January 5, 1998 -
The wait is over! We are happy to announce that the full-length versions of
both videos for Once are now available from the
Van Halen News Desk!
If you can't wait, scroll down to the bottom of this page for your
download options.
Back in July we reported that the next single from Van Halen III would be a
remixed version of Once. Unfortunately, the executives at Warner Bros.
decided against the idea and plans for the single were shelved.
What we didn't know at the time was that
David Bertinelli, brother of
Edward's wife Valerie, was hard at work producing a video for
the single. David, a professional photographer who has worked with the
band since 1980, shot the at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit on
May 19, 1998.
Two versions of the video were produced. The edited single version runs 4:14, the
full-length album version clocks in at 7:45. Both versions are now available
for download from this site!
The videos are an Internet Exclusive! Consider them a gift from the band to
you, the fans who have supported them throughout this past year.
