my understanding is they are just approved snippets and that full airing is not approved by various parties or we'd see them rebroadcast on TV (and there would be huge ratings, imo)...at the CBC museum in the lobby they loop GL playing Spin Spin, such a clean copy it's kinda depressing as to what other hi quality footage lurks in that building...i've never seen that 'students' footage before they put it on the archive site, cheers CBC (glad to see my tax dollar at work, lol)
ps) char, that 'new' CRT, colour, mint condition footage shown during the Idol montage was actually vocal lip-synch but still a wonderful GL era captured in time so very clearly...hi-definiton-like
