Yes it is, and what i have heard someone purchased this from the estate of Noel Monk and is claiming ownership and having it removed. Curt Gooch is his name.
And the question is, did Noel Monk have proper ownership and rights to the film in the first place???

How many of you VH freaks think “A Different Kind Of Truth” was kinda underrated?

I thought it was decent, not great but certainly not horrible. Some of the stuff was based off demos/reworks of old tracks of theirs from the 70s.

I think “lll” with Gary Cherone was their worst, although there were still songs I liked on it.

Saw VH "supporting" Bon Jovi at the Milton Keynes bowl in '96. They were billed as very special guests rather than support. It was a great day, both bands, plus 2 others, were superb.

Also, throughout my entire adult life, I have proved incapable of hearing the word "Panama" said in any context without me immediately bursting into song. It is an affliction I don't think will ever go away.

Fact checking my own post, seems its more likely Wembley in '95. MK in '96 was a different line up.

Van Halen *FULL SHOW* 1978 September 8. 8mm - 4k



Step into the time machine with Speedy's Films as we unveil a rock 'n' roll relic - Van Halen live at the Niagara Falls Convention Center on September 8, 1978.

Filmed by Speedy himself on Super8 reels during his days as a photographer and tour bus driver in the vibrant '70s, this footage captures the essence of a legendary era in music history. Now, we're thrilled to present a revamped 4K version with updated audio, offering you an immersive experience like never before.

But that's not all! In a unique twist, we've decided to leave in all the audio in-between the video segments. This means you're not just getting the highlights; you're getting the entire show, trimmed only to remove the unnecessary "fat." It's a front-row seat to witness Van Halen's magic with every nuance, every riff, and every moment that made that night unforgettable.

In the spirit of complete transparency, we'd like to address a minor aspect of the video. During the final song, you may notice a slight variance in audio quality compared to the rest of the performance, and eagle-eyed viewers might observe a few scenes that aren't perfectly aligned. Regrettably, despite our meticulous efforts, achieving seamless synchronization for some scenes proved to be a challenging task. Additionally, we suspect there might be a missing song from the audio.We extend our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Please rest assured that we spared no effort to present you with the highest quality experience. Your understanding is immensely appreciated, and we trust that you'll still find immense enjoyment in this nostalgic journey with Van Halen.

Audio Sync and Produced by: Speedy's Films
