VH live at the US Festival 83

[Cathedral]

It is very possible they did overdub the tracks. that was often practiced in that era.

KISS Alive was done that way as a matter of fact...
They had to go into the studio and re-record some of the parts because it just wasn't meaty enough recorded straight and there were mistakes that needed corrected. So in all reality it was a Live Studio Album.

A similar procedure was used on Right Here Right Now the video. If you listen to the CD compared to the Video it is clearly a different arrangement and if i remember correctly there are extra songs on the CD version that aren't on the video.

On Right Here Right Now, the CD and Video are two different nights...

Actually, the video is a combination of both nights. The CD seemed to be one night and is basically the unedited Live show.
The video should have been the same way because to this fan, that wasn't what i call live.
It pissed me off when in the course of a song their clothes kept changing back and forth....Sad and total garbage to me...

I think the show was intended to be an official release, but as we discussed earlier, the band wasn't at the top of their game this show.

They were fucking loaded.

That's obvious,it was "pro shot".My point is it's been a long time,whoever is sitting on the film (hopefully it exists) needs to step up to the plate.Fuck,it's probably Ed......arrrgh

[Golden AWe]

For me the greatest thing about the video is that even thought they had a massive audience and they were paid like kings, they still got wasted and fucked up in few songs...it's shows what their attitude was - they could afford it!!! After all, they were THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN...

Not close to their tighest performance musically but clearly the funniest I've seen or heard.

My favorite parts: When Dave puts that tennis cap on Eddie's head...Eddie looks completely pissed...

Dave's quote: "More people have been arrested tonight..."

Michael forcing the midget to drink more Jack...

And yes, that "somebody get me a doctor/girl gone bad/i'm so glad" sounded awesome...

Well Dave was wasted, Ed was wasted, Mike was wasted, Alex was wasted, the road crew was on heavy narcotics and over 300,000 people were probably stoned out of there minds. Now that's a concert!

Actually, they are. I used to have the "remixed" version of those 3 songs. (posted them on the old Army even) but the hard drive they were on died before I could burn them to disc

I know they were used in a radio broadcast of US Festival highlights that aired shortly after the concert. I've also heard that there was at the time the intention of an US Festival live album which never was released, probably due to the licensing nightmares that would have been involved with all the various record labels representing the bands that played at the show.

You see the 83 US festival should have been lesson to concert promoters to NEVER DO THIS AGAIN! They sure didn't learn there lesson when that shitty woodstock in 1999 took place, what a fuckin disaster that was. If your gonna have a large festival than just use a stadium, because the bathrooms are already set up. Has anyone ever been to a large festival concert and noticed how bad those porta-johns stunk?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I have two copies of VH's show in the US Fest....

I have a Japanese TV US Fest. compilation video (which might be what FORD is referring to).... That seems to be the one that is NOT overdubbed...

My copy of the full show is overdubbed during YRGM, and not very well I might add....

I've seen DVD's that include the show and all of the pre-show interviews on Ebay recently but I haven't attempted to bid on one.... Anyone got one of those ?? Is it worth it ??
