Default DVDs, anybody? [COME ON, WON'T SOMEBODY REPLY?!]

It just occurred to me to ask this here, on the off-chance someone might know the answer.
I listen to a lot of old 90's indiemo. You know, Mineral, Christie Front Drive, Bells on Trike, etc. I've been noticing VHS rips of concerts by bands like these have started showing up on YouTube, uploaded by people who were there, filmed the shows, then put the tapes away in some dusty shoebox which was rediscovered 15 years later and uploaded to the internet. In the case of some bands, the people who filmed the shows would take a bit more care and make a DVD of the show they filmed, and then distribute it for free via torrent or some similar method. A good example of this would be the Smashing Pumpkins - just take a look on ZOMB under their name and you will see what I mean.
Bands like, to quote my earlier example, Mineral, don't have that going on. I'd like to work to change that. This is why I'm making this thread. Please, if you filmed a show by one of those great old bands (Mineral, CFD, Bells On Trike, SDRE, Jimmy Eat World, American Football, The Promise Ring, etc...) would you PLEASE upload it in DVD format for the fans of the bands to enjoy? It really would be nice, as the lesser-known bands are just as good (if not better!) as the ones everyone's heard of.
That part aside, as a little PS, if you know of torrents/links to DVDs of those kinds of bands, I would appreciate having the link. Maybe you could reply to this post...?
Sorry for the long rant. At any rate, my point has been made.

EDIT (2/12/11) - This thread has been up a week and I haven't got a single response. Is this just an uninteresting topic or something?

Unfortunately I think that emo concert footage is an area so obscure that it can only be rivaled by my ultimate quest: Native indiemo! (so far I'm the only musician I know of)
I saw some Cap'n jazz footgage on youtube that was pretty good. Other than that... Maybe just ask around on blogs that specialize on obscure emo. Like, ask the people who upload the music.
Good luck!

Look sorry, but we don't promote torrent sharing here, if anyone does want to send you links they can do so via PM. Also, this thread doesn't appear to be particularly relevant. Be grateful for people even taping the shows. Remember technology isn't available to everyone.
