Sadly the Boston concert was broadbast in HD but never relased in HD. It was also only ever released in Letterbox. Which makes it even lower quality since many lines are wasted on letterbox bars at top and bottom. It is sometimes shown in HD though. I think is was on a couple yeara ago on a cable station. The HD exists somewhere but with no Christine and little interest in this era of FM i doubt anyone would bother releasing it again.
The Dance was filmed direct to tape and edited on tape and exists only on tape. It was not filmed on FILM cameras. Worse still if was filmed on standard cameras of the late 1990s and therefore “standard definition”. Worse still ALL was filmed in 4:3 academy standard TV ratio. So if they did happen to do a new transfer to BluRay it would be 4:3 unless they CHOP the top and bottom of the screen or do some terrible Zoom with a pan and scan to make it look Widescreen. That would amplify the low resolution of the original Video source and even grainier. however a simple transfer from the original tape to Bluray might look nicer than the DVD, but not hy much and certinaly never 4K. This would more likely be the case as it was the last time the whole band was filmed together and they were comparativly more or less in their Prime compared to... well... now.
