Van Halen/Tokyo,Japan 2.1.1989

The top of the classic pro shot, also known as “VAN HAGAR’s masterpiece”, has been decided to be released. The stage for this masterpiece is Japan. This work is a multi-camera pro shot of the “February 1, 1989: Tokyo Dome” performance, which represents the “OU812” era. Many people have already seen it in some form, as it is a masterpiece video that has reigned as a classic for many years. Our shop has previously delivered the best master as “BEST OF THE DECADE (part)”, but this work is a top board that goes even further. After all, it is different from the recording time, and it is more than 10 years longer than the “BEST OF THE DECADE” version. Of course, it is the highest not only in length but also in quality. Although it is originally known as an official class, this master has no tape twist or deterioration over time, and there is not even a single white line noise. It is such a beautiful image and sound that you would think it was caused by the official laser disc (which does not exist). The show depicted in that quality is why it is called “VAN HAGAR’s masterpiece”. The Sammy Hagar era was also blessed with official live video works, but this work is the longest and best professional shot of the “OU812” era, and is the same as the official work. Here, let’s list each album and the apex professional shot. [5150 era] → Official “LIVE WITHOUT A NET” [OU812 era] → This work [F.U.C.K. era] → Official “LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW” [BALANCE era] → 1995 Florida performance professional shot In this way, there are two official videos for four albums, but this work is also one that fills the gap. And it is wonderful because it is the “OU812” era. In fact, this was a turning point that had more important meaning than just “one tour”. Looking back at the history, since Sammy joined the band in 1985, Sammy and Eddie have collaborated and toured without pause, with “5150” in 1986, Sammy’s solo “I NEVER SAID GOODBYE” in 1987, and “OU812” in 1988. They took a break with “OU812 TOUR 1988-1989”. After that, “F.U.C.K.” took a tough route in line with the times, which had made a big turn towards a street sense, and the tour changed to focus on new songs. In other words, even though it is called the “Sammy era”, 1985-1989 was full of hard and pop glamour, and 1991-1995 focused on the dynamism of heavy and tough rock. This Japan performance is the culmination of the final stage of that “1985-1989”. In fact, unlike the “new song main” of the 90s, the show of this work is a splendidly balanced “5150 + OU812 + Sammy’s solo”. It is a show in which “the chic of 1985-1989” is condensed into one show. This work is the top version of the classic pro shot that serves as an official substitute. However, it does not stop there, but also summarizes the “golden period” in the history of VAN HALEN. It is the most important historical work that can be said to be more than the official products “LIVE WITHOUT A NET” and “LIVE: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW”. It is a piece that condenses the “refreshing and energetic” big V unique to the late 80s. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content!
