That would be cool, we currently have a VOB file for that one but would be good to compare

If it's from the BBC performances DVD that was on Dime several years ago then it's the same source.

Both sources that we currently have are very lossy, so it might be worthwhile to check that DVD or perhaps just do a new extraction if it's the same source.
Thanks for chasing this up - we're pretty good on everything now but would very much welcome fresh VHS transfers of any of these, as the versions we have do have scope for improvement:

The EV appearance on Letterman from 1996 would make great filler if there is room. I don't have a decent copy, but had it on a 3rd or 4th gen mono VHS back before we heard of youtube.
This sounds rad. I certainly appreciate the work you guys do on these comps. Certainly fills a gap with my need for good PJ content in between albums, tours etc

I know I'm too late for anything other than archival purposes, but I was finally able to transfer those videos. (This summer has been fucking brutal.) Here's all but Singles Scene. These versions are trimmed and normalized for YouTube, but I still have the master files.
1992 MTV VMAs - this is from the live broadcast. (24-year-old VHS playing through a 24-year-old VCR.)
1993 MTV VMAs - also from the live broadcast, hence the questionable audio mix.
Letterman '96 - just "Hail Hail". I have a copy of the original broadcast (which I can't seem to find at the moment), but I accidentally discovered last night that I had a superior copy from a 1997 rebroadcast. (I've transferred the '96 tape before - just need to track down the master files.)
