After four decades, a long lost promotional clip of Van Halen’s “So Is This Love?” finally surfaced on the internet. On the video below, it shows the legendary band lip-synching to their 1981 classic hit beside life-size dinosaurs. It was filmed on November 14, 1981 in Italy.

“At the end of 1981 Van Halen filmed some videoclip settled in a Jurassic park in Italy, the “Prehistoric Park” of Rivolta D’Adda (near Milan),” reads a caption by YouTube user Kosmo VanHalenItalia. “The band was engaged in a European tour for promoting “Fair Warning” These videos aired on Italian state television, RAI 1, during a TV show called “Happy Circus”.”

For years, there have been speculations about this mysterious footage especially since there were photos of Van Halen performing in a dinosaur park shot by the band’s roadie – photos that appeared on the 1995 issue of The Inside. At the time, nobody had any idea about the concept of the video.
