ISO: GNR U.S. TV footage for comp dvds

[Shakes]

alright .. i noticed an upcoming performance of the smashing pumpkins on jimmy kimmel soon. i have been sitting here with some time on my hands, and it made me think about possibly creating a set of u.s./canadian t.v. performances/appearances of gnr. the thing is that i do not have any t.v. footage of them on any thing i have. i used to have the the old mtv vma 2002 performance on a vhs tape i recorded myself, but i don't have it any more. i do have an mtv news clip about the cancellation of the first date of the chi-dem 2002 tour and the after math.

what i would be willing to do, if it were cool with people here is to create this with what ever footage they would want to donate/lend. i am looking either for vhs tapes, digital uncompressed avi files or hdtv .ts files that would be suitable to convert to dvd (mpeg-2). here is a list that i know of what i am looking for so far. if i am missing any thing PLEASE let me know. i want to make this as complete as possible and it will not be an abandoned project. this would include interviews and news bits as well, and not just performances. i want to put this all in order in the best quality possible.

i know this is a long shot, and of course a lot of work to find the best usable versions for these, but i would make it worth every one's while. any one who is willing to donate to this project would get a copy of the set along with their tape(s) back. i have to say, i do have some deciding factors though .. should i include live at the ritz, etc? maybe not because they're already on their own as a dvd?

i will work on a list of what i'm looking for... if i have songs on certain dates mixed up or you know the correct date on some things, please let me know to make this as accurate as possible. i can only work with ntsc format footage, so if you have something that is from american/canadian t.v., but in pal, that will not work for me, sorry.

these will professionally authored/transferred to a pc. these will not be done on the fly by a dvd recorder.

thank you for reading. please feel free to spread this around to other sites/people so they get the word. if you have any footage to work with please shoot me an e-mail. i promise to not screw any one over. i just love this band and want to create this. it will give me something to do and i know a lot of people would enjoy this. this is not an attempt to create a better compilation than the "get in the ring" dvds, those are awesome!
