This is ripped from an MTVEurope video feed of Van Halen performing "Hot for Teacher" at Leicestershire, UK. It sounds very good and goes great on other boots if you have any space left over.

Far as I’m concerned, Eddie’s the complete package. Technique aside, his rhythm playing, feel, songwriting, tone, riffs, leads, man, it’s all there. It’s like the best-tasting beer you ever drank in your life! ~Zakk Wylde
No. This was burned from a UK TV feed I think. I don't believe a full boot of this concert exists, at least not a soundboard version to match this song.

This song is from Donnington in 1984 and I think the TV show that it was pulled from is called The Old Grey Whistle Test. I've a bootleg of it on video somewhere. The show was filmed by the BBC so I presume they could have filmed the whole show and it's lost in the archives somewhere. However only HFT was shown.
The TV show also included some interviews with DLR and AC/DC who headlined Donnington in 84. If I remember correctly at the end, the presenter of the show gives Angus Young a How to Play Guitar book, as a present from Eddie.

Ha ha! Thanks for the info. After closely listening to the song last night night, it sounds a bit mono. to me, so I am assuming the BBC was not broadcasting in stereo yet in 1984, as most TV in the States also was not.
But I really think this song was from Leicestershire; the Donnington Boot is up here and it's a slightly different version I think. You can view it and decide for yourself at this Roth Army link. You have to be a member to access bootlegs over there though.
