I get the impression from the Amazon reviews that maybe the footage doesn't exist. Geldof evidently didn't want the concert shown again at all, but of course, that changed with the big Rhino set.
It could be the masters are lost, it was never recorded to begin with, or perhaps the old bugaboo 'copyright issues.' Or, simply, that Rhino had to stay at a certain price point, and thus something had to go.

Surely there must be someone out there with a VHS recorded off the air?
It's not going to look fantastic, but it might be the only solution.

I know how hard it is to get a few artists/studios to sign off on a project, but the number of contributors to that project probably made it near impossible. I had the concert recorded to mono Beta. Mono sucks, consumer Beta doesn't exist anymore and neither does that tape. Guess I'm SOL...
