads to the brickwall in the Aud subbasement. It would be a rare ProShot 1984 show IIRC, if not the only complete one...

Interesting.

And wasnt there a rumour that before Ed passed he and Al actually visited Noel Monk to view old CVH footage?

Really, at this point. about the only stuff that would interest me is whatever live footage of the band in their CVH heyday exists that hasn't already been leaked out onto the bootleg circuit.

Be it the stuff in Mike Anthony's/Roth's/AVH's/Wolfgang's private collection (of which one would imagine there are at least a few full-length shows from the various CVH tours that were shot on either film or videotape) or the long-rumored stuff 'in the can' that WB supposedly filmed, or whatever.

I'd just like to watch some of that stuff. And I don't really care if it is in the form of an official dvd (not that anybody buys dvds anymore anyway) or on whatever streaming service or if somebody steals the stuff and uploads it onto youtube for free or whatever.

Because even if Roth and Alex and whoever do stage a live tribute to Eddie Van Halen...even if it's done tastefully, I can't say as I really...that wouldn't matter to me, because I have no interest in seeing it or hearing it.

Maybe Alex is getting divorced again...

I hear his wife is a bit of a bitch.

There is a story in this somewhere.

Al’s son ran track for CU.

Horse hockey. This is easy money. There's no pressure to promote a new album, no grandiose stage design, so no hiring of extra crew and you keep the touring dates to minimum and do it during the summer. Tribute acts and tours are all about the money and Alex would do this alone to keep up the maintenance on all his Ferrari's.

Ha! Alex probably is making more money from something else. He drives Porsches not Ferraris. Ferrari dealers kinda suck. Porsche dealers are way better.

Wonder when they wanted this thing to happen.

If Tommy Lee is really involved, the Crue tour ends in early September.

Satriani is touring the US mid-September through mid November, and then Europe from April to June 2023.

Supposedly Wolfgang is not happy about it:
