For the past week, some random user on youtube has uploaded hours and hours of unseen Van Halen videos, mostly pro quality. Unfortunately, only hours (or days) later they will get removed due to copyright infringement or whatever.
Pisses me off when bootleg hoarders want absolutely no-one else to view the material. I don't think most regular listeners know, but there's this cottage industry of collectors that mostly just hoard this stuff, and enjoy sitting on it. They will only sell it, or trade it against something they don't own. And they are all extremely protective of it - of course.
I highly recommend 4K Download. A lifetime license is less than $30 and it is dead-simple to use. I’ve been using it to download old concert footage and debates because I’ve noticed them disappearing.
I'm not sure if it's just me but I only see ONE photo of U2. By the title I was expecting to see more. I hope more concert venues digitize stuff like this.
The viewer actually has 'presentation mode' which opens in full screen, but if you rotate your phone 90° it just closes after a second (Chrome on Android).
I honestly don't think I could write something this bad if I tried.

- a very happy customer.

Happens with video game source codes / unreleased builds too, unfortunately.

The viewer is absolute garbage (on Firefox at least). It shows postage-stamp sized pictures which are hard to navigate:

And of course it has some nonsense DRM so that you can't just download the photographs. The archive is publicly funded and the public gets this.
It's beyond shit.
