This is amazing footage, maybe the best CVH footage ever uploaded.

Enjoy it before it’s removed like everything else.

All these leaks have been magnificent. Where they come from, who cares. They should have been released years ago. VH Inc. dropped the ball. They have no one to blame but themselves.

This is exactly what needs an official release.
I'd buy the Blu-ray.

This is great!!

Good use of AI. The watermark removal isn't perfect, but it is passable. It almost adds some old tape transfer error charm to it.

These guys were pretty good.

Largo still has two Holy Grails hidden: 1981 and 1984. We need Indiana Jones on the case!

just great what we've seen recently. Still digging that 1978 Tokyo. I was close minded and thought that the 1981 VH was the best but after that I'm sure 1978 was the best.

I think the 1978 version of the original four is the tightest CVH ever sounded live. And let's be honest, it is because DLR was actually on point night after night. Something you can't really say after their first tour.

Wish there was some way I could remember whether or not I saw the first or second night in Largo.

All I know is Coulda was there both nights.

As someone who doesn't know Van Halen's early 80s touring highlights like the rest of this board does, what's the significance of Largo? I never even knew it was a city till all these unreleased videos started showing up on YouTube.
