mrmojohalen(6468) | thismusicsux: fascinating info about this old footage from Oryo.I think these rival Oakland 81 for holy grail status. ha. This comment several months ago alluding to DJ passing sounds legit but who knows, maybe just more bad info to keep him in hiding. * http://www.vhnd.com/2010/04/09/video-van-halen-unleashed-in-fresno-1978/#comment-883029064
Check this out:
His roommate had the idea of rigging up the wheelchair with a film camera and asked if Johnson could rig it up if he bought the camera,
to which Johnson replied, “Sure!”
His roommate owned the camera ! Perhaps his roommate had all of the master reels & finally,
after all these years, had them converted to digital. 
When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

Much went into DJ’s musicals and videos, much more than he acclaimed. He has since passed from our world and will be missed by family and friends. Especially by me, he was the love of my life then and forever remembered as DJ lover of life. Living life to the fullest and beyond. And in a comment on one of van halen youtube video it says RIP DJ
Did he really pass away ?

It would make sense that his roommate has the original footage and DJ got a copy of that and claiming the footage is his? Maybe, the fire thing and everything else was just a ploy since he doesn’t have the 8 reel??? Like Randy mentioned, if somebody does get the entire HD version and releases it then I wouldn’t mind sloppy 2nd or sloppy 10,000th.. It’s still going to be the same clean version as the original!

I just saw this too what you posted: Vickie Farr • 11 months ago

Especially by me, he was the love of my life then and forever remembered as DJ lover of life. Living life to the fullest and beyond. It’s sad to hear that he passed since he was really a very nice person when we would contact each other. He did give me the full DLR show from Fresno ’86 to share here at VHT. So maybe now somebody has their hands on all this footage by either buying it or it was handed over to them. This is turning into a Soap Opera!

jroundy(1418) | I had a feeling this was going to happen…. I downloaded all the videos as soon as I was aware of them.
The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead. Nobody rules these streets at night like Van Halen!!
