Memphis.

Every time I see video from back in the day, I get sad/angry. Where is the pro shot film footage? Why did no one think it was important to capture AMERICA'S GREATEST ROCK BAND in their prime? A few years back, I had several conversations with DLR. Of course, I asked what every VH fan wants to know,

"Is there any more Oakland footage?", "Are there any pro shot concert films/videos?"

This wasn't an interview situation, so he had no obvious reason to lie to me. He said he didn't know - but that anything that might exist was locked away on Howdy Doody mountain and Edward had control over its release. Infuriating? Yes.

Dave doesn't know. Wolf says it's unlikely. No post mortem release from Warner Brothers.

What a shame.

Yeah it’s a huge bummer, guess you really had to be there. As someone who literally had no chance due to me being born too late, it would have been neat to see a real Van Halen concert on screen.

I was "there" for the two 1981 concerts at the Forum in Inglewood, CA and they were spectacular.

Video gone. Bummer.
