I finally got my VHS tape of the Unplugged show (along with several other Unplugged shows on the DVD) digitized and was glad to see it. It also has the '93 SNL performance and a 2002 Letterman appearance doing "Golden Age". Hadn't seen any of it in ages, it was great to see it all again.

Is there any way to convince Sony or MTV to release this complete live
session? (Hope, hope!) It would be a superb addition to the Oils catalog!

There's been a DVD sourced from digitised VHS version floating around
for
a few years - mine is on a Fogonthetyne compilation DVD, but I think
there's a few other versions from the same source.
Songs are the same as yours, since that's what was broadcast at the
time.
Video quality is OK but not amazing - about as good as old VHS transfers
get, though.
There's also a very rare source that includes the songs that were not
broadcast...at least one person has previously tried to share that here,
but its origin is a bit murky (possibly stolen from MTV if I recall
correctly).
Basically there's nothing new about your version, but some members might
appreciate it since, AFAIK, there's no other version currently available
online - dimeadozen.org doesn't allow this show to be seeded because it
contributed songs to an officially released album.

back in 1998 i was a design student at SVA in NYC and my graphic design
instructor that year worked at MTV. She was able to give me a VHS of
Midnight Oil Unplugged that I always meant to digitize to video and
also
make audio tracks, but never did.
I finally got around to doing that, its only VHS quality but its better
than nothing if there isn't a better copy floating out there. The whole
video is 50 minutes long and just over 1GB. 640x480 stereo.
first off, is there a better copy already available? if not, what is
the
best way to help share this with fellow Powderworkers? I am thinking i
could post it on Dropbox and share that link (back in the late 90's i
also
used to host a MO ftp site for bootlegs, but probably couldn't handle
the
bandwidth for this right now)
i probably could break up the songs to individual videos to help share
smaller files. Let me know what, if anything, we have in place.
