an addition to the above post...

I've actually read that there was a version broadcast on MTV which includes some of the missing performances... anyone know anything about it?

I'd love to hear the missing Sting & Led Zeppelin performances
 
The full version of the concert was availble from a web site for about one hundred pounds. (Bootleg) I almost bought a copy but it was closed down by Bob Geldof when he found out about it. It was because of this site that he relized the demand and released the DVD. The BBC version is the one you should be looking for. If you find it let me know as I would love a copy.
