A simple rule of thumb is that if there's no picture available, it's probably one of two reasons: I haven't seen it yet, or it's not downloaded/uploaded yet. Or I've just forgotten, but hopefully not.

Rating: A+
Cast: Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell, Rayner Bourton, Anthony Head
Notes: In 2006, Richard O’Brien, who wrote the book, music and lyrics, rewrote the narration for the show and a cast of performers was put together from previous stars of the show and other amazing performers on stage for the first time in 33 years, back where it all began. They are joined by one of the best Franks ever, Anthony Head, as well as original Transylvanians from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Pro-shot.

You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown | November 1998 | WMV
North Shore Center For The Performing Arts, Skokie, IL
Cast: Kristen Chenoweth (Lucy), Anthony Rapp (Charlie Brown), B.D. Wong
Notes: Video is very poor quality, definitely from a handheld camera. Some obstruction from heads occasionally. Audio is fairly clear although it should be turned up to be heard well. For example, ARapp and Chenoweth are definitely recognizable voices. Lots of washout from the stage lights, seems to be shot from left balcony.
