Van Halen Donnington 1984

Has anyone got a reliable way to download YouTube videos?

I just typed 'Youtube Downloader' in Google, picked the first link and pasted the youtube video link in the url box at the site.

I also have one of those Mozilla Firefox add-ons for downloading Youtube videos.

Some of those online downloaders seemed dodgy. I've installed Firefox and the YouTube add-on and that's worked ok thanks.

This footage once again truly showcases Van Halen as they were....MIGHTY!

Sad that just four more shows afterwards it was going to be the end. Of course that was neither the plan nor was known to anyone at the time. Just like every other tour, Dave would go out to the jungles and the rest of the band would revert back to whatever they would do.

Then reconvene.

Struggling with Video Download Helper this morning but the first thing that came up on Google worked great.

Dave and Alex seem to still be on decent terms there, but not much interaction between Dave and Ed.

One can speculate that Yoko Bertinelli being there is possibly not helping things...

What was that first thing? It's probable that your google algorithm is pretty different from mine at this point...

Not that we needed any reassurance but this also shows the brilliance and energy of Dave. Its non stop. Even without even doing a high split jump during the show (I take it his knee was bothering him) And on top of it all singing his ass off. Try doing that while running a marathon which is what Dave was doing.

I've used a program called Wondershare UniConverter for years. It's not free...I paid for a license...but it works flawlessly and I can download anything from YouTube in any resolution I like and quickly. I downloaded this Donington file in 30 seconds.

[Seshmeister]

The Mozilla thing worked fine but I think it may have lost a bit of resolution.

I want to get the best possible version so we can have it here for download if/when it gets pulled from YouTube permanently.

Didn't throw up any warnings in either Chrome or Firefox

[Seshmeister]

Looking at this more I think Firefox downloaded at 360p and the original was 480p so I'll try the y2mate thing again. First time I tried it didn't seem to work but it may have been because of my popup blockers and AV.

Rumors that this video was part of Neil Monks private collection which would make sense...

If true, I'm hoping that the pro-shot 1984 Largo show is coming too. THAT is the ultimate holy grail (and was listed in an official listing of Monk's archive possessions)...though this comes close.

I have a feeling that will be the next thing to drop.

Wasnt there a story that said Ed and Al visited Noel?

Probably sometime in 2017-18. Around then.

To take a look at old videos for any potential release.
