Don't worry, most video collectors are already in the "Search/Scramble" mode
for the HOB show. I have made no less than 20 phone calls to a couple of 
"people" in Chicago that can help me out. 

The rule of thumb is usually that if a show is broadcast onto a TV screen,
there will be a video boot. ESPECIALLY if it is done in Chicago. 

I remember when the Who played in Chicago in 1979, most of you have seen 
footage of that boot (30 Years Maximum R & B). That show (Chicago 12/08/79) 
was playing on the TV at Rolling Stone records the next morning.
