Here's the deal...
I got sent a link to download this show if I promised to create a YT Channel and upload it for all the fans.
This is the best footage of VH on the 1984 tour. It's killer.
Four shows later they were done, never to play again together in the original lineup.
Technical details and other nerdy stuff:
This was shot with one camera on 16mm film
by British Cinematographer Steve Alcorn.
The audio is mono, and is not soundboard.
It's a single mic onstage, near the speakers
and you can hear everything clearly.
There was another camera at this show, covering part of it for the
BBC show "Old Grey Whistle Test".
That video is on YT as well and that's the only the footage
everyone has seen from this show until now.
My guess is that this camera was working for Van Halen/Warner Bros.
because he has access to the whole stage and is allowed to go anywhere.
This footage was probably transferred at Pacific Title to video tape
and put on a shelf at Pacific Title until someone "liberated" it a few years ago.|
Here's a one page photocopy of the original ledger of VH media at Pacific Title.
Donnington footage is listed at the top.
