Surprisingly, the video tags in modern youtube. Pulled a random video from archive, Converse Hands Man:

Grab the 'v' parameter and paste it into a modern youtube video URL:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W-14qlnQWI

and watch Converse Hands Man in modern youtube glory.

Clicking on the second link shows "Video unavailable" for me.

Same for me, I believe this is the video and it's gotten a new ID for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKw9QH1yH5Q
