hi guys, some comments:

i think Gord would rather that many of the TV appearances, that we already got our hands on, be taken out of circulation (might even pay $100K to burn them, lol)

so i dont see his people compiling something of high quality unless he is saving up to release all down the road and make for sale so that his dependents/beneficiaries prosper ...this may happen the same day that he or his estate starts letting his tunes be used for commercial jingles

bootleg VHS compilations have been made over the years, they have also been transferred to DVD for what it is worth but at no better quality

thanks for the tip JJo, yes, I more often click on the Watch in High Quality button (I notice audio improvement, which is usually what I am seeking) on youtube if available, then I might try go full screen but everything gets pixelated and even lower resolution so I just usually watch the 3X4 inch window with my nose to the monitor, lol

for above, how about pasting the existing URLs for clips or series (song by song) of clips underneath each of the appearance headings listed above ...I could give it a go but I thought it was a job for Mighty Jessie would might already have a catalogue of these links he has surfed out....maybe Sir John or Annie...I dont know if its a job for char, she is still working on mastering the copy and paste

I would recommend taking the checklist (we must have a good 20-40% already available online) into MS Word and assembling the URLs from prior posts then pasting it back into a thread... I dont know if folks do this at other fan sites, I would hope nobody would end up profiting from something like this ...a good rainy day task anyhow
