Snade Krellman was VH’s first manager Marshal Berle’s alias nickname. The 1978 Japan footage was filmed during his tenure. There was VH Document showing the live concert footage from one of the Japan 78 shows was unusable due to dark lighting issues & didn’t want to pay for it.
I too thought maybe the 1978 footage might have come from him but he was out of the picture after 1978 or 1979.
The supposed 1980 Invasion Tour footage story stemmed from David’s interview in QUI magazine. I think most of what he said was overblown and misleading but also probably referring to the 1978 x- rated footage which was mentioned in Noel Monks book. We know they brought film cameras onstage during that tour but it was just a show biz thing to rev up the crowd.
