I know I am probably dreaming, since National Lampoon is no longer the gold standard of comedy it once was. It was acquired, and then reacquired by shady unfunny "business men" and then they painfully flushed it down the toilet, with futile attempts to continue the Lampoon brand in its final years. I'm not even talking about the "Van Wilder" years. Which was a hot smelly can of Garbage so bad, even Oscar the Grouch would vacate the premises. No, "Van Wilder" as poor and pale of a comedic comparison it was to the early greats like the "Vacation" films and "Animal House"? "Van Wilder" was sheer genius, when held up to the awful straight to video titles that followed years to come after. So what happens with VHS only releases like this? One's that not only deserve a proper release? (On Blu-Ray) But also a ACTUAL proper release with all the cut songs intact! I'd love to see the Chevy Chase performed song, "Colorado". It was one of several songs that were cut from this, hard to find VHS only released Lampoon classic. The cut songs are on the album. But from my understanding they not only shot this heavily edited release. They shot several other varying performances of this star studded spoof of Woodstock. Release it already!
