Does anyone know where this is from? Is it from a Betamax tape? Are there any torrents out there with good video and sound quality?

It was on a show about the US Festival that aired on TV a while back, in Australia anyway. (After doing some more research it appears to be playing on vh1 classic in the US.)
It was basically a retrospective with segments of footage from the US Festivals with commentary from Steve Wozinak and Mark Goodman as well as other famous people.
It was three episodes with a couple of songs from each band that played the festival. Sadly Outside the Rain and Stand Back were the only Stevie songs played on the show. There was mention that the whole festival was to be released on DVD digitally remastered but I don't think it's going to happen.
This was the website for the festivalshttp://www.woz.org/US/
IMDB:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754801/
A while ago there was info on there about the TV show and the possibility of the DVD release but it's all been taken down.
I'd imagine the man with the original masters (Wozinak?) hasn't planned to release it as yet.
It would be incredible if they did remaster and release Stevie's and all the other band's footage from the festival.

The US festival recordings have been circulating for years as a bootleg. It was released on DVD in 2008 as "broadcasting live" but this had since been discontinued. The audio is available on CD in the UK as "live on air" but im not sure if this has been released elsewhere

Here's a great clip of Stevie from that US Festival radio thingy from May 1983.

WOAH I've never seen the US fest peformance in such HQ before :O
I know a lot of the tracks were heavilly edited for this show for later TV and radio broadcast (in the same style as Red Rocks) with many overdubs and retakes in the studio, but I've seen it this good before!
