Band: Cake Album: Motorcade of Generosity Song: Rock’n'Roll Lifestyle Lyrics: Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly. How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi? And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket? Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket? Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs, Sometimes for music that you haven’t even heard of.

While the band attempted to record the previous night, audio problems prevented it from being used, although some video footage from that night would later surface in music videos. The concerts were part of the 1986 tour, Van Halen’s first with lead singer Sammy Hagar. The concert film changed the order in which the songs were played, as well as removing at least four songs (“You Really Got Me,” “Dreams,” “Good Enough” and “Wild Thing”) from the show. Other edits to the show were made, such as editing Eddie Van Halen’s guitar solo slightly and cutting brief moments elsewhere from the night. The performance of “Best of Both Worlds,” which included a portion of Robert Palmer’s hit “Addicted to Love” was aired during the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, but the Palmer section was edited out of the home video release. The same performance footage that aired during the MTV VMA’s continued to include “Love Walks In,” further illustrating the re-arranging of the playlist order for the edited home video version. Both aired in one continuous clip during the awards show. The continuity problems continued as displayed during the start of Eddie’s guitar solo. At one point Eddie …
