Van Halen at Donnington in 1984
https://youtu.be/L6U5Cv7YJ0MThe only video I have seen of of this show was a snippet of Hot for Teacher and the camera person keyed on Roth and Anthony. This shows the Mighty VH at their zenith. And just a few months later the wheels fell of the biggest band in the world.

39 years to the day. Watch it now before Alex Van Halen gets it taken down or the fat kid in black Wolfgang makes them take it down.

And it’s gone.

in 2010 I was having lunch with a 20-year old girl co-worker at the mortgage company I was at. I brought up Van Halen and she had no idea who I was talking about. You go from biggest band in the world to where a 20-year old has never heard of you.El_K said:

I had a similar experience a couple months back. Was wearing a Muse t-shirt and the young 20's Costco bagger noticed and liked it. I told them they were my second favorite band behind Van Halen and the guy looked like he'd never heard of them. Sad.DerekJohnson said:

I guess they just didn’t care about their legacy, which is sad. At least Sammy and Mike are doing Van Hagar to keep things alive.DerekJohnson said:

Billy Eilish was asked by Jimmy Kimmel to name a member of Van Halen. She couldn’t. When I was 8 I could name a member of Foreigner or KISS or Chicago.
