I can tell you one recording that's NOT available:
Autumn '73 Hawkwind did a festival appearance in Gothenburg, Sweden. Swedish television filmed the whole set - 6 to 8 bands I think - and broadcasted parts of it in July '74.

Hawkwind was well cut down - only a 2 mins passage of Master of the Universe was there - but it was HEAVY (says those who has seen it)

Unfortunally Swedish Television erased all tapes from this event to spare shelves. Pity.

No, noone had invented the VCR at the time - no copies exists :0(
