This is my Van Halen 3-25-79 Selland Arena footage re-mastered from the Original Half-Inch Video Tape & my Original STEREO Audio Tapes. Speed correction has been incorporated. Original Recording by: D.L.(DJ) Johnson. …thx2j

I call bullshit on this description. This is originally from 16mm film transferred to VHS tape – NOT 1/2 inch video tape. It’s the same DVD that DJ started selling not that long ago. The VHS tape was transferred using a stand alone cheapo DVD recorder that really knocked the audio quality down from the original audio tapes. DJ synched it by trying to play the audio tape with a cassette player while at the same time playing the film with a projector and recording both with a VHS camera. Needless to say, even after dozens of tries – it still didn’t turn out to be synched very well and the between reel portions are still there.

Well, he at least he posted in in 480p, not 240p……that’s an upgrade in itself.

Odd the timing of this, since I just brought this up the other day.
