Van Halen/NY,USA 1988

VAN HALEN in the “OU812” era, which had entered its second golden age with the arrival of Sammy Hagar. The release of the best video that allows you to experience the scene in a super-realistic way has been decided. This work was filmed on “October 11, 1988 New York performance”. It is an audience shot that completely recorded the show at the traditional large venue “Madison Square Garden”. The biggest point of this work is the beautiful quality, but first of all, the position of the show. Let’s imagine it in the overall picture of the world tour 30 years ago. [1988] “OU812” released on May 24th May 27th – July 30th: North America #1 (28 performances) September 30th – November 28th: ​​North America #2 (38 performances) ←★Here★ [1989] January 19th – February 2nd: Japan (9 performances) February 4th + 5th: Hawaii (2 performances) This is the overview of “OU812 TOUR 1988-1989”. “North America #1” is the so-called “MONSTERS OF ROCK TOUR 1988”, and the official tour accompanying the album starts from “North America #2”. The New York performance of this work was the 8th concert, which was the very beginning. This work, which records such a show, is a wonderful audience shot full of a sense of work. It was shot from the stands on the left side of the stage (Michael Anthony side), and the angle is slightly downward. It’s a position where you can see the entire stage without any obstructions, perhaps because it’s the front seat. However, what’s more shocking than the spectacular view is the freshness of the master. In recent years, it has been handled by a long-established enthusiast who has been unearthing audience footage of various bands, and the visual beauty that seems to be master direct is amazing. There is no trace of white line noise, let alone slight dubbing, and the glossy and smooth video runs throughout the entire film. And the zoom. In 1988, video shooting had just become widespread, but the zoom that approaches is so bold that each member occupies the screen, and the beauty of the video is such that the facial expressions are not crushed by the close-up. Sammy and Eddie, bathed in the spotlight, are beautiful and clear, as if they are wearing an aura. In addition, the editing of this work is also superb. It’s not a multi-camera thing, but in fact the video goes into slow motion in some places. Perhaps the master or camera work was disturbed in that part. However, by extending the beautiful parts, it does not cause discomfort, and the image processing is beautiful even when returning to normal speed. It is a natural finish that seems to have been deliberately collaged with highlights, so you can enjoy the show without any discomfort. Although it is a common processing for multi-cameras, it is really amazing to finish it beautifully with one material from one camera. The show drawn with such quality is a great performance of the era of melodic hard. The masterpieces of the reborn VH masterpieces “5150” and “OU812” rush in one go, and it is simply gorgeous. Speaking of “OU812 TOUR”, the Japanese performance pro shot is representative, but there are plenty of “Runnin’ With The Devil”, “Finish What Ya Started”, “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love”, “Cabo Wabo”, and “Rock And Roll” that can not be seen there. In particular, Sammy’s version of “Runnin’ With The Devil” is a delicious song that can not be seen in “LIVE WITHOUT A NET” and “LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW”. What shines even more than these masterpieces is the image of the band on their honeymoon. Eddie and Sammy get along like brothers, and Michael joins in with a light step. Not only do they make eye contact, but they also constantly tease each other, laugh and enjoy the show. Successful bands have a good atmosphere, but it’s rare to see a honeymoon like this. It’s as if they’ve been together since birth, and believe that they will never change. They are now divided into Sammy & Michael and the Van Halen brothers, and are at their most hostile, but you can enjoy a performance that makes you think that such a future is waiting for them. Sammy & VH built an era with their refreshing melodies and energetic stage. This is a masterpiece video that allows you to experience that moment of climax 100% in the finest quality. The pinnacle of American HR that has jumped over 30 years of time and space. Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA 11th October 1988 1. A.F.U. (Naturally Wired) 2.
