Supposedly the whole reason the Diver Down album exists.... and was thrown together as fast as it was, is because the original plan was to release a live Van Halen album from the Fair Warning tour, and somebody pulled the plug on the project at the last minute. Might have been Warner Brothers, might have been Eddie, doubt it was Dave..... but in any case, the obvious implication is that there's probably at least one master tape of an official live album out there, and I doubt it would have been thrown away. Would Pete Angelus have it? Maybe... though I would think it would be more likely in the archives of either WB records or Eddie's own mythical vault.
If there really was a WB box set that was already set for release, I'm thinking this live record might be part of it. And I would definitely rather hear that than a tribute show with somebody else playing a half-assed cover of Ed's guitar parts.
